A long-running Rishikesh yoga school that also runs short residential retreats at its Dhyan Mandir ashram south of the town. A 3-night retreat starts twice a month and combines asana, cleansing practices, philosophy talks and meditation, with vegetarian meals.
Our take · editors' note
Suits: Suits beginners wanting a short, structured yoga break by the Ganga in south Rishikesh, with twice-daily asana, cleansing practices and vegetarian meals.
Maybe not for: Not for anyone wanting flexible start dates or a quiet hotel-style stay; retreats begin on set dates and follow a group timetable.

- solo travellers
