Rishikesh
This is a place famous for being the birthplace of yoga along the sacred Ganges river. It is popular for yoga teacher training, retreats, and many ashrams. The downfall of being in Rishikesh itself is that the area was a bit crowded with too many buildings and many many more under construction.
sort of Meditating
I stayed in an Ashram for a few weeks and I really enjoyed my experience. There were people fro all around the world.
The Ashram itself was very nice, the rooms really comfortable and very very clean. The daily painfully early Yoga Nidra induced guided meditations and relaxation were totally superb! Yoga classes were outstanding!! top-notch wow!!!
The food was freshly prepared during each meal and it was incredibly delicious. We all kept quiet during our meals…when possible…..at least we were supposed to be quiet…
Every evening we had a meditation class, it was a great time to be quiet and to reflect on the experience.
Do I recommend it? Yoga is very very personal. It all depends if a crowded city atmosphere is good for your yoga experience.
