Program

Ayurveda is an ancient Indian medical practice with a holistic and individualized approach to wellness. In Sanskrit, “Ayurveda” is a combination of “ayur,” meaning “life,” and “veda,” meaning “science” or “knowledge.” So, Ayurveda translates to “the science of life.”

The effectiveness of Ayurveda is well-known in today’s world. Ayurveda has the power to treat and heal all kinds of bodily problems by getting to the root cause of the symptoms, whether that is internal (mind, body, and spirit) or external (environmental factors). Ayurveda advocates a way of life that is in complete harmony with nature.

This retreat's focus is on relaxation and detoxification with the help of yoga and Ayurveda, which teaches you a lot about one part of the Indian approach to health science. Yoga and Ayurveda are branches of the same tree of knowledge and said to be complementary to each other.

The routine ensures that yoga becomes a part of the daily schedule which after the detoxification and rejuvenation process instills stability and strength in a person.

This 7-day retreat at Veda Yogshala is ideal for those who are new to Ayurveda, as well as for those who have experienced Ayurveda before. The retreat is designed to relax and vitalize the body and you will be fully immersed in the timeless wisdom and healing nature of Ayurveda.

The yoga practice will further sharpen concentration and improves health. Allow yourself to reflect and heal your emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual health, and awaken to a greater sense of your true Self.

What happens on this retreat

Veda Yogshala's main studio, the kitchen / dining area and Veda Spa are located in one building on Laxman Jhula Road. All sessions and treatments will be held on these premises.

When you arrive, the expert team members will talk you through the daily activities and aim to better understand your individual needs and goals.

What is pranayama?

Although breathing is a natural process, incorrect and irregular breathing is caused when there are various disturbances in the body. The practice of pranayama involves various breathing exercises and techniques to rectify incorrect breathing and become more aware of how you breathe.

At Veda Yogshala, the experienced teachers will teach how to control the timing, duration, and frequency of every breath.

Regular practice has enormous benefits, such as:

  • Calming a restless mind
  • Decreases stress (a 2013 study has shown that pranayama reduces stress levels in healthy adults)
  • Increases mindfulness
  • Improves the quality of sleep
  • Reduces high blood pressure meditation

Meditation

Meditation is a technique used for thousands of years to develop an awareness of the present moment. In the Indian culture, meditation is used to help people develop a state of inner calm and tranquility as well as a deeper awareness of the world around them.

The practice of meditation involves intentionally slowing down and focusing on the mind, with the aim of achieving balance and peace. You sit still, breathe, and use your breath to slow down and calm an active mind, which helps to relieve tension and anxiety.

At Veda Yogshala, expert teachers take a gentle approach to show how to meditate for newcomers and discover the different techniques for the more experienced practitioners. They also occasionally offer sound baths and sound healing. Ask them for more information.

What makes them unique?

Veda Yogshala is a team of family members, natives of Rishikesh, and steeped in the tradition and culture of yogic life. This is their lifestyle and they faithfully follow and practice what they teach.

The team is dedicated to passing on and sharing the ancient wisdom and philosophy of yogic traditions and Ayurveda. They ensure that they provide the means for students to experience this lifestyle and further enhance their own lives.
