3-Day Beachside Yoga and Wellness Mini Escape in Goa, India

Agastya Yoga runs this mini escape from their center in Keri (Querim), North Goa, a two-minute walk from the beach. The retreat is designed to give you a taste of their longer programs—daily yoga, meditation, pranayama, workshops, and excursions—but compressed into a long weekend. It suits first-timers who aren't ready for a 200-hour training, as well as experienced practitioners who just need a few focused days.

Each day follows a rhythm: morning practice, a workshop or activity, free time, then an evening session. The yoga is Hatha and Vinyasa based, taught by Yogendra Ji, who has over 500 hours of training. Classes are tailored to the group, so beginners and advanced students practice side by side. Meditation and pranayama are woven into the schedule rather than tacked on.

Beyond the mat, the retreat includes experiences you won't find at a standard yoga retreat. There are ice baths and sauna sessions for physical recovery, ecstatic dance for letting loose, and cultural tours to nearby temples and heritage sites. A cooking class teaches you to make the sattvic dishes you've been eating all retreat.

The location in North Goa is a highlight in itself. Querim Beach is peaceful, unlike the busier beaches further south. The village has local markets, cafes, and the well-regarded Dhara Restaurant for authentic Goan food. Arambol Beach, known for its music scene and paragliding, is a short drive away for the adventurous.
