This is the perfect option if you would like to stay as flexible as possible and allows you to take classes spontaneously as you feel on the day. This means you can join in as few or many yoga classes as you like - all included in the price of the accommodation. We have at least two classes daily, seven days a week from November through to April.

The Ocean shala is right in front of the sea, providing spectacular views and great sunsets. The perfect location means there is always a refreshing breeze so the tropical temperatures never become unbearable for yoga practice.

Classes are also held on the Hanuman shala, located next to a sacred mountain. This deck has a more earthy, nurturing energy and there are beautiful views of the surrounding countryside and the distant Western Ghats.

The schedule changes regularly in order for guests to experience different styles of yoga with our different resident teachers. All our teachers are highly trained and adapt the class to the personal needs of each pupil. Beginners, intermediate and advanced students are welcome. Classes are held exclusively for guests staying at Lotus Yoga Retreat in order to keep numbers low and class quality high.

Styles of yoga taught include Ashtanga, Hatha, Dynamic, Vinyasa, Flow, Sivananda, Kundalini and Iyengar. Each class includes yoga asana, meditation and pranayama.

You can of course also make full use of all the facilities at Lotus Yoga Retreat.
