The 7 days Yoga Nidra Retreat at Rishikesh Spiritual Yoga in Rishikesh, India centre is held over a duration of 7 days and 6 nights. Our Yoga Nidra retreat explores the concept of Yoga Nidra with relaxation techniques introduced as an essential part of moving into Yoga Nidra practices. While Yoga Nidra is the highlight of the retreat, the curriculum also integrates yoga asana, pranayama and meditation practices on a daily basis to bring balance into the daily practice and to make way for the body and mind to be ready for relaxation and Yoga Nidra sessions. For asana practices, our school focus on Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga styles of asana.
Students will go through 6 days of training with 1 rest day per week. On this rest day, our school organizes a half-day excursion for students that may involve visits to one of the sacred sites in Rishikesh. The rest day usually falls on a Sunday, but may be shifted to a weekday to avoid tourists and traffic during high season in Rishikesh. The excursion would be a visit to either Vashishtha Cave, or Kunjapuri Temple. Excursion may shift to a different destination in specific circumstances. Excursion organized by school is inclusive in the course fee and the destination would be selected by school.
