Set against the tranquil coastline of Varkala, Kerala, this 7-day yoga retreat with Lalitha Yoga Academy offers a refreshing pause from daily life and a chance to return to the foundations of practice. Surrounded by peaceful natural beauty, it is designed to help you restore energy, deepen your understanding of yoga, and reconnect with yourself in a serene Indian setting.
The program welcomes both beginners and more experienced practitioners. Mornings begin with yoga practice, including Hatha and Vinyasa, followed by guided pranayama and meditation sessions at regular intervals. Alongside the physical practice, participants also explore yoga philosophy, gaining insight into the traditional roots and wider meaning of yoga.
Afternoons allow time to rest or enjoy Varkala Beach, just a short walk away, while optional workshops on Ayurveda and other wellness activities offer further opportunities for learning and self-care. In the evening, gentle yoga sessions help release tension and prepare the body and mind for a restful night.
The curriculum includes Hatha, Ashtanga, pranayama, meditation, breathwork, and ayurveda, creating a balanced experience suitable for all levels. English is the main language used throughout the retreat, so a basic understanding is needed to follow the instructions and lectures comfortably.
The retreat setting combines ocean views with lush greenery, offering a calm and nurturing atmosphere. Cozy huts provide a peaceful place to stay, supporting true rest and rejuvenation throughout the journey.
Led by experienced teachers, this retreat is designed to support inner balance, vitality, and a deeper connection to yoga. It is also an opportunity to experience Kerala’s culture, healing traditions, and welcoming community in one transformative week.
