BOOKING INFORMATION

Price is based on twin share accommodation. Please see room options below –

1. Bring a travel buddy and share a room.             2. Ask about  the Private Room Supplement  available on Retreats so you can have your own heavenly room during the Retreat.               3. Come solo and be paired up with another solo traveller – subject to availability.    

                                                                                                          Payment plan is available  for every Retreat 

1. You will  take your yoga to the next level. 

Practicing yoga regularly can be challenging if you have a busy schedule. But when you’re on a retreat, chances are you’ll have 2 classes offered a day, which will ensure your progress and you will see the positive effects more quickly.

2. You will get a new perspective. 

Going to a new place creates an opportunity to see the world, and yourself, in a new light. Experiencing the unknown is an accelerated way to grow and learn.

3. You will  *actually* meditate. 

When you have extended free time, it’s a lot easier to meditate. No phones buzzing or boss reminding you about deadlines. On retreats, it feels a lot more natural to breathe deeply and be present in the moment.

4. You will detox digitally. 

One of my favourite things about a retreat is shutting off my technology. While lots of resorts have wifi, you don’t feel the need to constantly tweet, text, update Facebook or call friends. It feels good to unplug.

5. You will relax and de-stress. 

Sometimes we have to be far from home to give ourselves the permission to truly relax. Being on a retreat allows you to listen to your body, rest when you need it, and be free from stress.

6. You will eat well without having to do all the work. 

If your retreat is all inclusive, you get three healthy and delicious meals a day without the need to find recipes, go grocery shopping, prepare the food, or clean up. Getting the nutrition you need has never been easier. All the work is done for you.

7. You will replace old habits. 

The best way to break a bad habit is to replace it with a new healthy one. When you get out of your regular routine for a week, you can replace unhealthy habits with conscious new behaviors that support you in being your best self.

8. You will  make new friends. 

Undeniably, you will meet individuals with similar interests. Even if you go alone (which I did my first time), you have a chance to make friends with people from around the world who you might know for the rest of your life.

9. You will appreciate home. 

While a week in paradise is always nice, we often come home with a refreshed appreciation for life. You feel happier, healthier, and re-energized to jump back into your routine with new vigor. Heck, it might even feel fun.

10. WHY?  Because you deserve it! 

Thoreau said: “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you’ve imagined.” While this quote might be on your refrigerator, chances are you make excuses about why you can’t YET. Often times the excuses are about money, time or circumstances but guess what, you deserve a break. You work hard for a reason and you can always find reasons why you should or should not do something. The key to happiness is deciding what you really want and making it happen. 

“People wait all week for Friday. All year for Summer. All of their life for happiness. What if you could have it now?”

No excuses !!!!!!

You deserve to invest in yourself.

India’s Quiet Magic  🧘‍♀️✨

There’s a particular kind of silence you find in India.  

Not the absence of noise,

there’s always a scooter buzzing somewhere, a rooster announcing the day, or the hiss of chai hitting a hot pot — but a deeper kind. 

A stillness that slows your breath. 

That pulls you out of planning and into presence.

We often speak about the bucket list moments, the temples, the train rides, the food, the festivals. 

But there’s another kind of magic woven into every journey: the slow moments. 

The unplanned ones. 

The ones that don’t make it onto an itinerary but leave a lasting mark anyway. ✨

A morning spent sipping sweet chai on a quiet veranda.

An afternoon beneath a palm, doing absolutely nothing at all. 

An evening watching the world go by with no need to be anywhere but here.

Jan is a big believer in the art of doing nothing, and it’s intentionally built into every trip.

Because for so many of us, 

life is full of doing.

Full of lists, responsibilities, and caring for others. 

So this space ~  this nothingness ~ becomes a kind of radical rest. 

A gentle rebellion. 

A chance to tune back into your own rhythm, without anyone else’s needs in the mix.

And here’s the thing: 

those slow hours, those unscheduled pauses? 

They’re not just restful, they’re transformative!

They’re where clarity sharpens and joy sneaks in.  

Where you remember how to be, not just how to do.

So if you’ve been feeling stretched thin, or like you’ve forgotten what it’s like to just sit with yourself 🧡

Come and experience the power of no plans.

I will  be right here, saving you a seat in the shade.🌴

What will happen if I get Covid 19 whilst travelling?

We suggest contacting you travel insurance provider straight away and isolate. 

Each country has its own rules regarding this. We  will provide you with the in country information you need and to see a qualified medical practitioner where possible.  We will also assist you with accommodation and any other needs you may have at this time, however your travel insurance provider will also assist you. Your travel insurance provider should cover medical, isolation and cancellation costs if you test positive to COVID-19. Check your policy on purchase and discuss this with them. They may also pay your resumptions costs to re-join the group once you are better depending on the duration of the tour and the length of time you test positive for.  We can assist with the logistics of this. You will also need to check requirements to re-enter your country of origin.  From the 17th of April 2022 Australian resident do not need a PCR test to re-enter Australia.  Pranayoga  will always support our guests  to ensure they are safe and feel supported.

