Chakras Yoga Retreat in Rishikesh - Rishikesh Yogkulam®

One Destination, Many Paths, One Journey

Chakras Yoga Retreat in Rishikesh - Rishikesh Yogkulam®

Have you ever woken up in the morning with a feeling of not being grounded, of being somewhere you don’t belong, feeling restless with constant worries and frustration? Do you look at the future with anxiety and at the past with regret? These feelings arise from the need to be efficient and functional machines even at the cost of our mental and physical health! Fear, guilt, shame, grief, lies, illusion, attachment: these are the demons of our souls. We need to eradicate them to be balanced, centered and present in our bodies; receptive and aware of our nature.

This 7 day retreat is a journey through the chakras to restore the balance in our systems, to learn how to deal with the negative feelings, to increase awareness of the body and release the blockages. Together, we will work on building a firm and steady resolve. Just like a sequoia needs a strong and deep ground, we will work on your foundations, making your roots steady and strong.

This 7 days chakra retreat has been specially designed to give you the space and time to discover yourself and your nature in a unique dimension. It helps you to become aware and effectively use the tools to heal yourself.

On this inner journey of self discovery, we help you access your healing powers, giving you techniques that you can take back and integrate into your daily life. Each day, we focus on one chakra, working on how to unblock and then strengthen it. We work on enhancing the energy flow through the chakra system and learn about the benefits of each chakra and its role in our life. A part of this retreat is centered around Satsang, group discussions and journaling. This helps to reinforce the topic that you will be studying that day, allowing you to better work on each point individually and with the help of a group. Being a chakra retreat, all the activities are also centered around the chakra system. As such; the asana sessions, breathing techniques, mantras, Satsang and meditations will follow a specific daily program according to the specific chakra of that day.

Understanding Chakras & Their Functioning

When an individual is surrounded by negative energies, then he/she becomes depressed and is unable to take the next step in life. But when an individual is surrounded by positive energy from all sides, then he/she follows his favourable directions. It happens when the 7 chakras of the body are in the proper direction and completely balanced.  A total of 114 chakras are present in our body, but mainly 7 chakras have been given prominence, namely Muladhara Chakra, Sahastrara Chakra, Ajna Chakra, Anahata Chakra, Manipura Chakra, Vishuddhi Chakra, and Svadhishthana Chakra. Before awakening any chakra, it is necessary to meditate. It becomes all the more important that you need a peaceful environment to meditate. In this, sitting in a meditative posture in a quiet place, focus on your breath. Doing this helps in awakening the chakras. However, let us also tell you that if you have awakened all these 7 chakras, then it is also very important to keep it under control.

Chakras are the centers of energy present in the human body. They are located along the spine, from the crown to its base. They perform various functions, from regulating the processes of the body to strengthening the immune system. If one or more chakras are blocked or imbalanced, then you face physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual instability.

Chakras Yoga Retreat In Rishikesh

Muladhara chakra is the root chakra. It is located between the anus and the genitals. According to Yoga Shastra, it is told that if we focus on this point, it gives us valor and bliss. It has also been told that if Muladhara Chakra is not active, then due to this the person often suffers from serious problems like constipation, diarrhea, piles, colitis, and high blood pressure. This chakra is also responsible for connecting the three qualities of an individual, i.e., Rajas, Sattva, and Tamas. It connects the body to the soul.

Chakras Yoga Retreat In Rishikesh

Svadhishthana Chakra is located just above the genitals or Muladhara Chakra. It is a kundalini chakra, also known as the Sacral Chakra. This chakra is related to the water element present in our body. When this chakra is awakened, all kinds of bad qualities like physical problems and disorders, cruelty, laziness, and disbelief are destroyed. Not only this but any kind of disorder in the body is caused due to improper water elements and so that is also replenished with the activation of the Sacral Chakra. Moreover, when it is awakened then one can have control over one's sexual desires.

Manipura Chakra is present just above the navel. It is the third Kundalini Chakra, also known as the Solar Plexus Chakra. When this chakra gets awakened, then negative qualities like jealousy, fear etc. in our body remain inactive. It is said that if all the energy generated through yogic activities is collected in this chakra, then by doing so you can become a Karma Yogi. It controls the physical and physiological well-being of an individual.

The Anahata Chakra is located in the heart of a human being and is also known as the Heart Chakra. It is said that the person who succeeds in awakening it destroys things like hypocrisy, worry, attachment and ego from his life. One experiences enthusiastic feelings like happiness and peace when this chakra gets awakened. You will experience the ultimate bliss and get rid of unnecessary sadness.

Chakras Yoga Retreat In Rishikesh

Vishuddhi Chakra is present in our throat (in the cervical plexus) and its awakening is related to communication, self-expression etc. Along with this, our speech becomes pure, that is why Vishuddhi Chakra is also known as the chakra of purity. A practitioner will get a melodious voice, great singing abilities, and sweetness in voice when this chakra gets activated. One can awaken visuddhi chakra by mantra chanting and concentrating on listening to devotional music. It is also known as the Throat Chakra.

