Location:

We have found a fabulous retreat centre called Ashiyana located on Mandrem Beach which is one of the most unspoilt areas of northern Goa. The Ashiyana location offers a balance between the serenity of a coconut palm grove, bordered by the enchanting Mandrem River and a beautiful beach with the invigorating sound of the waves breaking against the shore just beyond the dunes.
The retreat chef will be preparing two meals a day.
The yoga space is a delightful area that blends perfectly into the surroundings.
Ashiyana is full of brilliant sunshine, refreshing ocean breezes, and an away-from-it-all feel. It is an ideal place to relax, unwind and simply 'be'.

Sample daily schedule:

7.30-8am: Morning Meditation & Pranayama

8-10am: Prana Vinyasa flow yoga
A variety of active asana practices for all levels: dynamic vinyasa flow, energetic and alignment-based hatha yoga.

10am: Breakfast
With goodies like organic fruit, curd, a warm bhaji dish, fresh juices, and the delicious masala chai.

Afternoons:Soak in Goa’s energy, sunbath, swim, have blissful massages and take some time out to just rest and recharge.

6-7pm: Lunar yoga practice
This will consist of various techniques such as mantra, meditation, yoga nidra and restorative postures.

7.30pm Dinner
Enticing food by Ashiyana's experienced Chef.
A fusion of freshly prepared Indian and western vegetarian cuisine. Fresh fish and chicken dishes are served twice a week.

More fun stuff
The final evening will be a celebration and reflection of the time spent together with a closing ceremonial dinner and last night surprise!!!

We will also organise some optional trips to the Saturday night market and the famous Anjuna flea market along with other of Goa's famous landmarks and happenings.
