I had a one week stay and I would have stayed more. Yogi Ji and the team are amazing and the classes of yoga, chanting, meditation and lecture that we had there plus the trekking and rafting made it a time to always remember. I can not speak highly enough of what the week meant for me and how peaceful it made me feel being there. Just go with an open heart and the rest will follow!
I was very hesitant about whether I was going to find the right yoga ashram when I arrived in Rishikesh. I researched considerably online and always saw this place across the river from my hostel at the time (BunkStay). I took a wander down along the river to Yogi Ji's Ashram and checked it out.
The location is excellent, very close to Ganga river, there is a beach right in front of the ashram, but you can also find some very nice secluded beaches within 10 minutes walking distance. The Ganga is extremely clean in the area, but the water cold :) Right in front of the ashram there is a very small island in the middle of the river (just a patch of sand) and we did some meditation there, in the evening - it was overwhelming, very quiet, we could only hear some birds and frogs :) and when it got dark the moonlight was magical....
We are always keep them happy
