Several health specialists have found that following a mindful yoga retreat improves eating and sleeping patterns, reduces stress and anxiety disorders, and increases metabolism.

This Meditation retreat induces a sense of happiness and satisfaction. It makes us more compassionate towards nature, other living beings, and ourselves.

A yoga retreat in India is an excellent medium for attaining this goal and growing a spiritual path.

 

Kindly note that our yoga and meditation retreat is similar to Vipassana meditation, a Buddhist meditation preached and practised thousands of years ago.

We also instil specific Reiki, Jin Shin Jyutsu healing, Pranic healing, and Kundalini & Tantra Yoga workshops in our yoga retreat in India program as they are a significant part of the ancient yogic system.

Moreover, It is one of the essential yoga and meditation retreat in India of healing breathwork accelerate emotional wellness.

To follow up on the basics of Vipassana, we insist on and encourage our students to keep in touch with certain principles of a yoga retreat to accelerate emotional and physical healing –

  1. Satya(truthfulness), Ahimsa (non-violence),
  2. Mauna (silence),
  3. Aparigraha (non-collectiveness),
  4. Shanti(universal peace).

The ashram arranged for three complimentary excursions during a month-long program. These excursions often give our students a chance to experience the local temples, waterfalls, caves, and other places of importance.

24X7 Student Support

Our students are provided with dedicated phone and chat support number before they leave for India. This is to help them stay in touch with us and experience a smooth journey from their country to the ashram.

We offer our students complete control of their booking, meaning that they are totally eligible to transfer their booking to someone else, switch to a different course, or join a different batch than planned within a calendar year.

However, it is important to note that this facility is only available until the batches are finalized. Our batches are finalized on the 5th of every month. Once the final list has been prepared, no such modification can be allowed unless there is a critical emergency.

In case of emergency

We understand and empathize with unavoidable circumstances. Therefore, we ask our students to notify us of their situation within 24 hours of an emergency, in case they are unable to continue with their planned course. In case of an emergency, a student is allowed to move their course date to another month but not transfer it to someone else. All the emergency cases are individually evaluated and the final decision of approval rests with the ashram authorities.

The student isn’t liable for any refund or date change in no show situations.

Ethical Guidelines

At Yog Niketan Dham, we structure our courses and daily plans keeping in accordance with the essentials of the yogic way of life. And, we believe that sheering to this structure only enhances the experience for our students. We must understand that yoga is not just about postures and a few theoretical lessons; instead, it is a way of life. And, to completely transform your life according to the principles of yoga, it is essential that you strictly follow the guidelines of our ashram.

Additionally, we understand that our students come from different countries and cultural background. And, we believe in sharing our mutual respect for every culture and their beliefs. In return, we ask that our students feel the same about our culture and of those other students that they live and study with.

Furthermore, our values and principles are based on the traditional form of yogic practice. Though we respect all disciplines of yoga, we highly discourage our students from practice of Apbhrans (modified forms) of yoga during the course. Our students must understand that most of the contemporary yogic forms deal with only physical exercise and not the actual fundamentals of ancient yoga.

Last but not the least, we practice satvik living at the ashram, meaning that non-vegetarian food items, smoking, and drinking are strictly prohibited. We do not tolerate any form of intoxication. Being under the influence of any such substance is a cause for immediate termination without any refunds.
