The day starts with sunrise yoga, which is a combination of Hatha and Vinyasa yoga practice, and then the pranayama and guided meditation exercises that stimulate an inner harmony. The retreat also dives deep into the philosophy of yoga and sacred chants of mantra and relaxation processes of yoga nidra.

The magic of this Spiritual Yoga Retreat Varkala experience is the holy place itself: engulfed in cliffs, palm-fringed beaches, and divine temples, it provides you with a peaceful landscape for your inner journey. Staying guests can live in environmentally friendly cottages and are fed sattvic vegetarian food with locally grown organic ingredients.

The retreat consists of individual Ayurvedic consults and massages, which embrace complete wellness. It also offers sufficient time to think, contemplate on the beach, write in journals and get to know the local culture.

This transformative yoga therapy retreat in Varkala with Sha Yoga Varkala is not only a break; it is a healing into self, clarity and inner peace. Be you an untrained novice or well-evolved in the field, the programme takes you as you are and takes you where you need to be.
