Rooms, Pricing & Bookings

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.
