My girlfriend and I spend almost a week in Varkala and were keen to find a yoga teacher. It was recommended we paid Haridas a visit and I am glad we did.

The only regret I have about Haridas' yoga classes is that we did not go there straight away in the beginning of our stay. We would have learned so much. First we took lessons at another place where the instructor was a bit too hard handed in "helping" me so I badly stretched my thigh which really made me mad... More

I had a great class with Haridas. He did great adjustments taking me right to the edge but not over it. Nice air conditioned shala. Highly recomment having a class - especially if you are the only one which I was!!

this yoga is ok, but they teach sivananda style which means 12 asanas and everyday is the same thing, which means that you do not get any individual attention if you are a begginer

Knowledgeable instructor, good vibe in the class. My husband, a complete yoga beginner, was doing headstands and wheel poses by his second class!

I like the fact that Haridas was supportive and engaged though it was only my first yoga experience. Now I feel comfortable about going further into it.

drop in classes for every level and experience. I loved the way Haridas keeps a new chalenge each new lesson for everyone. I learned a lot during this practices. Especially the optimism with which he teaches us to do Mayurasana / peacock pose. Enjoy and just try!
