Monsoon Wellness Reset: Yoga & Meditation in Lush Goa

Shreem Yogshala runs this retreat from its base in Querim, North Goa, just a two-minute walk from the beach. The setting is deliberately low-key—hills, palm trees, and a quiet stretch of coast that feels a world away from the busier parts of Goa.

Each day starts with a sunrise practice to wake the body, followed by breathwork and meditation. The evening brings a second session, often including sound healing, which is one of host Preity Bishht's specialties. The format stays flexible; nothing is mandatory, and skipping a session to rest is completely fine.

What makes this different from a typical yoga week is the season. Goa in September is lush, uncrowded, and washed clean by the rain. The practice space is fully covered, so the rhythm of the rain becomes part of the experience rather than an interruption. It's the ideal time to slow down and let the place do its work.

The food is another highlight—three fresh sattvic vegetarian meals a day, prepared with local produce and gentle spicing. It's simple, wholesome, and easy on the body, with no extreme diets or gimmicks. You'll leave with a real, repeatable home practice, a calmer mind, and new friends from around the world.
