4-Day Yoga & Aerial Retreat in Tropical Goa

India Yoga School sits in a quiet pocket of Mandrem, about 600 meters from the beach, with a forest on one side and gardens all around. The shala is open-air, so you practice with birdsong and breeze. The retreat is led by a team of teachers—Shivansh, Rahul, Archita, and Rashmi—each with different strengths, but all trained to a high level. You'll rotate through their classes, which keeps the practice fresh.

A typical day starts with an hour of self-practice, then a pranayama session to work on breath control, followed by kriya cleaning rituals. The main asana class happens mid-morning—you'll work on alignment and get modifications where you need them. After lunch and free time, there's an aerial yoga session in the hammock, which is playful and a nice break from mat work.

What makes this retreat stand out is the combination of daily aerial yoga with more traditional practices like kriyas and mantra chanting. Most yoga retreats stick to mat work or maybe add one aerial class. Here, it's woven into the week. The teachers also sing during asana classes, which guests mention again and again in reviews—it adds a warmth you don't usually find.

The accommodation is simple but charming: rooms with porches overlooking the jungle, each with a private swing. You get air conditioning, free WiFi, and a shared garden to hang out in. The on-site vegan cafe serves three meals a day, and the menu is built around Ayurvedic principles, but it's not fussy—just good, plant-based food that keeps you energized for practice.
