Le rythme des jours m'a permis de reprendre mon souffle, dans un cadre enchanteur et sécuritaire. J'y ai trouvé une paix intérieure, tel que promis.

Karen, la prof de yoga, a le timbre de voix parfait pour se retrouver immergé dans la pratique, en pleine conscience. Les bruits de la jungle masquent la ville autour, on se trouve dans un oasis de verdure.

"Fantastic experience "

The retreat was set in a beautiful green surrounding with lots of amazing noises from the wildlife, especially at 7am when the yoga started.

The food was excellent, all fresh from Unni’s garden. The yoga was an amazing experience, never to be forgotten. Yoga philosophy, meditation and super massages were also great.

"Highly recommend! "

My mum and I stayed for 10days during the monsoon season and honestly it was perfect! Not too hot and the sun was shining everyday. The instructors, all the staff and Unni are incredibly attentive and friendly. The food is beautifully cooked and the massages are wonderful!!

A fabulous experience, learning news skills and meeting lovely like minded people.

Thank you Unni and team!!

"The most amazing experience I have ever had. "

In my early 20s, I was widowed and lost every part of my self to grief. I arrived to hinterland barely a shell of who I was when my partner was alive.

I didn’t know how I would go about trying to find myself again. A friend suggested a yoga retreat so I jumped online just to have a look. I wasn’t overly commited to the idea but searching online wouldn’t bring any harm.

That’s when I stumbled across Hinterland. I had also been doing my own research back home on Ayurvedic medicine. A lot of my grief presented physically and I thought maybe Ayurvedic could help as most modern medicine doctors I saw, didn’t really know what to do with me.

So I booked the trip, not expecting much, as it was only 2 weeks and I didn’t think much could change in two weeks.

Oh boy, was I wrong. Hinterland and Unni have given me the foundations I needed to try find myself again. It hasn’t been some miracle cure and a lot of my problems still exist, but this experience has given me what I needed to work on myself again. To try find out who I am now and live along side my grief, instead of being consumed by it.

My first day was confronting and I spent most of it crying.

My last day was exciting and also confronting because of how much I had changed. All I want now is to continue the practises put into place back home.

Not to mention, the food is to DIE for.

Everything was absolutely perfect.

Thank you Unni, for giving me something to look forward for.

I will absolutely be back and for a lot longer!!!

"Retiro transformador en Kerala: yoga, ayurveda y serenidad"

Mi reciente retiro en Kerala fue realmente excepcional. La combinación de yoga rejuvenecedor, ayurveda personalizado y un entorno encantador superó todas mis expectativas. Los instructores eran expertos, el alojamiento cómodo y las comidas a base de plantas deliciosas. Este retiro es un viaje holístico de auto-descubrimiento, dejándome una sensación de frescura y equilibrio. Muy recomendable para aquellos que buscan una experiencia de bienestar transformador en el corazón de la naturaleza.

"An enriching experience "

My stay at Hinterland has been one of the most enriching experiences of my life.

Everything from the daily yoga practice, to the philosophy classes and meditation sessions to the wholesome food and treatments combined to make a positive impact.

What makes this place really special though is the people, every member of staff contribute to making me feel comfortable. Also Hinterland attracts really special people and the other guests also add to an all round enriching experience.

I hope to be able to return.

"Super retraite et activités personnalisées"

Tout était très bien dans ce petit havre de paix. Les cours étaient excellents et nous avons pu avoir des cours pour débutant personnalisés au début du séjour.

Les repas étaient délicieux et équilibrés et variés, simple mais avec de bons produits.

Les massages faits avec professionnalisme étaient très relaxant. Un homme pour masser les hommes et une femme pour les femmes (rassurant)

La cerise sur le gâteau était la visite du jardin par le jardinier du village. Une vraie découverte de la faune et la flore locale.

Et dans l'ensemble, tous le personnel était très attentif et à l'écoute des résidants.

"Séjour relaxant et ressourçant "

J’ai passé 10j formidables à hinterland, uni est une personne d’une bienveillance inouïe, aux petits soins et très disponible. Toute l’équipe est également merveilleuse, souriants et toujours soucieux de notre bien-être ! La nourriture est excellente et tres variée. Le lieu est très paisible, beaucoup de végétation, calme et on peut y voir de nombreux petits animaux (écureuils, oiseaux, papillons, oies, dindons, etc). Les journées sont bien rythmées au fil des séances de yoga, cours de philo, méditation, massages et autres activités proposées. Une véritable bulle intemporelle !

