Yoga tour in Georgia

Archive Individual tour

Description

Hello, my name is Sergey. I’m not only an owner and founder of GeTUR companie, a professional raft-guide, tour-guide in Georgia, and the organizer with well logical and logistical skills. I am also trying to discover the question  “what is the yoga?”  and how we can use that skill in ordinary life. I had an experience of living in India during several winters and was taught by exciting and unusual teachers.  I haven’t desire to write a long list of the beautiful Sanskrit words that will review the styles and techniques of “yogi” that I met and where I had practical experience. There is no sense in that. At the moment, I haven’t desire to create around me the atmosphere of the Guru who knows the Truth or technique that will open the Truth for everyone. If you look for the Guru described above, in the social networks, there is a huge choice of them, take that you want. I have an interest in something else, and at present, I’m a guide, because of that, I want to introduce the journey in Georgia, that well combined with a format of yoga-tour.  The idea of that tour was born a long time ago, but start to create it in life was allowed when India and Georgia similarity became obvious. In both countries, there are many places of power, and most of them, especially in Georgia, are pure and hidden from tourist glances. The work on the several yoga-trips for different yoga teachers, who visited Georgia confirmed that.

Organize high-quality yoga-tour is quite a massive task. Places of power are not popular in the case of ordinary tourism. Most of the tours create with purpose look at the famous and effective sights and skip other, low popular, but yes, in the “other” there are real diamonds. The traditions also play an essential role in the case of ordinary tourism. The wine, chacha, meat dishes, and noise party are the tour basis for most visitors of the country, that no suit for people who prefer the yogi lifestyle. On the other hand, especially in villages, the locals have a more calm and straightforward life.

A group in the yoga tours, usually, spent days in the one place, time to time rides to the sights. It is the right decision if an acquaintance with culture and sights isn't an essential aim. But, to look at the real right places, in case of living in one house, we will spend to much time on a road.

I want to offer you a particular way of yoga-travel. We will not at one place and will have a calm ride from region to region across the country observe, and acquaintance with culture and sights include the places of power. The tour schedule made up with time to morning, evening, or middle-day practice. We had experience in those kinds of tours, and I can statement this format is well to combinate acquaintance the country and own spiritual practice. 

The program example you can read below:
