NOTE:
You need to arrive a day before course start date.What you'll learn during the course
The theory is just as important as practising.
Note- Understanding how we can create a sequence for beginner practitioners and intermediate practitioners and what you need to do in class.
Comfortable living and healthy meals for your stay
A sattvic and healthy diet is always energetic. The importance of sattvic food to perform yoga at its best is described in many yogic books. A sattvic diet not only provides you with energy but also helps in controlling your senses. Thus to perform the utmost state of meditation or yoga you must avoid food with spices or a non-vegetarian diet.
The essence of yoga is incomplete without a proper yogic diet. Along with yoga learning and other aspects, Om Setu Yogashala also focuses on the food provided in our yoga school. During our yoga program, we prepare all meals following Ayurvedic principles to support yoga practice and healing. The use of fresh spices, Ayurvedic herbs, and fresh vegetable outlines our food preparation process.
Comfortable Stays for Your Yoga Journey in Rishikesh
During Yoga program, one of the major factors that affect the choice is accommodation. A cozy and comfortable stay in the lap of nature accelerates the efficiency of yoga learning. It's always a blissful experience when a person practices in the calm and energetic atmosphere of Rishikesh. Understanding this, we instituted our accommodation facility in the stillness of the holy city. Our residential premises is situated in between nature. To make a memorable stay in Rishikesh, we equipped our accommodation facilities with all modern amenities.
Ranging from our mattress to the hot and cold water supply, we offer each and everything to our yoga students. Our motto is to provide the essence and comfort of your home. This in turn helps in cultivating the best out of yoga classes. The chirping sounds of birds and spiritual chanting outside render the best yoga-learning atmosphere.

We've just returned from a phenomenal 10 day retreat with Om Setu in Tapovan, Rishikesh. When we initially booked our trip some months ago we were overwhelmed by there being so many yoga companies in Rishikesh to choose from. We didn't know for sure what we would experience when deciding upon Om Setu. Any uncertainties soon dispersed upon arrival & meeting our host. Over the course of our 10 day trip, They were the perfect hosts and took very good care of our needs immersing us into cultural and local excursions and ceremonies & experiences. Teachers are friendly, insightful & talented meditation & pranayama teacher and kind & thoughtful host. As a result, our trip was an unforgettable experience. We have so many beautiful memories which we will hold dear in our hearts & will be returning. If you are considering an immersive experience of Rishikesh with a caring company then look no further than Om Setu, I highly recommend & rest assured you will be in good hands. 🙏🧡🇮🇳🧘♂️

Situated in the foothills of the Himalayas on the bendy bank of the river Ganges is the Om Setu Yogashala 🧘🏻♀️🧡 You’d think, that because of the stunning mountain back drop and mesmerising green flow of the sacred river just a stones throw from your room, that it’s all about the location. But its not just that - the amazing programme put together for my best friend and me was delivered by the loveliest human beings I’ve ever met, and it’s people that make your memories and experiences so special. All are funny, kind and welcoming and love to share their knowledge with you. If you go, (and you really should!!), say hello to my far away friends for me. 🥰But not to worry if you forget - I will return!✨ …Oh and just a heads up; it’s really quite windy in the mornings on the Ganges, so take a hoodie!!
United Kingdom
I cannot speak highly enough of Om Setu Yogashala. We were so well looked after by Host and his team. The quality and professionalism of the teachers was outstanding. Arti is a fantastic yoga teacher and Ayurvedic practitioner. Bhuppi is an exceptional Pranayama and Meditation teacher who generously shares his knowledge and wisdom. All this on the banks of the river Ganges. Perfect location. Host has organised a wonderful schedule which includes many excursions and everyone is so giving of their time. Felt very well looked after. Really going to miss all people. It was quite sad to say goodbye.
Australia
We visited for a 5 day yoga retreat. We had an amazing experience both on the retreat doing yoga and meditation but also doing the other activities on the schedule which they generously gave their time to. It trully was a wonderful experience and we will return to beautiful Rishikesh and Om Setu Yogashala retreat. Namaste 🙏

You will have an amazing experience if you chose this retreat in Rishikesh. Host is one of the most genuine kind and caring people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. He ensures that every day of your yoga retreat experience is wonderful, nothing is too much trouble, he is flexible and will adjust the timetable in any way you wish to ensure that every experience you hope for is achieved. He took such good care of us that by the time we left we felt a bond like we were family. Bhupi Ji is a remarkable teacher of meditation, pranayama and yoga / Hindu philosophy and a wonderful human being, we learned so much from him and he took equally good care of us along with our incredible excursions. The location of the accommodation is outstanding - you open your room door directly onto a terrace which is on the beach of the beautiful Ganga. Located at the edge of Tapovan this is a tranquil and beautiful spot. I cannot recommend this experience more highly.
