"Exploring the Roots of Yoga" 14-night/14-day Southern India Tour
January 8-22, 2011
This is it! Your opportunity to visit India!
Kate and Jim Coughlin are honored to be your hosts and guides on this 14-night/14-day exploration of the roots of Yoga in Southern India.
We will spend the first week of our tour at the newly created Yoga Nikaya Retreat center in Tamil Nadu, India. This facility was designed and erected in 2009 specifically for Yoga Praveena H.S. Arun to conduct special yoga retreats. In September of 2009 the facility was dedicated by Mr. B.K.S. Iyengar (pictured). All yoga classes at the Yoga Nikaya Retreat Center will be conducted by Master Arunji. We will spend the first half of our trip in the secluded privacy of the retreat center, surrounded by it's natural tropical beauty and lush gardens. Here you will be able to focus inwardly on your own practice in the quiet solitude of the Yoga Nikaya Center.
The second week of our tour we will stay in Jayanagar, Bangalore and practice at the Prashant Yogashraya facility - which is located at the home of Master H.S. Arun. Jayanagar will be our departure point to experience the "Roots of Yoga" as we visit various spiritual temples and sites in and around the Bangalore area.
We will also experience the culture of India today. Bangalore is known as the "Silicon Valley" of India as a result of many high-tech jobs and companies located in the area. There is a bustling "young-up-and-coming" India class that is into Bollywood fashions, partying at dance clubs, and the latest in movies and music. We will experience it all!
