FEEDBACKS

Love from our participants ❤

This was my first solo trip, but it never felt like one. Kailash Yoga Ashram gave me more than I had imagined. The Yoga and meditation sessions, satvik food, Ganga aarti, excursions, and the very spirit of Rishikesh, everything was so grounding.

What stood out most was the warmth and energy of the people here.
Heartfelt thanks to Rohith ji and Aadika ji; you made it feel like home, spiritually and emotionally. 🙏🏼 And a special thanks to Prianca ji for her kind support and presence.

Grateful for the peaceful energy, the kindness, the warmth, and the beautiful people, from different places and backgrounds, who felt surprisingly familiar and made it so easy to connect💛
A retreat to remember.

Ich habe an einem 5-tägigen Retreat für Yoga Anfänger teilgenommen und bin ganz beseelt… es war eine wundervolle Erfahrung, die mein Leben bereichert hat.

Für mich war es die perfekte Balance aus Entspannung, spiritueller Erneuerung und körperlicher Fitness.

Dank Rohit ist die Atmosphäre unglaublich friedlich und inspirierend, was es leicht macht, den Alltagsstress hinter sich zu lassen. Er ist kompetent, freundlich und aufmerksam auf die individuellen Bedürfnisse von uns eingegangen.

Die Yoga-Sitzungen waren abwechslungsreich und tiefgründig, sodass ich sowohl körperlich als auch geistig neue Energie tanken konnte. Besonders die Meditationen haben mir geholfen, inneren Frieden zu finden und meine Achtsamkeit zu schärfen. Neben Yoga und Meditationen haben wir immer wieder Exkursionen gemacht und die schöne Umgebung von Rishikesh kennen gelernt.

Rohit ist nicht nur ein Lehrer, sondern ein Freund.

Ich werde auf jeeeeeden Fall wieder nach Rishikesh kommen!

We booked a 7-day retreat with Kailash Yoga Ashram and liked it so much that we extended it to nearly 10 days.

During our retreat, we got introduced to Rohit ji and Aadika ji, who guided us in novel ways of Yoga that help to balance our mind and body through well-designed practice of Yoga, Meditation, and Introspection routines.

This being our first time in Rishikesh, Rohit ji was kind enough to accommodate most of our wishes within the program, providing us with a lifetime experience of Cave meditation, Ganga Aarti, Beach meditation, Temple, and Beach hikes. We loved the overall experience, and it was almost unbearable to leave on the final day. We have started planning our next trip again.

Rohit ji is highly aware and flexible for all types of yogis who visit and is more than forthcoming to help us create a meaningful impact in our lives through Yoga and its philosophy. He shared many stories from local/ cultural history, as well as his personal experiences, which also broadened our perspective.

We also met many like-minded yogis, which made the retreat even better as we shared stories and food with people from all over the world, across all ages.

We will cherish Rohit ji’s stories, wisdom, and friendship for days to come. 🙏

I had the opportunity to experience a seven-day retreat, which turned out to be a fantastic journey. Rohit ji and Aadika ji were thoughtful, welcoming, and warm. I had the best time learning from and connecting with everyone at the retreat.

The retreat itself was mindfully constructed and well conducted, considering each individual’s needs and experiences, moulding the perfect plans and schedules. From the meditations and asana practices to the excursions and dinner table talks, the experience was extremely valuable, insightful, and fun.

I felt very much at home throughout my stay and am looking forward to seeing them again for another enlightening and memorable experience shortly.

Spending 5 days at Kailash Yoga Ashram was nothing short of transformational. Tucked away in the peaceful heart of Rishikesh, this retreat offered exactly what I didn’t even know I needed: stillness, structure, and soulful connection.

From early morning Yoga and pranayama sessions to profound spiritual discourses and evening Ganga meditations, every day felt like a gentle reminder to return to myself. Rohit ji, the founder of Kailash Yoga Ashram, is a gem of a person. He didn’t just teach Yoga; he made sure we learned how to live this life, too.

The ashram’s simplicity created space for clarity. The sattvic food, the chants echoing through the walls, and the powerful energy of the space all made this retreat feel sacred.

