Elemental Alchemy Yoga Retreat

About the Retreat

Sometimes, life moves so fast that we forget what it feels like to simply breathe.

The Elemental Alchemy Retreat is an invitation to pause, reconnect, and rediscover yourself through the ancient practices of yoga, pranayama, meditation, and Ayurveda.

Guided by Ruchi Jaju, a Luxembourg-based yoga teacher trained in Rishikesh, this immersive experience blends the five elements — Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space — into a journey of transformation.

Each day unfolds gently, with morning asana practices, guided meditations, nourishing sattvic meals, and evening rituals by the Ganges.

You will not only learn to realign your body and mind but also experience the deep stillness and energy that Rishikesh — the birthplace of yoga — naturally offers.

Whether you are new to yoga or an experienced practitioner, this retreat will help you reset, release, and reconnect with yourself.

Rediscover balance and inner harmony through yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, and mindful living at the spiritual heart of India — Rishikesh.

The Retreat Experience

A Journey Beyond the Mat

This retreat is not just about yoga poses — it is about living yoga in its truest form.

Each day begins with grounding morning practices and ends with reflective evening meditations and rituals by the Ganges.

In between, you will move, learn, rest, and reconnect — carried by the rhythm of nature and the sacred silence of the Himalayas.

You will explore:

• Daily Yoga, Pranayama, and Meditation — Integrating balance, alignment, and awareness through Hatha and Vinyasa practices.
• Workshops on the Five Elements (Pancha Mahabhutas) — Learn how Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space influence your energy, emotions, and health.
• Ayurvedic Wisdom Sessions — Discover simple lifestyle practices and sattvic nutrition for vitality and inner clarity.
• Sacred Experiences — Ganga Aarti, sunrise meditation at Kunjapuri Temple, sound healing, and nature walks.
• Stillness and Reflection — Guided journaling, introspection time, and mindful silence.

Why Rishikesh?

Rishikesh is not just a destination — it is an awakening.

Nestled along the banks of the holy Ganges and surrounded by the Himalayas, it carries a natural vibration that gently guides you inward.

The air, the chants, the river — everything here reminds you of who you truly are.

Who This Retreat Is For

This retreat is for anyone seeking a deeper connection with themselves, especially working professionals, parents, and individuals experiencing burnout, transition, or restlessness.

No prior yoga experience is required — only an open heart and a willingness to pause.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced practitioner, you will find something profound waiting for you in Rishikesh.
