YOGA, BREATHWORK AND TRANSFORMATION IN HOLY INDIA
A HEART & SOUL RETREAT
14 - 20 JANUARY 2024 | VARKALA, INDIA

IMG_2842.jpg

Join Debbie & Steffi for a 7 day transformative retreat in India's 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 only known because of its natural beauty but also has 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 over the last few years. It is a perfect place to immerse yourself in yoga and breathwork to achieve transformation, healing and lasting happiness.


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

We would like 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 each other and our special place. We want to take you on a journey, but its up to you how deep you want to go...


We will have twice daily yoga / breathwork practices plus an early morning meditation. One day we will hold a "conscious connected breathing" breathwork workshop which will guide you deep within and holds the chance for transformative healing. We will also plan a trip with you one afternoon to explore Kerala's beautiful backwaters.
