Thank you!"

"To Chris and his lovely team
Thank you for a wonderful week of heavenly yoga, lush food and peaceful surroundings. I have walked away with a sense of calm and ease in which I hope to bring into my every day life now. You will be pleased to know that I have continued with an hour of yoga daily and am even practising with my 9 yr daughter :) Thanks and maybe see you again one day, hopefully in Brazil. Best wishes. Ingrid"

"I have had a wonderful week at the resort. The yoga teachers were all great and I've learned a lot. The food was delicious and the accommodation comfortable. I can recommend one of the new beach huts. Last but not least; the beach near the resort is one of the best in Goa. Thank you for everything!"

"A serene site located between the Mandrem River and the coast of the Indian Ocean in northern Goa, India, Ashiyana has daily yoga and meditation classes with resident teachers, plus yoga retreats with visiting international teachers scheduled throughout the season. Guests stay in bungalows overlooking the beach and dine on Indian and Western vegetarian cuisine. "

"Chris and Team, thank you all for what was a wonderful wonderful week! After 70 hour week's in London, I've come home feeling rejuvenated and happy. You've created such a special place with a fabulous community feeling.
I'm now back in cold London looking longingly at my lovely pictures from the retreat... aching for my next fix!
Your team were all amazing, everyone one of them (love to Chandra, and Tek), and the yoga classes whilst challenging, were also gentle and didn't feel at all daunting, even as a beginner.
I particularly liked the variety of teaching styles / methods...All the teachers were so attentive and knew how much to challenge you. Special mention to Matt on this who helped me so much with trying the headstand and improving my shoulder stand technique. Also Yamuna's massage during the Shevasna sessions left you feeling like you could float out of the class....wonderful!
I wish you all great success for the future.
Many many thanks!
With love, Mindy x"

"I was lucky enough to spend one week at Ashiyana in December 2007, where I felt all the tensions fall off me right from the start.. The peaceful centre, its friendly staff and Karma's mouth-watering cooking make this place a little paradise on earth. I will be sure to return!"

"Hi,
This is a very nice place from the site you can make out. I am working in Oman for more than 7 years. I am basically brought up in Goa but never heard about this place. I have been to Arambol beach many times.
During this visit to Goa, India I will make a point to visit ASHIYANA."

"The madness of the Heart is the height of Wisdom;
The confusion of Love is beyond logic's comprehension.
Though I haven't visited you all - your conscious selves & your abode of love and well-being, I feel the radiance of Bliss that's been emanated from you.
We shall be together one day - in and out of Meditation. Till then, Best Wishes!!! Keep up your smile! "

"Now back in wintry North Germany, I am warmed by memories of my recent trip to India. Although my visit was short, my experience at Ashiyana was deeply gratifying. I had the good luck to be able to attend a few "drop-in" yoga classes with Chris. Not so much the style of yoga, but the gentle instruction, assistance, and friendly atmosphere, all conducive to relaxation of body, mind and soul, supporting the process of opening up and gaining more body awareness, have left a lasting impression on me. I find myself, without any conscious prompting, correcting my posture (i.e., tucking my chin in or imagining the invisible cord at the top of my head (!)). And this only after 3 sessions! Thank you again, Chris! The beneficial results of this yoga experience have inspired me to begin a regular class here. Who knows, maybe I will become a yoga teacher as well and visit you as a guest trainer in a few years !!! This ambition just oozes with delightful energy !
May your beautiful vision gracefully blossom to reality !

"Namasté
Back in cold Switzerland :-( I enjoyed my few yoga sessions at Ashiyana very much! I can't forget the magnificent view, the sound of the palm leaves... On my journey in India I met a lot of unserious so called "yoga teachers" - I'm glad there are people like you, committed to what they do, with passion and honesty. Thank u very much and good luck with your retreat center."
