The Golden Sands and Silvery Backwaters of South India tour, February 26 through March 11, 2012 is a yoga-focused journey. The leader, Padma Stewart, is an internationally renowned yoga and meditation teacher with an impressive level of knowledge in Eastern practices.<\/span><\/p>\n

The tour includes plenty of time for hatha yoga, breathing exercises, Sanskrit chanting, meditation, philosophy and other yogic techniques. Padma also offers private, one-on-one consultations.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to Cochin where our journey begins, and Chennai where our journey ends, some of the highlights include:\u00a0 Munnar, a confluence of three mountain rivers — Mudrapuzha, Nallathani and Kundala, a lovely hill station situated in the western ghats and nestled in the midst of cardamom, tea and coffee plantations;\u00a0 a Backwater Cruise amongst a microcosm of flora and fauna and serene village life;\u00a0 a four-night Yoga & Meditation Retreat at a lovely Ayurvedic resort set on 14 acres of lush green land overlooking the blue sea and soft golden sands on the shores of the Arabian Sea.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of my favorite places in South India is the incredibly ancient city of Madurai, with its Meenakshi Temple, where I was blessed by a sacred elephant.<\/p>\n

Kanchipuram, the Golden City of a Thousand Temples is one of Hinduism\u2019s seven most sacred cities, and Mahabalipuram is a World Heritage Site where you can see depictions of the great epic Mahabharata.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a guaranteed departure and as it is a small, intimate and lovely group, this is a very unique opportunity to study with Padma and go deeply into practice and experiencing South India at its best. The deadline to book is January 31st and you will need a passport that is valid for at least six months, and a Tourist Visa for India (allow 1-2 weeks to process). Vaccinations are not mandatory.<\/span><\/p>\n
