Why here

Why Train in Kerala?

Ayurveda's historic heartland — train in the state where yoga's sister science has been practised for centuries; the food, rhythm and climate all carry it.
Varkala's cliff coast — one of India's most beautiful shorelines, minutes from your mat.
The most affordable of our Indian campuses — the 200-hour starts at $1,350 early-bird without changing a line of the syllabus.
Easy travel — Trivandrum International Airport (TRV) is about an hour away; e-Tourist Visa covers the course, invitation letter on request.
The same school standards — identical syllabus, Yoga Alliance registration and certification as our Rishikesh home; only the setting changes.

We are humbled by them
