Bodhi Ayurveda and Yoga Retreat

The quality of the yoga sessions and the kindness and hospitality of the entire team.

Parfait

L'accueil bienveillant et attentif du personnel, les cours de yoga, de méditation, de spiritualité, les conseils ayurveda du médecin, les repas végétariens... Tout est de qualité. Un grand merci !

The retreat exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment we arrive we felt so welcome & cared for. Unni and the team have a way of making it feel like home instantly. My partner & I have never done a retreat or much yoga before but we never felt out of place despite our lack of experience. The food was absolutely outstanding, every dish different & delicious. The session were well organised, interesting & catered for every experience level.

Honestly this place is unbelievably special & I will be returning regularly to this little paradise.

Thankyou so much to the entire team.

Unni and his team made us feel home from the first moment. It was our first yoga retreat and we didn't know what to expect. Everything is done with care, to the finest details. Time schedule leaves you some time to relax while offering many activities.

We will defintely stay longer next time!

I truly loved my stay at this yoga retreat. Everything was amazing from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, nourishing, and prepared with so much care.

All the people were incredibly kind, warm, and helpful — both the staff and the other guests. Together they created a wonderful, supportive, and welcoming atmosphere that made the whole experience very special.

I felt very comfortable, relaxed, and well taken care of, and I would definitely recommend this retreat to anyone looking for a meaningful and enjoyable yoga experience.

The gardens, the program, the food, the massages and wonderful other guests. It was all magical!. I learned so much and it was healing experience to be here.

The tailored approach to each person. Pratheesh explained the yoga positions very well. My practice has developed greatly because of it.

From the moment I arrived Unni and the team were so friendly and attentive. I felt very at peace staying with them and I highly recommend hinterland village. The food was delicious and the surrounding nature is beautiful.

They were professionel, organized and most of all the heartwarmth we were met with was overwhelming!

Les premiers cours de yoga avec Pratheesh, le rythme des cours à hauteur d'environ 3h par jour, la salle de yoga spacieuse et donnant sur la nature, les repas très bon et équilibré, le relationnelle de l'équipe avec les participants et leur sens du service excellent et l'environnement du resosrt fabuleux. La consultation avec un médecin ayurvédique permettant d'avoir un autre point de vue sur mes maux.

HINTERLAND is a truly amazing spot and beautifully run and organized. Unni and all the staff are attentive, helpful and caring. We had a totally wonderful stay there and highly recommend it.😀😀😃😃😃

Peaceful location, welcoming and attentive staff. Excellent yoga instruction and yoga philosophy from Saji. Delicious food and juices. Excellent value for money.

Unni makes sure that you are very well looked after.

A big ‘Thank you ! ‘ to all of the team.

I wish I could have stayed for longer.

Maybe another time !

With best wishes,

Diana

It was situated in a peaceful and serene area. There was a good amount of yoga. breathwork and meditation all delivered to a very standard. The food was delicious and the massage was amazing.

I love travering and have been to many places, but this was an experience unlike any other.

The wonderful organizer Unnisan, yoga instructor, fellow guests, natural surroudings, staff, and meals made me want to come back again.

My 3rd visit to Hinterland and it was just as magical as the other times. The owner Unni and all of his staff are wonderful. Very peaceful location and grounds. Amazing healthy, homegrown vegetarian food. Clean room, complimetary laundry. Excellent yoga and meditation classes. Do not hestiate to book!

Amazing atmosphere, the super friendly staff, delicious food, great, intensive yoga lessons, beautiful, peaceful landscape. Everything comes from the heart here..it's been such a wonderful experience and made me calm down and relax. I am very thankful to have found this place. Thanks to the wonderful host Unni and his whole team who make this place and the time you spend here you special.

Many thanks ....I hope I can come back!

Ik vond massages het leukst , zowel van de vrouwelijke masseuse, maar zeker de mannelijke masseur was heel goed , hij deed ook acupressuur erbij wat heel helend werkte bij mij

Unni and his team are utterly incredible, the whole place is a total haven and one I would thoroughly recommend. Everything about Hinterland, from the classes to the food to the gardens to the staff to the treatment was exceptional. It’s total tranquility and value for money. I arrived groggy and jet lagged and am leaving the most relaxed I have ever been.