"Beyond Expectations"

This retreat was one of the most special times of my life - I came alone and only had 3 days (which was definitely not enough) to enjoy all of the facilities. I have never been so relaxed and nourished in my life! The place itself is absolutely beautiful, so much nature and wildlife and is so well taken care of, the food was INCREDIBLE and left you feeling energised but light enough for lots of yoga and massages, the added massages and steam baths were revitalising and the pool right next to my room was perfect for a little refresh between meals and classes. So many amazing spots to relax and read a book - there is even a library to borrow from if you don't have any of your own. Unni couldn't have been more helpful and it was so amazing to spend time with so many like minded people. The yoga itself was incredible - full mind and body relaxation I have never before experienced, and I had to fight off sleep a couple of times 😅 I am already looking for when I can book the next visit. The best value for money I have ever seen from a yoga retreat. Thank you so so much!

"Retraite Paradisiaque "

Thank you Unni for your welcome, your kindness and your availability. Thanks to his wife, for her demonstration of bhajans singing. Thank you Gokul, for sharing your knowledge about yoga and life, for your teaching, we really appreciated your yoga classes, well balanced and well explained, as well as your very interesting philosophy classes, your humility is remarkable, you are a beautiful old soul in a young body. Thank you Swami, for your wise teachings which cultivate us to observe life at a higher level accompanied by your humor as subtle as it is unexpected, your personality both detached and united with everything, is inspiring, thank you also for your special attention during the yoga and philosophy classes, we remember a little more to live life without thinking about it, like a dancer dances without thinking about dancing. Thank you Karen for your gentleness, your kindness during your yoga classes. Thanks to Jayesh for guiding us into very deep meditations. Thanks to Ajid and his wife, for their extremely relaxing massages. Thanks to chef Manesh and his entire team for his Ayurvedic dishes, very creative and delicious. Thanks to Doctor Dinesh for advising us to maintain good health. Thank you also to all the staff, who work to maintain the harmony and peace of this place, Shiva, Vimush, Sukuh, Sarath, Nizhar and many others. Maybe see you next time Hinterland Village.

"A perfect and magic place to regenerate and reborn"

I loved everything !

"A nourishing, enriching and healing sanctuary"

I loved everyone and everything about my stay.

I chose to come here prior to my YTT in order to prepare myself physically and psychologically. The best decision I made!

The team is incredibly warm and radiate genuine happiness. Everything is taken care of promptly - and I mean, everything you could ever ask for.

The food, juices and snacks are prepared fresh and uniquely, for every meal. Light to digest, balanced for nutrition and delightfully delicious. I found myself irresistibly uttering: 'oh! This is so good!' at every meal I had. Yes, it's that good!!

The massages are sooo good! Especially after a couple of days of yoga - simply amazing!

The gardens are beautiful and quite therapeutic to walk through (as long as you have applied enough mosquito repellent as needed - it's provided too). Do not miss out on a garden tour with Shiva, I learned a lot and had fun too, he's a gem.

The Ayurvedic consultation was an eye opener, as well as the recommendations.

The swimming pool was a much welcome cooling down option in the hotter days.

I can hardly wait to visit again soon.

Unni Ji! You're a blessing to me, and of course, to many others.

The world is a much better place, we know peace, we experience joy and restoration through your vision and dedication to provide us with such an incredible facility.

May you be blessed abundantly. And I can't wait to see you again soonest, Inshallah!

"Place for stress relief "

My motto is not to set high expectations, doesn’t matter which place I visit. As a result, my expectations were met to fully satisfaction.

I met great people, experienced family atmosphere from the staff, enjoyed delicious and healthy food.

Many people traveling to India are skeptical about food or hygiene. At this place is everything to the highest quality and still you have a feeling of staying at home and not at the hotel or similar.

The accommodation is tidy and pretty furnished- I loved the wooden bed, which was beautifully carved.

The food is vegetarian and prepared mostly from the ingredients of the local garden. Spiciness is asjusted to the Western taste.

Different yoga teachers support you during your yoga experience. The whole experience is being accomplished by the relaxing oil massage of the local professionals.

I’ve met there people who have visited the place many times. I totally understand them why, it is worth of visiting again and again 🙏🕉

Thank you Unni for this beautiful experience and your dedication to this place!

"Most amazing experience ever "

Don’t worry about anything. Uni will sort everything you need. Just arrive and relax. Food is out of this world. Gardens and surrounds are beautiful. The yoga is so good and I progressed so much during my stay. Meditation is also a good variety and very well delivered by Jayresh. Oh and the massages are awesome. All the team and super lovely and accommodating. Just book it.

"Most incredible retreat EVER!"

Incredible retreat, Unni knows and treats all guests like family and that's how we feel if we look back at our days at Hinterland, a paradise surrounded by rice fields and palmtreees.

Go for it!

We booked 6 days but extended with 4 extra days because the vibes, the energy, the food, philosophy classes, yoga and massages brought so much rest to our body and soul. We met people from all over the world. Nice connections and unforgettable moments together. We will definitely be back! A big thank you to all the staff, all teachers, Swami, and ofcourse thank you Unni, keep going, keep sharing, keep shining ✨🌈

"Exceeded my expectations!"

I wouldn't know what else to add to all positive comments from previous reviews, all of them are true! I spent three weeks and I felt all the time that I was taken care of, important and loved. I could not get tired of the amazing food: all vegetarian and all grown in the premises.

All the attentions in making sure that you would not miss classes, meditations, tea times, etc. was astonishing.

The beautiful surrounding and, also, the care that they put in it shows how much they really care, and they use the same care for their guests. We practiced yoga twice a day, then there were different other classes in different days, like yoga philosophy and meditation.

As I have back problems, I had several massages with special treatment for the lumbar area. They also gave me practical breathing exercises for my tinnitus.

All stuff were just great, genuinely kind and always giving you their best smiles. Unni, in particular, always goes the extra mile in taking care of his guests. All the experience exceeded my expectations and I totally recommend Interland Village!

"Amazing! Was lucky to get this amazing place"

This place is a place that anyone should pass at least once in his lifetime.

All the staff is amazing people, the Yoga lessons were totally mind-blowing, along with the meditation, and passing several days in this magnificent area gave me a lot of wisdom and knowledge that I will keep on carry on in my life.

It felt more a home than just a "retreat".

Feeling blessed that I've got here, and will probably come back sooner or later.

If you like happiness in your life, or searching for it...this place is for you.

Hinterland Village is truly a special place. Unni and the entire staff are so warm, welcoming, and caring. The retreat has an incredible value for the money, given the Ayurvedic consulting , delicious food all grown on property, classes, massages, and comfortable accommodations.

The property is stunning, lush and green. I highly recommend this retreat. I felt totally safe the entire time. I will definitely be returning!

"Un petit écrin paisible et ressourcant"

Le centre en lui-même est incroyable : la shala est magnifique avec une vue sur le lever du soleil (on ne peut pas s'en passer), les maisons du centre sont superbes et offrent tout le confort nécessaire, tout est très propre, l'immense jardin aux mille plantes est hyper ressourçant surtout que les produits utilisés en cuisine proviennent exclusivement du jardin. Gros + sur le fait que Unni fasse fonctionner le centre grâce à des panneaux solaires. Concernant les cours de yoga, on revient aux bases de notre pratique avec une approche plus spirituelle (beaucoup de mantras, de méditation) et plus tradi (mêmes asanas, tenues longtemps).

Concernant le traitement ayurvédique, la prise en charge est assez complète : rdv avec Unni le directeur mais aussi un médecin ayurvédique qui se déplace spécialement pour vous voir, le yoga et la cuisine sont ensuite adaptés à vos besoins, les deux massages sont très agréables.

Le personnel est aux petits soins, très bienveillants et respectueux. Unni se donne beaucoup de mal pour que le séjour réponde à toutes nos attentes et s'investit dans le parcours de chacun. Le reste de l'équipe est tout aussi investi et c'est un plaisir de partager du temps avec eux tous !

The atmosphere, the entity of yoga classes, pranayama and especially yoga philosophy and ayurvedic guidelines. Everything was well-thought and run-through. Unni was extremely helpful and compassionate in every need, being genuine and gentle. It was a pleasure to get to know the story of Hinterland and spontaneosly play it back, having a playback theater performance with our theater group there. Days were intensive and opening in many ways, looking forward next time and deepening some aspects hopefully in private sessions.

Everyone on the entire staff, from the courteous and attentive people who provided our meals, to the yoga instructors, to the wonderful ladies providing Ayurvedic massages, to the owner Unni, (who went the extra mile to accommodate our requests for extra classes and meditation sessions) - everything exceeded our expectations. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to experience this retreat. I would definitely recommend it.

During my 10 days stay I realised, with the exquisite spirituel guidance, how simple life can be.

The quality of the yoga instructions, meditation, lectures on yoga philosophy, Ayurvedic massage is excellent. Food is so yummy and served so nicely and always with a smile.

Everything is done with maximum of care, attention and mindfulness from each and everyone working in Hinterland,

"Best Yoga Resort"

I came to Hinterland as a yoga novice. My expectations were simple: doing some Yoga and get relaxation from my daily life. I got so much more than that. Health issues were discussed, taken seriously and included in everyones daily program. The yoga sessions were of high quality as well as the meditation and massages. I felt taken care of and was welcomed every day by every single one in Hinterland. The small group of people and the daily routines made it easily possible to get to know each other. It's location in the nature as well as the sounds of nature gave me - combined with yoga - the peace and the time-out I was looking for.

Thank you very much.

"Exactly what i needed!"

I really needed to not have to worry and think about what I am doing and eating and know that my body is being taken care of - for me the most relaxing part was having a schedule given to me in the morning and having my diet controlled for me - I was on a detox diet.

