The International Yoga Festival returns in 2018 to further expand the global community of collective consciousness, more needed than ever to affect the entire planet, one person at a time and the chain effect is so needed!
Come to Destination Rishikesh, the home of the Ancient Yogis, feel the vibrations of the Shivalik mountains, as you tune into your heart current from the energy you receive on the sacred banks of the majestic Ganga River. That itself is a yoga practice, sitting and watching the flow of the river. Learn to connect with your authentic flow while you are here.
Connect with like-minded frontier-conscious yogis, and planet-shifters like yourselves, from every part of the world; a community that becomes family for life. We attract over 1000 yogis every year, and this consistently expands.
Embrace every style of yoga; learn from Spiritual Leaders, Master Yoga Teachers, Evolutionary Thought Leaders, and Wellness Specialists from the around the world. Learn about the 8 Limbs of Yoga through these different perspectives. Awaken to the best version of yourself and ignite your inner light through our signature Ganga Aarti every night at Parmarth Niketan Ashram.
The IYF programme offers an extensive schedule, starting at 4 am and ending at 10 pm, allowing you to customize the days as per your needs. We also offer chill-out spaces like our Sacred Sound Stage for you to come and unwind.
Parmarth Niketan Ashram is one of the oldest ashrams in Rishikesh that has hosted ancient rishis and sages throughout its time. Rishikesh has a special vortex of energy where people have transformed just being here in our sacred ashram. It is infused with daily morning chants, kirtans, Ganga Aarti, and Satsang - in every essence your sacred Himalayan Home.
Enjoy Uttarakhand cultural performances and world-renowned musicians in the evenings, dance and sing in joy on the sacred banks until late.
