India is a dream destination for many yogis, but with so many choices – ashrams, teachers, regions – designing your dream voyage can be daunting. Christa has been planning a small group retreat since returning from her first trip to India in 2017. While there, she was able to expand her network and cultivate truly unique excursions based on her personal experiences in this holy place. Whether you are looking for a yoga and cultural tour or a yoga teacher training course in India through Adhya Yoga, we want to help guide you on that journey and share our love for this beautiful country and the life-changing practice of yoga.

True India

The culture of India refers collectively to the thousands of distinct and unique cultures of all religions and communities present in India. India’s languages, religions, dance, music, architecture, food, and customs differs from place to place within the country, often labeled as an amalgamation of several cultures, spans across the Indian subcontinent and has been influenced by a history that is several millennia old. Many elements of India’s diverse cultures, such as Indian religions, philosophy, cuisine, languages, martial arts, dance, music and movies have a profound impact across the Indosphere, Greater India and the world.

Yoga in India

Yoga (Sanskrit योग; pronunciation) is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in ancient India. Yoga is one of the six orthodox schools of Hindu philosophy. Yoga gurus from India later introduced yoga to the West, following the success of Swami Vivekananda in the late 19th and early 20th century. In the 1980s, yoga became popular as a system of physical exercise across the Western world. Yoga in Indian traditions, however, is more than physical exercise; it has a meditative and spiritual core. Many studies have tried to determine the effectiveness of yoga as a complementary intervention for cancer, schizophrenia, asthma, and heart disease so it is very important to learn about Indian culture in order to learn yoga. Yoga in India with cultural and spiritual knowledge will give you a pure and positive feeling.