Additionally, the yoga instructors were quite different from each other, even though they thought similar routines, which really gave me an opportunity to find out what works for me. The view from the yoga studio was magical!

Having rescue animals around was also a great experience, I love animals and it really added to my experience.

Unni and all the staff were lovely and caring and attentive to no measure <3

"The key to unlocking potential for bliss"

The guided meditations, one to one discussions to answer questions relating to the practice, including yoga instruction, philosophy lectures and practical skills such as Ayurvedic cookery classes all enabled me to qualify my understanding of the value of yoga and medication, providing a foundation on such a buy.

This retreat was incredible and so memorable. Unni and his staff welcomed us with warmth and generosity. The accomodations were spacious and comfortable, the food was delicious and nutritious, and the yoga and meditation classes left us feeling grounded and energized. We feel blessed to have spent 5 days at Hinterland. We loved seeing the animals and especially Emma, the emu. We very much enjoyed both the cooking demonstration and the nature walk. We appreciated the time the staff spent with us and the attention to detail that made our stay wonderful. This retreat experience was the highlight of my time in India. Thank you Unni and all the staff for an incredible retreat.

"Holistic experience of Yoga"

Hinterland is a beautiful place with wonderful humans, plants and animals living in harmony. It’s easy to strive and feel comfortable in this environment, eating delicious food from the garden and following the daily yoga and meditation routine. On top of that I learned a lot about the science of ayurveda and philosophy and practical skills like cooking. Unni and everyone from the staff were welcoming and attentive, taking care of everyone’s needs and making my stay perfect. Occasional get aways to fort kochi, the backwaters and to town were nice activities to balance out the retreat. I recommend this place to everyone interested in experience well-being and relaxation paired with yoga.

"Ideal place to retreat"

Coming to Hinterland was sheer chance, and I am thankful for that. When I booked the place, I expected only to spend three days doing yoga. I was pleasantly surprised both by the charm and tranquillity of the place and the warmth of all the people living and running the place, making it an ideal place for a retreat. Mr Unni is not only a warm and caring person but is a great organizer and manager. Even in a short three-day stay he managed to pack in all that was promised including a backwater trip and several Ayurvedic massages, without it being too overwhelming, giving me time to relax, reflect and take in the idyllic nature I was in. The yoga instructors were experienced, knowledgeable and accessible. The food was excellent. It was truly a homecoming for me - reconnecting with my roots. My only regret is that I was there only for three days. I hope to return one day...soon.

"Perfectly Balanced Retreat"

I've been to many retreats around the world. They all have their distinct character, but Hinterland is first among equals. A real highlight was being around animals and even getting to know 'Emma', the resident Emu.

I chose Hinterland because of its credentials for weight loss. It didn't disappoint. After 14 days, I left 7.3kg lighter than when I arrived.

It's impeccably organised and everything runs like clockwork.

"Incredible holistic experience in peaceful natural paradise"

An amazing retreat built and delivered with so much love, knowledge, dedication and care by Unni and his lovely team. This was my first time in India and the retreat quickly exceeded all my expectations. Everything was perfect- the facilities, the sustainable and organic oasis of Nature that Unni so thoughtfully created, the unbearably delicious healthy food, the classes and massages... everything just beautifully flows and comes together to create the most well-built, body- and soul- nourishing experience I’ve ever had. Every single person at Hinterland (from the owner down to the housekeeping staff) was so respectful, positive and lovely, and went out of their way to make sure everyone’s stay is tailored to their needs. I am already planning to return and wholeheartedly recommend this retreat to any true yoga & nature lover!

"Not really sold...."

1. communication with the retreat at the outset was very good and prompt

2. during the retreat the staff were phenomenal

3. the food was exceptional (do not expect to come away lighter--lovely curries and breads at each meal are too hard to resist)

4. the yoga philosophy classes with Swarmi were great

5. Emma the emu is a sweetie (if slightly intimidating)

6. the owner Unni, provides a personalised note for everyone at breakfast time, that outlines your activities (eg, massage, trip into town). This is a nice touch.

"The Perfect Retreat"

The food was incredible - I bought the recipe book, which I wouldn’t usually do. Best food I’ve had in India and I’ve been eating A LOT.

The yoga was great, challenging but never too much. Meditation was excellent too.

The atmosphere is wonderful, there is no stress and it’s a very easy place to arrive as a solo traveller. Everybody eats together so you get to know everyone quite quickly.

There was a consultation with an Ayurvedic doctor which was great.

There are lots of friendly animals wondering around the property, each day there were a new group to meet.

Couldn’t recommend Hinterland Village enough. I’ve already told all my friends to go.

The food was absolutely delicious freshly cooked and most of it grown on the surrounding land.

