About Ashiyana

Location

The Ashiyana location offers a balance between the serenity of a coconut palm grove, bordered by the enchanting Mandrem River, and a beautiful quiet beach with the invigorating sound of the waves breaking against the shore just beyond the dunes.

Mandrem, a remote and sleepy fishing village in the north of Goa, has a number of restaurants, an internet cafe, a travel agent, a small organic shop, general grocery store and places to rent motorbikes or hire taxis. Thirty minutes away by road is the large market town of Mapusa, which has good coach connections to other Indian towns and cities.

A pleasant 40-minute stroll (10 mins by taxi) north along the beach is the lively and colorful village of Arambol. One of the main attractions to this distinctly 'hippy' hangout is the fresh-water lake separated from the sea by broad golden sands and it also has a post office, a small market, restaurants and beach-front bars, some featuring live music.

A southward stroll takes you along a quiet stretch of beach dotted with beach shacks and restaurants.

"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 ! ~Deborah"
