Take your students to India. We'll help you get there.

Organizing a 10-21 day trip for a group of yoga students in a developing country can be daunting. Redback Travels makes it easy. We handle all trip logistics including in-country airfare, transportation, hotels, local guides, activities, registration and advertising. Over the years, we have established close relationships with local agencies, guides, hotels, restaurants and people. We offer a travel protection plan as well as a travel agent. Because we understand yoga and the desires and needs of Westerners, we serve as a bridge between the East and West.

Every trip consists of three leaders each with a different role. The local guide coordinates the in-country logistics such as hotels and transportation. The Redback leader organizes the overall trip and serves as the liaison between the yoga group and the local guide. The yoga teacher leads a daily yoga class and manages the group’s spiritual needs leading up to and during the trip. The teacher weaves yoga themes throughout the trip and initiates philosophical discussion whenever possible (train and bus rides work great!). Working closely together, the leaders manage the trip from all angles.

We help the yoga teacher market the trip with a web page on our website complete with online credit card processing and a registration form. We send monthly e-blasts and create a Facebook event page. We also provide the yoga teacher with fliers. The yoga teacher then advertises through personal announcements, flier postings, e-blasts, Facebook, etc. 

Download the Catalog to see some itinerary ideas or email us and we'll gladly send you a list of activities from which to choose.

Redback Travels offers an incentive program for our yoga teachers to travel free of charge based on the number of
students registered. The ideal group size is 14-18 but we can accommodate up to 22 people. The minimum size is 8.
For groups of 8-9 people, a higher charge will be incurred for each participant. We have found that people would prefer to pay a little more than cancel a trip.

Please allow 9-12 months to plan your journey.
