Winter sun yoga holiday in Kerala with Judy Hirsh 

2013 dates coming soon...please contact Judy for more information.

Yoga, breathing & meditation in superb beach resort with ayurvedic spa. Relax by India’s serene backwaters with sunsets over the beach. Time out to rediscover your radiant self with dedicated teacher Judy Hirsh 07956 375 607.

This year we are back in the fertile land of Kerala, known to the locals as ‘God’s own country’. We just can't keep away from this resort and we are offering a 7 night and 10 night option if one week is not enough. The fabulous resort itself is near Cochin and is exquisitely landscaped with lagoons and canals meandering around the en-suite cottages, with clean long beach at the front and serene backwaters behind. The sun rises over the line of palm trees on the backwaters where fishermen in their small fishing boats are already silently at work. The beach is the place to be not only for swimming and spotting the occasional dolphin, but for the beautiful sunsets over the Arabian sea.

Yoga and related practice sessions take place in a traditional coconut leaf thatched area or in the meditation platform overlooking the backwaters. The yoga itself is designed to enhance the experience of being in the most beautiful natural surroundings with wide horizons and clear waters. Practices include hatha yoga, pranayama breathing, relaxation, meditation, yoga nidra and restorative work including pair work and reiki - when we slow down and quieten the brain, we have the time to notice and rediscover ourselves again. The increase in strength, stamina and strength is more of a well-earned bonus rather than a major aim.

TESTIMONIALS

The whole week was memorable and full of images and smells and bright colours, warmth and sunshine and lovely people.


The Yogaunited team couldn't have done more to help us. The whole week was magical, thank you.

I loved the resort and the staff couldn't do enough for us. The food was delicious - despite all the warnings about food in India, not one person was ill.


I didn't have to think about anything as it was all taken care of. I felt I was in very safe hands.
