Description
”A paradise for the soul, mind and body! Difficult to describe with words the warmth and the serinity that this place brings! Even more beautiful than in the pictures! Thanks to the stunning nature and the wonderful staff!
Cozy, relaxed but very well organised at the same time!
I went on my own and ended up with a group of lovely women. Many travelled solo as I did! Warmly warmly recommended!”. ~ Camilla

Yoga Classes
Taught by our experienced yoga teacher, classes are tailored to individual needs. Each day offers a different theme and by the end you will have learned a safe, accessible practice to enjoy wherever you are.
Somatic Embodied Yoga
This is a powerful yet subtle practice that increases sensory awareness whilst releasing mental and physical tension. The experience makes you feel more connected, simply by noticing how the whole body and mind respond as you move through the different postures. Somatic yoga releases you from physical stagnation and old habits that no longer serve you, bringing you back into the flow of life.
More healing than exotic fitness stretching, somatic yoga strengthens the relationship between mind and body, improving your alignment, your mental focus and helping you to live in harmony with yourself and others.
As you focus on the sensations in your body moment by moment, self-judgement is replaced with a clearer, more compassionate perspective. This is different from everyday thinking – where you might be dwelling on old troubles or glories, or fast-forward to wishful future pleasures.
The more you sink into your body and bring awareness to your breath, the more your mind surrenders and becomes focused in the timeless present.
This practice of yoga literally re-minds you to live from a state of easy presence, tuning in to what is actually happening in the here and now.
By incorporating this practice into daily life, you will learn to listen to your heart, trust your body, love your mind, and gain higher levels of energy, clarity and balance.
Plant Based Food
All meals are plant based, sourced from local farms, cooked with love, nutritionally balanced.
Kaliyoga is famous for its delicious food, with guests ‘oohing and ahing’ at every meal. Lovingly prepared using local, organic and seasonal ingredients, our aim is to delight your eyes, palate and digestion with a wide variety of nutrient rich, plant based dishes to suit all tastes.
The kitchen is 100% gluten free and there are lactose free options. We welcome vegans, celiacs and lactose intolerant.
Wednesday evening Option to dine out at a local eatery, or enjoy a light meal and a quiet evening at Kaliyoga.
Holistic Treatments
After breakfast & lunch there is plenty of free time for a broad range of blissful treatments from our team of experienced practitioners.
”Out of this world Yoga retreat for body snd soul! My 2nd visit to Kaliyoga and it just gets better and better!