"The best yoga experience"

It was an amazing experience!! A wonderful retreat with wonderful people, surrounded by beautiful nature and animals. I couldn't recommend more Hinterland Village, and I'm looking forward to the next time I will be there (and that is certain that will happen).

Unni and all the people working there were doing more than possible to make our stay excellent. Everything is organised in such a way so you can get the most out of the yoga retreat: 4h of yoga classes daily, meditation, Ayurvedic massages and treatments, cooking show, yoga philosophy, chanting and so much more .... a complete experience to give you an understanding on what yoga is and how it can be good for your body, mind and soul. The food is delicious, freshly cooked every day. I'm already missing all the snacks and flavoured waters that were prepared for us every day.

I came home after 10 days more healthy, rejuvenated, with a positive mind and open heart... so, thank you Unni, and thank you to the entire team in Hinterland for this amazing time! It is indeed a life changing experience, and I think I took home with me a lot of the learning and positive vibes I got during the stay.

A perfect location for solo travellers and a great opportunity to meet think-alike people and build new friendships. Airport pick-up can be arranged, and also day-trips if you're willing to explore the surroundings.

"A beautiful surreal oasis in Kerala"

I arrived here for my first ever yoga retreat and instantly felt as if I had been transported to another world. Everything here is about your wellbeing and relaxation, and after spending six days here I felt the most centred that I have been in years (though I wish I could have stayed longer!)

Days start with a 6.30am yoga class overlooking the sunrise over the rice paddies and palm trees. Throughout the day, you can have massages, meditation classes and yoga philosophy, or spend time reading in the hammocks or swimming. The grounds themselves are beautiful - the groundskeeper really knows his stuff and will show you all the beautiful species of plants growing on site! All staff and instructors are completely lovely, and the food is delicious and healthy - I miss it so much!

This place is hugely relaxing and stunning and will give you the chance to clear your mind completely through regular yoga and meditation practice. In only six days I learned so much about myself - fully recommend here.

"Exactly what I was looking for"

I was looking for a short retreat to experience the real meaning of yoga. I only had 3 days to spend in Kerala and literally went all the way from New York to India, flew 18 hours just to do this retreat. I arrived Friday night and Unni sent someone for me to the airport. He welcomed me and saved dinner for me. The food was delicious and I am not vegetarian. On Saturday I did a 2 hours yoga class, then an amazing breakfast, a meditation class, a philosophy class, an amazing massage and facial scrub and then another yoga class. Dinner was good as well. On Sunday I had morning yoga class, a private yoga session and another ayurveda massage. A taxi drove me to the airport on Sunday noon. I understood why people extends their stay. I felt welcomed, relaxed, disconnected. Unni was on top of everything (even my morning bananas!) and made my stay enjoyable even in such a short time. I don't remember all the staff names but everybody was caring. I wish I could stay for a week. I was afraid to do this solo but I am happy that I did it. Unni: I will see you in NYC! We need a Hinterland New York.

The village is quite beautiful with all manner of flowers, herbs, spices, tress and friendly animals. It was truly a bit of paradise.

The schedule at Hinterland is quite packed but everything is optional so if you need a bit more rest time you can feel free. There are hammocks to enjoy a good book or to simply take in the scenery, a nice pool to lounge at or cool off in. You can take a stroll around the grounds and appreciate the surroundings or rent a tuk tuk and venture to the neighboring town for some shopping or exploring. You won't be bored.

The food is well balanced vegetarian and is phenomenal. They sell a cookbook with some of their most popular dishes, which I couldn't leave without.

Everyday from 6:30-8:30am and 6-8pm, is yoga practice. Don't let the time intimidate you. The practice is challenging (for beginner and intermediate students) but slow paced with breaks. You'll leave each class feeling energized and renewed. My only dislike to the yoga classes were that with the exception of a few, they were quite routine and unvaried. I would have preferred more variety but they were still great. I found the meditation classes to be exceptional.

You can also enjoy a half-day backwater tour and a cooking demonstration. All in all, great time and highly recommended

"Hinterland..a little piece of Heaven"

Too many to mention. Yoga, mediation, philosophy, massage, food and all of Unni’s team were outstanding. The eco philosophy of the retreat is inspirational. India needs more people to think like Unni. 🙏

"Magical oasis in the monsoon season!"

I can’t say enough positive things about Hinterland. This place is absolutely magical. Unni has created a sustainable, eco-friendly village with HUNDREDS of native flora and fauna. The food is phenomenal, and there is so much to see and do on the property. You’ll get to improve your yoga & meditation practice, go on nature walks, eat delicious snacks (multiple times a day), drink fresh juices, learn yoga philosophy, take trips to nearby spots (backwaters, village, Kochi), swim in the pool, visit the vegetable garden, get a cooking demonstration, enjoy a massage, drink herbal water, get a steam bath, sing bhajans, get an ayurvedic consultation, feed the emu, and SO much more.

