Sharanagati Yogahaus

Simply magical. I call Varkala “my happy place” now strictly due to the wonder experience I had at Sharanagati Yogahaus. This unique yoga experience was spent within the walls of Hari’s beautifully handcrafted tropical jungle. Daytime was filled with birds, butterflies, tropical flowers and yoga, and at dusk graceful fruit bats soared overhead. Accommodation was brilliantly beautiful and comfy. The food was delicious and very healthy - many ingredients picked from the garden. The yoga routine was good for a yoga practitioner like me, and the newbies alike. My yoga companions were people from all over the EU, staying at the haus as well (which made the experience even more comfortable - no outsiders, just us). I met some new friends from around the world that week, and a few months later I’m still thinking of something Hari would say when I’m feeling stressed or lonely: “Breath in, and know that you are.” Thank you Hari.

The best yoga retreat experience me and my friend have had so far! The Yoga house's location is very easy to reach and it is really close to the central station. The rooms are spacy and comfortable, very well blending in with the beautiful garden. The house itself offers great communal atmosphere, too! We've met many beautiful souls there and we've had a great time with our Yoga Master - Hari. The house offered us super delicious vegetarian food each day of our stay! All locally sourced, fresh and healthy! And the most important thing - the classes, led by Harry, we simply incredible! Unlike other places, where they teach you only how to perform the asanas, those yoga sessions were concentrating a lot on the thoughts, which was simply mind-healing! We consciously tried (and still do!) to be more PRESENT, more NOW, more HERE. For those who like to do yoga by the sea, or simply sunbath - the house is few minutes walking distance from a very beautiful calm beach of Varkala. Our experience was simply amazing and we will come back! Thank you a lot, Hari!!!
