Autumn Retreat in South India
with Marta Carrascal and Lucas Masciano
16th Nov 2024 to 23rd Nov 2024 in Goa (1 week)
A retreat designed for yoga practitioners who want to slow down for a few days and deepen their yoga practice in South India. This retreat offers the opportunity to enjoy free time, connect with nature, taste Indian curries and delight in the best sunsets on the shores of the Arabian Sea, all in an environment focused on the practice of yoga, breathing, mantras and the rest that the practice of Yoga Nidra provides us.
Each morning, you will participate in an exclusive yoga and mobility program, followed by mantra meditation. After a delicious brunch and free time to explore, we will meet in the afternoons for technical yoga workshops, talks, and specific sessions on yoga nidra, meditation, and sharing circles.
An enriching journey for those seeking a meaningful experience by retreating for a few days, deepening their practice, gaining perspective, resting and getting to know this region of southern India.
Morning vinyasa yoga and mobility practice.
Asana technical workshops, with a personalized approach based on your level of experience.
The practice of Bhakti Yoga, meditation and mantra, to cultivate presence and devotion through group singing.
Daily Yoga Nidra sessions, designed to improve sleep, navigate liminal dreams with lucidity, and deepen nondual meditation.
Thematic yoga talks, where we will address relevant topics that will enrich your practice and give you a more complete vision of your journey on the retreat.
