TESTIMONIES
“This was an AMAZING trip. I knew it would be a brilliant yoga retreat because Pradeep is a master when it comes to sharing his yoga practice and encouraging us on but I hadn't expected to see so much of the natural beauty of Kerala's beaches and backwaters, temples and ashrams. We were looked after incredibly well; ate beautiful food and stayed in fantastic accommodation. I would recommend this India adventure/yoga retreat/sightseeing trip to anyone.” — JEN
“How often does an opportunity arise to explore India with a teacher and friend who was born and raised there. This retreat offered many facets of the gem of India. Practicing yoga and ayurvedic medicine together, exploring the culture and beauty of the south, a warm homestay with Pradeep's family, the culinary magic of indian food and chai, the beauty of 'organized chaos' and most importantly all the tolerant and kind people we met. This was a true experience of a lifetime.” —THERESE
“2 weeks in India was just what my life needed! I traveled to India as a solo female on a mission to practice my yoga, what I found was instant family within the group and I never felt alone. Pradeep's practices brought me new challenges daily and a deeper awareness within my own yoga journey. The food was amazing, the resort was perfect with a beach to die for, the houseboats on the backwaters of Kerala were idyllic and Pradeep's side adventures were each well curated. I've had a hard time sharing this trip in words with friends and family since returning because it is truly something you experience in your mind, body and soul. I will be traveling again with Pradeep, hopefully annually and hopefully with some of my new friends as a reunion tour!” —SARAH
