BEST ME Journey
This is our signature program at Ashiyana, created in response to the challenging times in which we live – the age of stress and chronic dis-ease. BEST ME Journey enables you to realise your full potential and flourish, by learning how to access your flow state and create a healthy, natural lifestyle.
What is BEST ME Journey?
Currently available at Spain & Goa centres
This is a truly empowering journey of self-discovery and transformation based on two key realisations – your state of mind drives your behaviour; and your natural capacity for health, fulfillment and longevity is intrinsically linked to a natural lifestyle.

Transformational retreat experience
BEST ME Journey begins with an empowering 6 day retreat enabling you to envision new possibilities that will inspire you to reach your full potential.
Led by experienced facilitators, the retreat includes yoga sessions, guided meditations, interactive workshops, and personal reflection time. This immersive experience encourages deep relaxation, self-discovery, and the development of healthy habits for long-term transformation.
Online coaching with BEST ME Coach
On returning home your chosen Coach will guide you in recognising, and then transforming, your limiting beliefs into new, empowering ones.
Personal wellbeing program in app
A personal wellbeing program of small, daily ‘rituals’ will be created by your coach in the app, guiding you towards goals such as physical health, emotional balance, finances, or personal fulfillment. The app also provides reminders, a library, and progress tracking to keep you on course.
Community support
A core element of the BEST ME Journey is the sense of connection and support from like-minded individuals. Stay in touch with fellow retreat participants through online and offline gatherings, ensuring you maintain the bonds and shared energy that inspire your progress. These connections provide motivation, accountability, and encouragement.
Ongoing ecosystem of courses, retreats & trainings
BEST ME Journey is designed to be “the retreat that never ends.” Gain access to a dynamic ecosystem of ongoing classes, workshops, and retreats tailored to your goals. From advanced yoga sessions to personal growth seminars, you’ll have opportunities to continue your transformation and deepen your understanding of holistic wellbeing.
We believe that this is the most powerful system globally for optimising health, fulfilment and longevity
Almost two decades of running our retreat centres has given us a unique opportunity to understand that no matter which goals or challenges we face in life, our ability to meet these, and to feel fulfilled, is determined by our mindset and the way in which this shapes our behaviour.
In other words, if you learn how to master your state of mind, you take control of your life. We will give you all the support, tools and guidance that you need to realise what you truly want in life, what’s blocking you, and how to access your magical flow state and transform your life.
‘‘We live at the most incredible time in human history: Stress and chronic disease are spiralling out of control, war and discord abound, we are wantonly destroying our biosphere, and human satisfaction globally is, arguably, at an all-time low; and yet this is precisely what is creating the tipping point for a revolution in our individual thinking and behaviour. What an amazing time to be alive!’’
Chris, founder of Ashiyana and BEST ME journey.

Introduction
Led by Chris, our founder, and framed around the four steps of our BEST ME (H.O.P.E.) Model, the retreat has been designed to inspire you to envision the best possible version of yourself. Once you’re clear about this we take a deep dive into recognising your inner obstacles and how these have been blocking you from feeling fulfilled. Next, we start to consider little adjustments to your lifestyle, such as sleep, nutrition, exercise, and relationships.
The key to it all, though, is learning to access your flow state since this is the alchemical ingredient for transformation 🙂
Is BEST ME Journey for you?
Life seems to have become ever more stressful, and it’s increasingly hard to make the right decisions for our health and fulfillment. Conflicting views and reports in the media as well as the abundance of one-size-fits-all solutions make matters worse.
Whether you’re looking to calm your mind, sleep better, lose some weight and become fitter, or create financial abundance, you will need a program that is personalised to your specific goals and needs. What we are talking about here is sustainable behavioural change, and that is a complex domain which requires a multi-faceted approach.
The reason that almost all diets, hacks, fads, and New Year’s resolutions don’t work is because you don’t have the right support and guidance, and the goals themselves are probably not heartfelt. If you truly want to transform an area, or areas, of your life then you need clarity of intention and discipline. But you also need a system of support that empowers and guides you: we believe that we have the most powerful system available.
If you’re inspired by the possibility of realising your full potential, then book a FREE call to discover what your BEST ME Journey might look like. 🙏
If you truly want to transform an area, or areas, of your life, such as:
- Deal with mental & emotional challenges
- Sleep better
- Feel more fulfilled
- Lose weight and become fitter
- Have more energy
- Optimise your career
- Create financial abundance
…You will need the right information, support and guidance. Book a FREE call with one of our coaches and we’ll explain exactly how BEST ME Journey can enable you to realise your full potential.

What is BEST ME?
BEST ME is a unique on and offline wellbeing system that supports you in becoming the best possible version of yourself. It’s all about supporting a gradual evolution in your behaviour across multiple areas of your lifestyle – mind and emotions, sleep and relaxation, nutrition, exercise and movement, relationships, nurturing surroundings, creativity, financial abundance, and spiritual growth.
Our research has revealed that there are several elements which are required to create long term change in your lifestyle habits; or what is called ‘sustainable behavioural change’:
Compassionate and wise human guidance and support
A program personalised to your specific goals and needs
An holistic approach - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual
An offline element comprising retreats, trainings & gatherings
A digital element that supports and catalyses the human element
The possibility to collaborate with, and be inspired by, your peers
A Holistic Retreat Experience with the BEST ME Model
The retreat is designed to both challenge and empower you, so that at times you may feel uncomfortable, and at other times exhilarated and inspired.
While there will be workshops and activities throughout much of the day, there are other, key lifestyle elements which are equally important – sleep, movement, rest and relaxation, alone time, good nutrition and so on. The workshops will cover the four steps of the BEST ME model:
Heartfelt desire - Realising what you truly want.
Obstacle - Transcending your blocks.
Pillars of wellbeing - Personalised wellbeing program
Empowered action - Learning to access your flow state.
Prices include the full BEST ME Journey program:
