About this selection

Varkala's dramatic red laterite cliffs above the Arabian Sea have attracted yoga teachers and seekers for decades. The most concentrated yoga scene in Kerala. Ayurveda in Varkala is not the spa-Ayurveda of European wellness hotels. The practitioners here follow clinical protocols: pulse diagnosis, constitution assessment, and treatment programmes designed around your specific needs. October is one of Varkala's best months for retreat — Kerala's climate is at its most conducive to outdoor practice, the crowds are manageable, and teachers report that groups arriving in October tend to go deeper than at other times of year. It's a popular booking month, so plan ahead.
