The Space to Go Deep
Affordable Yoga Retreats in Rishikesh, India
Our yoga retreat in Rishikesh, India, offers you something precious: permission — to pause, to breathe, and to remember who you are.
At your retreat, you become part of something beautiful — a community of kindred hearts who gather not just to practice yoga, but to grow and embrace the journey of being human together. We stretch and strengthen our bodies, laugh until our bellies ache, share stories under the stars and support each other through breakthroughs.
3 & 5-Day Short Escapes: Short on time but long overdue for rest? A long weekend or a five-day pause is enough to slow your breath, sleep deeply and return home lighter — the perfect first taste of retreat life in Rishikesh.
7-Day Restoration Retreat: Step away from the noise and gift yourself a full week of pure rejuvenation — enough time for the practices to settle in and a genuine reset to take hold.
14-Day Renewal Retreat: Two weeks to truly reset and focus on your physical, mental and spiritual growth. This retreat goes beyond relaxation and helps you build habits you can carry home.
21-Day Awakening Retreat: The deepest journey we offer — a three-week immersion that reshapes how you live, move and think.
And because every journey is different, every retreat can be customised — any number of days, shaped around your goals and your schedule. Throughout your stay, experienced teachers guide you through yoga sessions, guided meditation and pranayama (breathwork), each one planned to help you release stress and restore balance — alongside relaxing Ayurvedic therapies and cultural experiences.

Where This Course Takes You
What You'll Take Home
A retreat ends; what it gives you doesn't. By the time you leave, you will carry with you:
- A simple daily practice — asana, breathwork and meditation — sized to fit your real life back home, not just retreat life.
- A pranayama toolkit you can reach for whenever stress rises: techniques that calm the nervous system in minutes.
- Mindful eating habits and a felt understanding of how food shapes your energy and mood.
- A genuinely rested body and a quieter mind — most guests tell us they sleep better here than they have in years.
- Clarity: unhurried time to reflect, set meaningful intentions and decide what you want your life to feel like.

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 a yoga retreat in Rishikesh cost?
Our 7-day retreat with a private room is $499 for international guests and ₹45,000 for Indian guests — including your stay, all meals, all sessions, excursions and one complimentary massage. Because every retreat is customised, 3, 5, 14 and 21-day stays are quoted personally: send us your dates and goals, and you'll have your quote within 24 hours.
Which retreat length should I choose — 3, 5, 7, 14 or 21 days?
If it's your first retreat or your leave is short, 3-5 days is a beautiful taste — enough to rest deeply and learn the basics. Seven days is our most popular choice: the practices settle in and a real reset takes hold. Choose 14 days if you want to build lasting habits, and 21 days for the deepest transformation. And if none of these fit, we'll design a custom length around your dates.
Can I really start on any date?
Yes — retreats are fully customisable, so you can begin on any day of the month, all year round. This flexibility means you plan your retreat around your life, not the other way around.
Is accommodation included?
Yes — every retreat guest stays in a comfortable private room. We don't offer shared or dormitory rooms on our retreats, so your quiet space is guaranteed.
