योगश्चित्तवृत्तिनिरोधः, तदा दृष्टुः स्वरूपेऽवस्थानम्। व्यास्तीरेकभवनं चित्तम्, एतत्तद्ध्यानमुच्यते।।
Yogas chittavritti nirodhah, tadaa drishtuh svaroope-'vasthanam, Vyaasteer-e-kabhavanam chittam, etat-tad-dhyaanam uchyate.
Yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind, leading to the realization of the true self. When the mind becomes free of distractions and scattered thoughts, it becomes expansive and focused. This state of mind is called meditation, and it is the ultimate goal of yoga practice.

testimonials
Practical note: we stayed in a different location than it is marked on Google Maps.
The teachers are very skilled and knowledgeable, they gave me all the tools I need for the Handstand, I now understand all the anatomics and every clue in detail.
During the Programm was lots of time in between the lessons but the classes itself were quite intense.
And the rooms btw were the best compared to everything I experienced in India before 🤣
I’d definitely come again!
It was as intense as it was captivating. It included aerial yoga and anatomy lessons that went hand in hand with the practice, where every day the muscles activation and body alignment became clearer so I could grasp the handstand technique.
Special thanks to my teacher Ankit Ji for believing in me and the entire team of teachers for giving me the confidence that I could do it.
So don't think twice. Make it happen!
Namaste
The location is perfect, nestled in the serene surroundings of Rishikesh, offering the perfect environment to deepen your practice. The food was also amazing, healthy, fresh, and nourishing. Whether you're here for a retreat or just a few days of practice, Sage House Yoga offers a truly authentic and transformative experience.
I highly recommend it to anyone looking to connect with themselves on a deeper level, improve their practice, and experience the peaceful energy of Rishikesh!
Thank you so much 🙏
Ankit Ji and Shivani Ji were the best hosts
I had opted for a 3 day yoga retreat where there were multiple yoga sessions, acro yoga with my partner and a nice excursion
We also saw Ganga Arti which was peaceful and heart touching
It started raining in Rishikesh but Ankit ji and Shivani Ji made sure that we have a comfortable stay and we keep having something fun and relaxing to do
It was mu partner’s birthday and they went out of their way to get a cake for us.
Their stay and food was also really good
Loved the delicious food they served. And the cottages were clean and tidy
I am so happy that I chose sage house as I got more from those 3 days than I expected
It’s a must visit for us now!
I will be going back again really really soon!
Ankit and Rohit are very talented teachers and above all they are both lovely people. Unfortunately the meditation teacher was ill so I did not have a chance to meet them, but I am confident that all teachers who teach here are excellent.
The accommodation was very modern. I stayed in a spacious private cottage which had all amenities from a kettle to a TV. In the evenings there was a cozy bonfire in the garden to sit around and chat. The atmosphere of the accommodation is quite lively with many guests enjoying the garden and the nearby restaurant until late at night. I even got to watch a pre-wedding movie shoot from my doorstep 🙂
All in all if you’re looking for a fun and modern yoga retreat experience with amazing teachers, Sage House is a good choice.
