Deepen your practice:
It is a gift to commit to a week of daily yoga and meditation, and still have time to rest and explore. The morning and evening practices frame each day; in between, you have time for the beach, the pool, your treatments or simply doing nothing under a tree.
The classes suit all levels, from beginners to experienced practitioners looking for a slower pace and a deeper connection to themselves:
Slow Flow yoga – Hatha and Vinyasa based, slow but with elements of strong
Yin yoga – long holds that work with the fascia and calm the nervous system
MediYoga – mantra and breath to go deeper
Meditation – turning towards the inner world
Pranayama – yogic breathing for calm
Your teachers:
Jenny and Elin have been friends since year 2000, when they both lived in New York.
Jenny Berglund Castro is the founder of Home in Yoga, a yoga and healing studio in Stockholm. As a yoga teacher and healer, she guides people to find their breath, calm the nervous system and experience what happens beyond the physical. She mainly teaches slow flow yoga, yin yoga, meditation and sound healing.
Elin Jonsson has practised yoga for nearly thirty years. Her journey began with dynamic Ashtanga and has grown into a Hatha-oriented practice in which pranayama, MediYoga and meditation play a central role. Her passion is sharing yoga in a way that is both accessible and inspiring.
Where we stay:
Lumuma is a small eco yoga village on the cliffs of Varkala, on the south-west coast of India. It is run by a Danish-Indian couple, Tiné and Prasshant, and their team, who will know your name and needs from the day you arrive.
We stay in Bodhi cottages, built with natural materials, each with air conditioning, a private bathroom and terrace. The rooms are shared double rooms with separate twin beds in each.

Ayurveda:
Ayurveda is India's traditional system of health, more than 3,000 years old, and Kerala is one of its homes. It sees each person as a unique balance of three energies, the doshas: Vata (air and space), Pitta (fire) and Kapha (earth and water).
During the week you meet Lumuma's Ayurvedic doctor for a one-hour consultation about your constitution and current balance. You also receive three (3) 60-minute Abhyanga massages, a warm-oil full-body treatment that calms and nourishes. If the doctor recommends a different therapy for you, it is available at an incremental price (you pay directly to Lumuma). You take home simple advice on food and daily routines.
Havan fire ritual:
A Havan is a traditional Vedic fire ceremony for purification and intention-setting. We share it as a group during the week.
PAYMENT:
Price: EUR 1,990 per person

Getting there:
Fly to Thiruvananthapuram International Airport (TRV), about one hour by car from Lumuma. Arrive in India on Saturday February 6 2027. India is 4.5 hours ahead of Sweden in February.
Please book a refundable airline ticket should there be any unexpected changes for the retreat (we have a minimum number of guests required)
Check in at Lumuma on 6 February and check out on 14 February. If you want to arrive early or stay longer, Lumuma could possibly offer extra nights, but you would have to check with them directly
Airport transfer: Lumuma arranges cars from TRV, about 1.5 hours and costs INR 2,200 per car one-way for up to three people, paid on site. Send Lumuma your flight times and they will help coordinate.
Kochi airport (COK) also works, but the drive is longer (4.5 hours and about INR 8,500 by car one-way). We hence suggest Thiruvananthapuram International Airport (TRV).
We look forward to welcoming you to India.
