Incredible India

Goa is India’s tropical paradise. “Slowly, slowly” is what you’ll hear as you arrive, settle in, and switch on India mode. We’re based in Mandrem, on one of the quietest beaches in Northern Goa. The international airport is only 45 minutes away, with direct flights from London taking 9 hours. March is one of the most pleasant times to visit, with low humidity and guaranteed sunny days.

Our Venue

Ashiyana Ayurvedic Resort and Spa – Mandrem

Nestled within an exquisitely manicured tropical garden, Ashiyana is a serene yoga and ayurveda resort, centred around a beautiful spa. There are rooms for every taste, a ‘restaurant’ where we eat communally, swimming pools for you to enjoy and sun-bathe around if the beach, which is just over the bridge, feels a bit too far away, and ample shady nooks to curl up in with a book. It’s a wonderful place where you can be close to nature and as social or solitary as you need.

Mandrem is a vast unspoilt stretch of beach, one of the quiestest beaches in Northern Goa because the beach has special protection as a turtle breeding ground. Ashwem is at one end (for the best boutiques in Goa) and Arambol at the other (for ecstatic dance). It has lots to offer everyone – If you’re feeling lively, kite surfing and surfing lessons are possible. For those that want to chill there are some seriously bougie beach bars that could rival Ibiza.

The Retreat Experience

My yoga rereats all follow the process of Banish > Purify > Invoke. This allows us to create space to nourish our spiritual connection and to move forward with our lives connected to the light within.

A retreat is not a holiday, it’s a deep soul searching and opportunity to create lasting change. It’s only with awareness that we are able to drop our emotional baggage, address the habits that drive our negativity and free ourselves from our attachments to our pain.

Using kundalini, yin yoga, meditation and journaling as our practice, we’ll spend our days checking where are we blocked and living in darkness and where we are liivng in flow and abundance and leaning into the lives we truely want to lead.

We’re very blessed to gather together over the spring equiox portal and begin the wheel of the year refreshed and realigned.

Morning – Nature is the greatest healer, and where possible, we will practice outside. We’ll begin our day on the beach with gentle, stretchy sun salutations and a meditation to greet the sunrise. We will then move to the open shala at Ashiyana to practice a full Kundalini kriya before brunch at 10 a.m.

Daytime – Your day is then free to do as you wish – lounging around in the shade or sunshine, spa time, shopping, surfing – until we meet again at 4:30 p.m. for yoga, breathwork, and meditation before enoying the sunset on the beach in all its glorious technicolour.

Evening – A delicious communal buffet supper is served at 7pm. After supper Ashiyana has an evening program we can join, which includes breathwork, sound baths, and Osho meditations.

Please note, everything is optional. Sometimes people come on retreat seriously exhausted and burnt out. Everyone’s needs will be respected, and you’ll be encouraged to rest as required. I am available throughout the week to talk though your process 1-1 as you need.

Who are these weeks for?

My Kundalini Yoga retreats are for anyone open to exploring the spiritual side of life, adventurous souls who want to get the most juice out of life.

It’s always an eclectic mix of people of all ages and abilities from different walks of life, which makes the experience so interesting. Some people come with friends or family, while many come alone. Whether you’re a long-term student of mine or we’re meeting for the first time, everyone is made to feel very welcome and part of the group.

You don’t need to have done Kundalini Yoga before. The group is always mixed in terms of yoga experience, and I’ll explain everything clearly so you can get the most out of the practice. What’s most important is that you come with an open mind and heart, ready to dive deep into the experience.

As we deepen our spiritual practice, we reconnect with parts of ourselves we may have neglected, break through mental blocks, upgrade unhealthy patterns, spark new ideas, and cultivate a profound sense of lightness and clarity.

By nurturing our spiritual connection, we initiate profound transformation and healing. The inner work we do creates ripples of change that touch all aspects of our lives, allowing us to experience deeper joy and a greater sense of aliveness. This inner growth fosters healthier, more loving relationships with ourselves primarily and therefore with others.

Goa in March is one of the most pleasant times to visit, with low humidity and endless sunny days. It’s hot in the sun, but on the beach, there’s usually a breeze. In the more sheltered tropical gardens of Ashiyana, there’s plenty of shade which makes it a very pleasant climate indeed.

The average daytime temperature ranges from 28-32°C, while nights are about 18-20°C. There are fans in all of the bedrooms, and the Raj suites have AC.

7.00am – 7.50am Sunrise Salutations and Kundalini Meditation on the beach

Breakfast 9am – 11am
Dinner 7pm – 8.30pm

What to Wear / Shopping

They say when you travel to Inida, pack half of what you would normally take and bring twice the money! We’re here to yoga and chill but be prepared, the shopping is fantastic! Our little beach village of Mandrem has an abundance of shopsand stalls where you can buy beautiful cotton clothes, bags, jewellery and trinkets. Jump in a taxi or stroll down to Ashvem and you’ll find some seriously great boutiques. For the keen beans there’s night markets too.

Please note, nudity is not acceptable anywhere in India, bikini’s are fine on the beach. For walking around and sitting and eating, pack light breathable clothes with long sleeves and legs for mossies and modesty.

Getting to Goa

There are direct flights from London Gatwick to Goa (GOX) with either Air India or TUI. GOX is a 45-minute drive from Ashiyana. I can arrange an airport transfer via Ashiyana, or you can arrange your own taxi at the airport.

There is a second, older airport in Goa, Dabolim (GOA). It’s about twice the travel time to Ashiyana, and the roads are not as good, but it’s also an international airport with many direct connections from around the world.

Visa

You will probably need a visa to enter India which you can arrange yoursefl though the Inidan Governments website https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/visa/ or use a private company to arrange it for you, like this one https://sanamtravel.co.uk/ who we used last year.

Vaccinations

Goa isn’t in the malaria zone, travel vaccines are a deeply personal choice please do your own research.

What's included

7 days and 7 nights of accommodation and two meals a day at a luxury Ayurvedic spa and resort, just 3 minutes from a beautiful, unspoiled Mandrem beach. The program includes a comprehensive Kundalini yoga experience of breathwork mantra and mindful movement.

About Me

Hello and Sat Nam! If we haven’t met yet, it’s wonderful to e-meet you 🙏. My name is Kiranjot, which means “ray of sunshine.” I’ve been teaching Kundalini Yoga for 16 years and practicing for over 20.

I’m a people person at heart and find great joy in bringing people together for retreats. Watching everyone relax into the space, create connections and have profound experiences and personal realisations is truly an honour. I aim to hold a safe space with lightness, allowing each individual to fully feel themselves.

This will be my 15th international retreat and 2nd time to Ashiyana in Goa, a place that holds a special kind of magic. I’ve done my best to capture its beauty here, but it’s something you truly have to experience. If you have any questions about me, the practice, or whether this retreat is a good fit for you, or you’re ready to book, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Email is the best way to get in touch.

Thank you, and I hope to see you soon!
Best wishes,
Kiranjot ⚡️
