Food &Accommodation
Clean, peaceful rooms and freshly prepared sattvic vegetarian meals — everything you need to rest, nourish and grow during your stay in Rishikesh.
Yogic Food at Siddhant School of Yoga
Food is very essential for your body, and you need a healthy body for your yoga practice. Your body is the outer part of your mind, and your mind is affected by your body, directly or indirectly.
By understanding this principle of body, mind and food, Siddhant School of Yoga prepares wholesome, healthy meals to nourish your physical body throughout your training. We serve genuinely tasty food in our dining hall — so tasty that a few practitioners tend to overeat and end up with stomach aches and indigestion.
Morning Herbal Tea
A warm herbal tea to gently wake the body before the first class.
Breakfast
Fresh fruits, porridge, oats, muesli, sprouts and herbal tonics.
Lunch
Rice, dal, seasonal vegetables, salad, chapati and buttermilk.

Yoga does not classify food by protein, carbs or fat — it looks at the effect food has on the body and mind, dividing it into three kinds.
Sattvic Food
Sattvic food is the kind that keeps you light, energetic and enthusiastic through the day. It is simple, fresh and mostly plant-based — fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, milk and herbal teas — prepared with care and eaten in the right quantity. In yogic understanding, sattvic food does more than fill the stomach; it calms the mind, sharpens awareness and supports meditation and pranayama. This is exactly the kind of food we serve every day at Siddhant School of Yoga, keeping your body light and mind clear.
Rajasic Food
Rajasic food is the kind that brings about activity, restlessness and constant craving. It includes food that is very spicy, very sour, very salty, fried, or heavily processed — the kind that excites the senses rather than nourishing the body. In yogic understanding, too much rajasic food agitates the mind, disturbs sleep and makes it harder to sit still in meditation or pranayama. A little occasionally does no harm, but relying on it daily works against the calm, steady awareness your practice is trying to build.
Tamasic Food
Tamasic food is the kind of food that makes you feel heavy, dull, lethargic and sluggish. It includes food that is stale, overcooked, reheated, or has been sitting for too long — food that has lost its natural life force and freshness. In yogic understanding, tamasic food clouds the mind, weighs down the body and makes both physical practice and clear thinking noticeably harder. This is why, at Siddhant School of Yoga, we avoid tamasic ingredients and keep every meal fresh, light and genuinely alive.
What You'll Eat, and When
Morning Herbal Tea
6:00 AMJust after waking up, your muscles and mind are not yet in action mode — they need something gentle to boost themselves, and that's where hot water or herbal tea helps. At Siddhant School of Yoga, morning tea is served at 6 AM: herbal tea, green tea without caffeine, or lemon-ginger tea with honey. We do not serve black coffee, black tea, or caffeinated green tea, keeping your first sip in line with a true sattvic, yogic morning.
Breakfast
8:30 – 9:00 AMA proper breakfast matters for every yoga practitioner, and since we serve a light dinner, breakfast here is generous. Expect sprouts and fresh seasonal fruit salad, brown bread with mango, guava or pineapple jam, and butter or peanut butter. Our daily-changing Indian spread includes paratha, poha, pancakes, upma, aloo puri, dalia, oats, cornflakes, stuffed bread and halwa chana, alongside mango, banana or papaya shakes. We stay genuinely conscious about your food — nourishing, varied and true to authentic yoga education.
Lunch
1:00 – 2:00 PMLunch is served between 1 PM and 2 PM, with rice, a variety of dal, green mixed boiled vegetables, curry and green mix curry, yogurt, papad, Indian pickle and green salad, chapati, matar mushroom, matar paneer and more — depending on weather and seasonal availability. Once a week, we also serve a traditional Indian sweet as a treat. Every dish is prepared fresh, balancing taste and nutrition so you leave the table satisfied but never heavy for your afternoon practice.
Evening Tea
3:30 – 4:30 PMEvening tea is served between 3:30 and 4:30 PM — herbal tea, lemon-ginger tea or honey tea, and occasionally milk tea when available, though it isn't compulsory since it can sometimes upset digestion. Black coffee isn't part of our official offering either, as it isn't the healthiest habit for a yoga practitioner; if you truly want it, you're welcome to arrange your own. This light pause between afternoon sessions keeps you gently refreshed without disturbing your evening practice or digestion before dinner.
Dinner
7:30 PMDinner here is kept simple and easy to digest. A fresh soup — corn, beetroot, pumpkin-tomato, mushroom, mixed vegetable, or hot and sour — is always served just before the meal, followed by rice, dal, chapati and curry. We skip pickle, papad, curd and salad at dinner, since Indian weather, yoga and Ayurveda all agree they don't suit an evening meal. The result is food that's genuinely healthy, tasty and nutritious, letting your body rest and digest well through the night.
