PILGRIMAGE
Return to the Source. Come home to where Yoga began.
There is a subtle remembering that happens when your feet touch the soil of India.
A softening. A recognition. A call from somewhere ancient — older than your name, older than your story.
This retreat is your invitation to return to the Motherland of Yoga.
To breathe where the teachings were born.
To listen where sages once sat.
To embody the path—not as a concept—but as a lived experience.
Over 8 days in Goa, we’ll immerse into the heart of Yoga:
Bhakti, meditation, mantra, mythology, movement, philosophy, devotion, stillness, and prayer.
This is not a holiday.
This is remembrance.
A pilgrimage of the inner world.

7 nights / 8 days accommodation in a private retreat sanctuary

Twice-daily yoga practices (Bhakti Flow, Mantra, Tantra-inspired meditation, Yin & Rest)

EXPERIENCE INDIA
India is more than a place — it is a frequency.
A land of colour, prayer-call, incense, temple bells and humanity in her fullest expression.
In Goa, we soften into the Motherland gently.
Here, the pace of life is slower. The air is warm. The heart opens easily.
Our Shala is hidden amidst a palm grove surrounded by the enchanting Mandrem river….crossing the bridge takes you to an endless expanse of beach fronting the magical Arabian Sea. This is your home away from home, a nurturing sanctuary where we offer our loving embrace and invite you to feel relaxed and at peace.
This retreat offers a grounded entry into India — supportive, spacious, and held — so that you can receive Her essence with reverence, presence, and grace.

THE FOOD
Nutrition plays a vital role in our overall health, happiness and wellbeing.
What is often overlooked, however, is that nutrition is not just about what you are eat, but also when you eat, and your mental, emotional and physical state at the time of eating.
Our meals will be fresh, and wherever possible, organic. The kitchen will also source our produce locally, and according to the seasons.
Expect nourishing, grounding, vegetarian meals rooted in Ayurvedic principles:
Seasonal vegetables. Fresh fruit. Coconut. Dahls. Chapati. Herbal teas. Warm spices. Food prepared with love and prāṇa.
Every meal is a reminder that nourishment is devotion.
