Let’s begin!
February Yoga Retreat in Rishikesh: Major Highlights
The following are the important aspects of the yoga retreat dedicated to the veneration of Mahadeva in Rishikesh for February 2023:
Duration and venue
At Ekattva Yogshala, we recognize Mahashivratri as an ideal opportunity for rejuvenation and renewal. That’s why we have thoughtfully crafted our yoga retreat to provide the optimal balance of time, lasting for five days. This duration is neither too long nor too short and will allow participants to take a break from their daily routine and connect with their true selves.
Participants can check-in at our facility in Rishikesh on February 15th from 11:00 AM. Check-out will take place on February 19th, 2023.
Retreat events
Our February yoga retreat is especially designed to not only prepare participants for sadhana on the auspicious occasion of Mahashivratri but also to support them throughout the process. During the retreat, you will have the opportunity to engage in various yogic practices such as kriya, pranayama, yogasana, and meditation.
One of our highly experienced yoga teachers will lead regular discussions on related topics that will help you deepen your understanding of Yoga and provide a supportive and knowledgeable environment to address any questions you may have. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to participate in Vedic rituals such as Ganga Snan, Hawan, Sankirtan, and Rudrabhishek.
Talking about the objective, the focus of the February yoga retreat events will be engaging in austere practices to increase receptiveness to divine blessings.
Accommodation
Ekattva Yogshala values its students and recognizes the importance of providing a comfortable and conducive environment for rest, sleep, and relaxation. During the February yoga retreat, participants will be accommodated at our retreat center in Visthapit. The center is situated in close proximity to the Ganges river but away from bustling market areas.
Participants will be staying in private rooms, each equipped with an attached toilet and a private balcony facing nature. The washrooms are fitted with modern amenities and the rooms are furnished with contemporary furniture for a comfortable stay.
Nutritious meals
For us, there’s nothing quite as delightful as seeing a table full of smiling faces digging into delicious sattvic meals after a satisfying yoga session. During your 5-day stay at our retreat center, our resident chef who has a motto, “Come hungry and leave happy!” will whip up tasty, nourishing breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and dinners to keep you fueled and satisfied.
The food prepared will be 100% vegetarian, sattvic-inspired, and all about promoting balance, healing, and inner peace.

Other highlights
Since our February yoga retreat is centered around the sacred and highly celebrated festival of Maha Shivaratri, we are also offering participants the opportunity to participate in the Rudrabhishek puja. For those unfamiliar, it is a powerful ritual in which Lord Shiva is bathed with flowers and other holy puja materials.
By participating in the Rudrabhishek puja, participants can seek the blessings of Lord Shiva in Rishikesh and receive health, wealth, and happiness, while also being protected from negativity and evil. Other types of puja options through our priests will also be available on a donation basis during your stay at Ekattva Yogshala.
Program fee
Ekattva Yogshala’s re-awakening February yoga retreat, celebrating the all-mighty Shiva, is a comprehensive 5-day experience that covers ancient yoga practices, lodging, nutritious meals, and Vedic ceremonies mentioned above. The program fee for this retreat is 27,500 INR and will be due upon the start of the program on February 15th.
