Stay in nature

Welcome to Lumŭma Yoga Village, nestled on a spiritual infused land, amidst a tropical garden in the heart of beach town Varkala, India.

The village is a living, breathing manifestation of love and care for the earth and its ancient wisdom. It is a space where nature, healing, and tranquility merge—designed as an ashram, a temple, and a sanctuary for the soul. 

Here life slows down, allowing you to tune into stillness and connect to a higher awareness.

Eco cottages

Wake up to the soothing lush nature that surrounds your eco-cottage. The spacious verandah invites for relaxation and connection to the cycles of nature.

The cottages are equipped with Air condition and/or ceiling fan, wooden desk, storage space, and bathroom with hot shower.

Sleep in the comfortable handmade wooden bed, with cotton bedsheets and mattresses are made from pure compressed coconut coir, offer restful support and comfort, connecting the body to nature.

Every element of the space has been designed with a deep sense of intention of creating harmony, healing and transformation.

Story and intention

The village is built upon the hands and wisdom of the tribal people of Wayanad. Together, they crafted the cottages using ancient Vaastu techniques passed down through generations. Every brick, each wall, and every corner is created by hand, using natural materials. Each element chosen for its sustainable and natural healing properties and the deep connection to the land.

The walls and floors are made of handmade mud bricks, infused with medicinal herbs, clay, hibiscus flowers, brown rice husk, cow dung and flax seed oil, combined with golden clay from the hills of Wayanad. The women plastered the room walls with hands putting this rare mountain clay, performing rituals while chanting.

This golden clay offers a deep sense of calm and peace, and ensures a cool climate on hot summer days. It is said that the feeling of being in these rooms is akin to being cradled in the womb, soothing the nervous system and bringing a sense of tranquility.
