"Land of 1000 Smiles" Yoga and Ayurveda Tour

This beautiful yoga vacation, hosted by Annemaree Rowley, Principal at Cool, Calm and Collected, will allow you to retreat to that ‘quiet space within’ from where you can create ‘who you want to be’ and attract ‘what you want to have.’ At the same time appreciate what India refers to as ‘God’s own Country’. Experience the majesty and warmth that emanates from this richly designed tapestry known as Kerala and witness the thousand smiles that radiate from its wonderful people, the Keralites.
Kerala is in Southern India forming part of the south-western coast. Kerala is also called Malanadu, or ‘country with hills’. Malayalam, which denotes the land as well as the language, means ‘a country of hills and waves’. The region is internationally renowned for Ayurveda, India’s 5000 year-old system of natural medicine; a system that is endorsed by the World Health Organisation. In Kerala winter is normally October to January and the temperature drops a little. The weather will rarely rise above 32º; with a minimum temperature at sea level of 20º and so loose, light, comfortable clothing will be all that you need.
“For the discerning traveller - something exquisitely exotic, stylish, unique and nurturing. You will enter the realm of the senses and experience…..Charming characters and magical environments; stylish and distinctive 'heritage' hotels & deluxe resorts; culinary courses and gastronomic adventures; gentle yoga and deep relaxation classes; profoundly-soothing therapeutic massages and treatments; galleries and mystics; cultural awareness and fun-filled adventure” - Annemaree
