Settle into a transformative week at Rishikesh Yog Nirvana in Tapovan, where the sacred Ganges flows beside the ashram and the Himalayan foothills frame every sunrise. This 7-day yoga and detox retreat is designed to help you release tension, refresh your system, and reconnect with your natural energy through daily Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa, pranayama, Yoga Nidra, meditation, body cleanse protocols, and two full Ayurvedic massages. It is an ideal choice for anyone feeling drained, stressed, or simply ready for a meaningful time away.
Practising yoga within a structured detox programme can create powerful support for both body and mind. Over seven days, and in the right environment, this retreat is designed to strengthen immunity, increase energy, support mental balance, assist with weight management, reduce the effects of stress, and encourage healthier long-term habits. This is a focused programme with a clear purpose, not a standard wellness holiday.
The Tapovan ashram at Rishikesh Yog Nirvana offers an atmosphere of genuine restoration. With the Ganges nearby, mountain views all around, clean air, and no digital distractions, the setting supports deep renewal in a way that is hard to replicate at home. Each morning begins with a detox drink and yoga practice as the sun rises over the river. Two Ayurvedic massages are included during the week to help release stored tension, while evenings bring sound healing, Yoga Nidra, and the peaceful ritual of Ganga Aarti.
This 7-day retreat offers a balanced middle ground between a short escape and a longer immersion. It gives you enough time to feel a real shift while still fitting into a working week or annual leave. Many guests arrive tired and leave feeling renewed.
Whether you are completely new to yoga or already practise regularly, the teachers adapt each session to your level. No flexibility or prior experience is needed — only the willingness to begin.
Seven days of yoga, body cleanse practices, Ayurvedic massage, and sattvic living can create noticeable changes in how you feel day to day. Guests often report the following benefits:
Daily pranayama, detox drinks, body cleanse protocols, and sattvic nutrition work together to support immune function and reduce the inflammatory effects of modern routines.
Regular sleep, morning yoga, and a lighter diet help restore natural energy patterns. Many guests feel a clear lift in energy by day three or four.
Yoga Nidra, meditation, and sound healing help calm the nervous system, lower anxiety, and create space for clarity and steadiness.
Ashtanga Vinyasa, a balanced sattvic diet, daily detox drinks, and improved digestion support healthy weight management without extremes.
Ayurvedic massage, pranayama, and time away from digital noise help ease accumulated stress, improve sleep, and support nervous system recovery.
The structure of the week encourages new habits around rest, discipline, and mindful living that guests can continue after they return home.
Each day follows a steady rhythm that blends active practice, healing treatments, sightseeing, and quiet reflection.
