What my students say
“This was the best yoga retreat in Goa or anywhere else that I have ever been on. Everything about the yoga holiday was perfect, just stunning… the venue (Ashiyana), the teaching, people and food - an excellent and amazing experience with a warm and generous teacher. It couldn’t have been better!”
Cathy
"As a teacher myself I’m proud to call Jeff one of my teachers. He is so skilled and embodied in offering a complete and expansive practice, whatever your level. Whether it’s his wonderful weekly classes or his immersive and blissful yoga retreats in Goa you are guaranteed a thorough and uplifting Yoga experience. Thanks Jeff!"
James
"Jeff's yoga retreats in Goa are spectacularly good! Such amazing value for the very best yoga, venues, food and people. We just got back from Jeff's retreat and have had the most restorative and fun time. Jeff is a superb teacher, for all levels. He makes everyone feel comfortable and confident to be themselves, to try, to explore and to ultimately find some peace and clarity. If you can, do go! You'll be amazed at how good you feel for it."

Mandrem Beach, North Goa
Ashiyana Yoga Retreat is located just behind the beautiful and unspoilt Mandrem Beach, which is one of North Goa's quieter stretches.
Most of the accommodation, yoga shalas and restaurant are set a little in from the beach behind a lovely palm tree lined inlet. A little wooden bridge takes you over this inlet to the beach huts and then onto the beach.
About a 30 minute walk along the beach to the north of Mandrem is Arambol, the original Goan hippy hangout and now a busy beach area with bars and live music for those who might like a night out. A similar walk to the south if Ashvem a very trendy beach with the well known La Plague restaurant and where Jade Jagger has her beach shop.
Travel Info
There are many flight options to Goa either on direct charters or more flexible scheduled flights via Mumbai or Delhi. It’s a good idea to book flights sooner rather than later to take advantage of cheaper seats.
Thomas Cook operate regular Charters from the UK direct to Goa’s new Dabolim Airport.
If getting a schedule flight I recommend Air India or one of the airlines that transits in the Middle East rather than India as you can get your bags checked straight through to Goa. Occasionally when delayed people have found they have missed their connection as they did not have enough time to get baggage in Mumbai and recheck it in to Goa.
Here’s a good place to start your search: https://www.skyscanner.net
Mandrem is approx 1.5 hours by taxi from the airport. Pickup (30€ each way) is advisable and can be arranged through Ashiyana.
UK citizens and many other nationalities require an evisa, which can be obtained online here.
