3-Day Wellness & Yoga Escape by the Beach in Goa, India

The retreat runs over three days and two nights, starting with a welcome ceremony on arrival and ending with a closing circle where you can reflect on the experience. Between those bookends, you'll practice yoga at least twice a day—morning sessions are often on the beach, while evening classes happen in the shala. Meditation and pranayama are woven into the daily flow, with options to go deeper if you're a more experienced practitioner.

What makes this weekend different from a standard yoga holiday is the range of activities packed into a short time. There's an ice bath and sauna session for physical recovery, an ecstatic dance night for letting loose, and a sound healing evening for winding down. A cooking class gets you into the kitchen, and the cultural tour takes you into the nearby village. It's a busy schedule, but with enough free time to rest or explore on your own.

The teaching is led by Yogendra Ji, who has over 500 hours of training and has built a strong reputation at the school, which also runs 200-hour teacher trainings. Guests consistently mention the quality of the teachers and the peaceful atmosphere. The setting helps—Agastya is in a green, quiet part of North Goa, close enough to the beach to hear the waves but away from the noise and crowds of the busier tourist spots.

The food is a highlight on its own. All meals are vegetarian, freshly cooked with local ingredients, and designed to support your practice—light, sattvic, and full of flavour. Guests talk about the 'excellent chef' and the 'amazing food', and it's served three times a day in a communal setting that encourages you to slow down and eat mindfully.

By the end of the weekend, the aim is that you leave feeling stretched, relaxed, and a bit clearer in the head. It's a short retreat with no pretension—just good teaching, good food, and a peaceful place to switch off for a few days.
