Is this Journey Right for Me?

This journey will be a truly incredible experience if you:

Currently or have previously practised yoga and wish to gain a better insight into the philosophy of yoga and more fully integrate its teachings and practice into your lifestyle.

Will enjoy participating in daily yoga (asana) classes, meditation and yoga nidra sessions

Have an interest in learning more about Sanskrit, kundalini and the chakras.

Want to travel to India but aren’t interested in the “touristy” stuff

Looking for a bit of a detox – all meals at Kairali are chef-prepared multi-courses, vegetarian nourishing goodness!

Are happy to take time out, lounge in a hammock under a coconut tree, swim in the pool, or read a book and sip masala chai on your veranda.

Are keen to connect with a community.

Want to learn more about Ayurveda, visit an Ayurvedic factory and experience a treatment and steam bath every day!

Have an open mind, willingness to learn and a great sense of humour and are ready for a week of learning, relaxation, connection and fun.

But this journey may not be the right experience for you if you:

Aren’t reallly that “into” Yoga or Ayurveda

Want to be where all the tourists are and do what the tourists usually do

Want to go shopping (but you could do this before or after your retreat)

Want to see more than one location in India (but you could extend and do this before or after your retreat)

Won’t enjoy a vegetarian only diet for 7 days.

Don’t like music, yoga, laughter, connecting with people or having fun!
