A beautiful blend of the ancient wisdom of Yoga, psychotherapy, CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), and a range of nurturing Eastern and Western bodywork treatments. This retreat is excellent for transmuting fear, anxiety, loneliness, stress and other troubling emotions, as well as for optimising your relationships.
Ashiyana Yoga
Based on our unique form of ‘Ashiyana Yoga’, this retreat leaves you free to relax and take treatments for much of the day.
A wonderfully relaxing holiday, popular with those who are either new, or relatively new, to Yoga. Our teachers are all highly trained, and very gentle, so you will be completely safe and in good hands. Please remember that you don’t need to be flexible to do Yoga - if your body is a little tight that is a good reason to try Yoga ;)
Yoga & Kite Surfing
Goa is becoming a famous destination for kitesurfing, and there’s nothing quite so wonderful as surfing the waves, followed by a mindful session of Ashiyana Yoga.
The wind and waves are best in February and March for experienced kite surfers, but for beginners and less experienced kite surfers the gentle sea that prevails for much of the rest of the season is just perfect.
Where Passion Meets Purpose
Discover and embrace your incredible power to overcome obstacles and manifest your dreams using our unique HOPE model.
Our BEST ME Retreat™ is an introduction to our full World of wellbeing, whereas this retreat focusses specifically on manifesting your dreams. This retreat is perfect for anyone that has a clear idea of their dream/dreams, but is struggling to bring it/them into reality. There are only a few reasons why we are not manifesting our dreams, and the solution always lies in our HOPE model.
