Anahata Healing Arts Center

This is a wonderful place for all those who are the happiest when in nature. Away from the hustle and bustle of our routine lives, this is a place where you can just BE. The people are warm and loving, the food is light, organic and delicious and the surroundings are peaceful. There is ample space for those who want to practise yoga and meditation or one can just sit and observe the many birds that can be seen in and around the property. You can have great conversations with Kiran, fellow travellers and some of the elders in the community.There is a small school right next to the aashram where one can volunteer to teach English or arts and crafts etc. The kids are adorable. All in all this is great place and an amazing experience.

Anahata Healing Arts Centre is just a piece of heaven on earth. I feel totally honoured to have been able to spend time here with Kieran and his team. The village is situated in the lush farmlands of the rural south. Not long after my arrival did I learn that Kieran is a beloved member of the community and is on a mission to allow healthcare and healing to be accessible to anyone! How amazing! The centre holds a space of absolute serenity and peace where you are able to simple be and connect (or reconnect) with nature, furthermore yourself. The food is purely delicious and nutritious and I was spoilt with evening teas and fresh morning coffee. What can I say, I left feeling renewed, light and free- full circle of healing. Kieran was kind enough to take me on a day trip to visit a highly regarded monk a short drive out from the village. The monk lives among the coffee fields and coconut trees and I feel totally blessed to have been able to spend time with him and his team and experience these once in a life time opportunities! This centre deserves all the love it receives and the people are a humble representation of this and the culture. Highly recommend supporting this incredible team and their vision.

Anahata healing arts center, thanks for its far-away-from-city location is the place where people can ultimately experience he peace of India countryside. The center is located close by to the lake which is home of different bird spices, easy to spot at anytime of the day. It's a lovely natural environment where to smooth the soul and get connected to the nature around and about. Please, consider to stay for at least few days to get he full connection feeling- mr Kiran (yogi and Ayurveda practitioner) and the rest of the community crew will delight you with life insights, delicious organic veg meals, fresh organic fruits from the farm of anahata. Hope you'll enjoy as much as I did :)

Anahata was an authentic Indian experience for us. This is responsible tourism at its best. Kiran has opened a centre for handicapped children; his dedication to them and the progress that the children have made is truly inspiring. With its idyllic lakeside setting, Anahata is a peaceful relief from the chaos of the well-worn tourist circuit and a perfect introduction to authentic Indian village life. Simple, mindful living is the core philosophy, and the week we spent there on two separate occasions was marvelously life-affirming - celebrate the sunrise around the fire, yoga in the banana grove shala, coffee in the village, fresh organic breakfast, and interacting with the children and elderly who Kiran has taken in.

Perfect place for self reflection and slowing down. Vibes tranquil living and healing. This place is more than a healing center, it's a community that aims to provide and serve. Kiran who runs the place with his team is one of the most generous people I've ever met. He strives to develop his village and is a great visionary. The whole Anahata team is lovely and made us feel right at home. Thank you for your energy and love.

A truly one of a kind place. The love and joy is palpable as soon as you arrive. Kiren is man on mission to bring this love into the world. It’s such a beautiful family to be apart of and I can’t have asked for a better experience!

Kiran is a perfect example of someone who has absolute faith in the universe. Without knowing how or what was going to happen he created a healing space with the wish to serve others. Out of that Anahata Healing and Arts Center was born. The center has a different meaning for different people. I like to call it a human sanctuary, since anyone who comes will heal in a different way. It is now evolving into a space for special needs people to be freely themselves and to heal in the process. Whatever happens through Kiran’s enormous heart and undeniable faith I am certain this is only the start of something great.

It was a pleasure to stay at the Anahata Healing Arts Centre in Ravandur. Kiran welcomed us very warmly, and he and his staff were very considerate of our needs throughout our short stay. They truly went above and beyond. At Anahata, Kiran has created not only a peaceful place for guests to rest and rejuvenate, but also a beautiful and loving community space for individuals who would otherwise be quite isolated. Our time at Anahata was both restful and inspiring - I highly recommend it!

