OVERVIEW
Meditation is one of the most popular techniques to reduce stress in present time. Everyone heard the word meditation, which is a very powerful technique in ancient times to recharge our body. In ancient times, this method was used to live life long. According to astanga yoga, meditation is the seventh limb of yoga. It is a higher state of consciousness. If people practice meditation on a regular basis, they have no need to sleep eight hours. It recharges their mind in only a few hours. Before reaching a higher state of consciousness, they need to understand the difference between dhyan and dharna. People should practice dharana first, which is concentration on a single thing. When they have practices, then they will reach an automatic state of meditation.
Nowadays, depression, tension, and anxiety are general issues that are increasing day by day. Due to these issues, people reduce their working efficiency. Everyone wants to overcome these challenges and find the best way to overcome these issues. Yoga and meditation practice are surely helpful in healing body and mind. Om Setu Yogshala is providing a meditation retreat in Rishikesh near the Ganga River. This will definitely be helpful to bringing back your healthy life.
Om Setu Yogshala, situated in the foothills of the Himalayas, the city of Rishikesh is a peaceful place, away from pollution and stress. This place is very suitable for meditation and yogic activities. That's why the best choice is Om Setu Yogshala for yoga, meditation, and spiritual activities, which gives the positive and spiritual vibes of the ever-flowing holy river Ganga. If you are looking for the perfect destination for meditation, then Rishikesh is the best place. 3-day, 5-day, and 7-day meditation retreats are provided by Om Setu Yogshala in Rishikesh, which is a fantastic opportunity to experience spiritual holy life.
OM Setu Yogashala
Om Setu Yogshala in Rishikesh provides a peaceful environment and serene atmosphere; it is an ideal place for people looking for spiritual growth and relaxation. World's capital of yoga is considered a safe place to live, with a low crime rate.
According to Ayurveda, food is considered medicine. Whatever we intake food, it affects our physiology; if we are eating Sattvic food in daily life, it enhances digestion and makes our body happy and healthy. Om Setu Yogshala provides three meals in a day, including herbal tea.
Rishikesh is a place where many spiritual activities and places to visit are available per day. A popular riverbank where people take a bath in the Ganges River and watch Ganga Aarti. Some believe when people bathe in the Ganges, Mother Ganga washes all sins and blesses them. Many ashrams in Rishikesh offer yoga and meditation classes. We will visit during a 3-day, 5-day, and 7-day meditation retreat at a spiritual local place in Rishikesh, like Sivananda Ashram, Swarg Ashram, Gita Bhawan, and Gurdwara Sri Hemkund Sahib
When we practiced meditation techniques, then we realized that there are seven stages of meditation described as body, feelings, awareness, loving-kindness, release, self-fulfillment, and nonduality. In the present, people use different methods for practicing meditation, in which the most popular are the following:
Transcendental meditation : It is a spiritual practice in which one sits quietly and breathes slowly while practicing meditation.
Mantra meditation : Mantra meditation uses repetitive sounds, such as the word "om", to clear the mind. It can help to connect yourself.
Visualization meditation : We use techniques that create a mental image or scenario in our mind to bring you to a place of inner peace.
From time to time, we all experience activities that include guided and silent meditation, walking, resting, and spending time alone in meditation retreats. Let us know any querry regarding to Meditation retreat please comments below!

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 on 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.

Questions You May Have
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!!
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.
