- Surf & Yoga Retreat in Mulki, Karnataka: 7-Day Surf Camp with Beachfront Ashram Stay — 7 days
- 10-Day Surf, Yoga & Ayurveda Wellness Retreat in Varkala, Kerala — 10 days
India's south-west coast pairs warm water and steady surf with a long tradition of yoga, and the retreats on this page bring the two together. You'll find two programmes here, one in Karnataka and one in Kerala, each built around time in the ocean balanced with time on the mat. In Mulki, Karnataka, a 7-day surf camp places you in a beachfront ashram stay. The surf programme is the heart of the week. Beginner courses run for 3 or 5 days and cover ocean safety, board handling, paddling technique and catching white-water waves. Instructors stay in the water with you the whole time, and group ratios are kept low. Further south in Varkala, Kerala, a 10-day surf, yoga and Ayurveda wellness retreat follows a simple daily rhythm: morning yoga, a mid-morning surf, then late-afternoon meditation or evening yoga. The yoga is led by Binoy, a Kerala-born instructor with more than a decade of teaching experience, and is rooted in classical practice. Both retreats suit you if you want to learn to surf or build your confidence in the water while keeping a grounding yoga routine alongside it. The Mulki camp is a strong fit if you're starting from scratch. Prices on this page start from 31999 INR for the 7-day Mulki camp and from 450 USD for the 10-day Varkala retreat, so you can choose between a focused week and a longer, slower stay.
