Ashtangam isn't about disappearing from the world for two weeks. It is about stepping into it more fully.
Over 15 days, we travel through Kerala rather than staying in one retreat centre — moving through its landscapes, traditions, food, sacred places and everyday life.
Different experiences. One journey.
Yoga is the thread.
Kerala Through Ajan
Kerala is not simply where this journey takes place. It is where Ajan's own journey began.
Born in Kerala, Ajan began studying yoga in 1993 and spent years immersed in traditional yoga, meditation, Ayurveda and the teacher-student tradition before his path eventually brought him to Spain.
Since 2015, he has also been creating Yogic Journeys through India. Ashtangam is his invitation to experience Kerala through the places, practices and living traditions that have shaped his own relationship with yoga.
For 15 days, he won't simply teach you. He will travel with you.
The Meaning of Ashtangam
Ashta means eight. Angam means parts, limbs or dimensions. Eight ways of experiencing Kerala. Eight ways of experiencing yourself.
Daily practice and teaching with Ajan. The thread that connects everything.
Breath, quiet and guided practice that create space for attention.
Traditional treatments and workshops rooted in Kerala's living wellness traditions.
Sacred places, communities and everyday traditions experienced with respect.
Mountains, forests, waterfalls and waterways become part of the journey.
Kerala's flavours, ingredients and food traditions shared around the table.
Music, movement, craftsmanship and artistic traditions shaped across generations.
Culture encountered as something lived — not simply observed.
Eight dimensions. One journey. Yoga connects them all.
The Practice
Yoga is at the heart of Ashtangam. But this journey is not simply about practising yoga.
For Ajan, the practice begins on the mat — but it doesn't end there.
Into the way we breathe.
Into the way we listen.
Into the way we eat.
Into the way we meet.
Into the unexpected.
Into everyday life.
Don't just practise yoga.
Learn to live it.
Experience Kerala
Some days will be active. Some will be quiet. Some will surprise you. And between them, there will be space to pause, breathe, reflect and simply be where you are.
You don't come to Kerala simply to practise yoga.
You come to experience Kerala through yoga.
The Rhythm of the Journey
Ashtangam is a journey through Kerala, not a stay in one resort. For much of the programme, we spend two or three nights in a place before moving on. During the final five days, the pace settles and we remain longer in one place.
Morning
Yoga, breath, meditation and a quieter beginning to the day.
Day
Travel, food, nature, sacred places, Ayurveda, culture and local life.
Evening
Gentler practice, conversation, shared meals and space to simply be.
There is a programme. There is also freedom.
Ashtangam is an invitation, not an obligation.
The People You'll Share It With
Ashtangam is created for a small group of 8–12 travellers. Some may come alone. Others with a partner, family member or friend.
There will be shared meals, conversations, quiet mornings and long journeys — while your personal space remains your own.
You do not need to be an experienced yogi, and you do not need to arrive knowing exactly what you are looking for.

Before You Join
No. Ashtangam welcomes beginners and experienced practitioners. Ajan adapts the practice so everyone can participate at their own level.

No. The programme provides a structure, but it is not rigid. Rest when you need to. Explore when you want to. Ashtangam is an invitation, not an obligation.
