"Yoga and Meditation Retreat is all about Yoga and Life Style."

— Siddhant Ji, Founder

Step away from the noise of modern life and immerse yourself in a deeply nourishing 5-day Meditation and Pranayama Retreat in Rishikesh — the spiritual heartland of India, nestled beneath the Himalayas on the banks of the holy Ganga.

Carefully designed for international travellers, you'll explore authentic Pranayama techniques, diverse meditation traditions, Hatha Yoga, mantra chanting, and Yogic philosophy — guided by experienced teachers in a warm ashram environment.

This retreat is right for you if:

  • You feel disconnected and seek inner clarity
  • Your daily routine lacks focus, discipline, or joy
  • You want to deepen an existing yoga or meditation practice
  • You're seeking a meaningful experience in India beyond sightseeing
  • You wish to reset your nervous system and breathe freely again

Voices from Past Retreats

★★★★★

I came to Rishikesh with a burnt-out mind and left with something I can only describe as inner peace. The teaching here is genuine — not touristy. Siddhant Ji has a gift for making ancient wisdom accessible and deeply personal.

I stumbled across Siddhant School of Yoga while one second from booking somewhere else — zero regrets. I felt at home from day one. The staff are truly passionate about teaching and you sense it immediately. Now I have an Indian family in Rishikesh!

★★★★★

The pranayama sessions alone were worth the journey. I've practised yoga for years but had never truly understood breathing until this retreat. The schedule is full but never overwhelming — beautifully balanced between effort and rest.
