With Vinyasa Yoga Academy
Hosting a retreat abroad is a significant task. Between managing room assignments, dietary restrictions, and local transport, your energy as a teacher can quickly become depleted.
Vinyasa Yoga Academy offers exclusive and best retreat hosting in Rishikesh for yoga teachers, wellness practitioners, and group leaders from around the world. Our campus is nestled in the Himalayan foothills, about 300 metres from the sacred Ganga, and provides everything you need to deliver a retreat that your participants will remember for years.
We have been hosting retreat groups for over 10 years, managing the space, the meals, the logistics, and the on-the-ground support so your retreat runs smoothly from the first morning to the final session, however days long.
You have the vision, the community, and the teaching style. Let us handle the logistics, the laundry, and the Himalayan hospitality.

A Sacred Container for Your Tribe’s Transformation
Every hosted retreat at VYA Rishikesh includes all of the following as standard:
We leave Sunday’s lunch and dinner open for your own exploration. Our kitchen takes a rest while we encourage you to connect with the local community and enjoy authentic Indian cuisine nearby.
Note: We always request hosts to consult with us over a direct phone call and inform us about specific requirements in advance. If not possible, we stay open to helping you at the last moment as well.
The Process
Fill in the enquiry form above or reach us directly at contact@vinyasayogaacademy.com or +91-8755744872. Tell us your preferred dates, group size, retreat type, and any specific needs in advance.
Within 48 hours, we will send you a customised proposal covering accommodation options, pricing, available shalas, and any add-on services. Everything is built around what you actually need.
A 30% deposit secures your dates. We then work with you on the schedule, menus, room allocation, and any special requests. Your group will be the only retreat on campus during your stay.
You and your group arrive. We handle everything on the ground. You teach, they learn, we manage.
What Sets Us Apart
When you book with us, the campus is yours. No other retreats, no shared spaces with unrelated guests. Your group has the shalas, the gardens, and the communal areas entirely to themselves.
We have supported practitioners and learners from over 100 countries. Our team can anticipate needs, resolve problems quickly, and help you out when and where things go wrong.
The Ganga at 300 metres, the Himalayan skyline, and the atmosphere of a town that has been a centre of spirituality for centuries. All of this becomes part of your retreat without you having to engineer it.
You are the master of your retreat, we are the organisers. Whether you want complete independence or you desire our E-RYT faculty for any session, we work around your needs exclusively.
Your Gateway to the Himalayas
Vinyasa Yoga Academy sits in the hills of Rishikesh, at a quiet, forested pocket away from the town’s busiest areas. The shala environment is specifically designed to hold the kind of inward focus that retreats require — clean air, natural sounds, minimal distraction, and a community culture that respects practice and quiet.
The campus operates as a yoga-only space. No hotel guests. No outside traffic. Your space, exclusive to you.
Bring your tribe to the yoga capital of the world and let the spiritual energy of the Ganges do the heavy lifting while we manage the rest.

Common Questions
We comfortably host groups from 6 to 40 participants. Smaller groups of fewer than 6 are considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on dates and room availability. For groups over 40, please contact us directly to discuss what is possible with the space we have.
You are completely welcome to bring your own teachers. Our faculty is available to supplement your schedule if you want additional sessions in pranayama, Ayurveda, sound healing, or other areas, but that is entirely optional and at your request.
A 30% deposit is required to confirm your dates. The deposit is non-refundable if the retreat is cancelled. Rescheduling is possible, and we can transfer the deposit to new dates, provided you give us at least 60 days’ notice and the new dates are available. The remaining balance is due 30 days before your retreat begins. For bespoke arrangements or large groups, we will detail the specific terms in your proposal.
Yes. When your group is here, the campus is yours. We do not mix retreat groups or allow general accommodation guests during your dates. Your participants have the shalas, the communal spaces, and the grounds entirely to themselves.
Yes, you can. While we specialise in Sattvic vegetarian cuisine, our chefs can prepare customised meals for vegan, gluten-free, or specific allergy requirements at no extra cost.
Yes, and fully. The retreat content is entirely yours. You provide the daily schedule you want to run, and we build the logistics around it. If you would like suggestions for sequencing the day or ideas for integrating local experiences, our team is happy to advise.
We typically require a 3-night minimum for retreat hosting, though most successful immersions choose 5, 7, or 14-day formats. The duration of your retreat is fixed by your end; we only provide suggestions to make your attendees’ journey worth remembering.
For the best choice of dates and room configurations, we recommend booking at least 3 to 6 months in advance. Peak season in Rishikesh runs from March to June and from October to December. These months fill up the earliest. If you have a specific date in mind, reach out to us. We will check availability and get back to you immediately.
Our Shalas are fully stocked with high-quality mats, bolsters, blocks, straps, and meditation cushions. Your students only need to bring themselves and the things finalised by you.
Yes. Our campus is equipped for all kinds of modalities and any kind of retreats, whether it’s yoga or ayurveda, silent, wellness, or environmental. We can arrange for our staff to create a Noble Silence environment for your group during your silent retreat.
Yes, on request. We can advertise your retreat to a worldwide audience of yoga practitioners and teachers through our website and social media channels. We can also assist with logistics for your own promotional materials, i.e., photos of the campus, location details, and facility descriptions.
That’s great! If you want traditional Indian ceremonies to be part of your retreat, we can arrange traditional Fire Ceremonies (Havan), Kirtan sessions with local musicians, or guided trips to the Ganga Aarti to bring a touch of authentic devotion to your Indian-style retreat.
Pricing depends on group size, accommodation type, session requirements, and time of year. Rates vary for custom proposals, including additional faculty sessions, Ayurvedic treatments, or curated excursions. We’ll give you a clear, itemised breakdown in your custom proposal without any hidden elements.
We are a dedicated Yoga Alliance-accredited school, not a tourist or holiday resort. This means our Shalas, staff, and community vibration are all aligned with serious spiritual practice rather than just fun, holiday hospitality.
