Through asanas, pranayama and meditation you will cultivate a sense of calm and inner peace — and with a personal Ayurvedic consultation at the start of your stay, our doctor recommends the traditional anti-aging therapies best suited to your body, from Nasyam to Swedana steam baths, added to your retreat only as you need them.
Nestled in the serene surroundings of Rishikesh, our healthy aging retreat offers a tranquil and supportive environment where you can fully immerse yourself at your own pace. The 7-day program starts on any day of the month, and any length can be customised. Whether you are a seasoned yogi or a complete beginner, old or young, this retreat is the perfect opportunity to take a break from the stresses of daily life and focus on your well-being.
Come join us and experience the transformative power of yoga!
The daily schedule of our healthy aging retreat in Rishikesh is designed to provide a comprehensive and holistic approach to aging well. Each day is carefully planned to promote relaxation, rejuvenation and a sense of inner radiance — with an unhurried pace and plenty of rest built in.
Note: Please note – The schedule may vary slightly depending on the time of the year, group needs or weather conditions. Your late-morning window is reserved for the therapies our doctor recommends in your personal plan — or simply for rest on treatment-free days.
As part of the Healthy Aging Retreat, your stay begins with a consultation with our Ayurvedic doctor, who assesses your individual needs and body constitution (Dosha) and recommends the therapies best suited to you — added to your retreat only as your body needs them. Some of the anti-aging therapies offered include:
A traditional Ayurvedic nasal cleansing therapy that helps improve mental clarity, supports respiratory health, and promotes healthy aging.
A relaxing therapy that improves blood circulation, relieves stress, and nourishes the scalp and nervous system.
An Ayurvedic ear therapy involving the application of medicated oils to support ear health, calm the nervous system, and promote relaxation.
A natural facial treatment using herbal ingredients and therapeutic massage techniques to nourish the skin, improve circulation, and support a healthy, radiant appearance.
A traditional Ayurvedic heat therapy practised to encourage sweating, ease muscle stiffness and leave the body feeling light and refreshed. Steam therapy is also valued in Ayurveda for supporting skin health, relaxation and overall vitality, making it a cherished part of healthy-aging traditions.
Please note: Ayurvedic therapies are prescribed individually after consultation and charged separately, so you only pay for the treatments your body actually needs. One complimentary full-body massage is included with every retreat.
Healthy aging is a daily practice, not a week away — and your retreat is designed to follow you home:
Keep the gentle morning routine alive — flexibility and balance respond to little-and-often far more than to occasional effort.
Follow your doctor's plan at home: the dietary and routine guidance works anywhere in the world.
Many guests return each year as a standing appointment with their own well-being — often for a longer stay.
Continue the quiet path with our de-stress retreat or meditation training whenever you're ready to go deeper.
Your teachers remain with you long after the final class.
The curriculum of our Healthy Aging Retreat in Rishikesh is designed to help you age gracefully, improve flexibility, enhance overall well-being and promote mental clarity. Here is what your days will actually look like.
Pranayama & Gentle Hatha Yoga — each morning begins with breathwork and an unhurried yoga practice designed to improve flexibility, strength and balance, specifically targeting areas of the body that become stiff and restricted with age.
Personalised Ayurvedic Care — your stay begins with a consultation with our Ayurvedic doctor, who builds your personal plan and recommends traditional anti-aging therapies suited to your constitution. One full-body massage is included; further treatments are added only as you need them.
Restorative & Yin Practice — gentle late-afternoon sessions drawing on Restorative yoga, Yin yoga and Yoga Nidra — the styles most beneficial for releasing tension, calming the mind and supporting deep rest.
Evening Meditation — a dedicated sit each evening to reduce stress, settle the mind and bring the day to a calm, restorative close.
Free Time & Rest — quiet afternoon time built into each day for the body and mind to integrate, recover and simply be.
Sattvic Meals — a nutritious vegetarian breakfast and two wholesome meals served daily, prepared to nourish the body and support the retreat's focus on healthy ageing from the inside out.
“Attending our healthy aging yoga retreat provides numerous benefits to support your overall health, help you age gracefully and enhance your quality of life.”
As we age, our joints and muscles become stiffer, making it harder to move freely. Our retreat helps increase flexibility, making it easier to perform daily activities and reducing the risk of injury.
Aging can affect our balance, making us more prone to falls and injuries. Our retreat practices improve balance and coordination, reducing the risk of falls and improving overall stability.
Stress can have a negative impact on health and can even accelerate the aging process. Our retreat helps you reduce stress levels, leading to better mental and emotional health.
As we age, sleep patterns can become disrupted, leading to a range of health issues. By attending our retreat, you can improve sleep quality and feel more rested and rejuvenated.
Meditation, breathwork and gentle movement are widely associated with better concentration, memory and mental clarity — and most guests notice how much clearer their thinking feels after a week of deep rest and practice.
Our healthy aging retreat combines gentle movement, breathwork and rest — practices widely associated with better circulation, lower stress levels and a stronger sense of overall well-being, all of which support healthy living as you age.
At Pure Soul Yoga School, we believe that healing and transformation unfold in a nurturing environment. Every guest stays in a comfortable, spacious private room, and our campus features a beautiful yoga hall, an Ayurvedic massage room and a rooftop terrace with stunning mountain views. We know many international guests worry about food and water in India: all meals are fresh, sattvic and vegetarian, prepared in a hygienic kitchen, filtered drinking water is available around the clock, and our cooks keep the spices gentle for sensitive stomachs.

No — and this is the question we hear most often. There is no upper age limit: every practice is gentle, chair and prop support is always available, and our teachers adapt each posture to your body. Your stay also begins with an Ayurvedic consultation, so your program is built around your health, not a standard template. If you can breathe, you can do this retreat.

One full-body Ayurvedic massage is included, along with your initial consultation with our doctor. Further anti-aging therapies — Nasyam, Swedana steam baths, herbal facials and more — are prescribed individually after your consultation and charged separately, so you only pay for the treatments your body actually needs.
