I recently did a 4 days yoga retreat here and I loved it! Chandra is very welcoming and takes care of his students. Every day I had 4 hours of meditation and yoga, it was amazing! The yoga classes are mainly hatha based. The location of the school is perfect, in front of the main beach, surrounded by small shops and restaurants, I loved it! I recommend choosing a different accommodation and not sleeping inside the yoga school, as my room was not that clean. There are plenty of better sleeping options in the area.

An oasis of profethional yoga center. Most welcoming teacher ! I came with my daughter who practice very high level and she got classes for her level, and me as a bigginer found the classes to get stonger and feel welcomed! Highly recommended!!

On my 2nd trip to India and Varkala I found Chandra's school of yoga on the cliff. Having tried many yoga places in the past, I was drawn to this shala and teacher for their simplicity and wellness focus - no frills/ego! I really appreciated returning to a "traditional" Hatha focused class every day. I experienced an easy to follow, strength building, humble and honest practice, with space to notice changes in my body/mind/being with Chandra in his peaceful shala with birdsong and beautiful trees surrounding, a minute from the beach for after class and cafes close by - perfect location for sunsets too. We practiced Asana (poses), chanting, as well as numerous pranayama techniques and Chandra challenged me without pushing. He is professional and always up for a friendly chat after class. I also had a treatment with Chandra every day in the afternoon for 7 days - this was the perfect way for my me to relax, recover and realign before returning to work and life in London. I noticed physical, mental and overall improvement and the return of energy was both enlivening and enlightening. Chandra provides more than a massage /yoga classes - he is an experienced yogi and his knowledge as a DR of TCM, Ayurveda, reflexology, western science and multiple massage techniques means you receive an intuitively personal treatment that supports overall well-being and holistic balance. We had many helpful conversations about long term approaches to health and being content in life. He is a kind and disciplined practitioner and empowers his students to live well and be positive. I'm already thinking about how & when I can return to spend more time learning from him and in this nourishing place. Very highly recommend ☀️🙏🏼👍🏼🧘🏾🧘🏻‍♀️

I spent 5 weeks in Varkala, i had an amazing time here. I met docter Chandra in the very beginning of my stay here. I went twice a day to his Hatha or Ashtanga yoga classes. Both classes were very good. Chandra really knows how to motivate you to go deeper and he explaines the ananas very good and also explaines why the posture or the pranayama is good for you. I also did a 7 day shiatsu Wellness treatment here. He really understands the body very good and knows what every individual needs. After the treatment i was relieved from some issues i had in my body. Which is truly amazing and i am so grateful for that. Chandra also organises yoga teacher trainings and he gave me a little taste of what to expect when i would join a training. A TTC organized by Chandra, will give you a deeper knowledge of yoga, the human body, spirituality and you will be able to teach as a professional because his program is build in a way that every person will be capable to teach yoga after 4 weeks of training. I will be joining a training in the new year and i just know, i will be a very good teacher after that

We had a excellent retreat at Chandra’s school! We both didn’t had any yoga experience but do a lot of endurance sports. This makes us stiff and the week of yoga was a very good start to become more flexible. The yoga was sometimes tough but Chandra is an excellent teacher and the transformation is remarkable. If you are looking for a first introduction into yoga and meditation: choose Chandra. The accommodation of the school is perfect, close to the beach and the facilities are clean. The offered food is local Kerala food and delicious. You can discuss with Chandra whether you want to have food three times a day or less. We definitely will come back. It was a new and amazing experience.

Chandra Sir comes with years of experience and you can tell that from the first class. The location and space is very nice and calming. I attended the morning classes. I'm not a regular practioner but the class was structured very well. (May not be suitable for total beginners) He starts with a really good warm up, Surya namaskars and then a string of asanas. He will help with your posture too. And the class ends with breathwork which is amazing!! I also did the massage (Shiatsu) and it was also very very good. Will definitely recommend it.

Hello. I have the pleasure of saying Chandra was my teacher for reflexology and yoga instructor for almost a month. I appreciate very much the way he shares his knowledge with others. You’ll also find Joy in Chandra’s school as a plus to make the place even more special. They warmed my heart, very sweet people, I felt as if I was part of their family. On the professional level I give them a 5 stars as well. They are very attentive, you will never be another brick in the wall around them. I feel very secure with the practice of reflexology since Chandra taught me in a very dedicated way and watched me practice on different types of people, always giving feedforward. 🙏🏼🍀 I’ll be back 🍀🙏🏼

I had two deep tissue massages with Chandra and also a hatha yoga class. All was excellent, he is a patient teacher and great masseuse, personalising to your needs. Thank you!

Just completed Chandra’s 21 hour Shiatsu course! We had 3 hours of private classes daily for a week - a delightful experience. Chandra is an excellent teacher & communicator, deeply knowledgeable in his field, as well as kind & compassionate. Would recommend!

I attended on Chandra's classes for 11 days. The classes were fantastic! Very well organised, Chandra has a wonderful teaching style, he is humorous and kind, very vigilant with his teaching, ensuring students are safely executing the asana’s I tried other teachers, but I connected with his style the most, I recommend continuing with a sequence of lessons in order to feel the effect, and the changes.. also the hotel where he teaches on the clif is beautiful, quiet and clean. With a very good and special energy.. Highly recommend 🩵💚

Chandra is a talented Yoga and massage teacher full of passion! As a doctor of Ayurvedic Natureopathie he has a huge knowledge and is ready to share it! Hatha & Ashtanga Yoga of high quality! Best place for Thai Yoga Massage Courses, I spent 3 months in Varkala, joined diffrent Yoga and Massage places, so I am very sure, Chandra’s Yoga School is one of the best!

I have been attending Chandra School of Yoga for a few weeks, and it has been wonderful reconnecting with my body. Fantastic classes with a really professional instructor. Great yoga experience with Chandra he is a great teacher. It is a very interesting place.

Amazing yoga lessons with Chandra! He is super friendly and pushes you to challenge your comfort zone. My partner and I definitely recommend :)

I stayed at the centre for 6 night and attended the yoga classes for 4 ful days. I had an amazing experience. Chandra is a fantastic instructor and very knowledgeable. I joined his meditation on the beach at 6:30am every morning followed by yoga at 8am and one at 4:30pm. You also have the option to include massage in your package which I did. The Yoga centre is perfectly located next to the beach close to restaurants and shops, as soon as you leave the proeprty you have everything next door. I will definitely come back!

We practised Yoga with Chandra for 5 weeks every morning and loved it! 😊 It really improved my flexibility (I was quite stiff before starting with Yoga) and also his massages helped me a lot. We are definitely coming back and join his class again frequently. Chandra helps to motivate and we still practise his Yoga Style at Home.

Hello:) I went to Chandra, because I was looking for someone who has some knowledge in Osteopathy in Varkala! Chandra is really good. He knows a lot, studied Naturopathy and personal training as well, and probably is an amazing yoga teacher as well. I haven’t been to his classes. But his treatments are very good, he mixes all his skills and knowledges (Chiatsu, Osteopathy, Chiropractics, massage.. ). Luckily someone like him is in Varkala! So if you have any body issue, like an old injury, spine issue, muscle, what ever, it’s a good Adresse. Thank you Chandra!
