Wellness Yoga and Meditation Escape in Agonda, Goa

The retreat is an intensive introduction to the broader yoga tradition, not just physical postures. Each day starts early with a yoga class, followed by pranayama to work on breathing slowly and deliberately, and then meditation training. The intention is to build both physical awareness and a quieter, more focused mind. The schedule also includes chanting, savasana, and at least one spiritual dancing session and a fire ritual, giving guests a taste of practices that go beyond the mat.

Agonda itself is part of the appeal. It is one of the quieter stretches of Goa's coast, a crescent of sand that stays cool underfoot even in the heat of summer. The retreat center is a short walk from the beach, set back among greenery with a porch overlooking the jungle. The property has a yoga shala for classes, free wifi, and a terrace, but the real draw is the slow pace of the village and the chance to switch off from the usual distractions.

The team at Peaceful Mind brings real depth to the teaching. Yogi Satendra has a Post Graduate Diploma in Yogic Science and a certificate in Health Conservation, along with his Yoga Alliance 200-hour certification. He teaches with a focus on alignment and creating space for people to explore their own practice. Shreya Shrivastava, co-founder, is a 500-hour RYT and E-RYT 200, with nine years of teaching that blends her acrobatic background into a vigorous, graceful style. Yogi Chetan, a third teacher, has an MA in Yogic Science and Ayurveda and brings five years of experience in Hatha, Ashtanga, and Vinyasa.
