Where This Course Takes You
What You'll Take Home
Ten days is long enough for real change to begin. You leave with:
- A calmer nervous system — and the pranayama techniques to settle it again whenever life turns loud.
- Your own Yoga Nidra habit: the skill of resting consciously and deeply, often more restorative than sleep itself.
- A short daily practice — breath, movement, meditation — realistically sized for busy mornings back home.
- An understanding, from yogic philosophy, of how stress actually works — and how the ancient teachings answer modern pressure.
- Genuine rest: most guests tell us they sleep better in their first three days here than they had in months.

Yoga Nidra — a deeply restorative afternoon practice that guides you into conscious rest, helping dissolve deep-seated stress and fatigue that the body has been holding onto.

Ayurvedic Care You Can Trust
Meet Dr. Bhupinder Singh Arora — Our Ayurvedic Doctor
Every health-focused program at Pure Soul Yoga School is guided by Dr. Bhupinder Singh Arora, who earned his M.D. in Ayurveda from Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University, Pune, and has been practising Ayurvedic panchakarma for 16 years.
He has served as an honorary professor and adviser to well-known institutions and is the former Head of the Panchakarma Department at SLN Ayurvedic College, Amritsar. Rooted in traditional Ayurvedic lineages, he is known for his pulse diagnosis (nadi pariksha), leech therapy and panchakarma treatments, which have benefited patients across India and abroad.
How your consultation works
- Before any Ayurvedic treatment begins, you receive a personal consultation with the doctor to assess your constitution (dosha) and health needs.
- When the doctor is available on-site, your consultation happens in person. If he is not on-site during your stay, your consultation is held online before your treatment starts — no treatment is given without it.
- Therapies are then personalised to your body and comfort level, and our team checks in with you throughout your program.
Health note: Our retreats and therapies are intended to support general well-being. They are not a substitute for professional medical diagnosis or treatment. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant, or take regular medication, please consult your physician before booking and share your health details with our team in advance.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the de-stress yoga retreat cost?
The 10-day retreat with a private room is $850 — including your stay, all meals, every yoga, meditation and Yoga Nidra session, and one complimentary Ayurvedic massage. Shorter or longer stays are quoted personally: send us your dates and you'll have your quote within 24 hours.
What is the duration of your de-stress program?
The full program is 10 days — long enough for your nervous system to genuinely reset. But every retreat is customisable: you can start on any day of the month, all year round, and we can arrange shorter or longer stays around your schedule.
Is your de-stress program suitable for everyone?
Yes, our de-stress program in Rishikesh is suitable for everyone who wants to let go of stress triggers and learn the art of living a calm, peaceful life. No prior yoga experience is required.
How is this different from your regular yoga retreat?
The de-stress retreat is built specifically around calming the nervous system: daily Yoga Nidra, longer meditation sits and unhurried Hatha practice, with philosophy sessions focused on how yogic wisdom answers modern stress. Our regular yoga retreat is broader and more practice-oriented — if you're arriving burnt out, this is the one we'd recommend.
