Our Venue
Ashiyana Ayurvedic Resort and Spa – Mandrem
Nestled within an exquisitely manicured tropical garden, Ashiyana is a serene yoga and ayurveda resort, centered around a beautiful spa. There are rooms for every taste, a ‘restaurant’ where we eat communally, swimming pools for you to enjoy and sunbathe 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 becasue 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 lesosns are possible. For those that want to chill there are some seriously bougie beach bars that could rival Ibiza.
The Retreat Experience
A retreat is not a holiday, it’s deep soul searching and an opportunity to create lasting change.
My yoga program, whether it’s a day or a week, 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.
It’s only with awareness that we can release our attachments to pain, and the habits that are driving those negative feelings.
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 watching the sunset in all its glorious technicolour.
Nightime – 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.

FAQs and T&Cs
What's the weather like
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.
Food
Food is clean and healthy and nutritious at Asihyana. Their ‘Paraiso’ restaurant is famous for serving an eclectic mix of fresh, healthy and delicious cuisine. They source locally and organic wherever possible, and our buffet and a la carte menus are vegetarian, with gluten & dairy free options. They can cater for any dietary requirements on request.
- Breakfast 9am – 11am
- Dinner 7pm – 8.30pm
Filtered water, chai and lemon & ginger teas are available from our refreshment station at the resort throughout the day. Bring a water bottle to help keep you topped up.
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.
Vaccinations
Goa isn’t in the malaria zone, travel vaccines are a deeply personal choice please do your own research.
