Rooms, Pricing & Bookings
Like many of our retreats, the majority of our rooms are offered as sharing rooms. It’s a beautiful way to connect with like-minded souls and make meaningful friendships. We’ll pair you up with someone of the same sex. The majority of people come alone, but if you come with a friend or family member you will of course share a room with them.
A non-refundable deposit of half the total amount is due to book and the 2nd half is due by the 1st of January 2024. We offer refunds on the 2nd 50% up to 8 weeks before the start of the retreat.

Is this retreat right for me?
Whether you’re at the beginning of your yoga journey or are seasoned practitioner, Steffy teaches in a style which allows you to get what you need from your practice. All that’s required is that you are familiar with sun salutations and a vinyasa based practice. Steffy will offer variations and modifications and that’s one of the most beauitful things about the energy of these retreats. We all practice together, we are all welcome and we will all be challenged and loved along the way. The vast majority of our retreat yogis travel alone, but we’ve also had many couples and various family member combinations. We often have guests who have met on prior retreats and come back together for another one as friends. It is beautiful, come and join us!
How to get there
You can fly direct to Goa from Gatwick, Manchester, Birmingham & Belfast in around 9.5hrs. There are also multiple other 1 stop services which take longer but are often cheaper. If travelling from the UK we suggest taking an overnight flight on the 23rd, which will get you to Goa on the 24th. Check-in is from 2pm on the 24th and check-out is at 10am on the 31st. It’s about a 1hr taxi transfer from the airport. A complimentary mini-bus will be provided, but if you need to travel separately then a taxi costs approx £30 each way. You will need a tourist visa to travel to Goa, which are now easy to obtain via the online E-VISA. Please get in touch if you have any questions.
