A Trip to India—and Back to Yourself
Imagine a week in the peaceful oasis of Varkala, where the sound of the ocean meets the deep tranquility of South India.
Yoga. Community. Healing. Transformation.
This retreat is more than just a break. It’s your very own personal journey to India, and I’ll be with you every step of the way.
I’ll be there to support you right from the planning stage—with tips on flights, visas, packing lists, clothing, and everything else you can expect in India. This way, you can embark on your adventure well-prepared and with a sense of security.
Through daily yoga, breathing exercises, mindfulness workshops, and guided meditations, you’ll reconnect with yourself and your own rhythm. Our shared practices invite you to calm your nervous system, recharge your energy, and reconnect with yourself more mindfully.
A Special Place to Call Home
Our retreat takes place in a traditional family home in Kerala that’s over 100 years old. Lovingly preserved and full of history, warmth, and character.
Nestled in a peaceful, green setting, this special place offers space to breathe deeply, let go, and simply be. Here, time is allowed to pass a little more slowly.
Discover the beauty and culture of Kerala: Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the nearby Hindu temple, take a ten-minute walk to the beach, explore the idyllic backwaters on a group outing, and immerse yourself in the vibrant traditions of South India through kirtan and creative workshops.
A Community That Brings Us Together
You’ll share this special experience with a small group of women. Together, we’ll create a safe and supportive space where you can simply be yourself.
It’s about genuine connections, mutual support, shared laughter, deep conversations, and the special power of female community.
Every day, you’ll enjoy freshly prepared, traditional dishes from Kerala—full of flavor, cooked with love, and designed to nourish both body and soul.
Between our shared activities, there’s plenty of time for you—to relax, reflect, journal, or simply savor the moment.
Your journey. Your rhythm.
Surrounded by the warmth and hospitality of Kerala, you’ll feel supported, welcome, and accepted—just as you are.
This retreat invites you to find peace, discover new perspectives, and regain confidence in your own path.
Eight days filled with yoga, encounters, cultural experiences, and mindful moments.
I’ll guide you personally—from your initial questions about the trip to our final farewell in Kerala.
You don’t have to discover India on your own. I’ll share with you my experiences, my love for this special country, and the places and people that have made Kerala a second home for me.
Your journey back to your own rhythm begins here.

Book### Food – Fresh, Mindful, and Prepared with Love
During our retreat, you’ll enjoy freshly prepared vegetarian meals every day, cooked with lots of love and care.
Our cuisine is guided by the principle of **Ahimsa (nonviolence)**—the respectful and mindful treatment of all living beings.
The meals are balanced, nutrient-rich, and designed to strengthen both body and mind. Lunch is the heartiest meal of the day, while dinner is intentionally kept lighter to aid digestion and promote restful sleep.
We prioritize fresh ingredients, natural flavors, and simple, nourishing cuisine that will replenish your energy during your retreat.
**Vegan options are also available.** We’re also happy to accommodate individual dietary needs and food intolerances whenever possible. Please let us know your preferences in advance so we can make the best possible arrangements.
Your Retreat Schedule – Time for Yourself, Yoga, and Community
Arrive, let go, and recharge—in a safe circle of women, surrounded by the tropical beauty of South India.
Each day begins with yoga, pranayama (breathing exercises), and meditation. Our program is complemented by shared practices, sound healing, kirtan, and mindful group activities.
In our workshops, we focus on self-reflection, personal growth, letting go of old patterns, and building self-confidence. Group excursions also give you the opportunity to explore the nature, culture, and traditions of Kerala.
There’s always plenty of space for you. Our daily schedule combines group activities with intentional periods of rest, so you can find your own unique rhythm.
On the last day, we’ll wrap up our retreat with a gentle yoga practice and a closing circle together. The program ends around 11:00 a.m., and check-out is available until 2:00 p.m.