If you’re seeking more than just physical flexibility, if you’re looking for mental calm, spiritual depth, and a genuine yogic lifestyle, this is the place. Truly grateful for this experience. Hari Aum 🙏 🕉️

Rohit, at Kailash Yoga Ashram, is a phenomenal and inspiring teacher I have ever known. I spent five days at the ashram, and I wish it had been so much more. My experience was beyond words; it was a beautiful week I can’t begin to describe. Rohit’s gentle and genuine guidance throughout exceeded all expectations. Truly an awe-inspiring man capable of creating such magic and connection. Everything, from the three delicious meals to the excursions in and around Rishikesh, which felt like time spent with old friends, the daily Yoga and meditation classes, and the wonderful chats, made my week. Everything about this ashram is beautiful, earnest, and exceptionally executed. Thank you so much for making my time here so spectacular. Can only wish to return one day.

I had a truly wonderful experience at Kailash Yoga Ashram. Choosing to celebrate my birthday by joining their Yoga retreat turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made. Rohit ji and Aneta ji are exceptional instructors, full of deep knowledge and wisdom in Yoga, spirituality, meditation, and the essence of Rishikesh itself.

This was my second time attending a Yoga retreat, and it provided the perfect escape from the busyness of daily life. I left feeling deeply relaxed and refreshed. The daily excursions added to the experience, from attending the serene Ganga Aarti and visiting sacred temples to hiking to beautiful waterfalls.

Each Yoga session was meaningful, rooted in the true philosophy and purpose of Yoga, far beyond just physical exercise.

I highly recommend that everyone experience their retreat. Thanks!!!

Our stay at Kailash Yoga Ashram was nothing short of transformative. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth, authenticity, and a deep sense of peace that runs through the very foundation of this place. Here’s a breakdown of our experience:

🧘‍♂️ Yoga & Meditation – ★★★★★

The Yoga sessions were incredibly personalised and mindful. Each class was thoughtfully guided, with clear instructions and an emphasis on both physical alignment and spiritual connection. The meditation sessions were beautifully led, allowing us to slow down, reflect, and connect truly.

🧂 Food & Diet – ★★★★★

The meals deserve special appreciation. We were served sattvic, wholesome vegetarian food – three times a day. Every meal felt nourishing—not just for the body, but also for the mind and spirit. Simple, home-style cooking made with love and care. We genuinely looked forward to each meal!

🌄 Ambience & Location – ★★★★☆

Located in Tapovan, the ashram is perfectly placed—close enough to explore Rishikesh yet peaceful enough to disconnect from the chaos. Sunset meditations near the Ganges, evening Aarti experiences, and spiritual surroundings made it an ideal location for inner work. The view of the surrounding hills added to the calm energy.

🧘‍♀️ Program & Structure – ★★★★★

We attended a 5-day retreat. The program was beautifully structured—offering the right balance of activity and stillness, discipline and flexibility. Along with Yoga and meditation, we took part in mantra chanting, sound healing, and local excursions. Every element of the retreat had an intention behind it.

🤝 Community & Hospitality – ★★★★★

What truly makes Kailash Yoga Ashram special is the heartfelt community it builds. The instructors, staff, and fellow participants felt like family by the end of our stay. We felt supported, heard, and completely safe—especially important for solo travelers or women. There was a genuine sense of connection and warmth in every interaction.

💰 Value for Money – ★★★★☆

For everything included—accommodation, meals, teachings, and experiences—the retreat was priced very reasonably. It’s rare to find such high-quality, soul-nourishing offerings at such a fair rate.

💬 Final Words

If you are seeking an experience that goes beyond just Yoga and meditation—a space where you can heal, grow, reflect, and reconnect with yourself – Kailash Yoga Ashram is the perfect place. This retreat helped us slow down, re-center, and return with a greater sense of purpose and inner peace.

I attended this Yoga retreat with a heart full of hope, and I left with a soul overflowing with gratitude. What unfolded over just one week was nothing short of life-changing. Rohit ji and Aneta ji made this experience feel like home in the truest sense. For someone like me, who often feels homesick, it was surprising, even healing, to feel so rooted and cared for in such a short period. I didn’t want to leave. And even now, all I want is to go back.

