Retreat in Indien in English:

Yoga, Breathwork and Transformation in holy India – a heart & soul retreat!

January 12th til 18th 2025 in Varkala, Kerala, India

Details:

Join us for a 7 day transformative retreat in Indias tropical South. As soon as you’ll arrive in Varkala, you’ll feel the unique energy of this beautiful little town by the Indian Ocean. The beach here is not also known because of its natural beauty but has also religious significance. It is believed that a dip in the waters here will wash away all your sins. Apart from that Varkala developed as a prime destination for yoga in India throughout the last years. It is a perfect place to immerse yourself in yoga and breathwork to achieve transformation, healing and lasting happiness.

Your hosts

For us Varkala is definitely our happy place! We met here 7 years ago and have been many times. Its our home away from home and we are happy to show you this place we love so dearly and our secret spots ;-).

Debbie is a passionate yoga teacher, 500 hrs qualified, sharing the benefits of yoga with others and helping her students to find greater balance, peace, and well-being in their lives. Her compassionate and non-judgmental approach creates a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere that allows students to feel comfortable and supported. Whether you are new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, Debbie’s classes are sure to leave you feeling energized, refreshed, inspired, and your heart smiling. Being from Indian descent yoga is in her DNA .

Steffi is a 200hr yoga teacher who did her TTC with Pranam Yoga Joseph in Varkala back in 2017. She is also a Reiki Master and Breathwork Instructor. Her passion is the transformative healing work. Being on a healing journey around the world for several years herself, she loves to guide others along the way. In Germany she is a full time Reiki Practitioner giving Reiki session and Reiki courses as well as holding Breathwork workshops and retreats.

The retreat location

You will stay at Inda Hotel, the exact place that we have been staying for years. The owners are our Varkala family and we wouldnt let you stay anywhere else. The cosy rooms have an own bathroom with shower, a comfy Queen bed, AC and a little terrace. The hotel features the among travellers well known Inda cafe with delicious fusion food for breakfast and dinner. Its situated only a short walk from the Varkala cliff where you find shops, restaurants, cafes and stairs down to the wide sandy beach.

The retreat

We want to offer you a very special programme – a heart & soul retreat. Why heart & soul? Because we both went through a lot of transformation here. We cried, we laughed, we loved, we were desperate, we were happy, we went to heaven and hell…but we had us and our special place. This is what we want to take you on a journey on but its up to you how deep you want to go :-).

We will have 2x daily yoga / breathwork practices plus an early morning meditation. One day we will do a „conscious connected breathing“ breathwork workshop which will guide you deep within and holds the chance for transformative healing. We also plan a trip with you one afternoon to explore Keralas beautiful backwaters.
