10 day / 9 night rejuvenation and detoxification retreat in the ancient birthplace of Yoga.
For many Yogis, a visit to the birthplace of Yoga is seen as a rite of passage. To experience for yourself the first home of these truly potent ancient wisdom practices is something you’ve likely dreamed of, or at least considered at some point throughout your Yoga journey.
A Yoga Corner retreat to India has been in the works for many years. We’ve just been waiting for the right time (and waiting out the small inconvenience of a worldwide pandemic). After many popular and divine trips to Bali on sold out retreat experiences, we are absolutely convinced that our community is now ready to take the leap into all that wondrous, majestic India has to offer.
And so, in January 2026, we will finally journey together on retreat to beautiful Kerala in the south of India where we will combine the potent healing practices of Yoga + Meditation with the complementary and holistic, ancient science of Ayurveda.
This rejuvenating, healing retreat, led by Yoga Corner Founder Amy Leonard-King takes place at the multi-award winning Kairali Ayurvedic Healing Village, well away from the hustle and bustle of India's major cities.
Before we embark on our Ayurvedic Healing Journey we spend two nights in Fort Kochi just 45 minutes from the international airport. There will be a full day to explore this eclectic neighbourhood at your leisure including the lively spice and antique market and local art scene. After meandering the well-preserved colonial streets on foot or by rickshaw we finish our day taking in an unforgettable sunset. For dinner we'll be feasting on Kerala's signature curries with new and old friends.
Kerala, has been touted as 'God's own Country' and is a part of India not to be missed - abundant with herb and tea plantations, scenic beaches and breathtaking backwaters.
Ayurveda uses nature to bring you back into balance using food, yoga, meditation, herbs and therapeutic treatments and has been practiced for thousands of years in both the treatment of all illnesses and conditions, as well as preventing disease by keeping your body, mind + spirit in a healthy, balanced state.
People travel to India from all corners of the globe to experience the profound healing that Kairali can offer, and the Indian people themselves come also to restore balance, health and inner harmony.
Don't miss this opportunity to take a transformational journey with us and uncover radiant holistic health through all that nature and ancient wisdom has to offer.
