I went on a 2 week Yoga Adventure tour of India hosted by Ali from Sadhana Yoga NZ. The tour took us to Delhi, Haridwar and Rishikesh, onwards to Varanasi and finishing up in rural Barsana. Ali guided us through the whole trip with a deep understanding of the spiritual side of what we were experiencing and helped provide added meaning.
Ali ensured that although we started as relative strangers we formed a strong group and Ali help encourage us all to support each other and by the end of the trip we were all very closely bonded yogis.
India is an assault on all senses and it’s good to ensure you have downtime – Rishikesh was a peaceful place that encouraged a slower pace and stiller mind. Varanasi was fascinating with a wonderful old town of winding lanes full of hustle and bustle. The rural tranquillity of Barsana was a great end to the trip and it was where I found great spiritual connection.
I recommend this trip for anyone that is considering their first trip to India as Ali will ensure you are safe and well looked after while also encouraging self development and growth. It is a great trip for anyone that likes a little adventure such as sleeping on a train platform or eating exotic foods. If you are looking to deepen your spiritual practice or understanding of yoga in a breath taking setting this is the trip for you.