Also, I must note that Unni and the whole staff really do a great job of nurturing you. I’m impressed with the care that they provide: at any given point in time, they are providing holistic treatment to a number of people for their specific conditions.

There’s so much to see and do here. Don’t hesitate to book this — you won’t regret it!

"A lovely experience "

The structure of the day was wonderful and the food excellent. Accommodation is simple but, this feels appropriate. I dreaded the idea of a cliche yoga retreat but this seemed truly authentic. The teachers were very good and both my body and mind feel relaxed and rejuvenated. The food was excellent. I also enjoyed the sound of the rain as we practised yoga and meditation.

"Yoga - the full package!"

At Hinterland Village, Unni, Sri Devi, Swamy, Jayesh, and all the other wonderful staff members and teachers, are really giving you a solid foundation into all aspects of yoga. Everything runs so smoothly, and you feel really taken care of and looked after, in every way. It's not just about doing asanas, but about learning about meditation, philosophy, ayurveda, and emotional and spiritual health. This retreat really gave me the building blocks in order to lead a healthier and happier life going back to my normal routine. The food is wonderful, my room was comfortable and there's always lots of hot water in the bathroom! Visiting in monsoon season also meant that we had quite a small group of people and it felt really relaxed and cosy. The days are busy enough with 4 hours yoga and one hour meditation, and the place fully stocked with loads of umbrellas, for the heavy rains to not impact too much.

Amazing place to withdraw from your life’s stresses and refocus on what is real and important. Yoga practices are amazing and they tune you back with your body.

The whole experience is unique, as the service, accommodation and facilities are excellent. I booked a 6 days retreat but I was so happy with it that decided to extend my stay. Unni was very helpful all the time, as well as all the staff members. The yoga classes were great and I was inspired to be better every day. There was always new activities and still time to relax and escape from a hectic life. I will definitely come back here!

I'm not vegetarian myself but after eating clean and delicious for the past days I feel rejuvenated. I will buy a copy of the cooking book because the food is just amazing. If you are looking for a place where you can connect body and mind this is the place for you. I extended my stay and 4 people from the group did aswell.

For a single woman traveling solo to India, this experience was safe, fun, and beyond amazing. The staff is kind and happy, the owners are around, the teachers are excellent, and food is healthy and tasty. I want to go back for a longer program.

Maten är väldig verigerande och otrolig gott. Du går aldrig hungrig. Yoga och meditationen va bra för mig som nybörjare. Filosofi och yoga läraren var underbart. Tusen tack Swummi för att du delade dina kunskaper med oss. Du har hjälpt mig för att läka min trötta själ och ha en positivare synsätt på världen.

Unni ägaren är också en underbar person som hjälper med det mesta. Jag sökte dit för min onda rygg och han skrädda sydde en program med extra massage och separata träningar som hjälpte min rygg mot det bättre.

Jag kommer definitivt att rekommendera denna underbara plats till mina vänner.

Within days I was on my feet, felt so good that extended my stay.

"Wonderful place with amazing staff and a great atmosphere "

The team who work here are like a big family, you can tell everyone is genuinely happy to work there. Unni the owner ensures you feel welcome as soon as you arrive and the day is planned so you can do as many or as few activities as you like. There is plenty of free time to socialise and meet new people or to take yourself off alone if that's your thing. The food was amazing and you will never go hungry with regular meals, juices and snacks all included. Most of the food is grown on site and freshly cooked. The yoga is a little different to a class at home, there is more focus on breathing and meditation rather than just how many asanas can you fit in an hour. I feel so much stronger and more flexible and could see daily progress for practicing 4 hours a day. The teaching is excellent and personal.

"Will repeat! "

I loved my stay in Hinterland Village.

My friend and I spent 6 days in a shared room.

From the beginning we felt very comfortable. The facilities are basic but at the same time every detail is looked after. The staff was incredibly attentive and kind.

Unni, who runs the place is such an inspiring human being.

Daily, we were waking up at 6am, starting yoga practice,

(including asanas, pranayama and meditation), followed by delicious Indian breakfast (don’t expect croissants or porridge!). Free time, philosophy, dance therapy, massages, depending on the day (Unni adjusts the schedule for individuals based on their needs/likes) lunch, free time, more yoga, some other activities like meditation or relaxation and dinner.

The yoga sessions last two hours. Don’t worry if you are not an expert although I would recommend having done a bit of yoga before to enjoy it more.

They provide good yoga mats (which they clean regularly). The teachers are very experienced. The way they teach is fairly different to what we are used in wester countries but it felt to me like real authentic Yoga.

The relaxation and meditation sessions were incredible, perfect way to forget about our busy lives back home.

The food is all vegetarian (can be catered to vegans too), grown at the resort and amazingly cooked.

