For communities wishing to combine practice and relaxation with an enriching journey through Central India. The beach and cultural sections can vary in length; the sequence below is a proposed itinerary.
THREE REASONS TO CHOOSE THIS ROUTE
What makes this journey special
01
Yoga and the ocean at the start
Several days in South Goa allow classes, seminars or meetings for your school before the transfers begin. The group leader determines the practice format; beach relaxation remains a distinct part of the journey.
02
Several eras of Central India
From Ujjain's temples we move to the Buddhist heritage of Sanchi, the cave monuments of Udayagiri and Bhimbetka's rock paintings. The itinerary provides material for cultural and educational discussion.
03
The Narmada: Omkareshwar and Maheshwar
Sacred temples, riverside ghats and Maheshwar Fort bring a different landscape to the final days. Time for temple visits and possible rituals is agreed around participants' interests.
