Why a retreat

A genuine reset — not a holiday package.

Om Yoga International's retreats are residential immersions guided by the same experienced faculty who teach the full teacher training programmes. Every day follows a structured rhythm — morning pranayama, asana, meditation, sattvic meals, Ayurveda guidance and evening satsang. The schedule is not a spa timetable. It is a real introduction to how yoga is lived.

Both retreats are fully all-inclusive — accommodation, all meals, daily classes and personal Ayurveda consultation. No hidden extras. 7-day retreat from ₹30,000 (~$359 USD). 14-day immersion from ₹55,000 (~$649 USD).

Om Yoga International campus Tapovan Rishikesh
Why Om Yoga retreats

Three things no other Rishikesh retreat offers together.

Most Rishikesh retreats offer yoga classes and meals. Om Yoga International adds a clinical Ayurveda consultation, experienced E-RYT faculty and the same residential discipline as the full teacher training — in the same campus, by the same river.

  • Dr. Anu Antony (BAMS) — qualified Ayurvedic physician on the retreat faculty
  • Optional sound healing session using singing bowls and tuning forks (14-day)
  • Faculty from the full TTC — E-RYT 500 teachers, not substitute instructors
  • Can upgrade to a full TTC after the retreat — credits and familiarity apply
  • Small groups — never more than 12–15 participants at the campus
  • Founded in 2010 — 15+ years of residential yoga education in Rishikesh
Retreat to teacher training

Many retreat students continue to the full teacher training.

The retreat is often the right first step — experience the campus, the schedule and the teachers before committing to a 30-day immersion. Past retreat participants receive priority batch placement and a fee adjustment when they enrol for the 200-hour TTC.

Student voices

What past students say about the experience.

The teachers gave individual attention every day. I arrived for a certificate and left with a daily practice I can actually continue and share. The small batch made all the difference.

Anika R. Germany · 200 Hour Yoga TTC

The small batch size made the training personal and thorough. Alignment, pranayama and philosophy were explained with real patience. The daily schedule was demanding but every session felt purposeful.

Meera S. India · 200 Hour Yoga TTC

Rishikesh, the schedule and the teachers created a serious learning environment. The course felt disciplined and warm — exactly what an advanced training should feel like.

Retreat FAQ

Common questions answered.

Contact Admissions WhatsApp
Do I need yoga experience to join the retreat?

No. Both retreats welcome complete beginners and experienced practitioners. The daily schedule is structured around practice and restoration — not performance. Teachers adjust guidance to your level from day one.

What is the Ayurveda consultation?

Each retreat includes a one-to-one consultation with Dr. Anu Antony (BAMS — Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery). She assesses your constitution (dosha), lifestyle, diet and health concerns and provides personalised guidance. This is a clinical consultation, not a wellness chat.

Are the dates flexible?

Yes. Unlike the teacher training batches, retreat dates are flexible and arranged by agreement with admissions. Contact the team with your preferred travel month and they will confirm available dates and seat capacity.

What is included in the full fee?

Both retreats are fully all-inclusive: accommodation, all meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner), daily yoga and meditation classes, Ayurveda consultation, yoga mat, and excursions as listed. There are no hidden extras. The only additional costs are visa, flights and personal expenses.

Can I upgrade to the full teacher training after the retreat?

Yes. Many retreat students continue to the 200-hour TTC. Past retreat participants receive priority batch placement. Speak to admissions about the fee adjustment available to returning retreat students.

What is the difference between the 7-day and 14-day retreat?

The 7-day retreat is the foundation experience — daily yoga, pranayama, meditation, one Ayurveda consultation and the Ganges Aarti excursion. The 14-day immersion adds deeper philosophy sessions, a sound healing session, a second Ayurveda consultation and the Kunjapuri Temple sunrise excursion. Both are fully all-inclusive.
