In Kerala, India, the cradle of yoga

In the utmost respect for ancestral and Ayurvedic traditions, yogis perpetuate their art. In Kerala, a state located in the southwest of the country, nature is abundant. You will find many wellness centers offering traditional treatments, yoga teachings, yoga workshops, meditation classes from the ashram… Ayurvedic is traditional Indian Sanskrit medicine. Made of wellness massages and natural treatments, Ayurvedic is inseparable from the practice of yoga. It is important to note that yoga imposes no confession and has a strong meditative aspect that is not devotion, although some centers are located in holy cities. Do not hesitate to try this experience during a trip to South India.

In Goa, India

Why not combine beach holidays with yoga classes? This is what the Little Cove Yoga Retreat offers. Close to nature, Goa's centers have everything to please and are ideal for opening our chakras. An eco-friendly cottage, vegetarian Indian meals… The courses taught by gurus aim to give you inner calm and ideal physical health and allow you to refocus. Ayurvedic treatments are also on the program here.
