Welcome to Vedanjana

Seven Days of
Genuine Transformation

The 7-Day Yoga & Meditation Retreat at Vedanjana is a genuine one-week immersion — not a holiday with a yoga class attached. Designed for working professionals, intermediate practitioners and anyone who has been meaning to deepen their practice for years, this programme gives you the structure, the teachers and the environment to actually do it.

Over seven days you will move through the full arc of a classical yoga education: Hatha yoga for physical foundation, Ashtanga Vinyasa for breath and flow, Shatkarma for internal cleansing, pranayama for energy management, and philosophy to understand why you are doing any of it. By day seven, your practice will feel fundamentally different to how it did on day one.

Rishikesh is not just a backdrop — it is a participant. The sacred Ganges, the Himalayan air, the energy of a city that has been a centre of yoga for centuries: all of this becomes part of your week in ways that simply cannot be replicated in a city studio, an online class, or a resort spa.

Daily Programme

Daily Schedule: 7-Day Yoga Retreat in Rishikesh

The 7-day schedule is structured for depth, not speed. Morning sessions are physically demanding; evenings turn inward toward philosophy and meditation. Early rest is essential — the body needs recovery time to assimilate the work of each day.

Time	Activity
06:30 – 07:00	Shatkarma Cleansing Practices (Jala Neti, Kapalabhati)
07:00 – 07:30	Mantra Chanting & Pranayama
07:30 – 09:15	Yoga Session I — Hatha Yoga & Ashtanga Vinyasa
09:15 – 10:30	Breakfast & Rest
10:30 – 12:00	Yoga Philosophy, Anatomy & Theory
12:00 – 13:30	Self-Study, Journalling & Free Time
13:30 – 14:30	Lunch
14:30 – 16:00	Rest, Nature Walk or Independent Practice
16:00 – 16:15	Afternoon Herbal Tea
16:30 – 17:45	Yoga Session II — Alignment, Adjustments & Advanced Pranayama
18:00 – 19:00	Meditation & Evening Satsang (Philosophy Discussion)
19:30 – 20:30	Dinner
22:00	Lights Out — Rest is Part of the Practice

Please note: The course begins at 2:00 PM on Day 1 (orientation, room settling, teacher introductions) and concludes before noon on Day 7 (final practice, certificate presentation, checkout). Shatkarma cleansing is optional and guided — no prior experience required.

Benefits

Why a Short Yoga Course Works

🧠

Burnout Recovery

Seven days of consistent practice, sattvic nutrition and the natural environment of the Himalayan foothills produces measurable changes in the nervous system. Guests consistently describe feeling "fundamentally different" by Day 5.

📚

Real Understanding of Yoga

Philosophy, anatomy and Shatkarma transform your relationship with yoga from a fitness activity into a complete science. Most guests say this week changed how they practise permanently.

🏔️

Rishikesh as a Practice

The Ganges, the Himalayas, the temples, the silence of early mornings — Rishikesh has been a centre of yogic teaching for centuries. Spending a full week here lets that environment actually penetrate.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What level of experience do I need for the 7-day retreat?

Some prior yoga experience is helpful — even a few months of regular classes is enough. The 7-day programme introduces Ashtanga Vinyasa, Shatkarma cleansing and philosophy, which go beyond what a complete beginner would be ready for. If you are brand new to yoga, we recommend the 3-day retreat first.

How is the 7-day retreat different from the 3-day retreat?

The 3-day retreat is a taster — Hatha yoga, pranayama, mantra and meditation. The 7-day adds Ashtanga Vinyasa, Shatkarma cleansing practices, yoga philosophy (Yoga Sutras), anatomy and physiology, and evening satsang with teachers. You leave with a fundamentally different understanding of yoga — and a certificate.

Is this a good retreat for burnout or stress recovery?

Yes — and it is one of the most searched-for reasons people book a one-week yoga retreat in Rishikesh. Seven days of consistent practice, sattvic food, no screens and natural surroundings resets the nervous system in ways that two weeks of holiday often cannot.

What is included in the fee?

Accommodation (6 nights), 3 Ayurvedic vegetarian meals daily, all yoga and theory sessions, Shatkarma practices, pranayama, mantra chanting, evening meditation and satsang, yoga mats and props, study materials, and a certificate of completion. Transfers are available at additional cost.

Can I join as a solo traveller or as a couple?

Both are very welcome. Solo travellers make up a large portion of guests and the small group size (max 10) creates genuine connection. Couples can book double occupancy rooms at ₹19,500 per person and practise together in all sessions.

How do I book and what happens after?

Complete the booking form and pay a 10% token online. You will receive a confirmation by email. Our team will contact you to share arrival details, what to pack, and any pre-retreat preparation guidance. The balance is due on arrival at the centre.

Can I continue practising online after the retreat?

Yes. We offer live online yoga and meditation classes taught by the same Vedanjana teachers — perfect for maintaining your practice after you return home. See our online yoga classes →
