Southern India: a mindful journey with yoga and meditation · Anui

Departure from 27 November to 8 December 2026. Advertised price: 3.200 €.

This Anui journey explores southern India through its temples, traditions and landscapes, with yoga and meditation forming part of the experience. The visits offer an insight into Tamil culture and the spiritual life of cities that remain places of pilgrimage, while the itinerary also allows time for nature and mindful observation.

The route links Mahabalipuram, Tiruvannamalai, Thanjavur and Madurai, continuing as far as Kannur on the Malabar Coast. There, participants are invited to discover Theyyam, a ritual tradition combining dance, music, make-up and devotion. This is not simply about viewing architecture: the aim is also to understand the practices and everyday life that give meaning to each place.

Anui states that the advertised price remains valid until two months before departure. It is advisable to confirm the current price and the specific conditions when booking.

A journey through temples and living traditions

Mahabalipuram introduces the stone-carved temples and great reliefs beside the sea. Tiruvannamalai places the journey at the foot of Mount Arunachala, while Thanjavur offers an introduction to the heritage of the Chola dynasty. In Madurai, the Meenakshi Temple connects the monumental complex with the city's religious activity. Kannur completes the route with a different cultural expression, linked to community and ritual.

The official page describes these stages but does not assign a specific day to each one. The programme below summarises the advertised destinations without inventing timings or overnight stays.

Yoga, meditation and mindful travel

The journey combines cultural visits with time to look after the body and pay attention to the travel experience. According to Anui's general programme, Hatha Yoga sessions adapted to the group and guided meditation are offered each day. Mindfulness and mindful walks accompany the route: observing the landscape, focusing on the breath and allowing time for what is being experienced all form part of the approach.

No previous experience of yoga or meditation is required. The sessions are designed for different levels, with an accessible approach, and Anui provides the yoga mat. This is an in-person, itinerant experience, with travel between destinations and accommodation along the route.

Group and support

Anui works with small groups of no more than 13 people. Visits are accompanied by local guides; the practical information states that explanations are given in Spanish or translated by the Anui team. The experience is intended for people who want to share the journey, discover other cultures and set aside moments for calm and personal growth.

Practical arrangements

Accommodation is planned in twin rooms. Anyone who prefers a single room should check availability and conditions with Anui. The organisation recommends travelling with light luggage that can fit into a cabin case of around 10 kg; this is a packing recommendation, not a confirmed airline allowance.
