The experienced Yoga teachers at Ananda are trained to understand your personal objectives and goals during your stay at Ananda and beyond. They will then design a specific yoga and meditation programme for you to assist you through your journey of life, balancing your being and assisting you to achieve health and well being.  Ananda is also rightly famous for its superb spa and the numerous wellness programmes it tailor-makes for its guests. Oh, and the incredible mountain scenery!

Shreyas provides a blissful combination of authentic yoga with modern luxury. It’s a beautiful, calming oasis – lush gardens set around a vast serene pool with a stunning open yoga shala.  Yoga is expertly taught with grace and spirituality (if wanted) – and you can enjoy one on ones, group classes, and early birds can join the staff for their morning meditations. The small spa offers delicious ayurvedic treatments which heighten your blissed out state.

SwaSwara believes in the wellness of the mind, spirit and body.  Their Yoga Gurus will gently lead you into a recognition of the power of yoga and its relationship to the soul and body.  If Yoga is a concept you don’t understand yet, they will take joy in initiating you.  If you already revel in the good life, then you have found the perfect place to experience the familiar and go further on the pilgrimage.  SwaSwara is located on the coast and also offers guests an impressive array of Ayurvedic wellness programmes.

A former Maharaja’s palace, this is a romantic and uplifting place to undertake a proper two week programme of India’s ancient holistic system of health, Ayurveda.  The minimum stay here is two weeks, the time that Kalari Kovilakom say is required for ayurveda treatments to have any real effect. Most people have a ‘panchakarma’, or general ayurvedic rejuvenation programme. The yoga focuses on slow, focused stretches in the Bihar School of Yoga’s Satyananda style.

Located just outside Kovalam, in a quiet location, Surya Samudra is a 22 all suite eco-friendly resort set in expansive tropical gardens . This delightful boutique resort is perched high on top of the cliffs overlooking two almost private white sand beaches.  It’s a wonderful destination for a relaxing, rebalancing holiday and the opportunity to immerse yourself in ancient Ayurvedic wisdom and treatments, and enjoy daily yoga classes overlooking the Arabian Sea.
