FOOD
The Retreat centre offers Breakfast, but my favourite place on the cliff is a place called the coffee temple which makes the best Cappuccino's, ginger shots and buddha bowls!
​
The local food is amazing and oh so inexpensive. We work with local restaurants so we can all eat together each evening.
*not included in price of retreat.
The ethos of this retreat is 100% health and well-being, giving you time to relax, unwind and reconnect. BUT for those looking for a bit of a party, there is plenty to do, including cool restaurants and beach parties.
It’s 10 days of daily yoga, meditation, plus lots of sleep & sunshine so you can expect to leave feeling rejuvenated

Please check restrictions and guidelines for entry into India- you will need a visa, but it is faily straight forward, but if you need help we will be there to help.
​
*I would suggest staying a few extra days for a full experience.
It is the perfect balance of effort and surrender-nurture yourself with challenging Vinyasa yoga in the mornings, then explore your personal practice and some fun advancements. It is all suitable for most abilities.
​
The morning Vinyasa will be creative, flowing and challenging and we slow down in the evening class where we will cover a variety of topics in a workshop setting including:partner yoga, the 8 limbs of yoga, chakras, arm balances, inversions, and pranayama. Pick and choose, do a little or a lot, it is your holiday to enjoy. The retreat setting allows for plenty of individual guidance so that we’ll be able to work with your specific level and requirements. Getting away in a beautiful setting to practice yoga is just amazing and will leave you feeling refreshed and revived.
