The Ashiyana Journey with Chris
with Chris Nelson
27th June to 3rd July
This is a unique wellbeing system that supports gradual change in mind, emotions, nutrition, and movement, helping you become the best version of yourself.
English
The Ashiyana Journey™ is a unique online and offline wellbeing system that supports you in becoming the best possible version of yourself. It’s all about supporting a gradual evolution in your behaviour across multiple areas of your lifestyle – mind and emotions, sleep and relaxation, nutrition, exercise and movement, relationships, nurturing surroundings, creativity, financial abundance, and spiritual growth.
We will explore the fundamentals of behavioural change, specifically what enables and supports you in creating permanent change in your life. Whatever your goals and intentions are – whether it’s calming your mind, alleviating joint pain, or managing a challenging relationship – you will need to address your mind and emotions. This is because what you think, feel, and believe determines both what you attract and how you behave. That’s why we place so much importance on addressing calmness and clarity of mind.
The Ashiyana Journey™
The Ashiyana Journey™ is a retreat and ongoing pathway designed to help you return to rhythm and belonging. It supports steady, meaningful change across the foundations of your life — your mind and emotions, sleep and rest, movement, nourishment, relationships, environment, creativity, purpose, and inner clarity.
Rather than chasing breakthroughs, we focus on what allows change to stabilise. Because lasting change does not come from intensity. It comes from calmness, clarity, and repetition.
What We Explore
During the retreat, we move through four core stages:
– Heart — Clarify what truly matters to you.
– Obstacles — Understand the beliefs and patterns that hold you back.
– Pillars of Wellbeing — Create small, sustainable lifestyle shifts.
– Empowered Action — Learn practical tools to steady the mind and emotions.
Alongside the workshops, the retreat supports rest, reflection, nourishing food, movement, and space to simply be. It is immersive, grounding, and at times gently challenging.
The Retreat That Never Ends
The retreat opens the door. What follows is integration.
When you return home, you enter a guided phase designed to help what you experienced settle into daily life — supported by:
– Weekly guided reflections
– Personal support conversations
– Small peer circles
– Ongoing community rhythm
This is not an event.
It is the beginning of living the Ashiyana Way™

INSTRUCTORS
Chris Nelson
Chris is a coach, writer, yoga teacher, and entrepreneur who has been exploring the world of holistic wellbeing for most of his adult life. In his early thirties, he felt the call to ‘slow his life down’, and he dived headlong into Yoga.
While running yoga retreats around the world, Chris discovered an idyllic spot where he could realise his long-held dream of creating a paradisiacal, tropical retreat centre. Ashiyana Goa opened its bridge entrance to the world in December 2006, and year upon year it has grown and evolved into being one of the most acclaimed yoga and healing centres in India and the world. In 2019, he opened a second centre in Brazil, and then a third in Spain in 2024.
