For the rest of your life

Yoga Retreat at The Hermitage!

An authentic Yoga Retreat including Ayurvedic treatments, delicious vegetarian food, and healthy drinks.

Yoga is an indispensable aid to good health and a natural and enjoyable way to bring your mind, body, and spirit back into balance. Increasing numbers of people are finding that a simple yoga routine can add hugely to one’s enjoyment of life.

Here at The Hermitage, we are fortunate to have the opportunity to practice yoga in the most beautiful and tranquil natural surroundings: a nourishing tropical garden dotted with graceful coconut palms and cooled by balmy breezes from the Arabian Sea.

Our yoga classes take place in two locations. The Patanjali Yoga Hall overlooks the beach and is built of wood and stone. Light, spacious and airy it sits at the south of the site, offering fine views of the ocean while providing a settled and tranquil atmosphere lulled by the sound of the waves. Alternatively, the Garden Yoga Terrace, which also fronts the sea, is an ideal venue for out-of-doors practice nurtured by the enlivening energy of sunrise or the calm of a spectacular sunset.

"The greeting in Neeleshwar set the tone of the coming week: it was warm, professional, calm and had an understated attention to detail that meant you could completely relax into the arms of the place. Neeleshwar is beautiful, superbly run and the best place I have ever visited for recharging a weary body and mind. By the end of the week I felt 10 years younger."