Le cadre consacré à la nature et à l'essentiel. La nourriture vegan était un regal à chaque bouchée. La petite chambre au confort cosy. La qualité du yoga enseigné avec en complément, des cours sur la philosophie du yoga. Les différentes approches des méditations. Les massages bien sûr. Les pauses autour de la piscine. Les chaleureux soins que chaque membre de l'équipe apportait à chacun d'entre nous. Et enfin Unni toujours là, autant à l'organisation de nos journées que pour soigner nos maux.

It was a wonderful experience. The trestment they give is very personalised and they maie you feel at home. I already recomended it on social media. Can't wait to come back next year

La nature luxuriante. Les animaux. La salle de yoga. La propreté irréprochable des lieux.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the entire staff at Hinterland Village for making my stay a truly memorable experience. They give their best to create a magical and welcoming atmosphere. I am really looking forward to the next time, thanks a lot!

Le rythme des jours m'a permis de reprendre mon souffle, dans un cadre enchanteur et sécuritaire. J'y ai trouvé une paix intérieure, tel que promis.

Karen, la prof de yoga, a le timbre de voix parfait pour se retrouver immergé dans la pratique, en pleine conscience. Les bruits de la jungle masquent la ville autour, on se trouve dans un oasis de verdure.

The retreat was set in a beautiful green surrounding with lots of amazing noises from the wildlife, especially at 7am when the yoga started.

The food was excellent, all fresh from Unni’s garden. The yoga was an amazing experience, never to be forgotten. Yoga philosophy, meditation and super massages were also great.

My mum and I stayed for 10days during the monsoon season and honestly it was perfect! Not too hot and the sun was shining everyday. The instructors, all the staff and Unni are incredibly attentive and friendly. The food is beautifully cooked and the massages are wonderful!!

A fabulous experience, learning news skills and meeting lovely like minded people.

Thank you Unni and team!!

In my early 20s, I was widowed and lost every part of my self to grief. I arrived to hinterland barely a shell of who I was when my partner was alive.

I didn’t know how I would go about trying to find myself again. A friend suggested a yoga retreat so I jumped online just to have a look. I wasn’t overly commited to the idea but searching online wouldn’t bring any harm.

That’s when I stumbled across Hinterland. I had also been doing my own research back home on Ayurvedic medicine. A lot of my grief presented physically and I thought maybe Ayurvedic could help as most modern medicine doctors I saw, didn’t really know what to do with me.

So I booked the trip, not expecting much, as it was only 2 weeks and I didn’t think much could change in two weeks.

Oh boy, was I wrong. Hinterland and Unni have given me the foundations I needed to try find myself again. It hasn’t been some miracle cure and a lot of my problems still exist, but this experience has given me what I needed to work on myself again. To try find out who I am now and live along side my grief, instead of being consumed by it.

My first day was confronting and I spent most of it crying.

My last day was exciting and also confronting because of how much I had changed. All I want now is to continue the practises put into place back home.

Not to mention, the food is to DIE for.

Everything was absolutely perfect.

Thank you Unni, for giving me something to look forward for.

I will absolutely be back and for a lot longer!!!

Everything was amazing. The food was beyond incredibly, such nutritionally dense food. The yoga was great and I could see my flexibility improving throughout. The massages were truly therapeutic. A great time was had and wonderful people met.

The ease and peace. Our time at Hinterland was incredible - the classes, and learning, the Ayurveda considerations, massages and the healing food. What Unni and his team create is very special, a unique environment to experience all that is life.

Immediately upon arrival, I felt 10x peaceful. It’s the type of place where u don’t want to be on your phone because u would miss out on everything around you. Unni and the rest of the staff are so caring and attentive to each person there, I am so grateful for this experience and genuinely hope to return again in the coming years. Thank you for everything

The quality of yoga and instructors was the best I have experienced . Ayurvedic food was plentiful and delicious . Organisation of other activities ( massages / yoga philosophy and meditation )was first rate and overall the retreat was a fantastic experience .

