Spend two weeks immersed in the practice of traditional Hatha Yoga while experiencing the rhythm of authentic ashram life at YogAnga Retreat, nestled between Rishikesh and Haridwar in the foothills of the Himalayas.
Guided by Mandakini Puri, Ganga Puri, and other available teachers, this residential course offers a balanced introduction to āsana, prāṇāyāma, meditation, and yogic living. Whether you are beginning your practice or looking to deepen an existing one, the program provides a supportive environment for steady and meaningful growth.
Each day follows the natural rhythm of the ashram, combining practice, self-discipline, reflection, and community life. Morning yoga sessions are adapted to the needs and abilities of participants, while afternoon prāṇāyāma and meditation allow for a deeper exploration of the inner dimensions of yoga.
An essential aspect of the experience is Karma Yoga—the practice of selfless service. Through simple daily tasks such as gardening, food preparation, or caring for shared spaces, participants discover yoga as something lived beyond the mat.
Time is also dedicated to Svādhyāya (self-study), encouraging reflection through journaling, scriptural study, or quiet observation. The ashram library offers a rich collection of yogic texts and commentaries for those wishing to deepen their understanding.
More than a course, this residential immersion is an opportunity to experience yoga as a way of life—cultivating discipline, simplicity, presence, and inner balance within a traditional spiritual environment.
