Monsoon Wellness Escape: 5-Day Yoga, Meditation & Sound Healing Retreat, Goa

Set in Querim, a quiet corner of North Goa, this 5-day retreat is designed for people who want to slow down properly. The location is about 45 minutes from Goa's GOX airport, surrounded by hills and palm trees, and the waves are audible from the rooms. It feels properly away from the busier parts of Goa, and the monsoon setting — green, rainy, and cool — adds a distinct character to the whole experience.

Mornings typically begin with yoga before it gets too warm, followed by daily meditation and pranayama sessions. The afternoons are largely unstructured, leaving time to sleep, read, or take an optional local excursion. Evenings include restorative yoga and, on one night, a sound healing session. At the end of the week, there's a closing ceremony and a final morning practice before departure. The schedule is flexible, and guests are encouraged to skip sessions if they need rest.

The teaching is led by Preity Bishht, who combines traditional yogic wisdom with modern mindfulness. Classes are taught from the ground up, so complete beginners are never lost. There are also two workshops during the week: one on yoga basics such as alignment and breath, and another on building a home practice. The retreat includes a group excursion on Day 3, weather permitting, and the itinerary is adjusted if conditions require.

Accommodation is simple but comfortable, with shared and private AC rooms available. Meals are vegetarian, freshly prepared with local produce, and served three times a day. The overall atmosphere is calm and community-oriented, with a cap on group size at 15 participants. Guests often come alone, and by the second day, the group usually knows each other well.
