Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I just stay at Aavya, even if I don’t join a retreat?
Yes, absolutely. You don’t have to sign up for a big wellness retreat to enjoy Aavya. Many guests simply book a boutique room, soak up the mountain views, sip chai in the garden, and recharge. Think of us as a wellness retreat in Rishikesh where you can choose your own pace.
2. Can I eat at your café without staying?
Yes! Our Aavya Café in Tapovan is open to everyone. Come for sattvic thalis, fresh juices, coffee, and light meals with forest views. It’s the kind of place where yogis, travelers, and artists meet over chai.
3. Are pets allowed?
Yes, we’re proudly pet‑friendly. Dogs, cats, and furry companions are welcome. Keep them leashed in common spaces and we’ll make them feel at home.
4. What classes and workshops do you offer?
Plenty! Daily yoga classes in Rishikesh (Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Pranayama, Yoga Nidra) plus meditation, mantra chanting, dance, and sound healing. Weekly pottery workshops, cooking classes, art sessions, music jams, and ecstatic dance nights.
5. Why do you have so many different activities?
Because wellness isn’t one‑size‑fits‑all. At Aavya we bring together yoga, art, dance, music, spa, and nourishing food — so you can design your own magical experience.
6. Can you design a customized retreat for me?
Yes! 3‑day yoga and pottery in Tapovan, a couple’s spa and sound healing getaway, or a solo nature recharge — we’ll create a retreat just for you.
7. How do I reach Aavya?
We’re on the hilltop in Upper Tapovan, Rishikesh — close to the nicest cafés but tucked away in peaceful seclusion. Cars can reach public parking (about 100 meters away), and our team will gladly help with your bags.
