About Rishikesh

The spiritual place Rishikesh is located at the holy Ganges at the foot of the Himalayas. Surrounded by forest and mountains, the city consists of a colourful collection of temples, ashrams and yoga schools. Every day, pilgrims from all over India come to take a holy bath in the Ganges and take part in the ceremonial ceremonies. Baba ji’s (holy men) sit in deep meditation on small rocks on the banks of the aisle, shining candles float on the river every evening for the fire ceremony, and Hindu prayers and mantras ring everywhere.

The lived spirituality is contagious and very quickly you become a part of it and develop an intensive yoga practice in a structured everyday life.

In this wonderful place is the equally beautiful little Anand Prakash Ashram.

Here all aspects of yoga are brought together into one unit.

The ashram provides a good setting for a healthy yogic lifestyle with a regular daily routine, delicious and vegetarian food, yoga classes and ashram events, such as the morning fire puja (prayer) and Kirtan chants.
