Journey Home
with Chloe Porter and Christian Gentile
with guest workshop teachers Prashant Tewatia and Tapashi Devchoudhury
25th Feb 2024 to 03rd Mar 2024 in Goa (1 week)
Journey to Goa with us for an unforgettable week of yoga, pranayama and meditation. India is a land of adventure, deep reflection and transformation. Having a solid connection and many years under our belt living there we are honored to guide you to this beautiful place. Whether it is the dedicated practice, community, incredible beach walks, nourishing food or the combination there is something magical there. It is the perfect place to travel to in India in particular for a restorative trip. This retreat is open to all levels. The most important thing is that you have an eagerness to learn and discover. Although classes are longer that you may be used to they include more. Opening meditation and breathing practice, a long warm up, practice peak, a long cool down and savasana followed by closing meditation. Practicing this way allows the student to really integrate the practice and work to their level. There will be ample modifications and props available as well as space to deeply grow in your practice physically, mentally and spiritually. Please talk to us if you are unsure of your practice level.
Expect fun but deep practices that help you grow both on and off the mat. Chloe & Christian have run over 40 retreats together and create a safe, loving and fun atmosphere to practice in. Alongside the Ashiyana environment, evenings events and workshops you will not want to go home.
