Are flights and visas included?

You will need to book your own international flights to India. Once you arrive in India, all transport during the retreat is included. This covers the domestic flight to Varanasi, the overnight train to Delhi, and all road transfers throughout the journey. Your Indian visa is not included, and you will need to arrange this yourself. We are happy to guide and support you with the process.

What’s the group size and what kind of people are going?

This retreat has a maximum of 16 guests. Our retreats bring together a mix of solo travellers, friends, and couples, typically aged 40–60, though we also welcome those in their 30s and 70s. They are solo-friendly by design and attract open-minded people who value wellbeing, enjoy exploring, and enjoy meeting like-minded people along the way. Some guests come for the yoga, others for the destination, but many end up loving both. The atmosphere is warm, down-to-earth, and easy to be part of.

Do I need any vaccinations?

Can I book on my own?

Can you cater for my dietary requests?

Vegetarian and vegan meals are possible throughout the retreat. However, due to the nature of some locations and fixed menus, we may not be able to accommodate all specialist dietary requests. If you have specific dietary needs, please contact us before booking so we can check what is possible.

Who is hosting this trip?

Your yoga teacher on this retreat is Victoria Greene, who will guide your practices throughout the journey.

It was a real pleasure to know that you’re in safe and capable hands, with people who are genuinely and wholeheartedly dedicated to their work. I’ll definitely be returning to the retreats, and I wish you all the best.

All the details are taken care of and the locations are always amazing.  The instructors/hosts are so awesome too.  I just got back from Iceland, incredible!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish, my experience with Reclaim Yourself Retreats in Jordan was unmatched. The food was incredible, the people were warm and welcoming, and every activity was thoughtfully planned. Honestly, it was perfect. Every detail was taken care of, so all I had to do was show up and soak it all in. If you've been thinking about Jordan, go with Reclaim. I can't recommend them enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came away from the yoga retreat in Jordan feeling genuinely grateful for the experience. I appreciated the warmth of the yoga teacher and the sense of community within the group.I found the retreat deeply rewarding. It gave me a chance to pause, breathe and experience Jordan in a very different way. Jools Sampson worked with some amazing local experts on the ground and the people were certainly one of the most memorable part of the retreat. I left having made some wonderful new friends and shared experiences that I will remember for a long time. Thank you Jools and James for having me.

Our second trip with Reclaim Yourself, and we’ve booked two more !  These retreats are exceptionally well run with an imaginative itinerary - our Jordan trip included stargazing, a ballon trip at sunrise and a desert camel rides.  Quality of accommodation is excellent, with the emphasis on responsible travel and heritage properties from havelis in India to desert pods in Wadi Rum.  Would highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Reclaim's Mongolia Retreat was my first (a) Yoga Retreat and (b) Group Travel trip (& as a solo participant). Count myself lucky to be a Reclaim Alum & will be back for more!

Jools & team did an fantastic job balancing the travel, trip-experiences & yoga across two magnificant destinations. While each of the 10 days flew by, the pace remained unhurried and I was able to fully engage through all the activities. I really appreciated how the team fostered a warm & friendly environment across the small group, and it was a truly lovely communal experience. Major shout-out to Kelly for the menu & food as well - I am not a vegetarian, but did not miss meat at all over the trip!

Yoga with James was eye-opening as well, with the yurts providing a really grounding experience. We all received personal attention/modifications during the group classes that catered to varying levels of practice. Beyond the new poses & transitions, my foundation has really improved with his attention to micro-detail & expertise across breadth, movement & focus.

Grateful to have been a part of this trip & massive thank you to Jools & James for the experience.

10/10. Highly Recommended!

Certified B Corp since May 2023. Figures from our 2024/25 Impact Report, covering the year to 31 August 2025. How we travel responsibly

Day 1 – Arrival in Kochi

Arrive in Kochi and transfer to our boutique heritage hotel in the old fort area. We’ll meet as a group, settle in, and head out to explore the atmospheric streets, colonial architecture, and harbourfront before dinner together.

Days 2–3 – Munnar Tea Estates

We travel into the hills to Munnar, where we spend two nights surrounded by rolling tea estates and mountain air.

Days begin with yoga, followed by breakfast and time to enjoy the peaceful setting. We’ll walk tea trails through the hills, enjoy a tasting session, take in the views, and settle into the slower rhythm of this elevated landscape.

Days 4–6 – Kerala Backwaters

We continue to Lake Vembanad for three nights at our lakeside Ayurvedic retreat.

Morning yoga continues, with time for rest, swimming, or booking Ayurvedic treatments. We explore the backwaters by boat with a local guide, visit the Kuttanad community, and walk through coconut groves to experience village life and the traditions of the region.

Days 7–9 – Varanasi during Diwali

A short flight brings us to Varanasi, one of the oldest and most spiritually significant cities in the world, where we stay at the riverside BrijRama Palace.

We practise yoga overlooking the Ganges, then explore the city with expert guides. Highlights include the evening Aarti ceremony, wandering the old lanes, visiting temples and ghats, and experiencing the extraordinary atmosphere of Diwali as the city glows with thousands of lamps.

On our final evening, we board the overnight sleeper train to Delhi.

Day 10 – Old Delhi

Arrive in Delhi and check into our restored heritage haveli in the old city.

We head out on a guided walking and rickshaw tour through the historic lanes, visiting Jama Masjid and discovering the energy and contrasts of Old Delhi. Later, we fly kites from a rooftop at sunset before gathering for a memorable farewell feast.

Day 11 – Departure

Transfer to the airport for onward travel.

A Reclaim Yourself retreat is the best kind of adventure, community + self-love. I always learn something new + ground breaking that alters me for the better.

My trip to India was the very first time I have experienced yoga. It was the perfect mix of travel/adventure with yoga to compliment. Jean and Jools looked after us every moment.
Gwyn Turness – November 13, 2024

If you’re looking for a yoga holiday with a group of like-minded people, you are in the very best hands with Jools and Reclaim Yourself.
Hellen Campbell – November 13, 2024

We felt extremely well cared for – India can be a confusing place and we were able to enjoy the atmosphere because we knew everything had been care of. A wonderful, creative and great itinerary, thank you!
Paul Campwell – November 13, 2024

An amazing journey with a mix of hilarity and insights into India. Thank you!

Sara Wilcox – November 13, 2024

Reclaim Yourself really did give me the taste of India that I had hoped for – the “assault on the senses”. Perfect. Thank you!
