TESTIMONIALS: 2025: JOURNEY TO THE HEART OF YOGA AND AYURVEDA
🪷 “Varnita’s ‘Journey to the Heart of Yoga and Ayurveda’ was a transformative experience. Having never been to India before, my husband & I were open-minded to the journey and went all-in with no expectations. It ended up being the best travel adventure of our lives, because of the itinerary and the warm-hearted guidance of Varnita Kohli. She is an incredibly special host! We started at the Ayurvedic Heritage Wellness Center for a week, experiencing daily Yoga, meditation, and wellness treatments. As novices in Yoga, we felt welcomed and enjoyed our stay. We had a week of peace and relaxation! We spent our second-week visiting several areas of southern India visiting some beautiful parts of the country. The accommodations in each location were wonderful. What particularly stood out for us was the happiness and kindness of the people we met in India. Varnita Kohli is passionate about her love for India, and one of the most delightful and sincere people we have ever met—her energy and enthusiasm sparkle. She was sensitive to and attentive to everyone’s needs on the journey. By the end of the trip, we felt as though we had known Varnita for a lifetime.
🪷 If you ever get an opportunity to go on one of Varnita's travels to India, jump on it. We guarantee that it will be a very magical and memorable time in your life! It certainly was for us." Linda B
🪷 "My husband and I have traveled extensively, but I was hesitant to travel to India, fearing large cultural and societal differences. Varnita's guided tour was marvelous. The first week at the wellness center was calm and comfortable. The second week of exploration was exciting and fun. The day trips were fascinating. The accommodations were excellent. Varnita's passion for sharing the beauty of her homeland came through in every day's adventure." Sara L
🪷 "When we first told our friends and family about going to India, we typically got two responses. First was with a quizzical facial expression, “Why would you want to go to India?” The second reply was, “That sounds very exciting.” (This came from people who have traveled worldwide or lived in different countries.) Keep in mind, since we are in our seventies, going on a Yoga and wellness retreat isn’t exactly the norm. Fast forward, after going on our trip with Varnita Kohli, we found it to be one of the best travel decisions we ever made. We loved India, the people, and all aspects of the journey.
🪷 As important as the research and effort that goes into a great trip itinerary, is the leadership of the host. This is where Varnita shines. She is so caring and tuned into each participant’s needs. For example, when we arrived in India, one of our suitcases was damaged beyond repair. As soon as Varnita found out, she was off to the local luggage store to get a replacement. And, about every time we stopped somewhere, she brought us a local snack to try. That’s just Varnita! Without hesitation, we highly recommend Varnita Kohli for any of her excursions to India. She is beyond compare! Ron B

🪷 "This was the trip of a lifetime for us. We got to see parts of India through Varnita's loving eyes, and it was easy to love the country, its people and the different cultures of each place we visited. It's not totally a sit back and be pampered trip even though it starts with a wellness retreat. There is serious attention paid to actual health and the daily massages are treatments rather than just indulgence. The tour leader, Varnita, was a wonderful advocate for each person's needs and wishes. Her love for India is infectious, and we now love it, too. Daily yoga and attention to healthful food and activities along with cultural immersion was both relaxing and exciting. Highly recommend this trip! Unforgettable in all the good ways! You were a wonderful leader and looked after each person's needs and preferences. You were sweet and caring, and also fierce when it came to meeting anyone's needs or desires. Your enthusiasm for your country of birth was contagious and we enjoyed seeing many things through your eye"s. Leslie K

🪷 "My family returned with wellness habits in diet and exercise that we expect to incorporate into our lives for a long time. It was unique to be part of a small tour led by someone passionate about their homeland ad committed to putting together a group that would get along well and help each other make the most of our experiences. As you know, I wanted to have very different experiences from what we are used to in the States and Europe and got it in spades. the curation of the trip was excellent as were the accommodations, transportation and experiences. I don't know how you did it all so well!" Joe K
