with Ratheesh Mani

Join us to India and experience the heart of yoga. We will take you to beautiful Kerala, southern part of India. Here you will be receiving true deep knowledge of Yoga and Ayurveda. You will have the opportunity to experience India in a unique way that is often hidden from travellers. Through out this days you will be served vegetarian ayurvedic food to create lightness into the body in order to help the body to open up like a flower. RATHEESH MANI Ratheesh was born and raised in a small village in Kerala, India. From age 9 he apprenticed his Grandfather in the practice of traditional Ayervedic medicine, Kalarippayattu (ancient art of »being«) and Hatha yoga. By age 13 Ratheesh would routinely treat people all over his village. At 15, he gave up his entire earthly possessions, left home and lived as a Sadhu which literally means giving up the pursuit of pleasure, wealth and power. As well for Ratheesh it meant healing people he met in his travels through his skills in Yoga. Eventually he ended up in an Indian mountain monastery in HImalaya studying to become a Hindu priest. At age 21, having spent his whole life dedicated to healing and understanding the body, Ratheesh’s skills were soon recruited by yoga schools around the world. Thus he has spent the last 10 years traveling to share his knowledge. To date he has taught in Malaysia, Sweden, Maldives, Micronesia, Switzerland, France, Spain, Finland, Norway, Luxembourg, Bahrain, Germany, and the United States among others. Largely self taught, what Ratheesh offers his students often transcends the art of asana and goes much deeper into yoga as a way of healthy living. WAYANAD
