Think India and Yoga is the first obsession that comes to one’s mind. As the birthplace of yoga, India has wowed millions of tourists across the globe: from adventure-seeking backpackers, stressed-out souls looking for some peace and tranquillity to fitness-conscious youngsters.
Where does one find the Best Yoga Retreats in India? Oh, the choices are many. Yoga retreats can be found all over India, but the best places to immerse yourself in this rejuvenating practice are not too hard to guess:
Rishikesh: It is the yoga capital of the world, where the International Yoga Festival 2020 has just ended. Ganga Aarti held every evening around sunset at the riverside temple of the Parmarth Niketan Ashram amidst chanting and lighting of candles, Lakshman Jhula hanging bridge, abundant yoga teacher training programs, yoga retreats and foreign visitors are the main attraction points of this divine place situated on the banks of the holy Ganga river. In Rishikesh, it is slightly wintry in the early and late hours of the day, but the culture and hospitality of this spiritual place will never disappoint you.
Goa: A popular beach holiday destination, Goa is where you can enjoy the bright shining sun and sand, say ‘Aum’ (the highest sacred sound/symbol in Hinduism), do kriyas (nostril cleansing techniques), detox your body to all-round fitness, and celebrate one-of-a-kind nightlife. Goa, in short, is irresistible!
Kerala: God’s own country, Kerala has much more than beautiful backwaters, coconuts, spices, wildlife, and Ayurveda – it has some of the Best Yoga Retreats in India, and ashrams for yoga seekers and practitioners who are keen to upgrade their learning level.
Dharamshala: When you go to Kangra valley in northern India’s Himachal Pradesh, there is yoga for everyone – travellers to spiritual seekers. Located in the foothills of Himalayas, the beautiful surroundings and Buddhist culture at Dharamshala fills you with devotion, bliss, and yoga-learning too.
So, which of these yoga learning destinations you plan to include in your travel itinerary this year (or have you been there and loved it)? Share your moments with us. Ciao!
