Yoga Retreat in India
Join Catherine Annis for a week of fun energising and relaxing yoga in Southern India.
We stay in Cherai Beach, a rare blend of exotic India combined with soothing retreat centre, set between the famous Keralan backwaters and the Indian ocean.
Dive deep into your yoga practice, breathe, meditate and unwind. Spend your days lounging at the beach, swimming in the sea or the pool, indulging in ancient Ayurvedic treatments, visiting local temples or ashrams, or get caught up in one of the myriad local festivals. This is the perfect introduction to India: the food is simply amazing, and our local guides and insider knowledge make it a truly a magical trip. Suitable for all levels.

Catherine Annis is well known for her imaginative and practical approach to yoga. Originally a professional dancer, she discovered yoga as a teenager, and has been practicing for more than 35 years. Having explored Sivananda, Iyengar, Ashtanga and various forms of Hatha yoga, she eventually gravitated to the teachings of Vanda Scaravelli.
Catherine’s practice and teaching focuses on deepening physical awareness and alignment to reveal the natural freedom of the body, particularly the spine. She is an attentive and thoughtful teacher, and highly skilled at adapting poses to accommodate all levels and types of students, so that everyone leaves class feeling that they have made a fresh discovery about their yoga practice. She is a member of the Triyoga teacher training faculty and teaches weekly classes in London. She also leads retreats at various locations in India and Europe, and created the first Scaravelli inspired immersion course, which is held annually, and is regularly invited to teach workshops throughout the UK, and internationally.
"You are the best yoga teacher I have ever had, and I love your mixture of a very thoughtful and intelligent approach to yoga with a light touch and sense of humour. You also seem to be genuinely interested in your pupils - it's not all about you."
Amanda, long term student
Scaravelli inspired yoga is a gentle yet demanding form of Hatha yoga, which concentrates on developing core strength through releasing tension thereby helping to free the spine's powerful natural flexibility. Classes are exploratory and develop sensitivity and awareness, helping to create a clear understanding of the musculo-skeletal systems. Suitable for all levels, from beginners to advanced. Particularly helpful for those working with postural or spinal issues.
