A Magical Journey to the Origin of Yoga

with Ewa Hagert

12^th Jan 2025 to 19^th Jan 2025 in Goa (1 week)

The journey takes us to northern Goa and the oasis Ashiyana Yoga Village, several times named one of the best yoga resorts in India, right by the Indian Ocean beach. It doesn’t get more fantastic, relaxing, and exciting than this. If you dream of making a once-in-a-lifetime yoga trip to India, this is the adventure for you. 7 days with YOURSELF in focus. Days filled with sunshine, community, yoga, and meditation in safe surroundings and a magical environment. At a balanced pace, we enjoy daily yoga classes, healthy and delicious Indian food, sun and sea, Ayurvedic massages, and relaxing accommodations right on the beach in charming Mandrem. With open minds and open hearts, we explore both outwardly and inwardly, to replenish your energy and find your inner glow and truth. Your inner journey closer to yourself.

During this trip, you will have time and peace to peel back the layers and find your inner core, your inner light. When does your light shine the brightest? What are you passionate about? What do you long for? We offer the conditions to find your innermost self, where your glow is, and where you can be exactly who you are. You will return from the trip with new self-insights and a few new tools, useful in 'real life' at home.

If you are eager for India, this is the yoga trip for you. The retreat is suitable for both beginners and experienced yogis who want to go deeper into their yoga practice. The types of yoga we use are Vinyasa and Hatha in the morning, and Yin or Restorative in the afternoon. Meditation, pranayama, and reflection are woven into all classes. Exercises for personal development are also included. No yoga experience is needed, everyone practices yoga according to their ability.
