SOUTH INDIA - Kerala, Trivandrum
Nikki's Nest, family-run Ayurvedic resort, is located in south west India, roughly 30 minutes from Trivandrum Airport and located near the well-known Kovalam Beach (9 km). Nikki's Nest is built on top of a hill directly by the Indian Ocean, and offers gorgeous views over the picturesque coastline and is wonderfully embedded within the surrounding landscape. A magnificent orchid garden surrounds the grounds and creates a truly private atmosphere. Below the resort is a small integrated Hindu temple.
Nikkis Nest believe, that your health lies on three pillars: your ability to breathe freely, good food, and your happiness and contentment. We are what we eat and think!
Ayurveda and Yoga are like a tree with two trunks growing from the same roots of ancient Vedic tradition. Yoga is the science of unification with the highest divine being; Ayurveda is the science of life. Yoga leads to enlightenment, Ayurveda to perfect health. Ayurveda leads us to harmony with ourselves and the creation. Yoga leads us to communication with the Creator. Ayurveda enables us to reach a sense of physical comfort and mental joy, Yoga aims to achieve a state of uninterrupted bliss. True happiness can be achieved only through the core of ourselves, not through the ever changing uncertainty of the external world. Therefore Ayurveda always leads us to yoga and its meditative practices. Meditation and asanas lose their effect if we do not know the rules of correct diet and proper behaviour. The connection with the higher Self is impossible without a healthy body, steady mind and clear consciousness, and therefore yoga builds on Ayurvedic principles. A Yogi not familiar with the principles of Ayurveda is only a half Yogi and an Ayurvedic physician who doesn’t know yoga is only a half physician.