Tout était parfait dans cette bulle de bonheur intemporelle. La nourriture était succulente et variée tout au long de notre semaine. Les cours de yoga d'un grand professionnalisme. Le staff au petit soins tout le temps et un grand merci à Unni pour son accueil. À refaire sur 10jrs min.

Mi reciente retiro en Kerala fue realmente excepcional. La combinación de yoga rejuvenecedor, ayurveda personalizado y un entorno encantador superó todas mis expectativas. Los instructores eran expertos, el alojamiento cómodo y las comidas a base de plantas deliciosas. Este retiro es un viaje holístico de auto-descubrimiento, dejándome una sensación de frescura y equilibrio. Muy recomendable para aquellos que buscan una experiencia de bienestar transformador en el corazón de la naturaleza.

Tout était très bien dans ce petit havre de paix. Les cours étaient excellents et nous avons pu avoir des cours pour débutant personnalisés au début du séjour.

Les repas étaient délicieux et équilibrés et variés, simple mais avec de bons produits.

Les massages faits avec professionnalisme étaient très relaxant. Un homme pour masser les hommes et une femme pour les femmes (rassurant)

La cerise sur le gâteau était la visite du jardin par le jardinier du village. Une vraie découverte de la faune et la flore locale.

Et dans l'ensemble, tous le personnel était très attentif et à l'écoute des résidants.

Nous recommandons !!

J’ai passé 10j formidables à hinterland, uni est une personne d’une bienveillance inouïe, aux petits soins et très disponible. Toute l’équipe est également merveilleuse, souriants et toujours soucieux de notre bien-être ! La nourriture est excellente et tres variée. Le lieu est très paisible, beaucoup de végétation, calme et on peut y voir de nombreux petits animaux (écureuils, oiseaux, papillons, oies, dindons, etc). Les journées sont bien rythmées au fil des séances de yoga, cours de philo, méditation, massages et autres activités proposées. Une véritable bulle intemporelle !

Cet endroit est magique, tout le monde est au petit soin, la nourriture excellente, les soins Ayurvedic adaptés à chacun. Vraiment une expérience magnifique à renouveler sans hésitation!! Merci à Unni et à toute l’équipe!! 😍

J'ai été enchanté de mon séjour, un havre de paix, le chant des oiseaux, le silence de la nuit c'est rare en Inde :)).

J'ai beaucoup apprécié les cours de Yoga avec Karen ainsi que les deux autres professeurs.

La nourriture est excellente, le chef est un artiste.

C'est un très belle endroit et j'y reviendrai avec plaisir.

Everything, thé care for everyone, thé food, thé yoga classes, massages. But especially, thé atmosphère of feeling at home.

La qualité de la prestation proposée à tous les niveaux

La beauté du lieu

Le professionnalisme et la gentillesse de tout le personnel

Le manager et propriétaire Monsieur Unni d une éthique irréprochable et aux grandes qualités de cœur qui sait répondre à toutes les attentes possibles et qui donne à cette retraite un caractère unique.

Lots of good yoga, yummy healthy food, relaxing meditation in a beautiful setting. Seeing all the food and spices grown in the property was a highlight. Unni also set up a Kerala backwaters boat trip and was very helpful arranging transportation.

Le centre en lui-même est incroyable : la shala est magnifique avec une vue sur le lever du soleil (on ne peut pas s'en passer), les maisons du centre sont superbes et offrent tout le confort nécessaire, tout est très propre, l'immense jardin aux mille plantes est hyper ressourçant surtout que les produits utilisés en cuisine proviennent exclusivement du jardin. Gros + sur le fait que Unni fasse fonctionner le centre grâce à des panneaux solaires. Concernant les cours de yoga, on revient aux bases de notre pratique avec une approche plus spirituelle (beaucoup de mantras, de méditation) et plus tradi (mêmes asanas, tenues longtemps).

Concernant le traitement ayurvédique, la prise en charge est assez complète : rdv avec Unni le directeur mais aussi un médecin ayurvédique qui se déplace spécialement pour vous voir, le yoga et la cuisine sont ensuite adaptés à vos besoins, les deux massages sont très agréables.