Chakras Yoga Retreat In Rishikesh

This chakra is located between the two eyebrows of our body, the point where there is the Third Eye. So, it is also known as the Third Eye Chakra. Awakening this chakra gives intuition, imagination and the ability to deal with situations. You can also understand that by its awakening, a person gets self-knowledge. The chakra is also known as the powerhouse.

Chakras Yoga Retreat In Rishikesh

This chakra is said to be located in the center of the brain, in the middle of the skull. This is the highest level of Kundalini Chakra, present at the crown of the spinal cord and so is also known as the Crown Chakra. Sahastrara chakra is believed to be related to inner and outer beauty and has a connection with spirituality. Although, there are many problems in awakening this chakra, but after its awakening, ultimate bliss is attained. It is picturised as a blooming lotus with several petals.

Yogkulam truly is a yoga family. Very quickly we became like a family, sharing thoughts, ideas, dreams and cultural exchange. It was such a humbling experience, the teachers were great, overall the course syllabus is very complete. I learned so much about the lifelong journey that yoga represents. It was challenging everyday but there Is nothing that I regret coming to yogkulam. The food everyday was so delicious and nutritious, Sunil really took care of us. It was such a fresh and fun training because the teachers are young and very knowledgeable. Special thanks to Amitji and Jituji, our asana and theory teachers, and my dear friends!

I recently completed my 200 hour online teacher training with Rishikesh yogkulam and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to undertake a teacher training course. Don't look any further! The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable, and are always available to answer any question. I loved the holistic approach to the curriculum with Hatha Asana, Ayurveda, Philosophy, Pranayama, and Meditation training. This holistic approach to teacher training helped me develop a wider perspective and learn how each is interconnected. Thank you Rishikesh yogkulam :)

What a phenomenal month-long journey to the self with these guys! Rishikesh Yogkulam went above and beyond my expectations for a TTC. All of the teachers are very relatable and extremely passionate and knowledgeable about their craft. Going into the experience, I wanted to be able to take away as much information as I could to pass along to my future yoga students. This program really prepares you with all the tools you need and gives you the confidence you need to be an amazing yoga teacher. Thank you for sharing your culture and love of yoga with me. Rishikesh Yogkulam is an unforgettable experience. Thank you.

Wow!!! Having completed many courses in my life I left Yogkulam feeling inspired and wanting to learn more. The passion of ancient yogic knowledge oozes from the teachers who with love, respect and dignity hold true to what they believe and what they have been taught. They looked after my inflexible body and on my journey have knowingly or unknowingly taught me to respect and expand on the limitations which I have put on myself throughout my life. The 200Hr TTC is well thought out with great teachings on all levels of the Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual aspects of life. Be inspired, feel whole and let go. We create our own walls so when you are ready free yourself. There’s only one place I can recommend in Rishikesh to study yoga and that is Yogkulam. Join the family.

If you do care more for the content than the famous name, then go for this school. Led by experienced teachers Dee and Amit in a professional way, yet very friendly atmosphere. I felt at home from the very first moment. We were a small group and thanks to it received all the attention from our teachers and got answers to all our questions. Many new inputs and inspiration for yoga practice. Premises are beautiful and the food is delicious prepared by the smiling chef :). Thank you for the unforgettable and beautiful experience!

I will highly recommend this school, with an extremely professional team of teachers. Because it's a small structure you will benefit from the best attention which is a really important point to choose a school and to progress I think. I took my training course with Amit and I can affirm he is a very good teacher, extremely knowledgeable, and overachiever. Him and all the team will take you high in your practice, your knowledge and will give you the confidence to teach your turn. Rishikesh yogkulam is a good choice!

I followed my previous teacher Dee for my 300 hour yoga teacher training course to his new school which he runs with Amit, both exceptional teachers. My knowledge of asana and alignment has improved especially but all the classes were brilliant. The course is intense but well worth it. The food is delicious and cooked with love every single day. The rooms are light, bright, clean and spacious. The teachers took us on excursions around rishikesh on our day off, invited us to an Indian wedding and threw a lovely birthday celebration for one of the girls on the course. My group was small and we had a very special bond with each other by the end. Can’t thank the teachers enough. I highly recommend this school.

I did a lot of research for the perfect school and I am so glad I found it! The teachers are amazing, full of knowledge, willing to help you grow, always an ear for your questions, assistance if you have any problem or health issues, respect full and always in a good mood to share wonderful experiences and memories with you. I can't say enough thank you for all your kindness and knowledge I got from all the teachers of Rishikesh Yogkulam. I definitely will be back to keep studying with all of them. And a big hug to my colleagues there was one of a kind and so happy to have shared all this experience with them too. Definitely this school is the best you can find in Rishikesh. Dhanyawad

Dhi and Amit gurujis will teach you to be both flexible and strong at the same time. I am so grateful I was able to learn from the best. They have the knowledge and passion to train you to be a better yogi and improve your practice. I have so much respect for both, and am so excited to see that they have teamed up to start a school that will optimally train your body, mind and spirit to be “healthy and happy”. I would highly recommend it to any yogi to learn from Dhi and Amit. You will gain lifelong friends, not just teachers.