We had an amazing time, thinking about going back again in the future. Highly recommended.

Every member of staff is excellent from the moment you arrive, you instantly feel welcome and there are constantly there to assist. The staff ensured that we didn't miss any meals (selection of food and smoothes are great!!). The massages certainly add to the experience, plant tour (absolutely superb and the guide made it for us) animals running free :) yoga class (we are beginner level and they were very manageable) and lastly using the bikes - great trip to the local town to sample the locals cakes and coffees.

"The perfect break!"

My yoga holiday at hinterland village was one of the best experiences I had. To begin with, the rooms are perfectly fine, spacious and clean. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The food was simply amazing. I enjoyed healthy, delicious, vegetarian meals and did not crave for anything else except what was served. The asana, pranayam and meditation techniques taught are appropriate for any level of student and also perfect from a relaxing yoga holiday perspective. The asana's are not strenous but at the same time helps to stretch and strenghten the body, just the right amount you need while on a holiday. And not to forget the beautiful location hinterland village has to offer, truly making up with nature. It serves as the perfect getaway vacation from the routine hustle bustle of city life, to relax and spend some quality time with nature within the resort and even the surronding village, do some yoga, meet lovely like minded people and eat delicious food! Many thanks to Mr. Unni who is an absolutely kind and delightful man. His hospitality made our stay even more memorable. Also a special mention to his team out there.. who are extremely hard working and kind people! Definitely worth a second visit! : )

"Cosy and great in every aspect."

I had none expectations for my first yoga retreat and the experience in Hinterland Village was much more than just brilliant, educative and eye-opening yoga, meditation, philosophy and Ayurvedic treatments - the village has a cosy, warm and communal atmosphere as the staff and the visitors spread authentic caring for one another. I built long-lasting friendships here. It always was sad to say goodbye to travellers with interesting lives and stories but an eager excitement grew as new travellers arrived. Individuals' schedules change daily. I learned much about myself and the surrounding world here. My habits and behaviour have changed for the better with a more stable mind. The meditation sessions, and especially one yoga nidra session halfway through my retreat sharpened my awareness and planted healthy behavioural actions into my subconscious. My behaviour and daily habits changed by the yoga, meditation and philosophy sessions. Thank you Jayesh and Swami! The nourishing and the delicately presented food was absolutely spectacular. A cookbook by the chef with all of the recipes served in Hinterland Village will be released in 2018. An immense thank you to the chef! Unni has created a genuine gem paradise with beautiful natural wonders and an authentic and caring community. I felt like being at home. Words cannot describe how grateful I am for Unni, the complete staff and the visitors for making the experience in Hinterland Village life-changing and unforgettable.

It's hard to put into words how wonderful my experience was. Perhaps if I tell you that I cancelled all my travelling plans one by one to stay longer at the Village, it will tell you how I felt there. I achieved so much physically and mentally: the massages helped me with a very old injury - I am almost cured! The Dr prescribed me some oils which I am going to use to continue my improvement. Yoga classes are so nicely structured and the the teachers make it highly spiritual ensuring your breath is right. I very clearly progressed within the days I was there. I have no words to describe Swuami and Jayesh. Both very different and both quite simply WONDERFUL. I felt they can read my mind to address my personal issues which I never voiced. Unni is a wonderful man who cares so much about his guests. It's so clear in his actions and how he speaks and organises everything. His staff are a credit to him - they are so lovely! I learnt so much during my stay. THANK YOU! Last but not least, thank you to Bianka who is one of the kindest people I met and helped me so much. I can't wait to be back and I will be recommending this retreat to everyone!!

We liked everything!

The Yoga and Meditation were great, Swarmi is a great teacher and it was good to get to know him over our time there as he was a very interesting person.

One of the highlights was the yoga philosophy as it was something we had not had much exposure to before hand but was very interesting and again Swarmi’s views and teaching made this very interesting.

The food was AMAZING and has been the most enjoyable food we have experienced on our three weeks around India. Different dishes every day and always exciting to try.

Also a special mention to Bianca and her dance therapy and aerobatic yoga classes. The dance therapy was right out of my comfort zone but Bianca was a great teacher and had well planned classes that made you feel at easy and comfortable and were very enjoyable. It’s a shame she will only be there for a limited time.

Thank you also to Unni how perfectly organised everything was,he made sure you were well looked after and didn’t want for anything.

All in all we had a great 6 day at the retreat and left totally relaxed and in a great mind space. We didn’t want to leave and wished we could have stayed longer.

"Absolute Bliss"

I just had the most amazing holiday at Hinterland Village. I felt so relaxed and healthy when I left. The owners, Unni and Sridevi, have done an amazing job in creating a place that feels homely. They truly care about the experience. Nothing is too much trouble to organise and a lot of things like massages, laundry, etc are included in the price. And as a result, their staff are truly wonderful. Super caring, friendly and attentive.

