6 Day Oasis of Ayurveda: Healing & Learning Yoga Retreat in Arambol, Goa, India

Program

Imagine this:

You arrive in the quiet corners of Arambol, where banyan roots stretch like ancient arms, and the breeze smells like the earth after rain. Here, under the gentle rhythm of the Goan sky, you pause. Breathe. And let the healing begin.

This isn’t just a retreat — it’s a restoration of your original self.

Combining authentic Ayurvedic care, nourishing yoga, and a warm spiritual community, this 6-day experience is your invitation to slow down, listen to your body, and return to a place of balance — inside and out.
