Explore India
India is a limitless fount of wisdom, people and new experiences. The only way to get into it is to get into it. We will guide you safely and gently through your India experience so that you can get the best and avoid the worst that is India. Randall will guide you to some hidden places, ashrams and nature spots. Please note that is NOT a guided tour. Sometimes we will explore together, and sometimes you will explore on your own or with friends. This is for confident, intelligent, independent travellers.
Daily Swara Yoga and Lecture
Randall will be your guide for the morning practices, taking place in the private guest house we will stay in. We will do Swara Yoga which includes breath, movement, meditation, mantra and more. After class we eat breakfast and then we will have a lecture to enhance your knowledge and experience. It’s a perfect start to the day!
Experience the Magic
Beautiful Rishikesh is situated on the banks of Holy Ganga river and surrounded by the Rajaji National Tiger Reserve. (Don’t be scared, no tigers around town). The Himalayan hills are supremely beautiful, as is the Ashram area of Rishikesh and the many beaches along the Ganga. It’s clean and pleasant and October is an ideal time to come.
Meet Yogis and Teachers
Having spent so much time here, I know many wonderful teachers and yogis we can meet and learn from. Some days we will go out and explore yoga (and other) classes or meet special souls for lessons or teachings. There is so much to learn here, from yoga to mantra, Philosophy to astrology and so much more.
Visit Temples and Pujas
Every morning and evening there are ceremonies in the temples along the Ganga River. We will visit different temples and experience the way they worship the higher consciousness through mantra, song, fire and offerings.
Ayurvedic Panchakarma
There is a wonderful Ayurvedic Clinic in Rishikesh which we will go to. If you wish, you can have a dosha test and an ayurvedic assessment, which might include a panchakarma. It’s messy, but you’ll feel great!
