Yoga in India
It is not too late to sign up for the next yoga trip to India
LEAVING NZ 27TH NOVEMBER 2017 – 14 DAY JOURNEY
A guided yoga adventure is a wonderful way to travel somewhere you wouldn’t normally go alone. Our yoga journey allows you to take part in yoga, meditation and adventure in extraordinary locations.
The philosophy of each trip is about finding yourself in locations that are inspiring and transformational. Each tour is tailored around specific destinations, so they are fresh and evolving. This leaves plenty of time for adventure!
What people say …
It was an amazing trip. Love it and loved our group. We all shared something pretty special and I’ll remember it forever. – Steve
We both loved the group and thank you to all of you who made it such an amazing and memorable adventure. Special thanks to you Ali, who without, we wouldn’t have had the experiences that we did – Kim
I thought we were a good group to travel together and experience so much. Thanks, Ali, for all your efforts and for sharing a small part of your India life with us. We are very lucky! — Liz
A typical day will include:
- Morning yoga, or evening meditation in amazing locations
- Hiking to temples and sacred locations
- Enjoying fresh juices, vegetarian food and healthy living
- Shopping for treasures in great markets and bazaars
- Relaxation time to recharge energy levels and refresh the mind
- Fun group interactions about interesting aspects of the trip
Some locations in India are a carnival of colour and wild experiences, whilst others will provide a quiet journey for nourishment and relaxation. En route there will be regular opportunities to see different cultures, and live in the moment. This journey is about developing self awareness and embracing the dynamic world of far off places.
healthy vegetarian food
Guided yoga trips are a great opportunity to visit somewhere you wouldn’t go alone, while still having the support from people you trust.
Day 1: Delhi – Arrive and acclimatize to the hectic vibrancy of the capital city!
Stay in the heart of Delhi and visit the Main Bazaar. Shop for pashmina scarves, silver jewellery and hand-made sandles. Eat at one of the famous ‘pure vege’ restaurants: cheap, cheerful and delicious!
Day 2: Haridwar – The relaxing morning trip by train to Haridwar takes about 5 hours. This journey gives us the opportunity to see the rural beauty of Northern India. The en suite rooms at the guest house are spacious and the staff are friendly. After lunch, we will visit Birla Ghat and put a leaf boat offering in the river. This journey allows us to experience real yoga.
DAY 3: Mansa Devi Mandir – Haridwar We will do yoga in the morning then head up to Mansa Devi temple by foot. This famous temple overlooks the whole of Haridwar and the views are amazing. This temple sells heavenly perfumes and beautiful jewelled malas. We will come down by cable car which gives great views on the way down. Then, we will explore the main bazaar for pearl and crystal necklaces, sacred bling, and music cds etc. Followed by a visit to Maya Devi Mandir – a wish-fulfilling temple. In the evening we will visit Harkipuri Ghat.
Day 4: Rishikesh After morning yoga we will explore the wonderful town of Rishikesh! On this visit we will shop for yoga gear, catch up on emails, buy exquisite jewellery, get a massage, or eat great food. Then we will wander down to Ram Jula, sit by the Ganga on the white-silver sands and absorb the divine setting.
Day 5 – Adventure! We will go on a day’s adventure up to the stunning wilderness beyond Rishikesh. This is a day to be remembered, such a beautiful adventure!
Day 6: Your choice – relax in Haridwar or come on another amazing adventure! Ali’ teacher will be our intrepid guide on another wild adventure. We will visit the stunning Kali Caves and stop into the local temple of Neelkund.
Day 7: Haridwar – Morning yoga and a visit to the river will be followed by a day to finalise shopping, packing, looking around and saying farewell to some warm generous people. In the evening will take part in the aarti at the temple, or visit Harikipuri Ghat, a vibrant place of international pilgrimage.
Day 8-13: Varanasi – Join us on the next leg of the journey to Varanasi one of the oldest cities in the world. We will spend 6 days exploring this wonderful town and going to local Buddhist town of Saranath.

Eco goddess – by Ali Hale Tilley
Here is a copy of my latest painting. The narrative of the eco goddess ties in themes of politics, food production and profit-making. The notion of ecological wisdom does not just include the natural world, but also the ‘unnatural’ world of genetic engineering and the ‘supernatural’ world of sun cycles and deep space weather. The eco goddess is a figure that reminds us to lead green lifestyles and to be socially responsible in our choices.
This painting has been donated for the Greens’ Art Auction in Palmerston North, supporting local candidates Thomas Nash and Robin McCandless and the Greens 2017 election campaign.
The auction takes place on Friday 1st September 2017 at the Taylor-Jensen Gallery, George Street, Palmerston North. The Auction starts at 6.00 p.m.
This painting has a reserve of $100 (an is not nearly as vivid coloured in real life)
Yoga during the school holidays
The NZ Yoga Centre in Marton is running a full timetable of yoga classes during the school holidays. If you have not visited us yet then it is time to put your trackie bottoms or leggings on and get into your down dog! 20 Stewart Street – Marton
No need to be able to touch your toes to do yoga. Yoga is about combining bodily movement with breathing and mindfulness. It’s a great way to become fit and healthy!

Guru Purnima 2017 – Sunday 9th July
The lunar event of Guru Purnima is a worldwide celebration where yogis, students, and teachers all gaze at the mid-year full moon – a symbol of deep wisdom and inner-reflection. The full moon acts as an intermediary, spiritually and psychically connecting the wisdom and blessings of the teacher or personal guru with students or sādhakas.
Join Ali Hale Tilley from 5 pm -7 pm in a full moon meditation blessing. Ali will be sending empowerment to students and yogis via the full moon light on Sunday 9th July.
If you would like a special blessing on Guru Purnima email Ali at nzyogacentre@gmail.com or sadhanayoganz@gmail.com. Or receive a blessing from Ali in person by calling (06) 327 4108.