First time guide to INDIA 

First time guide to India 🇮🇳🧡🙏🏿

India is a feast (and occasionally a full-frontal assault) for the senses. 

While every visitor will take away something different from this fascinating country, going in with a few simple things in mind will help first timers navigate their encounter

 🇮🇳 Go with the flow

Not everything in life goes to plan. Embrace this simple fact, and you will get so much more out of your trip. Things may not necessarily run exactly on time or schedule, and India is large even by Australian standards. 

The traffic and occasional infrastructure hiccups can mean travelling both near and far may take a little longer. 

To avoid burning out, or toppling a delicate itinerary, prepare to be flexible, invest in travel insurance and consider enlisting the guidance of a professional who will know how to take things in stride.

🇮🇳 Get ready for the gaggle

It’s one thing to read Indian population statistics but it’s another to experience them. India’s cities are a limitless resource for keen people watchers, but personal space can be hard to come by at popular tourist attractions, and foreigners might draw curious stares (and surreptitious photographs). Queuing etiquette, for one, is a bit more flexible – if you don’t cosy up to the person in front, you might lose your place to someone bolder. 

A sense of humour is invaluable, and the more you take in stride, the less attention you will garner. 

There are also moments of great serenity to be found, whether it’s watching dawn from a quiet ghat, wandering the shaded halls of a 

Mughal fort, or cruising a sleepy river through palm groves.

🇮🇳 Be curious and courteous

Like any country, India has a deep cultural undercurrent that could take a foreigner a lifetime, or more, to understand. 

Picking up a few basic customs, however, will serve you well. 

For instance, pointing with your finger or foot is especially uncouth in India and the left hand is seldom used for eating or passing objects 

(it’s traditionally reserved for taking care of business in the bathroom). 

While social mores are changing, dress expectations for women remain quite conservative. 

Outside of Goa tight or revealing clothing is a rarity, and a light shawl is always good to have on hand. 

A few local phrases, such as dhanyavaad (thank you), will never go amiss.

 🇮🇳 Feast not famine

Yes, food safety is important for any traveller to keep in mind but Indian cuisine is one of the most vibrant and varied on the planet so depriving yourself would be a sin. 

If in doubt, exercise the usual logic: crowds of locals are a good sign, always opt for fresh-cooked and lean on the expertise of those in the know such as local tour guides. 

The standard of vegetarian food is high, so if you would rather err on the side of caution and skip meat (sometimes a good idea when power outages may impact refrigeration), it’s hardly a sacrifice.

🇮🇳 Strike out of the cities

Mumbai and Delhi are dizzying in the best of ways, but for a glimpse of a different side of India try to get out into the countryside. From verdant southern India, where water buffalo lounge in rice paddies and the pace slows to a sleepy rhythm, to the deserts of northern Rajasthan where camels plod by the roadside, rural India rewards the explorer. 

🇮🇳 Shop up a storm

India is a treasure trove for one-off souvenirs so arrive with a little spare room in your suitcase. 

From vintage Bollywood posters and colourful trinkets to precious silks and ornate jewellery, the wonders to be found in the markets, bazaars and boutiques of India are never ending. Enthusiastic hagglers will find plenty of excuses to hone their skills in the right setting (it’s not really appropriate in fixed-price stores), but it’s not worth losing your cool over a matter of cents. If you plan to invest in something valuable, take your time and use your head – if the price is too good to be true, it’s probably not genuine. 

🇮🇳 Watch out for rickshaw or taxi drivers offering a discount if you agree to a quick detour to their ‘favourite emporium “

🇮🇳 Be quick on compassion, but slow to reach for the wallet

Poverty in India is often visible, and pint-sized beggars can be very distressing. 

But with primary education free throughout the country, children should be in school, so your spare change might do more harm than good. 

Many Indian nationals are often the first to caution against relenting to begging, which can operate as rackets in busy urban centres. 

Be wary too of accepting anything foisted upon you on the street as a ‘gift.’ Even something as innocuous as a flower or bracelet may come with an expected fee if you take it.

🇮🇳 Get lost (but not too lost)

With a little common sense on your side, wandering the streets of India will reveal sights that will stay with your forever. 

Thanks to the wonders of modern technology (namely GPS), it’s nearly always possible to find your way. 

When it comes time to return to home base, many taxi drivers don’t speak English so have your hotel marked on a map and try to memorise a nearby landmark. 

🇮🇳 I can’t wait to share this incredible adventure with you 🇮🇳🧡

Traveling opens up wonderful opportunities to meet new people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. 

Whether it's fellow yogis, locals, 

or expats, these encounters often lead to meaningful connections and enriching experiences. 

The people you meet on your journey can offer unique perspectives, share stories, and create lasting memories, making travel not just about the destination, but also about the journey itself. 

We embrace these encounters 

with an open heart and an open mind, as they can often be the most cherished aspect of your travel experiences.💕🙏🏿🧘‍♀️
