30-Day Jungle & Beach Yoga Immersion in Agonda, Goa

The structure at Om Yoga Shala is steady and deliberate. A typical day opens with a prayer and a pranayama session, followed by a gentle Hatha or Vinyasa class in the open-air hall as the birds start singing. Breakfast lands at 9 AM, and at 11 AM there's a yoga philosophy session that gets into the Yoga Sutras and Vedanta — not as abstract theory, but applied to daily habits and the way you think. A light lunch follows at 1 PM, and then the afternoon is yours until the 4 PM Ashtanga Vinyasa intensive.

What makes this different from a standard beach yoga holiday is the depth of the teaching. Sanjeev trained as an engineer before leaving his business to teach, and he brings that analytical clarity to the mat. Poses are explained in detail, adjusted to each individual body, and the Ashtanga sequence is approached without forcing. Reviews repeatedly mention getting into poses they'd never done before and leaving with a lower resting heart rate and a quieter mind.

Evenings are open for personal exploration — a sunset from the hill, a beach walk, or simply resting. At 7 PM there's a vegetarian dinner, and most nights end with optional group singing or bhajans. Sundays are a full rest day with no classes or lectures, which guests use to visit the beach, shop in the local market, or swim in the sea.

The property itself is shaded by fruit trees and natural forest, with a river and rice fields below. It's a two-minute drive from Agonda Beach, which is consistently cited as one of the cleanest in Asia. The campus includes a yoga shala, kitchen, garden, and laundry facilities, and rooms are simple but comfortable, with air-conditioning for the hot season.
