Ashiyana Goa

Your home away from home

Ashiyana Goa 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.

Home is where we feel safe, supported, cherished and loved

When we practice Yoga and mindfulness, we start to feel at home within ourselves. We find that home can exist wherever we are in the world. We welcome you to join us, our ever-evolving family, in this beautiful home immersed in nature, where time stops, hearts open and healing begins.

Introduction

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 creating a gradual evolution in your behaviour across multiple areas of your lifestyle.

Yoga & Wellbeing holiday

Our Yoga holidays have been our most popular offer since we began in 2006. They include – a choice of beautiful accommodation options, 2 delicious, nutritious buffet meals, 2 daily Yoga classes, and evening activities. Unlike a retreat there is no group schedule other than the Yoga classes, so with our classic Yoga Holiday you can spend time relaxing in our beautiful gardens or on the expansive beach.

Alternatively we have the Yoga Holiday Deep Dive, where you can add a range of tailored wellbeing experiences – 1:1 Yoga, breathwork and meditation; coaching, massage and other treatments – which are designed to support you more deeply on your wellbeing journey. All of our teachers and other practitioners are highly trained, and very gentle, so you will be completely safe and in good hands.

Yoga Holiday ‘Deep Dive’

A deeper exploration of the health-giving power of Yoga and bodywork. Apart from the morning pranayama and meditation session and twice daily Yoga classes you will have at least one massage treatment every day.

The morning session of pranayama and meditation is such a beautiful way to begin your day. Follow this with a dynamic Yoga class at 8:30am in one of our spacious and airy Yoga shalas. You’ll love our delicious, healthy buffet brunch (we’re famous for it!) in our spacious restaurant overlooking the paddy fields and hills behind. In between your Yoga classes, massages, and Private pranayama and meditation sessions you’ll still have time to soak up the sun, go on leisurely walks, enjoy incredible sunsets on our endless beach and perhaps even explore the sights of Goa – local markets, spice farms, Dudsagar waterfall and majestic churches. Afternoon yoga at 4pm is a slower, more gentle class easing you into the evening. The evening buffet meal is an eclectic mix of Indian, Thai and European cuisine, rounded off with ‘Tek’s’ famous desserts. Ease yourself towards bed with our evening activities at 8:15pm including kirtan, meditation, classical Indian music and much more.

Yoga Holiday

A wonderfully relaxing holiday that gives you the freedom to attend one or more of our yoga classes and then do whatever you want with the rest of the day. 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 😉

Start your day off with a dynamic Yoga class at 8am in one of our spacious and airy Yoga shalas. Now feast on a delicious, healthy buffet brunch (we’re famous for this!) in our spacious restaurant overlooking the paddy fields and hills behind. You’ll have plenty of free time to soak up the sun, go on leisurely walks, enjoy incredible sunsets on our endless beach and explore the beauty of Goa with its local markets, spice farms, Dudsagar waterfall and majestic churches. Afternoon yoga at 4pm is a slower, more gentle class easing you into the evening. The evening buffet meal is an eclectic mix of Indian, Thai and European cuisine, rounded off with ‘Tek’s’ famous desserts. Our evening activities at 8:15pm – including kirtan, meditation, classical Indian music and more – will prepare you beautifully for an early night 🙂

Our Yoga Holiday package at Ashiyana Goa includes

Accommodation

An eclectic mix including wooden tree houses, spacious rooms with breath taking river views, and luxury suites sumptuously furnished with antique Rajasthani furniture.

Food

Famous for our food, we offer a fusion of east and west including Indian, Nepalese and Thai specialities, as well as cold-pressed juices, raw food yumminess and to-die-for healthy desserts.

Yoga

More a quality of mind than it is a style of Yoga - it’s all about offering our guests a safe and nurturing space where they can sense inwardly, and move mindfully.

Evening Activities

Our evening activities might be gently invigorating or relaxing, whatever the case, they invite introspection and easing of the body-mind, which are central to the ‘Ashiyana Experience’.

Additional workshops

We have incredible massages, one to one (private) yoga sessions, and other treatments at our Ashiyana Spa where we specialise in Ayurveda and our signature BEST ME (lifestyle) coaching.

Refreshments

Our water in the restaurant is lovingly filtered, and we offer masala chai, lemon and ginger, lemon grass and other teas 24hrs a day. Can’t resist the caffeine urge? Sorted 😉

Yoga & Wellbeing holiday

Unlike a retreat there is no group schedule, so you can either spend time relaxing alone or hang out with others. With our classic Yoga Holiday you’re free to do as little or as much as you want. You can attend one or both yoga classes and then do as you please for the rest of the day.

All of our teachers and other practitioners are highly trained, and very gentle, so you will be completely safe and in good hands.

Find a perfect, shady spot amongst the abundant flora and fauna for reading, relaxing and contemplating; or walk the vast expanse of beaches and discover the cool, little bars and boutiques fronting the beach. We also encourage you to chat with reception about the various excursions, cultural activities and early morning dolphin trips that this magical beachside paradise offers.

Yoga Retreats Goa Schedule

Our retreat leaders have all been with us for many years and are selected not only for their specific areas of expertise, but also because they are full of compassion, understanding and patience.

“Be Golden” A Kundaini Yoga Retreat and Spring Equinox Retreat

with with Kiranjot

My yoga retreats all follow the process of Banish > Purify > Invoke. This allows us to create space to nourish our spiritual connection and move forward in life, connected to the light within.

A retreat is not a holiday, it’s a deep soul searching and opportunity to create lasting change. It’s only with awareness that we are able to drop our emotional baggage, address the habits that drive our negativity and free ourselves from our attachments to our pain.

