Ayurvedic Yoga Weight Loss Retreat in Goa

This retreat is a two-week live-in programme in Goa focused on weight loss through yoga rather than calorie counting alone. The listing claims genuine weight loss, improved flexibility, detox and cleansing through easy yoga techniques, deep relaxation, and improved concentration — all supported by an Ayurvedic vegetarian diet. The schedule is fixed and runs every day of the stay, with different content on weekends versus weekdays.

On Saturdays and Sundays, the morning block is meditation followed by a two-hour detox programme. Monday through Thursday, the same morning slot is replaced with asana specifically designed for weight loss. Every day includes a yoga technique session at 12:00–12:45 and an asana/pranayama class at 16:30–17:30. The day closes with either a havan (fire ceremony) on weekends or an evening session at 18:30–19:20.

Food is a major part of the programme. All three meals are included and served buffet-style: breakfast at 09:45–10:30, lunch at 13:00–13:45, and dinner at 17:45–18:20. The cuisine is Ayurvedic and vegetarian throughout, which the listing frames as central to the healthy living and detox goals.

What separates this from a general yoga holiday is the combination of a fixed weight-loss asana curriculum, a structured detox programme, and an Ayurvedic diet, all delivered on-site over a full fortnight. The retreat also advertises four days of yogic kriyas/detox in the morning as part of the inclusions. The setting is described as a peaceful retreat in Goa, with cottages that range from basic row rooms to best-view private cottages with sit-out areas.

The price depends on season and room type. Moderate season covers October, March, April and May; the listed 1–15 March 2016 dates fall in this bracket.