Le personnel est aux petits soins, très bienveillants et respectueux. Unni se donne beaucoup de mal pour que le séjour réponde à toutes nos attentes et s'investit dans le parcours de chacun. Le reste de l'équipe est tout aussi investi et c'est un plaisir de partager du temps avec eux tous !

- les cours de yoga, la philosophie et la méditation

- la cuisine excellente, bravo au chef!

- le personnel aux petits soins et tellement gentil!

Une bulle dans la nature hors du temps et de l’agitation.

Une nourriture exceptionnelle de qualité.

Un accueil personnalisé.

Une pratique intense.

When I first arrived at the retreat, I was so impressed by how much thought and heart went into creating this sanctuary - the beautiful plants, the healthy organic food, all the rescue animals... I would encourage people to come here not just for the yoga, but also to fully immerse in a natural sanctuary and the spirit of this place.

The food was incredible and the chef, Manesh Kansan, provided us with a wonderful and diverse array of vegetarian dishes over the course of the ten days we visited. I’ve never enjoyed vegetarian food as much as I did there!

Everyone on the entire staff, from the courteous and attentive people who provided our meals, to the yoga instructors, to the wonderful ladies providing Ayurvedic massages, to the owner Unni, (who went the extra mile to accommodate our requests for extra classes and meditation sessions) - everything exceeded our expectations. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to experience this retreat. I would definitely recommend it.

Everything was perfect ! Can not fault

La nourriture était absolument délicieuse pendant ces 10 jours. Le personnel très agréable.

The place is very peaceful, all amenities are provided, staff is professional and very friendly. I was looked well after.

Un petit havre de paix dans un cadre magique ! Les professeurs sont excellents, le personnel adorable et attentionné, la nourriture fantastique, bref tout est parfait au Hinterland Village !

J'ai passé deux semaines incroyables à Hinterland Village. Les cours de yoga sont de qualité et l'ensemble du personnel du centre est impliqué à vous faire passer le meilleur séjour possible.

Le lieu est magnifique, un véritable havre de paix. Les repas sont délicieux et préparés avec les aliments cultivés directement sur place : une bombe de vitamines et nutriments, comme on n'en trouve plus dans nos grandes villes occidentales.

Je recommande absolument Hinterland Village si vous recherchez un séjour dépaysant et régénérant.

Merci à Unni et à tout le personnel d'Hinterland !

Tout m’a plu : l’ambiance, les gens, le lever du soleil face au studio de yoga pendant la salutation au soleil, les cours de méditation, les 4heures de yoga par jour, la qualité des repas si goûteux et si sains. Tout ! Merci à Unni et à son staff d’un tel accueil. Et merci pour les sourires et la gentillesse de tous. Revenir est mon souhait !

everything was just amazing couldn't be better thank you to all of you

L'accueil et l'attention personnelle que porte Unni à chacun. L'excellence des cours de yoga et les maitres totalement dévoués à votre pratique. La cuisine merveilleusement réalisée par l'excellent chef et son équipe. Ici tout le monde prends soin de vous et veille à votre bien être. Le découverte de la ferme en perma culture qui fournit tous les aliments servis est une très belle expérience.

Merci à tous. Une semaine fabuleuse, juste envie de revenir au plus vite!.

To feel like in a family and Unni's "personal" attention; the impression that the staff is happy working at the retreat.

I loved this retreat. The surroundings are beautiful and calming, the yoga was great, people were friendly and the food was amazing. It made me feel strong, relaxed and focused.

Endroit paisible et très jolie ou la nature prime, Unni fait tout son possible pour vous aider et faire en sorte que tout se passe bien. Les repas sont delicieux. Le staff est juste super que se soit les masseuses, les profs de yoga ou de méditation.j'ai appris énormément, je leur serais toujours reconnaissante ! Merci encore

FOOD, YOGA TRAINING, MEDITATION AND THE ENVIRONMENT

THE WORKING STAFF....everything is perfect. :)

Sehr liebevolle Rundumbetreuung, anspruchsvolles Programm, sehr freundliches Personal, phantastisches Essen. Ein sehr friedlicher und wunderschöner Platz, wo man zur Ruhe kommt. Ich hoffe sehr, einmal wieder zu kommen!

