Himalayan Radiance Retreat: 12 Days Yoga, Ayurveda & Vedic Astrology
‘Himalayan Radiance Retreat’ – a 12-day immersive journey in Rishikesh, where the magical charm of the Himalayas meets the transformative power Ayurveda, Vedic Astrology, Sound, Mantra, and Hindu Rituals.
Our unique mix of experiential learning, day trips, personalized Ayurvedic treatments, and spiritual exploration promises not just a retreat but a radiant transformation journey.
This retreat will focus on specific yogic and Ayurvedic practices that have been used for millennia to reclaim the body’s inner luminosity and a radiant, peaceful mind. We’ll have time to practice asana, pranayama, breath awareness and meditation to experience our inherent beauty and joy. There will also be time to pause, reflect and enjoy nature with hikes and waterfalls, as well as experience the vibrant city of Rishikesh, attending ceremonies and visiting ancient temples and ashrams that remain full of life and devotion to this day.
This is the finest time to attend our ’12 Days Himalayan Radiance Retreat’ and visit India. As March is known for being the most pleasant month to visit Rishikesh, expect pleasant spring weather with clear skies and ideal temperatures. Moreover, our retreat will be enriched by the Indian festival “Holi” – A celebration of colors.
The Pancha Maha Bhutas, or five elements—Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether—are foundational in both Ayurveda and Yoga philosophy. In this retreat, their interconnection is explored deeply. Earth corresponds to stability and foundation in yoga, influencing the root chakra, while Ayurveda uses it to balance bodily tissues.
Water, associated with emotions, aligns with the sacral chakra in yoga and is vital in Ayurveda for fluid balance. Fire embodies transformation, linked to the solar plexus chakra and the digestive fire in Ayurveda. Air, representing breath and movement, connects to the heart chakra in yoga and governs vital energies in Ayurveda. Ether, the subtlest element, transcends space and resonates with the throat chakra and Vata dosha in Ayurveda.
Vedic astrology further enriches this tapestry by illustrating how planetary positions influence these elements within individuals. The retreat, woven with Kirtans and Hindu rituals, harmonizes these elements through practices, enhancing self-awareness and holistic well-being. The vibrant Holi festival and rejuvenating Ayurvedic treatments add cultural and healing dimensions. Exploring the elements in sightseeing activities and day trips creates moments of serenity and connection with the profound forces that shape our existence.
