Kaivalyadham Yoga Institute Programming
In the morning we will take a car trip, approx. 3h, to the western ghats (mountains in this case), more precisely to the city of Lonavala, a little higher (600 m) than Mumbai. We'll check in at our hotel and then, after our lunch, we'll start with the first activity on the schedule organized by Silvia Meireles and the yoga institutes she studied. Kailvalyadhama is a traditional yoga institute with a scientific approach, which allows us to know more about this ancient system of philosophy, therapies and practices. There too, whoever is interested, it will be possible to experience, for example, an authentic Ayurvedic massage (the latter as an optional activity not included). We will also have the opportunity to participate in the pujas at the ashram in the mornings and evenings.