Every moment was thoughtfully curated. The Yoga and meditation sessions weren’t just scheduled activities; they were deeply personal, tailored to each participant’s pace, energy, and emotional space. You could feel the intention behind every class, every chant, every breath.

The excursions took us off the beaten path, places most tourists would never even know existed. Each location was more stunning than the last. Whether it was a hidden waterfall, a quiet forest trail, or a sunrise that made time stand still, every outing felt like a secret gift from nature itself.

But what truly made this retreat unforgettable was the human connection. Rohit ji and Aneta ji weren’t just teachers or guides; they became family. Their warmth, sincerity, and gentle presence turned strangers into a tribe.

This wasn’t just a retreat. It was the best experience of my life. A return to self, a reminder of beauty, and the beginning of lifelong bonds. I came seeking calm, but I also found clarity, connection, and two souls I now call family.

Everyone deserves to feel what I felt here, and I hope one day you do, too!

Words cannot describe how incredible my experience was with Kailash. It was truly transformational.

First and foremost, Anita and Rohit (your Gurus!) are truly a blessing. They make every moment feel welcoming for everyone (we were a group of several solo female travelers at different stages of our Yoga/meditation practices) and truly connect you to the culture and customs of Rishikesh, India, and Yoga. The program struck a perfect balance between being organized and customizable. Anita and Rohit ensured there was ample time for you to do everything you desired in your free time, making the most of Rishikesh. They helped organize everything (Massage, Reiki, sound healing, tarot, rafting, hiking, anything!).

The food and accommodation are top-tier.

Thank you, Kailash! I will be back very soon.

A life-changing experience.

This retreat was a wholesome blend of everything I needed: movement, stillness, learning, laughter, and connection.

What made it truly special was the presence of Rohit ji, our Guruji, with immense knowledge and the ability to share it with his “stories”, in places you’d least expect them. Every word he shared stayed with us long after the sessions ended.

Equally heartwarming was Aneta ji, whose warmth and care made the entire journey feel seamless. Always asking how we were doing, we weren’t just participants; it felt like a family.

The days were beautifully balanced:

• Asanas and meditations.
• Spiritual practices like Ganga Aarti and mantra chanting serve a purpose.
• Excursions to reconnect with nature.
• Learning with fellow participants left me inspired

This retreat shifted the way I look at myself and the world around me. Thank you for teaching me to live more intentionally.

I’m carrying this love with me… and I know I’ll be coming back every 6 months.

Forever grateful.

Kailash Yoga Ashram was a genuinely life-changing experience for me. Rohit ji is a very calm and understanding guru and guides you very nicely through your journey. During the 3-day retreat, we enjoyed a variety of activities, including multiple Yoga sessions, beach meditations, spiritual tours, sound healing, Ganga aarti, and local excursions. The rooms were elegant and clean, and we enjoyed a variety of satvik meals during our stay. Additionally, you will meet many people from diverse backgrounds and engage in deep conversations about spirituality, well-being, and the history of Yoga.

My only regret about leaving here was that I wasn’t able to stay longer and only do a 3-day retreat.

I will surely be back here again. Thanks!

For transparency, this was my first exposure to Yoga in any form, let alone a retreat. But spending time with this group was truly an eye-opening experience. Rohit and Ana bring different complementary strengths to the program. They assess your current level, meet you where you are, and then challenge you to push further.

They introduced me to many aspects of Yoga and transformed my popular Western understandings of it. Of course, the physical aspects were very challenging for someone as rigid as I, but they were very patient. The hotel was fine and the satvik food was plentiful.

As with my past retreats, this one was packed with nearly daily activities around Rishikesh, including trips to the Ganga for various activities, the Ganga Aarti, a hike to a waterfall, etc., but you never felt a lack of private time. Appreciated that balance.

They cap the number of participants in each session to 10 folks. In my group of 8, this translated to an opportunity to bond more closely. The people in the group constantly make or break a retreat, and these folks opened their hearts to each other. We had lots of fun times bonding over the physical struggles during Yoga sessions.

Lastly, I would be pretty hesitant to trust a group of reviews that average five stars. And rightly so. Not in this case, though. These folks know what they are doing and are genuine and sincere. Isn’t that all you can ask for? Posh? No. But if you’re searching, or if you’re finally ready to see what it’s all about, this is the place!
