Excellent hands-on meditation instruction

Meditation twice a day together with experienced and most friendly Karen Sivan is a treat on any holiday. Wether you are a regular meditator or not, it adds a dimension when sittning with likemindeds, and it gives your leisure day a welcome structur. I also had the breakfast package - lovely fruitsallad to start off the day!

Everything about this stay was perfect for me! I was the only guest at this time so I had private yoga and meditation classes! They take place on a decked roof amongst coconut palms, with sounds of birds mixed with Temple music...

I loved the home-cooked meals! Sivan's massages are really worth doing as well.

The owners made me feel at home, it felt more like visiting friends... They were also helpful with moving around in the neighbourhood as well as with planning the onward journey, choosing the trusted tuktuk and taxi drivers.

It was a perfect soft landing to the Indian ground for a first-timer in India!

I liked everything...the all experience was very beneficial for me.

The location is within a traditional village and the setting is really nice

The yoga practice and meditation take place on the lovely roof top amongst the coconut palms and this is a really nice experience and adds to the overall ambience

Karen and Sivan are friendly and knowledgeable about the yoga and meditation that they teach and are happy to discuss and explain.The food is wonderful and made Fresh each day by Karen and Sivan and it s so nice to sit with them in The evening and eat . The fruit salad really is the best in the world

The place was perfect for a yoga getaway but what really breathed a soul into the place were Karen's lightness and Sivan's gentle support for yoga. The human touch...really.

It was just exactly what we needed . amazing atmosphere . very peaceful and restoring .

I wholeheartedly recommend stay at Karen and Sivan’s place. I loved everything about it- my cosy room, meditation and yoga classes adjusted to my abilities, delicious breakfast and dinners eaten together. Everything is perfectly organised: great email contact, airport pick-up and drop-off, additional trips, contact to trustworthy tuk-tuk drivers. At Kin-Hin you do not feel like a customer but like a family friend- always well taken care of. It is a wonderful place to relax, re-connect with yourself and re-charge your batteries. I look forward to coming back there!

We had 5 days with Karen and Sivan that was absolutely delightful. The yoga and meditation program was just what we needed after travelling through Rajasthan. The excellent teaching and tiny classes improved our strength and flexibility. The classes were undoubtedly the best I have ever done. We very much enjoyed the lovely clean and comfortable room and the fruit salad at breakfast was incredible. Thank you Karen and Sivan for an awesome experience!

This yoga experience was by far the highlight of our first trip to India. Karen made everything incredibly easy, right from the first mails, organising a taxi to meet us at the airport, arranging trips during the day and coming with us on some of them, and then booking trains for our onward journey. It was just the right mix of time to be together as a family and time to do yoga and meditation together and day trips to places we wouldn't have gone to if it hadn't been for Karen and Shivan. The food was lovely and they even catered for our son (with Down's Syndrome) who was a little nervous about spicy food.

The early morning meditation and yoga on the rooftop surrounded by coconut palms, monkeys, birds and the sound of waves on the beach is something that none of us will forget! Sometimes other people joined us for the sessions and Shivan was always able to adapt the sessions to different levels of experience. Our son initially refused to join in, falling asleep on his mat but was soon encouraged to take part and loved it.

This was a perfect Christmas reunion for our family of 5 - our children are 28, 26 and 24 - all sharing new and exciting experiences together and I would thoroughly recommend it both for families, singles and groups. Very friendly and Karen and Shivan go out of their way to make the holiday perfect.

We loved everything about our stay, yoga & meditation classes were great and they made sure to make it suitable for our beginner level, the accommodation is spotless, Karen & Sivan are lovely, they also accommodate our vegan diet.

Warm welcome

Excellent company

Delicious food

Very knowledgeable teaching instructors

WE had a great and relaxing time at Kin Hin. Lovely people, great food and a lot of attention to the meditation and the yoga. Wonderful to do your exercise at the rooftop platform and watch the palmtrees and the sky and hear the rain...

Karen and Sivan were lovely hosts and even acted as my guides to the local area. The meditation sessions on the roof were wonderful and I shall miss them! I'm very much a beginner to yoga and Sivan tailored the sessions to my level. The food was super tasty!

Staying at Karen and Sivan's place made my boyfriend and I feel like we were visiting a family friend's house whilst abroad. It was so nice to have delicious home-cooked food everyday. The room had a kettle, fridge, good wifi and nice hot shower. Overall, we were very well looked-after and had a lovely time.

We did 4 nights 5 days of yoga and meditation and were near beginners to both. As we were the only people there, we had a totally personal service so the classes were the right level for us.

I would recommend getting a meal at the nearby temple one day for a truly local experience. I also had a cooking lesson one day with Sivan which was great.

Good breakfast, karin she booked for me train Ticket, she is very friendly and kind.

Very nice spot, nice house, excellent food ! Karen and Sivan are lovely people. They do their best to make our stay as best as can be. They are very easy going which is very pleasant.

Sivan make very good massage.
