I lived in Fort Kochi for a year from 2019 - 2020 and did yoga every morning with Joseph Sham. In the beginning I had a lot of health issues and was pretty inflexible but by the end I had advanced my practice so much that I actually did my 200 hour yoga teacher training with Joseph. Incredible really. His patience, understanding and supportive nature is what I love the most. He really took time to help me on my journey, not just physically but with mental and emotional challenges too. He has such a warm heart and caring nature and is now a friend for life. I really can’t recommend his yoga enough - perfect for literally any level; beginner to advanced. It’s also worth saying that his aerial/anti-gravity yoga is amazing. I couldn’t even sit on the swing in the beginning but slowly he encouraged me to give it a go, and now I can’t live without it.

I am so glad I asked Ohm Retreats to put together a tailored journey through Kerala. From the tea plantations in Munnar to the backwaters of Poovar the service was EXCELLENT. Antonella and Bhola were able to help with a lost document problem quickly and professionally. This is why it is so important to have people with local knowledge organising your itinerary. I will book travel with this company again.

Would love to tell about our Trivandrum walking tour, but there wasn't one. Guide never showed. No email, no phone call, no notice, nothing. Called Yo Tours from the location and they said they had messaged me a few minutes earlier through Tripadvisor -- but we were already on site, having hired a car to drive us 45 minutes for this thing. Not good.

One of the best and most fascinating guided tours I have ever been to! Deepak took us behind the scenes and we really felt we got close to Old Delhi in just a few hours. Deepak was very nice and knowledgeable, open to questions and delivered the interesting facts without a need to show off. Highly recommended!
