Monsoon Sadhana Sessions

Hatha Yoga & Swadhyaya Residential Retreats, are (mostly) self guided residential immersion programs, during our quiet and rainy off-season.

Come stay with us and do your sadhana along the bank of the Ganga, in the foothills of the Himalayas in between Rishikesh and Haridwar in Uttarakhand, India

Our Monsoon Sadhana Sessions: Hatha Yoga & Swadhyaya Residential Retreats are a great way to deepen your study and practice of Asana, Pranayama & Meditation, while enjoying the quiet of the less crowded rainy season.

All will benefit from living a spiritual life within a residential ashram environment, whether you are a beginner or have your own dedicated practice.

Following the suggested daily routine (below), or creating your own, we will encourage you to develop the self disciple it takes to live a true yogic lifestyle.

If you are unsure where to start with your practice, you may request a class session led by Mandakini Puri to learn the basics of Asana, Pranayama & Meditation. Mandakini’s hatha yoga classes are adjusted to the abilities of the participants.

Karma Yoga is an essential part of your sadhana journey.

Contributing to the maintenance of the ashram through seva – the spiritual practice of selfless service without an expectation of recognition or reward. In the rainy off-season, with less guests than usual, its often difficult to keep up the general ashram maintenance. Tasks could include food preparation, gardening and cleaning our communal spaces.
