4 Day Yoga & Wellness Escape in the Heart of Goa, India

The retreat takes place at India Yoga School's own campus in Mandrem, a quieter stretch of North Goa's coast. The property is set back from the beach in a garden filled with trees, with an open-air yoga shala, a meditation garden, and a small vegan cafe. The daily schedule aims for a balanced rhythm: a full morning of yoga practice, a free afternoon, and a gentle evening of restorative classes.

A typical day starts with an hour of self-practice, then moves into pranayama, then a kriya session (cleansing practices), followed by a guided asana class. After a sattvic breakfast, the rest of the morning is yours. The afternoon is intentionally unstructured — a chance to rest, read on your private swing, or wander the 600 meters down to Mandrem Beach. In the evening, there's an aerial yoga session using a silk hammock, which the school is known for, followed by mantra chanting and meditation.

The teaching team includes Shivansh Mishra, who blends a background in wrestling and software engineering with a modern take on traditional yoga; Rahul, a Sivananda-trained teacher with a decade of experience; Archita, a former lawyer and company secretary with 500-hour training; and Rashmi, who focuses on breathwork. All classes are in English, and the atmosphere is welcoming to beginners and experienced practitioners alike.

Goa in the cooler months (October to March) offers warm days and pleasant evenings. The beach at Mandrem is a wide, relatively uncrowded stretch of sand, and the nearby forests and fields attract plenty of birdlife. The retreat is a short drive from both Dabolim and the newer Mopa airports, with airport pickup available for an extra fee.
