Our holidays are ideal for single travellers, couples or friends and are suitable for all levels of yoga experience. This can be a time for reflection, a way to deepen your practice, meet like-minded people and discover a new part of the world.
We know that lives can be busy, so we aim to give you a break from the day-to-day routine, as well as time to relax, reflect and enjoy a new culture. We will look after you from the time you arrive at Trivandrum International Airport until it’s time to catch your flight home.
We offer two yoga classes each day, one before breakfast and one in the early evening before dinner. We provide a generous Western-style breakfast each day, and other meals are taken in the friendly local cafes and restaurants nearby.
You’ll find plenty of time to enjoy the locality between yoga classes, and with two free days in the middle of each holiday, you can explore further afield – or simple stay put and relax.
We organise taxis and rickshaws to show you temples, villages, beaches, festivals, elephants, birds, markets, and to experience the Kerala way of life. The state capital city, Trivandrum, just 30 minutes away, is also a favourite for shopping and sight-seeing.
We rely on our principle drivers, Prem and Hari who between them manage and organise all our transport needs.
For the two yoga-free days there are a choice of trips, including an overnight boat journey through the tranquil Kerala Backwaters. See village life taking place from the comfort of your houseboat as you glide along rivers and through lakes and lagoons, alive with birds and wildlife.
Other popular destinations include the Southern Tip of India, Kanniya Kumari; a visit to the Wooden Palace of Padmanabhapuram; an Elephant Rehabilitation Centre, and the tea plantations at Ponmudi Hills.
If you would like to book a holiday, or simply find out more, we’d be happy to help. You can email Diana direct, diana@kailasamyoga.co.uk or telephone +44 (0)1362 683616.

My first encounter with yoga was in 2000 in India where I went travelling for a year. I completed a one-month long yoga course and I was then convinced that this is what I would like to be doing the rest of my life.
It took me a decade to realise that I should actually teach it and returned to India to complete my Yoga Teacher Training Course, which enabled me to change my life completely. Since then Yoga is an integral part of me and I strive to continually learn. I teach from the heart and only from personal experience. It is an honour to share this ancient science and art with others.
Every day I feel the need to take some time for myself and practise yoga. It feels my mind connects with my body and they really communicate in and amazing way together. It allows me to really listen to myself (body, mind and soul). I am able to fully understand my body, by knowing what it really needs. Also I learnt to really communicate with my mind and it gave me the ability to stop the conversation for a while, making place for inner peace, letting myself enjoy good energy and the beauty in each thing.
My training and teaching experience allows me to combine traditional Indian Yoga styles with a contemporary western approach to authentically help guide others to find their own love for, and benefits from Yoga.
My teaching is spontaneous, light-hearted and I aim to adapt to meet the energies and needs of the group.
I am deeply connected to the spiritual aspects of Yoga, but I also know that to tame your mind and find the still and small voice inside, you need to start with the physical body and perfect your asanas (postures).
I am also offering Ayurvedic Massage which is a very relaxing and soothing massage with a cleansing effect.
I also offer Private yoga classes in the comfort of your own home or in my private studio.
