About this trip

Step back in time and let this island capture your heart. Come with us for an unforgettable adventure with your best travel buddy:your body. We'll explore yoga in a new way that respects everybody's asymmetries using PRI techniques. We'll teach you how to identify patterns so we can target imbalances and retrain the brain to correct them. You'll revolutionise your knowledge and go back home with invaluable information. You'll relax at the beach or at the pool, enjoy homemade delicious vegetarian food cooked by local chefs, and visit one of the most beautiful islands of the Indian ocean. 

Details

Your home for the week is a private villa and tranquil hideaway set in secluded Shela Beach. Forodhani House is known for it’s beautiful grounds, glistening pool, welcoming common areas and epic views of the Indian Ocean.  Pristine Shela Beach is a 45 minutes walk from old town, or you can go by dhow in 20 minutes.  All of Lamu Old Town is a UNESCO site. 

We’ve built our reputation on a culinary experience that, in itself, will remind you of the joy of being alive. In Lamu, we are collaborating with a local chef with special access to regional and organic ingredients. We accommodate all dietary restrictions - just tell us when you book.

  • VACCINATIONS: Make sure that you are up to date on all routine vaccinations before traveling to Kenya. The recommended vaccines are: hepatitis A and B, typhoid, colera, DPT,polio and MMR.
  • Like Zanzibar, Lamu is a Muslim island and therefore very conservative. When walking around town, it's best for women to cover up their knees, chest and shoulders. (At Shela Beach, you are fine to wear (or not wear) whatever you like ;))
