Our 7-Day Yoga Retreat in Rishikesh is designed to help you rest, heal, and reconnect
The 7 Days Yoga Retreat in Rishikesh at Aatm Yogashala is a 7-day, 6-night healing and wellness programme combining Hatha and Ashtanga yoga, daily pranayama, guided meditation and a full week of Rishikesh excursions — from the Ganga Aarti to a sunrise trek to Kunjapuri temple. It suits beginners and intermediate practitioners alike, professionals who need more than a weekend to properly reset, and travellers seeking physical healing and mental clarity rather than a teaching certification. New batches run every month at our Yoga Village campus in Swargashram, with shared and private rooms, 100% sattvic vegetarian meals and free Dehradun (DED) airport pickup included — fees start at USD $250.
The 7 Days Yoga Retreat in Rishikesh at Aatm Yogashala is a 7-day, 6-night healing and wellness programme built for beginner-to-intermediate practitioners who want a full week to properly rest, not just a long weekend.
Set on the banks of the Ganges at our Yoga Village campus in Swargashram, the retreat blends:
Looking for something different? If three or five days feels too short but a full teacher-training course feels like more commitment than you want right now, this retreat sits right in between — and if you'd rather build a certified, teachable practice, our 100 Hour Yoga Teacher Training is the better fit.
Every 7-day batch runs on a set daily rhythm:
Excursions cover the opening hawan fire ceremony, sunrise at Kunjapuri/Balkumari temple, Ganga Aarti at Parmarth Niketan, outdoor yoga by the river, a Vashishtha meditation-cave visit, the Bhootnath temple sunset, and even a classical-music evening.

Food not only determines our physical health, but also our thinking and feelings. Yoga does not divide food into protein, carbohydrate, and fats; it divides it into the influence on the body and the mind into three types: sattva, rajas, and tamas. Sattvic food is that which makes you feel enthusiastic and energetic.
Aatm Yogashala offers accommodations which are a sparkling combination of Indian traditions and modern amenities to make the student feel a part of home out of his/her site and a good place to work as a learning environment in yoga. Both the yoga halls at Aatm are clean, neat, and have ample space in the lap of nature. We are persistent when it comes to providing our students with the most adequate environment to learn yoga, hence peaceful and quiet surroundings that are conducive to a healthy mind and body.

You don't need to take this on faith — mind-body practices used in the 7-day retreat have documented, evidence-based benefits.
In a study by Thomas Jefferson Medical College and the Yoga Research Society, participants who practised yoga daily for seven days showed a measurable drop in the stress hormone cortisol compared with a non-yoga control period (Yoga Journal, citing Thomas Jefferson Medical College & Yoga Research Society).
Separately, the U.S. National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) reports that yoga is linked to reduced anxiety, better sleep and lower blood pressure across multiple clinical studies.
In addition, NCCIH's review of meditation and mindfulness research found meditation practices strongly associated with pain reduction and improved coping with stress — giving your body and mind a genuine week of reset by the Ganges.
