Goa yoga holiday

Come and unwind in a true tropical escape.

Jim and Khadine are delighted to welcome guests to this beautiful setting. You’ll stay in luxury beach huts either right on the sand or set slightly back with a sea view, offering the perfect balance of comfort and nature.

Goa has long been loved for its beauty, and this quieter corner near the Karnataka border is especially peaceful. The retreat takes place on Polem Beach, a stunning stretch of coastline surrounded by nature and overlooking the Arabian Sea. Getting there is straightforward too, as Goa has an international airport, with some direct flights available from the UK.

A winter retreat for complete restoration

This 9-day retreat is designed for deep rest, immersive yoga practice and time in the sun by the sea. All tuition, accommodation and meals are included, creating an easy and nourishing experience from start to finish.

What’s included?

Daily yoga and meditation tuition

Each day includes two guided sessions, one in the morning before the heat builds and another in the late afternoon before dinner. Jim and Khadine will each teach a class daily, with a blend of yoga postures, meditation, breathwork and yoganidrā. Between them, they bring more than five decades of teaching experience.

Delicious homemade food

Meals are a highlight of the retreat, with a daily menu that includes morning fruit, brunch, dinner, afternoon snacks, coffee, tea and mineral water. Expect wholesome, freshly prepared food throughout your stay.

Accommodation

Wake up to the Arabian Sea, soft golden sand and swaying coconut palms just outside your door. Accommodation is in lovely wooden cabana huts with ensuite bathrooms, air conditioning, ceiling fans, mosquito nets and verandas. Some are directly on the beach, while others are just behind it but still enjoy a sea view. Twin, double and single occupancy options are available.

Accommodation options

All cabanas include ensuite facilities, A/C, ceiling fans, mosquito nets, bedding and towels. Guests also receive Ayurvedic care products, Wi-Fi and cleaning service. Each hut has a verandah with outdoor seating, and there are shared relaxation areas for everyone to enjoy.

Transfers can be organised by the venue if needed, and any health conditions must be shared in advance. Guests are also responsible for any damage or breakages caused during their stay.

Airport transfers cost 3500 rupees from Dabolim or 6500 rupees from North Goa, approximately £30 and £55 respectively. These transfers must be made with the retreat centre’s drivers, and arrangements will be organised for you.

Cancellations are subject to the following charges: before 6 weeks prior to the retreat start date, the deposit is retained; from 1 month to 6 weeks before departure, the deposit is retained plus £150; from 2 weeks to 1 month before departure, the deposit is retained plus £300; and cancellations within 2 weeks of the start date are charged in full.

Given the current situation in the Middle East, it is recommended to book direct flights to Goa where possible, or to fly to Bengaluru or Mumbai and continue with a domestic flight to Goa. Bengaluru is suggested as the most convenient option, and a recent journey via Bengaluru was described as smooth and stress-free.
