Travel can be exhausting. Those long plane rides, non-stop sightseeing, walking everywhere, getting lost… what is a yoga enthusiast to do??
Well, since you asked…There are lots of yoga tours around the world that are available but I like this one in particular:
Witness the famous Snake Boat Races of Alleppey, "the Venice of the East," from a canal boat.
The Yoga & Spirituality Tour of South India is a 16-day tour designed especially for people interested in yoga. You’ll begin or end each day with a yoga session led by the certified Hatha Yoga instructor, Michelle Labelle, who has been studying meditation and energy work since 1996 and has spent 16 years as a Respiratory Therapist.
Places you’ll stay: If you don’t think that daily yoga is enough to enrich your Indian travel you will also be staying in some unique places, such as a home set in a coconut grove, a houseboat, a 17th century Dutch fort and some luxury beachfront hotels.
Some places you’ll go: Some of the holiest and most ancient Hindu temples including “The Golden City of a Thousand Temples,” or Kanchipuram, the experimental Utopian community of Auroville, many ashrams including the Aurobindo Ashram, and a tiger reserve which is renowned for its rare and endangered plants and animals.
So don’t keep to solid ground just because you don’t want to break your cycle of rejuvenation. A little break and that long plane ride is worth it to practice yoga in the place of its birth.
This is where you could be doing Yoga
A quick quote from the president of the company, Helen Tomei:
“This tour was designed to utilize yoga to open the seven major energy centers of the body so participants can feel rejuvenated and reborn. Practicing yoga in the place where it was born — the vibrant cities, lush rainforests, scenic beaches and serene gardens of South India — will lift our spirits to new heights, so we can feel at one with the universe and our authentic selves.”
