At Abhyantara during retreat food is not a side note rather than it becomes important part of practice.

This is why we follow sattvic diet throughout during the 7-day yoga retreat in Rishikesh.

Sattvic food is prepared with very a smaller number of spices in it and its completely plant-based diet. It is without onion and garlic because these types of food disturb the nervous system, and also the mind. After following these diets for at least 4 or 5 days you will notice lightness, energized and clarity of mind which you never experienced from food earlier.

Breakfast at Abhyantara yoga usually light includers fresh fruits, oats, poha, idli and herbal teas with seasonal juices. Lunch is the main meal of the day — Indian thali full of vegetables, dal, boiled rice and chapati. Dinner is always served lighter and easy to digest such as vegetable soup, light curries — needed to prepare your body for better sleep so next morning you wake up fresh for the practice.

All meals are served at dining room. We make it sure students should eat food mindfully i.e. mobile away from you and only gentle conversation if you want. During your one-week course food — your mealtime is also become a form of practice.