Soul Source Retreat

with Tanja Mickwitz

Tanja will guide you through a variety of practices including soulful flow, restorative practices, meditation, chanting, free flow movement (JourneyDance inspired), journalling and contemplation. The week will become a journey offering you relaxation, a re-set and a reconnection with yourself whilst also resourcing you through the varied practices to return to your life more centred and aligned.

Each day we will meet for morning and afternoon practice, with one day off during the week to make time for outings further afield (or simply more rest). We will enjoy a generous buffet brunch and delicious dinner together at Ashiyana every day of the retreat. In between practices and meals you will have plenty of time to enjoy the beach, make use of the spa treatments, visit the shops and cafes in Mandrem beach village, or simply curl up in a shaded hammock to read a book or have a snooze. You will have as much alone time or togetherness as you wish for. The connections we make on retreat are special, but so is the opportunity for ‘me-time’.

Fire & Nectar – A Soulful Journey through the Elements

with Margherita

There will be a morning and an evening practice each day. Following the rhythm of the day, the morning sessions are invigorating, transformative and cleansing for the mind and body, and the evening practice, more lunar and nurturing, incorporates meditation, yoga nidra and relaxation. Two half days or one full day off mid week to explore the beautiful markets and sightseeing.

Mornings generally at 7:30am we will have a chai tea and fruit before yoga at 8am and brunch after practice. On the excursion days we will change meal schedules to enable free time. Usually we end up having the same all week to free up time, ie light snack before practice, brunch after practice and then dinner after the evening practice. On some days we have an earlier afternoon practice to allow to a swim and sunset gazing before dinner.

Detox

At Ashiyana we believe in detoxing at least once a year. Our lives tend to be stressful, and we’re ingesting toxins through the air that we breathe, the food that we eat, and the water that we drink and wash in. Giving your body and mind time to rest and rebalance is a proven method of disease prevention and promoting longevity.

Training

The Ashiyana Training School has been running trainings since 2010. With hundreds of graduates from all across the world, we are globally recognised for our unique approach to Yoga and Wellbeing.

Our trainings are so much more than just a training, and many view them as self-development courses that equip you with essential life skills at a time when self-responsibility is dwindling, and there is a corresponding explosion in chronic, lifestyle diseases.

We strongly believe that the world needs many more Yoga teachers, as well as more wellbeing practitioners in general. However, we also recognise that precisely what these practitioners offer needs to evolve with our fast-changing times. We invite you therefore to consider how you might create a differentiated offer from what is already available, as well as a more holistic offer that better addresses the lifestyle guidance that your clients are so much in need of.

BEST ME Online Coach Training - ‘The Yoga teacher of the future’

Chris, Tobie, Charlotte and other members of our wellbeing team

We are very excited to offer this training which has been seven years in the making. Chris, Tobie, Charlotte and others in the team have been discussing the need for a whole new approach to yoga teaching and coaching that meets the needs of today’s client. There are hundreds of thousands of yoga teachers, and multiple types of coach, but none of them are being trained to work in a way that embraces the whole of the human lifestyle. Yoga is the perfect system for today’s challenges, but it’s true expression has mostly been lost. Life is complex and stressful for so many of us these days, and there is a profound need for a support system which centres on holistic wellbeing experts who are both full of compassion and also supported by an on and offline ecosystem.

We have created a training that merges the ancient wisdom of yoga with modern therapeutic techniques and cutting edge science. We offer this as an on and offline course – 150hr online, plus a 50hr module at one of our centres. This offline module will take the form of a practicum which allows us to assess you face to face and give the feedback and guidance that will ensure the best possible version of YOU as a coach.

200HR Yoga Teacher Training - 3 Weeks Intensive in Goa

Ashiyana Teachers

Yoga Alliance 200 hours certified

At Ashiyana, we believe that the most important aspect of teaching today is that you are able to express yourself from an open heart, discovering your inner peace and therefore having the capacity to truly give of yourself. We wish to create self-empowered teachers, who teach intuitively instead of merely following our or someone else’s ideas…

It is not necessary that you go on to teach yoga after this course, our intention is to inspire you to be more of yourself – authentic, confident, loving, clear, and flowing with life. In this way, you will discover even more about your divine purpose here on earth.

Ashiyana Dining Experience

Sourced from local producers and created by celebrated chefs, the Ashiyana Goa restaurant offers two mouth-wateringly, delicious meals per day; post-Yoga brunch and evening dinner. Inspired by the finest home-grown ingredients, our two chefs, Rathi and Tek, prepare unique, flavour-filled creations that fuse Indian, Nepalese and Thai recipes with western cuisine.

Non-residential guests are welcome to join us for meals – please book first at reception.

Food & Nutrition

We believe that 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.

A wholesome, balanced diet

Our food is fresh, and wherever possible, organic. We also source our produce locally, and according to the seasons.

We begin our nightly ‘fast’ by not eating late in the evening, and ‘break’ it around 14 hrs later, at 10am. Consuming food whilst our prana levels are high (avoiding late night or early morning), and eating a wholesome, balanced diet that is rich in nutrients,
whilst feeling calm and happy, nurtures us physically, emotionally and mentally.

A typical dinner menu

Leafy green salad with avocado, beetroot, cherry tomatoes, pomegranate, red pepper, carrot and toasted sesame and pumpkin seeds
Local rice
Channa Daal (chickpea and lentil indian stew)
Vegetable Curry
Spinach Pie (a baked ‘pie’ of sweet potato and carrot mash, topped with spinach)
Sautéed vegetable stir-fry
Chocolate Balls
Selection of dried fruit and nuts