I had expected to go on a yoga retreat, but never expected it to be such a complete and mesmerizing experience. Idyllic doesn't begin to describe the location, including Anahata Centre itself and also the village of Ravandur, and the people who live there. There is such an air of peace, tranquility, inclusiveness and humanity about Anahata. I visited after travelling to Bangalore on business, and I could not have asked for a more healing and genuinely warm experience. I rediscovered the value of simplicity and genuine human kindness over the week that I was here. I have never experienced such hospitality and welcoming. I came away from Anahata feeling that I had been cleansed, physically and mentally, and feel that this has added a permanent joyous tint to my day to day living back in London. I could not recommend Anahata more to anyone who wants to re-connect to what should be the basic ingredients of harmony and kindness in life. Kiran has done such a wonderful job creating Anahata. Visit to enrich yourself and humanity!

When I used to read reviews from people saying that they want to come back again I was sceptical but here I am on my last day and already planning for my second visit. Kiran has built a wonderful and inspiring place for kids with special needs and for the community as well. The children get to learn and play in a spectacular place with breathtaking natural views. Some kids need special treatment like physiotherapy or a special massage and kiran is happy to provide all of that from his heart. My journey to India was specifically to visit Anahata healing centre and I have to say I am so thankful I did. Kiran put me on a detox programme and I particularly enjoyed the sunrise yoga and meditation sessions with Kiran. I even got to take some cooking lessons. All of these were provided in a homely and cozy place where you really leave all your materialistic and stressful life behind and get to experience the Authentic Indian Ashram life. What an inspiring person and such an amazing place.

Kirans teaching of yoga for me was amazing as I was a total beginner. It was a great stepping stone for me The team at Anahata are so friendly and kind that you would think that they are your family. It is a life changing experience.

Everything that happens, happens for a reason. I'm glad Anahata was my reason. The peace and humbleness of Kiran and everyone on his team humbled me. Thank you for giving me the love, experience, affection and energy to get myself back.

I have just returned from the most amazing experience of my life. Everything about Anahata is very very special. The founder Kiran works tirelessly designing, building and evolving his incredible project, a beautiful oasis of natural peace in rural India, this project exists to offer local disadvantaged, disabled and mentally challenged people a chance to heal, a chance to live in perfect harmony with an organic vegetarian diet mainly sourced onsite. Some come on a daily basis, some stay onsite. Yoga is a big part of life here, whether like me a first time beginner to the most advanced, all set in the most amazing natural space, and hosted by the talented yoga master Kiran. I honestly believe this to be one of the most beautiful, magical and spiritual places on earth, all the people i met here at Anahata seem very happy, from the gardeners, builders, cook etc and all work together in pure harmony. there is no set timetable to adhere to, do what you like when you like, interaction with the children is wonderful and taught me so much. I do not have one bad or negative thing to say about Anahata or Kiran (inspirational), if you are fortunate to be able to visit you will be dumbfounded by its natural beauty, and by the life and love it exudes. I feel honoured and extremely privileged to have been able to visit and to become a part of the Anahata family, I hope to return soon. Dear Kiran, thank you for everything, it was perfect.

Anahata Healing centre is a place to be in nature and ground yourself. I was welcomed into the Anahata community from the very beginning. I had a wonderful time experiencing Indian village life and resetting the body and mind in the beautiful grounds. Thank you Kiran my friend, I wish you all the best with Anahata's growth.

It is one of the those places where you can let go of your worries and simply connect with beautiful nature . It will take you back to your basics /roots which we forget once we enter this buzy life schedule. This place is situated just in the lap of nature. Fresh air and the pure organic food just got from the farms makes you feel at peace internally. Warm and lovely village people and hospitatilty shown by each individual there makes it home away from home.Over all, an amazing experience!!!1

Anahata is the kind of place that's hard to put into words, you'll only understand by experiencing it. I spent one week at Anahata and wish I stayed longer! Everything about the place is so special. The farm, the lake, the people, the village, the kids, the staff, the food and most importantly Kiran. Kiran is one of the most incredible people I've ever connected with. He is so selfless in all that he does and gives more than ever expected. Over the week I grew to see his spirit alive in Anahata, without him, his hard work and persistence it would not exist. Words will never express my gratitude for this experience. I reccomend all humans to experience this place for themselves, and become apart of the Anahata family. I will be back!