Every part of everything

My stay at Hinterland Village was nothing short of lovely. Upon arriving at Hinterland I was greeted by Unni and some of the guests and was shown to my accommodations to settle in before beginning my day. The village is quite beautiful with all manner of flowers, herbs, spices, tress and friendly animals. It was truly a bit of paradise.

The schedule at Hinterland is quite packed but everything is optional so if you need a bit more rest time you can feel free. There are hammocks to enjoy a good book or to simply take in the scenery, a nice pool to lounge at or cool off in. You can take a stroll around the grounds and appreciate the surroundings or rent a tuk tuk and venture to the neighboring town for some shopping or exploring. You won't be bored.

The food is well balanced vegetarian and is phenomenal. They sell a cookbook with some of their most popular dishes, which I couldn't leave without.

Everyday from 6:30-8:30am and 6-8pm, is yoga practice. Don't let the time intimidate you. The practice is challenging (for beginner and intermediate students) but slow paced with breaks. You'll leave each class feeling energized and renewed. My only dislike to the yoga classes were that with the exception of a few, they were quite routine and unvaried. I would have preferred more variety but they were still great. I found the meditation classes to be exceptional.

You can also enjoy a half-day backwater tour and a cooking demonstration. All in all, great time and highly recommended

I joined in the retreat without experience in yoga and I left loving it. As soon as I arrived at Hinterland I felt at home. The whole experience is unique, as the service, accommodation and facilities are excellent. I booked a 6 days retreat but I was so happy with it that decided to extend my stay. Unni was very helpful all the time, as well as all the staff members. The yoga classes were great and I was inspired to be better every day. There was always new activities and still time to relax and escape from a hectic life. I will definitely come back here!

Everything

The yoga, the meditation, the food was all incredible. Can’t wait to go back.

Amazing stay ..unni make personalised programs as per your needs. The food was delicious and the property was beautiful. Left feeling calm and rejuvenated. Can't wait for my next trip

Staff were so friendly and would do anything for you, really enjoyed my experience. Would love to return one day.

sehr qualifizierte Yogalehrer

Vermittlung von Hintergrund wissen zu Yoga

Ell ambiente, la gente, los instructores, la comida en general todo.

The atmosphere and the propellen was very nice.

Retraite très agréable et bien organisée. Tout était parfait.qualite de l'accueil, nourriture excellente, une oasis de detente.les chambres sont simples mais propres

It's hard to put into words how wonderful my experience was. Perhaps if I tell you that I cancelled all my travelling plans one by one to stay longer at the Village, it will tell you how I felt there. I achieved so much physically and mentally: the massages helped me with a very old injury - I am almost cured! The Dr prescribed me some oils which I am going to use to continue my improvement. Yoga classes are so nicely structured and the the teachers make it highly spiritual ensuring your breath is right. I very clearly progressed within the days I was there. I have no words to describe Swuami and Jayesh. Both very different and both quite simply WONDERFUL. I felt they can read my mind to address my personal issues which I never voiced. Unni is a wonderful man who cares so much about his guests. It's so clear in his actions and how he speaks and organises everything. His staff are a credit to him - they are so lovely! I learnt so much during my stay. THANK YOU! Last but not least, thank you to Bianka who is one of the kindest people I met and helped me so much. I can't wait to be back and I will be recommending this retreat to everyone!!

Saji pendant les cours de philosophie ma ouvert des portes, que du bonheur ?. J'espère te revoir bientôt Christophe

l'accueil, le lieu, les gens, les cours de yoga et méditation, la cuisine, la disponibilité du staff, la gentillesse, le respect, le service

Loved the yoga -great pace, lovely soothing voice, nicely structured classes.

Amazing location-so peaceful.

Wonderful family-run business.

Lots of options to get out for day trips if you wished.

I'll really miss Hinterland and it's wonderful people!

Food, location and service were all outstanding

The peaceful and tranquil environment
