“First of all congratulations to Sandhiya for making it through her first India retreat with flying colors. The trip to Kerala was amazing from the Udayagiri Ayurvedic Retreat Center in the mountains of Wayanad to the backwaters of Kerala and the Phillipkutty Farmhouse.  Sandhiya’s attention to detail to ensure that all accommodations and meals were of the highest standard was greatly appreciated by our intimate group of 10 beautiful women. It was truly a Spiritual Sojourn that forever changed my being.”   ~ Teresa Cozad

“This spiritual sojourn was just that, a beautiful blend of culture, spirituality, ritual, and history. As soon as I saw Sandhiya post this retreat- I could not think of anyone better to lead us to the heart of Ayurveda. Sandhiya’s eye for curating a beautiful and authentic experience is what made this retreat stand out. I continue to carry the magic of India with me as I have rent-entered my daily life and meditate upon those experiences regularly.”   ~ Laurie Granger

 “Spiritual sojourn with Sandhiya will take you on a journey of a lifetime. It’s a wonderfully authentic experience of South Asia. Sandhiya is an insider when it comes to India and Ayurveda.  It’s clear that she did her homework to ensure that the trip would be enjoyable for all the participants. While the itinerary is well planned, it was not so rigid that one ever felt pressured to rush into the day’s activities. It’s a rare combination of getting off the beaten path while accessing traditional yet utterly comfortable accommodations. Food was always plentiful and nourishing. The week-long stay at the amazing Udayagiri Ayurveda retreat center and debriefings at the day’s end provided the spiritual dimension missing in most other yoga vacations and was much appreciated.  The convenience of an all-inclusive trip, especially in a destination such as India is a huge plus. Sandhiya really has thought of all the details. It’s an experience that I’ll always carry fondly within my heart, as will anyone else who partakes in future sojourns, especially for those who come seeking to nurture their mind, body and spirit.”   ~ Elise Lee

“If you have never been to India and want to, go on an amazing retreat with Sandhiya Ramaswamy! I had the privilege and honor to be a part of her Spiritual Sojourn to Southern India this past October (2017). It was my first time traveling abroad, and she made it an unforgettable experience. EVERYTHING, I mean everything, was taken care of. Her meticulous attention to detail and finding all the right places to make the trip an amazing experiential journey was unforgettable and I am forever changed by it. You MUST go on one of her retreats, it will be a life changing experience.”   ~ Beth LaValle

“I was one of the fortunate that accompanied Sandhiya on her first retreat to Kerala and can attest to a truly transformative experience. The people drawn to this kind experience share something special which makes for incredible compatibility! It was such a pleasure to enjoy and share this journey with my fellow trip mates and now friends. I highly encourage anyone considering a retreat with Sandhiya to take the plunge; you will not regret it !”   ~ Karen Porter

 “I had the opportunity to travel to southern India with Sandhiya last fall for two weeks. The spiritual sojourn she planned was simply amazing! Going to India was a big adventure for me. I felt incredibly safe and secure under Sandhiya’s careful planning. She took care of all details and every place we stayed, every group activity we did and every meal we had, turned out fantastic. The highlight of our trip was one week’s stay in the mountains at Udayagiri retreat center. This ayurvedic healing center was a delight! From the daily doctor’s visits and treatments to the delicious food and puja ceremonies, this place was pure goodness. I felt incredibly at peace once leaving the treatment center. Our journey also included several days visit on an island in the backwaters of Kerala. We stayed in lovely cottages along the river on organic farmland. l really enjoyed our evening sunset river boat cruises and eating the tasty food they cooked for us. It was nice to relax and have quiet time to reflect. Under Sandhiya’s guidance and careful planning, our spiritual sojourn was truly a remarkable experience. I highly recommend taking a retreat with Sandhiya – amazing leader, healer and friend.”   ~ Julie Omens

“Sandhiya’s retreat to India was amazing.   She paid attention to every detail and made sure that everyone was pleased with the experience.  I loved that Sandhiya made sure that we had an authentic India experience from the food to the places we stayed.   Every location had the most wonderful and welcoming people, which is evidence of the work that went into the planning.  She prepared us well for the trip and we all felt very safe and comfortable in a strange country for the first time.  I highly recommend retreats with Sandhiya and hope to join her again in the future.”   ~ Linda Stevenson

“In February of 2014, I had the great pleasure of visiting India for the first time. I stayed in Chennai for 2 weeks studying yoga. I had the great fortune of knowing Sandhiya Ramaswamy who with her wonderful travel partner in India, helped organize my trip to Kerala. My flight, train, drivers and my stay at a beautiful Ayurveda resort on the beach were perfect! Having never been to India I am not sure I would have had such an amazing trip without her expertise and knowledge of her homeland. It was perfect! Thank you, Sandhiya”   ~ Carol Prentice
