A Yoga Adventure to Tamil Nadu
and Kerala with Stacey and Swami

A trip to India is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and Stacey and Swami are so excited to offer this trip to South India! We will start in Chennai and head east, visiting the famous temples throughout Tamil Nadu then continue on to the relaxed vibe of Kerala to slow down and enjoy some time in nature.

This journey begins by visiting ancient temples of Tamil Nadu rarely frequented by westerners. You’ll have the opportunity to participate in rituals that have remained unchanged for centuries. Spend time with the people of Tamil Nadu to get a taste of village life, and visit some of the artisans that use century old techniques to make their handicrafts.

Then experience the best of Kerala–trek in the hills overlooking the tea and spice plantations for which India is so famous. Enjoy a night’s stay on a houseboat on the tranquil backwaters, and visit the historic city of Cochin. Complete this incredible journey with a few days of Yoga and Ayurvedic treatments at a gorgeous beach resort on the Arabian Sea. 

Everywhere you go, you will be immersed in the best of Indian culture and learn how history and tradition meld with modernity in this rapidly changing, and yet ancient, nation. Throughout the journey you will experience dance and music performances, cooking lessons, storytelling, and of course, yoga practices with Stacey.

Stacey and Swami, who is a Tamilian from Kerala, have organized this trip based on their personal experiences with the people and places of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. We have arranged for the most sought after guide in India to facilitate this incredible adventure. The trip is planned for February when the weather in South India is at its best. On this spectacular tour of South India we’ll have VIP service on our air conditioned bus and everything will be taken care of for you so you can simply immerse in the experience.
