It's time to plan for yourself a well deserved break. You can escape the coming cold European winter to join me the last week of November 2016 for an affordable 8 days/7 nights Yoga, Meditation & Ayurveda Retreat in Kerala, India.
Update: This is a past retreat and it was fantastic. If you would like to know more about it you can read My Experience Running My First Yoga and Meditation Retreat. If you would like to book another retreat at Hinterland Village you can simply visit Bodhhi Ayurveda Yoga Retreat.
Yoga, Meditation and Ayurveda are some of India's greatest gift to humanity, and they combine perfectly with each other to create a holistic system for self growth, purification and healing, and we are putting them all together here to create a fantastic retreat for you. Starting November 23rd till November 30, 2016.
You will detox your body with ayurveda. You will strengthen, stretch and relax your body and mind with yoga, and you will attain some peace of mind with meditation.
But it's not only going to be a fantastic week; you will also learn everything you need to learn to continue with your yoga and meditation practice at home. Isn't that a worthy investment?
After the retreat is over you could decide to travel around Kerala, perhaps in the company of some of your new yoga buddies that you'll meet during the retreat. So make sure you keep some holidays for November.
We haven't met before? No problema, I have shared my whole path in this blog so with a bit of reading you can easily get to know me. I suggest you start with the "About me" page. You can also read what others are saying from my previous retreat (you can read the full reviews in MarcoPinoYoga):
"As a complete beginner, I was a bit nervous about what I was letting myself in for. Marco was very patient and devised interesting routines perfect both for me and the more advanced participants on the course. He was very calm and approachable, and his voice has a tone which I found perfectly suited to creating a good atmosphere in which to practice." James, UK.
"We had three yoga classes a day with Marco and the classes were well balanced between action and relaxation. It was great that Marco always took time to explain what we were exactly doing and why. He was taking extra care also for people who had health issues or pains in certain parts of their bodies and always offered variations (also due to the fact that we had more experienced people in the class and also very beginners) so nobody felt like the class was too easy or too hard." Emma, Germany.

Ayurveda
Ayurveda is a holistic healing system from India developed several thousands years ago. It uses mainly diet, herbal treatments and massages to bring the body, mind and spirit to a state of balance, naturally preventing the development of diseases or removing any present illness.
- You will start the day with different cleansing treatments
- You will have an appointment with the ayurvedic doctor to identify what treatments are more suitable for you according to your body constitution
- Every evening you'll receive different types of body massages, face massages and/or steam bath.
Yoga

- Every evening at 16:00 we will have another 1 hour 15 minutes session plus a 15 minutes meditation practice.
- As a side effect of practicing yoga you will develop strength, stamina and flexibility and by the end of each practice you will feel completely relaxed

Meditation
The main purpose of this retreat is that you learn everything you need to learn to start and continue with a regular meditation practice at home.
