India Pilgrimage & Yoga Festival
Parmarth Niketan literally means “An Abode Dedicated to the Welfare of All.”
We will spend 10 days at Parmarth Niketan Ashram on the banks of the Ganges River, 7 of which are to participate in the International Yoga Festival. The days leading up to the festival will include temple, holy site and ashram tours. This is an opportunity to go into the heart of the Yoga culture and immerse yourself in the philosophy and lifestyle.
Participants will fly into the Delhi airport, arriving on March 4th and will be picked up by private transportation. After spending the first evening in a hotel, private transportation will drive us from New Delhi to Rishikesh (a 6 hour trip by car). Enjoy a pre-festival tour, Yoga and Meditation by Brent & Natalia leading up to the first day of the International Yoga Festival which commences on March 8th and ends on March 14th. During the festival, participants will be on their own to enjoy the many classes and activities offered by a variety of International Yoga teachers, musicians and performers. Private transportation will then take the group back to New Delhi on March 15th to fly out that evening or the next day on the 16th.
(A portion of our proceeds will be donated to the Swami Shukdevanand Trust which covers all of the environmental & humanitarian projects at Parmarth Niketan including Divine Shakti Foundation (www.divineshaktifoundation.
