When you practice yoga in India it seems like the universe supports you! Goa is spiritual and fun. Purify and cleanse with organic food and ayurvedic massage. Sleep in a luxurious eco-lodge and listen to the sound of the ocean. Stroll along white-sand beaches with swaying coconut palms. Shop at the famous Anjuna market. Sip Chai at a beach shack and chill to Goan trance while the sun sets over the Arabian sea. Hire a scooter and explore colorful seaside villages, Portuguese mansions, Hindu temples, and lush spice plantations. Have a yoga adventure in the mystical land of its birth.

Each day will begin with a led Astanga Vinyasa Yoga Primary Series class. (Mysore self-practice is also an alternative.) An afternoon class will focus on different aspects of asana, pranayama and meditation. We'll study the inner and outer techniques of vinyasa that tie the poses together in a ‘moving meditation'; develop the ‘inner limbs' of yoga to develop focus and concentration skills that enhance clarity of mind; use the breath to feel safe enough to move through difficult poses and work honestly at your edge; shift energy in problem areas (hips & shoulders); restorative yoga; learn use yoga as a healing/transformational tool to move through fear and release hardness in the body; experience deep inner peace and insight; learn to be at ease in the present moment. Develop a daily practise so inspiring you'll want to get on your mat as soon as you get home. Be a yogi for life!
