Antastha Yatra • 10 Days

Yoga Retreat in Goa

Sometimes, nothing is wrong, and yet something inside you is asking for change.

A 10-day yoga retreat in Goa where you can pause your usual rhythm, turn inward, and create the life of your dreams. For the past 15 years, we have offered this retreat twice a year, bringing together almost 30 retreats and people from different parts of the world.

Over the years, it has become a space where people come not simply to practise Yoga, but to reconnect with themselves and gain clarity through the insights.

What our students say

More than a retreat, Antastha Yatra provides a supportive environment to pause your daily rhythm, turn inward, and reconnect with yourself. It gives you practical tools and deep insights to overcome life's roadblocks and restore balance.

Faq's

No, the retreat is open to all levels. Whether you are a complete beginner, an experienced yogi, or going through a period of burnout and stress, Antastha Yatra is designed as a space for personal reflection, growth, and renewal rather than physical performance.

Your day balances structured practice with ample free time. Mornings begin with meditation and a guided yoga class followed by breakfast and a lecture. You will have a long afternoon break to swim, rest, or explore Goa before reconnecting for late afternoon Yoga Nidra and an evening yoga session.

Mandrem Beach provides an ideal, undisturbed environment for deep inner work. Located away from crowded tourist hubs, it offers quiet beaches, natural beauty, affordable Ayurveda treatments, and a peaceful environment that supports slowing down and reconnecting with yourself.

Pack light, comfortable cotton or linen clothing for yoga practice and hot weather. Bring a light layer for cooler early mornings, swimwear, sun protection, insect repellent, and personal toiletries. Yoga mats and props are provided at the shala, though you are welcome to bring your own mat towel or favorite mat.

What Happens During the Retreat

Each day combines carefully guided Yoga practices, precise and practical lectures, experiential processes, meditation, and Yoga Nidra.

The retreat is designed to take you beyond simply doing Yoga and towards understanding and experiencing it. Our lectures are the soul of the retreat. Around one hour each day, they are focused, practical, and to the point, offering insights that you can connect directly to your own life.

Rather than simply giving you information, the intention is to help you observe yourself, find what stops you and find the tricks to trick your mind to overcome those roadblocks. You learn yoga as a life management system.

Through guided practices and expert support, you will gain the tools to build resilience, find clarity, and restore balance in your life. As you step away from daily distractions, this process will help you reconnect with yourself in a meaningful way.

We look forward to embarking on this journey with you at our yoga retreat.

The Place Is Part of the Journey

The place itself is an important part of the experience. We know that travelling to Goa from Europe requires extra time, effort, and expense. Yet we continue to return because this combination is difficult to find elsewhere. Excellent massages and Ayurveda treatments, nourishing food, nature, and everything you may need are easily accessible, affordable, and right around you.

And beyond all of this, there is something special about the energy of this place that cannot really be explained or photographed. It can only be felt. Over the years, we have seen what can only be described as magic happens here.

Three experienced teachers are present throughout the retreat, bringing different perspectives, teaching styles, and energies. This allows participants to connect naturally with different teachers and find the guidance and connection that feels right for them. The combination creates a rich and varied experience throughout the 10 days.

From the moment you wake up, you are immersed in the magic of Goa. As you walk to the shala beneath swaying palm trees, the sounds of birdsong and the gentle stir of the waking village set the tone for a peaceful and enriching day

Your morning begins with meditation and a carefully guided yoga practice, followed by a nourishing breakfast that prepares you for an insightful lecture or process session.

The long midday break offers the perfect opportunity to recharge—whether that means reading a book, taking a dip in the Arabian Sea, indulging in a relaxing massage, or simply unwinding on the beach with a fresh juice in hand.

As the day winds down, we come together for an evening yoga session, finishing just in time to witness Goa’s breathtaking sunset. A refreshing shower, a delicious dinner, and time spent connecting with the group or locals create the perfect ending to a fulfilling day.

Mandrem – Goa, India

Mandrem Beach is one of the few remaining quiet beaches in Goa, offering a peaceful and undisturbed setting for deep relaxation and inner work. We like to call it Yoga Beach—a place that offers the perfect environment for reconnecting with yourself. Surrounded by soft sands, swaying palm trees, and the soothing rhythm of the Arabian Sea, it invites you to slow down and simply be. Just a little to the left, you’ll find Silent Beach, a secluded stretch of coastline where turtles come to lay their eggs, adding to the area's natural serenity.

Our retreat takes place at Dunes Holiday Village, a tranquil and welcoming space that becomes your home throughout the journey. Nestled in nature, it offers a safe and comfortable setting where you can fully immerse yourself in the retreat experience. Without distractions, you can enjoy nourishing meals, fresh juices, and quiet moments of reflection.

The local community is warm and accustomed to the presence of those seeking peace, healing, and self-discovery. Goa’s unique cultural heritage, shaped by its Portuguese past, is subtly woven into the surroundings, from the architecture to the gentle way of life here.

At Mandrem Beach, time slows down. Whether practicing Yoga, meditating by the sea, or simply resting under the shade of a palm tree, this is a place where you can truly disconnect from the ‘noise of the world’ and return to yourself.