Guiding principles and the sacred thread of discipline


Hello and welcome to the Yoga Teacher Training! We're excited to embark on this new journey together, where we'll nurture your body, mind, and soul. Let's make this experience truly enjoyable to reap the maximum benefits.

General Information:

  • To enhance your yoga practice, we kindly request that you refrain from consuming drugs, smoking, and drinking alcohol during the training.
  • Sundays are your day to relax and rejuvenate! We won't have any lessons scheduled, and there won’t be any meals on Sunday so you can enjoy and explore the cafes around. Additionally, all our excursions will be organized on Sundays, and we'll share the plans with you one day in advance.
  • If you need laundry service, don't worry; we've got you covered! You can get your laundry done at a reasonable price of 20 INR per piece. Simply reach out to our reception for more details, and please remember to pay in cash when you collect your fresh laundry.
  • For your comfort and convenience, our school provides room cleaning service every week. We'll keep you informed about the schedule, so you can always have a tidy space to relax in.
  • To stay hydrated, we have filtered water available in the kitchen area, and there's a water dispenser offering hot, cold, and normal water.
  • During the course, we may capture pictures and videos of our school and students. Occasionally, our school photographer might be present during classes. If you prefer not to have your photos taken, please let the admin in charge know during the orientation program.
  • Let's be mindful of our energy consumption! Remember to turn off all electrical appliances, such as fans, lights, heaters, and geysers, when they are not in use.
  • Your well-being is essential to us. In case of any medical emergency, you can contact Himanshu, Anjali, Dheeru Ji, Jittu Ji, Pankaj Ji, or Prahlad ji at any time. Please note that medical expenses are not covered by the school.
  • We want you to have a focused and immersive experience, so we kindly ask that no friends, relatives, or outsiders stay with the participants, unless you've informed us beforehand and received permission.
  • If you won't be eating at the school, please let us know in advance (at least 3 hours before) to avoid food wastage. In case you tell us at last moment or do not inform us, INR 100 would be deducted per meal.
  • As you immerse yourself in the Indian experience, our food options align with the local cuisine. We offer a variety of nutritious meals, including legumes as a protein source for vegetarian diets (eggs are not considered veg in India), chapati and rice as carbohydrates, cooked and raw vegetables, and fruits during breakfast. If you prefer specific products, you can explore the organic store nearby. Your profound understanding and the warmth you bring infuse a unique essence into our shared journey. Together, let's nurture Kritajna (gratitude) for the nourishing meals that is provided to us.
  • While using cups or glasses, please be considerate and don't leave them on the stairs or roof.
  • It's essential to take care of your personal belongings. Keep them in a safe place and lock your room whenever you're outside. Also, don't forget to close your windows, as we wouldn't want any monkeys dropping in unexpectedly.
  • To ensure the upkeep of our facilities, a deposit of 1000 INR may be requested in case of any damage or loss to the school's property. Rest assured, if everything is in order on the check-out day, the deposit will be returned to you.
  • Our school gate closes at 10 pm for security purposes. Please make sure you're on the premises before that time. Please remember that arriving after the closing time will be considered a violation of our institution's code.

Class information:
  • It's important to attend all classes, as we require a minimum of 100% attendance to issue your certificate. However, we understand that sometimes illness can happen, and in such cases, please inform your teachers.
  • The attendance register is for our teachers to handle. We kindly ask that students not fill it out themselves.
  • During the teacher training, you'll experience hands-on adjustments. If you're ever uncomfortable with this approach, feel any pain, or simply prefer to learn differently, please speak up. Your comfort matters!
  • For a focused and tranquil atmosphere, we request that you don't bring any food or drinks (except water) inside the yoga hall.
  • Be mindful of the time and arrive at least five minutes before class starts. This way, we can begin on time and make the most of our sessions.
  • During classes, let's stay away from mobile phones for external communication or social media usage. We want to create a positive and focused environment for everyone.
  • Please avoid lying down or sitting on your books/manuals during classes, as it's considered disrespectful to the teachers and the Indian culture.
  • To receive your certificate, make sure to submit your assignments by the 21st, and your exam sessions will be held between the 19th and 23rd.
  • We're all one big family here, so let's treat each other with respect and kindness. This includes our staff, teachers, and fellow trainees.
  • Maintaining a yogic atmosphere is crucial. Let's steer clear of any verbal or physical harm towards others. Any inappropriate behavior, like breaking the code of discipline, stealing, damaging school property, discrimination, or sexual harassment, will not be tolerated and could result in being declined from the course.

Bear in mind that this is an intense teacher training program, demanding both physically and mentally and following these guidelines will help to create a positive and supportive environment for everyone. Let's cherish this unique experience together and make the most of it! If you have any questions or need any assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Happy learning and practicing!
