Sahaj Retreat - A Holistic Wellness Centre

I recently attended a multi-day yoga retreat organized by Pooja at Sahaj Retreat, and it was an absolutely exceptional experience from start to finish. The property itself is a hidden gem. Nestled in the serene, natural surroundings just outside the main hustle of Rishikesh, it offers the perfect atmosphere for introspection and healing. The sounds of the river and birds were our constant, peaceful companions. The retreat curated and led by Pooja was the highlight. Her deep knowledge of yoga, mindful guidance, and calming presence created a safe and supportive space for all levels. The daily schedule—a beautiful blend of asana, pranayama, meditation, and theoretical sessions—was perfectly paced to be both enriching and deeply relaxing. The team at Sahaj Retreat deserves special mention. Everyone, from the management to the kitchen staff, was incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about our wellbeing. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and in harmony with the natural environment. The food was another high point—fresh, delicious, sattvic vegetarian meals that were both nutritious and flavorful, leaving us nourished after each session. If you are looking for an authentic, holistic, and well-organized wellness retreat away from the crowds, I cannot recommend Sahaj Retreat and Pooja’s programs highly enough. It was more than just a yoga course; it was a genuine reset for mind, body, and soul.

A truly soulful and well-managed wellness retreat I recently attended a retreat at Sahaj Retreat – A Wellness Centre, organized by Pooja Bisht, and this was my second retreat experience with her. Once again, it turned out to be deeply enriching, calming, and thoughtfully curated. The retreat property itself is beautifully located, serene, and perfectly suited for yoga and wellness activities. All the required logistics for yoga sessions and group activities were well arranged, making the experience smooth and distraction-free. A special mention to the owner of Sahaj Retreat—a very humble, sweet, wise, and warm person. It was evident that he genuinely cares for the place from the bottom of his heart. He went out of his way to preserve the sanctity and decorum of the retreat, even taking firm yet respectful steps to ensure that no disturbances (including intoxicated outsiders) affected the peaceful environment. That level of commitment truly stood out. There were a few minor challenges, such as the non-availability of hot water due to the solar-powered system during extremely cold weather. However, the way it was handled deserves appreciation—the owner responded promptly and ensured that hot water buckets were provided at our preferred times, which made a big difference. The staff was equally commendable—calm, polite, patient, and accommodating. They were always willing to help and made sincere efforts to adjust meals, room services, and other requests with a smile. Overall, Sahaj Retreat offers not just a place to stay, but a safe, respectful, and nurturing space for wellness and inner work. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic yoga or wellness retreat experience. I would gladly return again.

So glad to be able to spend last few days of the year, here at Sahaj Retreat which is itself located around Mountains and a river gently flowing right in front. Perfect for people who are looking out to spend time around nature and calmness. Sahaj Retreat is more than just a property as once I entered inside, all my senses could feel is lush greenery, colorful flowers and small waterfall right at the back. The resort itself is so sacred and peaceful that definitely life tensions and problems will hardly bother you there. Kudos and gratitude to those bhaiyas who are constantly working of to bring the best experience at Sahaj, the cooks who brought heartly meals with fresh veges and local cuisines. If you are someone who loves nature, want to get away from the city vibe and reconnect with your true nature and self, then this place is for YOU.

I recently spent a wonderful weekend in Rishikesh and had a fantastic stay at sahaj retreat. The serene surroundings, beautiful views, and warm hospitality made my trip truly unforgettable! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with amazing views of the surrounding hills. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. I loved trying local specialties. The location was perfect for trekking and sightseeing, with many attractions nearby. Overall, I highly recommend sahaj retreat for a relaxing and rejuvenating getaway. Can't wait to return!" 😊

What an amazing property tucked deep inside Gattu Ghat, Rishikesh! This place is pure serenity rejuvenating and soul-healing in every sense. If you’re tired of the city noise and truly want to find inner peace, this property is a must-visit. Not every weekend needs to be about parties sometimes your soul just needs to celebrate calmness. What I loved most is that the property doesn’t allow non-veg, alcohol, or loud music, and that’s exactly what makes it special. It allows peace, nature, healing, and of course, amazing vegetarian food (trust me, it’s delicious!). From the thrilling river crossing to the breathtaking balcony views every moment here feels like a pause button for life.Highly recommended for anyone looking to disconnect from chaos and reconnect with themselves.