I loved it that we had never more than 12 people in the camp (I think their absolute max is 20) which has kept the time their very intimate and personal.

The daily program was much more than I expected. I thought I would have a lot of time to read and take time out but in fact, there was always something on. 4 hours yoga a day, 1-hour meditation, yoga philosophy, massages, nature walks, cooking demonstrations and the list goes on. That said there were people who skipped classes or didn't participate, so that was fine too.

The yoga was great. Very different to what I am used to from home but I loved it. The classes easily accommodated all levels of yoga from beginner to more advanced. There was a lot of focus on flexibility, stillness and breathing which I thought was perfect to recover from a stressful life or someone who wants to recover from burnout.

The vegetarian and Indian food was amazing. We had three meals plus snacks in between. Plenty of good healthy food with a lot of their vegetables homegrown.

"Just what I needed"

The yoga routine Mon-Fri was very repetitive, which was exactly what I needed as after a day or so, you could concentrate on the moves and focus, rather than have to pay attention to the routine. The yoga nidra turned out to be very interesting and useful to me. And the retreat is set in a working farm (they grow much of their food onsite) and, as they have planted many different species around the accommodation, it is like staying in a botanical garden, useful, if like me, you relax between yoga by practising watercolour painting.

"Rejuvenation, Connection and Alignment for the Soul"

If you've stumbled across the reviews for Hinterland, it has found you too; and, is likely exactly what you need. Do it. Go. Embrace. Hinterland Village is an amazing experience, all of emotionally, physically and psychologically. It provides everything needed to reconnect body and mind. The staff and instructors are a wealth of knowledge; and come from all walks of life. They are each happy to share their experiences with you. The Yoga instruction can not be faulted - it is personally tailored for your skill level, in a safe, gentle and inviting environment. Yoga philosophy classes will affirm what you feel or maybe what you have forgotten; and redirect you to your purpose. The meditation classes are incredibly powerful and will assist you into understanding yourself and opening your mind. Ayerveda massage and medicine is the perfect compliment to your experience. The food is incredible - Unni - PLEASE organise a Hinterland Village recipe/cook book and contact me once you do! I guarantee every guest will want a copy. Thank you all for everything. Namaste.

"Deeper than a retreat"

The staff is so kind and conscious.

I loved the simplicity of the food. Energy of the place is very serene. The nature guide was a light to see everyday, and his son, beautiful souls. Yoga calm and open to personal adjustments depending on skill level. It was very nice to get physical corrections. Gardens and sustainable situation of the retreat was awe-inspiring.

Everything about the place was wonderful. The owners are a delightful couple, genuinely warm and caring. The yoga classes were excellent, and the philosophy of Yoga was very well explained.

"Incredible Hinterland"

Best 10 days of my life spent at Hinterland yoga retreat. I loved everyminute of my stay, made some wonderful friends and worth every penny. Unni and all his staff have created a real family environment and give so much of themselves in making sure you feel welcomed and relaxed. I will definitely recommend this yoga retreat to anyone and can't wait to plan my next trip 2018 to Hinderland, Kerala.

"Ideal yoga experience"

Yoga at Hinterland was fantastic. Unni has built a truly remarkable place out of love. The accommodations were all that was needed; the food was delicious and healthy; the garden tour was a delight; and most of all yoga and yoga philosophy with swami was eye-opening.

"True joy "

I left Hinterland a few days ago now, and I feel like I was sleeping for 8 days and just woke up from a beautiful dream. I went to Hinterland alone, with no expectations, and I left a happier, simpler and more peaceful person.

Hinterland offers a real yoga retreat, where you practice real Yoga, learn yoga and live yoga.

From the quality of food, to the beautiful people who run the place, this experience truly left me in awe.

I arrived in Hinterland on a rainy day a little after sunset, and as soon as I entered this green, all natural location, I felt the energy, and knew that I made the right choice.

Thank you for taking care of me, and making me feel like I'm part of the Hinterland family. I know I arrived here for a reason, and I cherish every minute spent in Hinterland.

"Great holiday!"

I have spent ten days at Hinterland and had a wonderful time. Heartly welcomed by Unni and his amazing team. Everything has been taken care of. My room was clean and comfortable, the common space is very nice; hammocks to relax, a pool to cool down and a beautiful garden with a funny Emu :-) Two yoga classes a day and a massage every other day plus some philosophy, ayurveda and naturopathy classes. The food is delicious, fresh and healthy. And if you like to go out for a visit (backwaters, tea fields) Unni organizes everything for you at a very low fare. Overall, I had a beautiful time, met some friendly people from all over the world and I left India feeling super Happy! Thank you so much for everything! Belinda, Belgium
