Learn yoga in the world’s yoga capital, Rishikesh, from traditional Himalayan yoga teachers from the very basics to advance in a traditional way at Hare Rama Institute, which is situated in Tapovan, Laxman Jhula, Rishikesh which is in India’s northern state of Uttarakhand, in the Himalayan foothills beside the Ganges river.... The river is considered holy, and the city is renowned as the world’s yoga capital. The surrounding of Hare Rama is very serene and peaceful and at the same time very energetic by the flowing energy of the river Ganga. Also, Rishikesh is a magical and holy place that has been somehow attracting people from all over the world for many years already.

The Institute is within a walking distance of the river Ganga. The Institute is surrounded by the serene green mountains which heal the inner soul and the river Ganga flow within a walking distance. It is far from the craziness but near enough to reach everything you need. All over Rishikesh, you can find local markets, unique shops, and breathtaking views of the holy river and nature.

Ayurveda consultation

This is an in-depth analysis of your health history and current health concerns / problems. Your body type and your current state imbalance will be determined first (prakruti and vikruti). Everything will be explained in terms that you can easily understand and a guideline will be introduced on how to implement Ayurveda into your everyday life. You will get a recommendation of lifestyle adjustments, dietary plan and, if appropriate, herbs.


Head and face massage

This is a deeply relaxing treatment focusing on the face and head which is an area where the large part of your central nervous system is placed. The treatment improves circulation, balances the nervous system, releases tension, prevents migraines, and stimulates hair growth. Your face reflects your feelings and the head and face treatment prevents wrinkles and increases your inner beauty.


Ayurveda detox massage (Uzhichil)

This deeply purifying treatment is designed to help loosen and release toxins from the body. The treatment is effectively restoring balance to the organs and tissues, calming the mind, and helping to re-establish your natural state of health, happiness, and an inner sense of well-being. Some of the herbalized oils are carefully prepared to target your individual imbalances with its soothing treatments, yet powerful and uniquely effective.


Abhyangam massage

This is a very effective massage for acquiring energy and vigor, and also give a refreshment to your feeling. It also helps to give a very sound sleep and improve the eyesight. Abhyangam is the selected medicated oil that suits the individual and illness, and scientifically massaged all over the body by specialized therapists for the specified time prescribed from 40 minutes to one hour.


Herbal powder massage (Udvarthanam)

The whole body is gently massaged with medicated powders prepared with various herbs. This helps reduce fat patches from the body known as cellulite, toning of the muscles, improves blood circulation and eases joint pains. Regular Udvartanam is good not only for healing cellulite but it also helps lose weight by increasing the basal metabolic rate.


Marma therapy

There are 108 Marma points all over the body and each point relates to a specific organ and function of the body. Treating the related Marma point helps to treat the related organ too. Marma points are connected with each other by energy channel called Nadis. Marma massage is a very good treatment to help you release this blocked energy and aiding stress relief, especially people who are working as a physical trainer or yoga teacher.


Chavitti Uzhichil (foot massage)

This Keralian foot body massage helps to tone up the muscles and regain flexibility of your body. This is the special massage of the Kalari and is very good to treat sports injuries.

We spent 4 days on the yoga retreat at Hare Rama. From start to finish, our experience was overwhelmingly positive. We were picked up by a driver at Dehra Dun airport which we would recommend. Our instructors were really accommodating to the fact that we were complete beginners and although it was a small length of time we made progress! We loved the excursions offered by Hare Rama. Shubham had a wealth of knowledge about the places we visited and was very chatty. He made us feel very welcome.
