Why choose a yoga retreat in Goa?

Looking for a true yoga experience but with a little extra flavor? As you may already know, India is considered one of the most spiritual destinations on earth and a great place to learn and practice yoga. It is home to several of the world’s holiest sites and the birthplace of Buddhism and Hinduism.

Located on the shores of the Arabian Sea, Goa is a popular destination as it offers many extras to enhance your yoga vacation in India. With beach parties that go on into the morning, various cruise ship casinos, exciting water sports, and carnivals, Goa has more of an icy atmosphere than anywhere else in India.

However, Goa retains its distinctive Indian spirit, which can be seen in several notable yoga centers and retreats. In addition, you will enjoy its delicious traditional cuisine, architectural wonders, and fantastic street markets.
