Gorgeous Goa Beach Retreat

Feb 19 - 26, 2012

Experience Anusara Yoga in Goa, India

Honour the beauty and mystery of life as it pulsates within and around us: there are few things more inspiring than connecting your own yoga practice with its motherland and birthplace, India. This week-long retreat offers you daily yoga practice in the tropical surroundings of one of Goa's most beautiful and pristine beaches.

Our retreat centre, Ashiyana, is a peaceful haven for yoga and health. Your senses will delight in the delicious fresh food served at Ashiyana, the white sand of Mandrem beach, and the abundance of Goa's lush landscape, while your body and soul enjoy the daily energy boost of a dynamic morning yoga practice, followed by a soothing sunset practice in the late afternoon.

Ayurvedic treatments are available at Ashiyana. This retreat is designed to replenish and nourish every aspect of your being.
 
Our location is just a 90-minute drive from Dabolim, Goa's international airport. In Goa you will have the opportunity to visit the famous Anjuna markets and shop to your heart's content. We encourage you to make time before or after the retreat to explore some of the wonderful places that are so easily accessible from north Goa, for instance: Hampi, Gokarna, Agonda, Palolem – or venture further afield to witness the magic of the Taj Mahal, which is a short trip from Delhi. India is one of the most fascinating places on this earth – if it is your first trip to India, Goa is the perfect way to start your journey of discovery in this incredible land of diversity and extremes.

The retreat package includes airport transfer 7 nights' accommodation, breakfast & dinner, up to four hours of yoga practice each day, plus free time to play and explore.
