Escape to India, come home to yourself
------ ॐ ------
India is the truly magical home of yoga. I say magical as it is hard to describe the deeply spiritual energy that flows through India and how this touches you when you journey there.
Within our subtle body in the heart space there is the Anahata chakra. This is represented by a blue flower of 12 petals edged in gold, I say that every time you leave India it is like another petal of your heart flower opens.
India is a feast for the senses - the colours the, exotic smells, the taste, the sounds, from beeping horns to temple bells and Mantra chanting.
Our voyage starts when we come together at the Chennai airport and Transfer to Trivandrum, Kerala.
With ample time to explore the local shops and cliffs or rest.
Most mornings will start with a beautiful 90 minute session of Hatha yoga - suitable for all levels from beginners to teachers.
Including mantra, meditation, breathwork and asanas (postures).
Treat your self to an Ayurvedic massage, or a swim in the pool or ocean.

During the 10 days we will explore Janardana Swami Temple which is over 2000 years old, and if timing allows, a sacred Puja on the beach at Varkala.
