The Invitation
Omesh & Shannel invite you to our Ayurvedic Yoga Retreat in Kerala, India.
Kerala, the homeland of Ayurveda, offers the perfect blend of tropical serenity, ancient healing traditions and soul-nourishing natural beauty, making it an ideal setting for deep rest, renewal and transformative wellbeing.
Our mission is to give you holistic rejuvenation through a variety of authentic Ayurvedic therapies, yoga, meditation, nourishing food and more. A chance to un-plug and re-charge, away from the hustle of your daily routine.
You will experience practices, tools and techniques that you can take with you after the retreat for your ongoing self-care, well-being and the greater good. And the chance to connect with like-minded, kindred spirits and make lasting friendships.
What Awaits You
The Venue
The award-winning Manaltheeram Ayurveda Beach Village is set along the Malabar Coast at the southern tip of India, where palm-lined shores meet the waters of the Arabian Sea. The venue features a collection of traditional cottages and houses, dedicated Ayurvedic treatment rooms, a swimming pool, and peaceful spaces to relax and unwind throughout the day. Guests should fly into Thiruvananthapuram (TRV) Airport, where a private transfer to the resort will be arranged. The journey takes approximately 40 minutes.
Nourishment
All meals are Ayurvedic, vegetarian, sattvic, and freshly prepared, designed to support digestion, balance, and overall wellbeing. The cuisine is gentle and not overly spiced, making it suitable for those new to Ayurvedic food as well as sensitive stomachs. You can expect a good variety of nourishing dishes, with some familiar elements appearing regularly throughout the retreat. This consistency is intentional in Ayurveda and supports the body's natural rhythms, allowing the digestive system to rest and reset.
Healing
Daily authentic and traditional Ayurvedic treatments are included as part of your retreat experience, with sessions lasting up to two hours and often performed by two therapists. A dedicated team of experienced Ayurvedic doctors and therapists will guide your journey, providing bespoke advice and personalised treatment plans following an individual consultation. All medicines and therapeutic products used are derived from organically grown medicinal plants, cultivated within the retreat gardens, ensuring purity, quality, and authenticity.
Practice
Each day you will be guided through morning and evening sessions, led by Omesh or Shannel. Classes are suitable for all levels and are thoughtfully designed to reflect our combined experience across a range of yoga traditions and philosophical teachings. Yoga is a holistic and spiritual discipline rooted in a subtle and ancient science, supporting harmony between body, mind, and breath. Meditation sessions invite you to turn inward, cultivating presence, clarity, and deeper awareness.

Yoga Vida Wellness
Shannel is a multi-disciplined practitioner of Yoga and Wellness of over 15 years, her passion extending to Ayurveda as well as skills in both Chakra and Theta Healing.
She grew up in East Africa, lived in the UK and now resides in Dubai. She has traveled extensively including stints in South America, Southern Asia, Central Asia, Australia and Bali as part of her spiritual journey.
She deepened her practice of Yoga in India, where she studied and qualified across the key limbs of Hatha, Vinyasa Flow, Ashtanga, Yin and Restorative Yoga.
Shannel further qualified in the specialisms of Children's, Pre & Post Natal, Women's Health Yoga as well as Guided Meditation.
Her life journey has brought her a profound exploration of spirituality, enriching her practice and teaching. The sudden loss of her father at a young age, coupled with other significant personal challenges, has deeply influenced Shannel's spiritual growth and dedication to wellness. These life experiences have fueled her passion for understanding the unique needs and strengths of individuals, particularly women, at different life stages. This passion drives her to create supportive and empowering wellness practices that foster both physical well-being and spiritual growth.
True Roots Yoga
Omesh grew up in Jammu & Kashmir, India, adhering to the central theme of Sanatan Dharma, following the principle paths of yoga ie Bhakti, Jhana, Karma, and Raja Yoga, more as a way of life without being consciously aware of it.
From early childhood he was fortunate to be surrounded by highly spiritual people and exposed to their philosophy of life.
Omesh had his first formal taste of yoga in 2006 when he was working in the corporate sector. Although he worked his way up in that world, he always felt it wasn't really what he wanted in life. He felt a strong connection to yoga, and it pulled him back into its sphere of influence when a close friend reintroduced him to yogic philosophy.
Although his studies in India adhered to the highest standards, he has lived in England for many years and understands that different cultures require modification of methods and techniques.
Omesh has been visiting India on a yearly basis, and over the years has attended many workshops organised by the Divine Life Society and the Swami Sivananda Foundation on Bhakti Yoga, Meditation and Ayurveda.
