Surya Kriya,
a yogic reset
Four days inside the Western Ghats, built around the sun. A complete immersion in Surya Kriya, the ancient solar practice that aligns body, breath and inner energy with the rhythm of the sun.
A package designed to give you a complete, unbroken experience of Surya Kriya, not a class, but a way of living for four days.
Surya Kriya is a powerful, ancient yogic practice rooted in the sun, surya, the sun, and kriya, an inner energy process. Done as a daily sadhana, it activates the solar plexus, the body's centre of vitality, and brings warmth, clarity and stability to the system.
Set deep in the forests of the Western Ghats, away from screens and schedules, your days here move with the light. Mornings open with practice, afternoons unfold into nature, and evenings settle into stillness, so the reset happens not just in a session, but in the whole rhythm of the day.
Twenty-one steps,
one continuous flow
Surya Kriya is a precise sequence of 21 steps, postures and breath moving as a single, flowing process. Performed in stillness and order, it tunes the body to the sun and balances the energy channels that run through it.
Each round of the cycle is the same path the sun takes, rising, holding, returning. Over four days, that path becomes familiar in the body.
Vitality & warmth
Activates the solar plexus, generating heat and energy that carries through the whole day.
Balanced energy
Harmonises the two major energy channels, bringing the system into a state of samat prana, balanced life energy.
Strength & flexibility
Builds spinal strength, joint mobility and steadiness through deliberate, held postures.
Mental clarity
Steadies the mind and sharpens focus, settling the nervous system into calm alertness.
Hormonal balance
Supports the endocrine system and metabolism through its effect on the core and breath.
Inner stability
Cultivates emotional steadiness and resilience, a grounded centre you can return to.
Where the practice lives“The sun rises over the same ridges your breath will follow.”
A few honest words,
so the fit is right
This immersion is built to do a few things really well, and to deliberately leave out the rest. Worth a read before you book.
It's for you if you
- Want a genuine reset from the pace of everyday life
- Are curious about yoga beyond exercise, its inner, energetic dimension
- Can commit to a steady morning practice across four days
- Enjoy forests, spring water, simplicity and slower living
- Want to leave with a complete practice to continue at home
It won't suit you if you
- Want an intensive yoga teacher-training certification
- Expect a city resort with a full spa menu and late-night service
- Want every hour scheduled with a curated activity at every turn
- Need fast, stable wifi for full working days
- Are looking for a beach holiday or a party scene
The immersion,
day by day
Each day moves with the light, arrival and ease, then practice morning and evening, then the forest's own meditation, then completion. The sun grows warmer as the days go on.
Arrive, and exhale
The first day asks nothing of you but to slow down. The forest sets the pace, and the evening's first meditation begins to quiet the system before the practice ahead.
The practice begins
With the body rested, the Surya Kriya practice begins in earnest, twice a day, morning and evening, so it can take root and the foundation is set.
Refine and ground
The cycle steadies. The day balances a refining morning practice with the forest's own meditation, held outdoors among the trees.
Completion, carried forward
One last sunrise practice brings the immersion full circle, and sends you home with a complete process to continue on your own.
What the forest offers
The practice is the spine of these four days, but the place itself does half the work. Eight reasons the reset runs deeper here.
