Some places you go in the world will always feel like coming home.

January 2025

Kerala, South India

Starting on the 19th of January you can decide to spend either one or two weeks in Varkala, a small town perched majestically above the Arabian Sea. Varkala Cliff stands as an iconic landmark along Kerala's picturesque coastline. This natural wonder offers you a captivating blend of breathtaking views, vibrant culture, and serene ambiance.

We’ll stay at Chandra Yoga School, a well disciplined and systematic yoga training institute run by Dr.Chandra Kumar. Chandra School of Yoga started in 2004 and with the systematic approach of Dr.Chandra Kumar it has become one among the top yoga training institutes in South Kerala.

This is a great opportunity to really go deeper into your yoga practice on multiple levels, get to know where this amazing philosophy comes from, surrounded by a stunning scenario and a safe environment.

This retreat can help you to add a touch of yogic wellness to your lifestyle, with guided sessions of Hatha Yoga asanas, meditation, pranayama and healthful vegetarian ayurvedic food.

No prior experience in Yoga is required. Whether you are a dedicated practitioner/teacher looking to deepen your practice, a curious explorer seeking spiritual insights, or someone in search of relaxation, this retreat is for you.

January is high season in Kerala, the weather is warm, but not too humid, perfect for a daily site seeing trip or to chill on the beaches waiting to witness a spectacular sunset.

The popular Varkala Cliff standing on this beach is a famous hub for eateries, shopping stores, and paragliding. Apart from that, an assortment of cafes welcome you to cuisines ranging from authentic Keralan to Himalayan.

Despite its traveller vibe Varkala remains essentially an important temple town, the main Papanasham Beach is a holy Hindu spot, overlooked by the ancient Janardhana Temple.

For any of you that have challenges in paying, PLEASE REACH OUT, I'm more than happy to create a personal price for you if you have economic limits. 

I always try my best to tread the balance of both charging and creating worth and respect towards what this ancient practice should be appreciated as such, but I also never want finances to be the reason why someone can't practice, if this is what they wish for. Any of you can always come talk to me, I will not judge or question why, just let me know what you need!
