8 Day Chakra Awakening Yoga & Meditation Retreat in Goa

The retreat follows the traditional chakra system, starting with the root chakra and moving up through the sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and crown. Each day brings a different focus: understanding the natural qualities of that chakra, whether it's fear, anger, doubt, or imagination, and then working with it through targeted practices. This isn't a passive retreat—it asks you to engage with the material and look honestly at your own patterns.

Days start early. At 7 am, there's a therapeutic or kriya yoga session designed to cleanse the body. After breakfast, a 60-minute meditation or activity, then bodywork or free time before lunch. Afternoons include pranayama, more free time, a late-afternoon meditation, and then an intensive session that might be yoga nidra or a workshop on self-awareness. Evenings close with dinner and an open Q&A with the teachers.

The chakra framework is explained in detail, connecting each energy center to its corresponding body and emotional state. For example, the second chakra relates to the emotional body and its natural qualities of fear and anger, while the heart chakra connects to imagination and dreaming. The retreat works on transforming these qualities—turning anger into compassion, doubt into trust, imagination into will.

What makes this retreat different from a standard yoga holiday is the explicit psychological and spiritual work. There are sessions on self-inquiry, communication, and what they call 'sacred touch' and emptiness. It's grounded in Buddhist and Tantric practices, including a musical shamanic breathing journey described as moving 'from form to formless.'

The location in North Goa adds to the experience. Mandrem is quieter than the southern beaches, with a laid-back vibe and jungle surrounding the property. The accommodation is simple but comfortable, with private rooms, balconies, and air conditioning. Meals are vegetarian, served buffet-style three times a day.
