7 Day 7 Chakra Yoga, Art & Meditation Retreat In India

This seven-day chakra yoga, art, and meditation retreat in Rishikesh, India, is designed for seekers who want to move beyond intellectual understanding into a felt, embodied experience of their inner energy system. Set in the foothills of the Himalayas, the academy sits in a quiet village reached by a short ten-minute walk from the main road. There are no cars here, no traffic noise — just green slopes, mountain air, and the kind of stillness that makes deep inner work feel natural rather than forced. The program is built around the seven chakras, guiding participants through each energy center with a blend of yoga, meditation, and creative practice. Rather than studying the chakras as abstract concepts, you are invited to explore them through your body, your breath, and your own intuitive expression. A distinctive feature of this retreat is Yantra Painting combined with sound healing, led by Damini Sargam. Rooted in esoteric tradition, yantra practice uses sacred geometry, mantra, and focused concentration to quiet the mind. The act of painting becomes a meditation in itself, supporting clarity and inner calm. Sound healing sessions complement the visual and physical practices, adding another layer of sensory immersion. Together, these modalities help participants access subtle layers of awareness that purely physical or purely mental practices might not reach on their own. Instruction comes from experienced teachers with years of professional training in their respective fields. The small-group, village-based setting allows for personal attention and a pace that honors each person's process, whether they are new to chakra work or have been exploring it for years. For anyone drawn to Rishikesh and the wider Uttarakhand region as a place of spiritual depth, this retreat offers a structured yet creative path inward — one that weaves yoga, sacred art, and sound into a single, cohesive week of transformation.
