The Location

The Yoga Shala is set in virgin surroundings.  Kerala is the greenest part of India and much so is Varkala as the south west monsoon starts here.  The Yoga shala is nestled in between coconut and banana plantations.
Varkala is characterized by wide, clean roads and friendly people who always welcome you. Varkala is drug free and party free.  Accommodation is 5 min walking from the Shala and the ocean is 10 min walking from the accommodation. 
Varkala is probably one of the most beautiful parts of India.  Doing a training here is far superior particularly if you wish to avoid noisy, crowded, polluted & overpopulated places of India such as Rishikesh, Mysore or Goa. ​ 
The transit time from the international airport to the Yoga Shala is Just one hour when compared to Rishikesh (9H) & Mysore (5H). We are located around 700 M from the ocean.  The Shala is also easily accessible to many restaurants, hotels and guest houses, fruits stores, convenience stores and supermarkets.

Featured Program:  200 Hour Yin Yoga & Meditation TTC
