The Nada Yoga School in Rishikesh conducts the International Yoga and Music Festival every year in November. Held since 2008, the event includes classes in yoga asanas (hatha yoga, ashtanga, Iyengar, Sivananda), pranayama (breathing exercises) and shatkarma (cleansing exercises), as well as lectures on Ayurveda. Each evening of the seven-day festival features Indian classical music or dance performances. The festival, staged virtually in 2020 and 2021, returned with an in-person edition in 2022.
The 17th edition of the International Yoga and Music Festival was held between 08 and 14 March 2023.
