Welcome to the world's yoga capital
Today we are in Rishikesh to celebrate the International Day of Yoga. Considered the world's yoga capital, Rishikesh has been one of India’s holiest and most spiritual centres for thousands of years. It is a magical city on the blue banks of the holy Ganges River and nestled under the gaze of the mystical Himalayas. Filled with temples and surrounded by emerald jungles, hidden waterfalls, and pristine nature, Rishikesh is a jewel of an entry into the deep Himalayas and a gateway for those seeking to go deep into their spiritual practice.
