A word from Aarogya Devi (Wendy), “We have several points of difference, but one of the most important is that, as a westerner, I understand what is required to help westerners feel safe, taken-care of, listened to and understood as they journey into the delights and unknowns that is India. I personally arrange all the tours and am your personalized guide for many of them”.

My Spiritual India Tours
Introducing Aarogya Devi:
Founder and Guide
Aarogya Devi (Wendy) Matthews
With a deep love for India and a rich heritage, Aarogya Devi has dedicated the past 13 years to exploring the country's wonders. Her ancestral connection and natural curiosity led her on a transformative journey from a dissatisfied Western life as a lawyer in New Zealand to the spiritual depths of India.
Aarogya Devi's first trip began with an 8-week adventure, joining a group tour for safety and orientation. What was intended to be a two-month exploration evolved into a three-month soul-searching experience, including her first 200-hour Yoga Teachers Training in Rishikesh. It was there that her profound connection to the rituals and practices of the region blossomed, sparking her enduring love affair with this part of India.
Since then, Aarogya Devi returns every year for 5 months, to immerse herself in her own spiritual practice (sadhana), which encompasses the essence of My Spiritual India Tours. Recognising that others may yearn for a similar spiritual journey, she decided to specialise in small group tours, sharing the hidden gems and soul-stirring experiences of her beloved India.
Our Spiritual Group Tours are tailored for spiritually-minded travelers seeking both inner and outer transformation. Beyond the commercialised tourist path, we delve into lesser-explored areas, offering personalised, authentic encounters that engage your senses and uplift your spirit. By connecting with the energies of India's sacred sites, powerful transformations await.
These are not your typical cookie-cutter tours; all are an immersive, spiritual odyssey. With small, private groups ranging from 6 to 12 people, we craft captivating itineraries that take you on a profound journey into India's ancient and profound practices. Our aim is to offer you an experience beyond the surface, where you can truly embrace the essence of this vibrant culture.
Building on our philosophy of creating immersive, intimate journeys, our new Goa Yoga Vacation offers a luxurious 10-day retreat for small groups of 6 to 10 people. Set amidst the lush beauty of Southern Goa and the beachside surroundings, this unique experience combines daily yoga, pranayama, and sacred fire pujas with private, ocean-view accommodations, temple visits, and rejuvenating wellness activities. It’s a soulful escape into India’s spiritual and cultural heart.
Aarogya Devi divides her time between New Zealand and India, passionately guiding tours and practicing as a Therapist, Counsellor and Inner Awareness Facilitator in Auckland, NZ.
Join us on a My Spiritual India Tour and unlock the transformative power of India's timeless wisdom.
