About Yoga & Wellness Retreats
Why I Hold These Retreats
Yoga isn't just poses for me - it's a way to shake off all the heaviness that piles up in life. We all get stuck now and then. My retreats are where you get to pause, breathe, and maybe remember that light, free feeling you had as a kid.
What Makes These Retreats Different
This isn’t just about doing yoga on a pretty beach and taking Insta pics. I create spaces for healing, proper self-discovery, and laughter. The best part? The community. People actually connect here - with themselves, with nature, and with each other. Our group really does start to feel like a family.
Where It Happens
Mostly, we host these in Varkala, Kerala. Picture golden cliffs, the sea, and salty air. Sometimes, we go international - like Sri Lanka - with equally chill, beautiful vibes.
Types of Retreats
- Healing & Empowering: Focus on letting go, finding personal power, and emotional release workshops.
- Monsoon Magic: Seasonal Varkala retreat - think chai, rain, ocean sounds, and slowing down.
- International Escapes: More playful, lots of community wellness experiences, and sometimes acro yoga on the sand.
- Deep Dives: Yin Yoga 7-day immersive nature yoga retreat; mix of learning and personal reset.
What a Day Looks Like
Sunrise yoga, fun stuff like aerial or laughter yoga, deep Yin or Nidra, breathwork, sound healing, and even ice baths. We eat local, healthy food together and end up sharing stories and laughs.
What Guides Us
Everything is about cleansing - mind, body, even the way we express. As they say: Yogena chittasya padena vacha malam sharirasya cha vaidyakena. (Yoga for the mind, words for expression, medicine for the body.)

My Story
We’ve been on this yoga journey for 12 years now, starting in Jayanagar, Bangalore, and now soaking in the Varkala sea breeze. Yoga for us isn’t about being perfect – it’s about real people, wobbly poses, laughter, and those quiet moments that sneak up on you. Our Aayana Family is all about coming together, whether you’re a kid just finding your feet or a senior discovering new strength. This place is home, where you move closer to joy and your own rhythm.
