“To be nourished by the healing art of Ayurveda, combined with deep daily prana flow practice is a precious gift every yogi should experience. Every layer of being felt full of vitality and a deep peace that exudes from the swaying palm trees and the constant soundtrack of ocean waves. To experience the ritual and reverence of south India, with Shiva as our guide in the motherland of yoga has enriched my understanding of the teachings and of myself.” – A.N.

“I had been waiting for years for just the “right” invitation to visit India, and the one from Shiva/Yogadventures was IT! I am so glad that I had my inaugural visit to India with Shiva and the tribe. They showed me parts and places of myself I was not aware of. I had a deep uncovering of layer upon layer each day of the retreat. Shedding so much, unraveling so much, day by day becoming more and more authentic with myself. In India it is hard not to unfurl your precious self, but with the guidance and experience of Shiva, it was truly a blessing and an experience I will always treasure” – K.R.

“To experience Shivaratri Festival in Varanasi was a long-held dream and in reality it was one of the most rich and awe-inspiring initiations of my life! To be immersed in the culture and celebrations as they have been for thousands of years will stay with me forever, a privilege for any yogi to behold. A wild ride into the heart of real Shiva Shakti worship!” – L.S.
