Ashiyana Goa Yoga Retreat Centre

This retreat haven was a beautiful blend of everything one could need for restoring health, reconnecting with nature and rejuvenating the body, mind and soul. You are less than a 5 minute walk (over a beautiful bridge) to the beach. This property is larger than it feels due to the lush vegetation and carefully designed layout of the rooms and amenities. I had the best sleep there despite no AC in my room, the ceiling fan was sufficient and it feels like the accommodations were designed to maintain temperatures. The yoga shalas are absolutely beautiful and one of the best I've seen in my travels. Classes are a nice mix of styles from challenging flow to restorative. You never want to miss a meal there once you've had your first! The food (vegetarian) was a nice mix of Indian and Western, always fresh and divinely prepared. My holiday package included yoga twice daily and breakfast and dinner which I recommend if you decide to book. Definitely try a spa treatment. My foot massage was heavenly! Management has friendly dogs on site however they let out some loud barks periodically. But this is beautiful Goa :) One thing I noticed was that every staff member always seemed like they are happy to be there. It's a welcoming and refreshing feeling to stay in a place like this when you travel abroad. This is a perfect setting for solo travelers. (I met several while I was there). Enjoy Ashiyana!

It was my third time at Ashiyana and it was another great stay. The food was excellent as always and the yoga was great, I particularly enjoyed Om and Jade’s classes. The retreat is not far from the beach, and all the people on the retreat were lovely and chilled.

It was my thirds time at Ashiyana and it still hits all the right spots. It has a great location but far from the beach and you feel as if you’re in the middle of the Jungle. The yoga and food were great, such tastey vegetarian food. The best instructors were Jade and Om. The people I met were lovely and good fun, we had lovely dinner times together. Can’t wait to go back!

You have to go to Ashiyana at least once in your life if you really want to feel paradise on earth. It is the most aestheic and generous surroundings. Everything is so beautiful and carefully designed down to the last detail in natual materiales. Antique doors, organic forms everywhere in the floors, steps, stairs, ,furnitures, anything. Spa- pools, resting places and lots of shalas to make yoga hidden in behind the palmtrees. Massage and bodytreatments performed by the best masseuses. The food is incredible and unmatched. An experience in itself. Delicious fresh, tasty, indian dishes. Everything is so nice and clean. On this point Ashiyana does not compromise. Friendly employes walk around in silence from early morning to late evening and ensure that guests always experience a beautiful and well- kept envitonment . The rooms are built in woodenhouses in two floors hidden behind the palmtrees. You are now in the jungle.The river just next to you and 5 minutes to the Arabien Sea. Only very few turists here around . You feel so much rest and in peace while you are here at Ashiyana,. The beaty and the love and kindness from the people working here is inkomparable. Special thanks to the caretakes - the lovely Elsa from Portugal, and Brandon from Alabama.

Wonderful yoga with beachside vibes. This is one of my favorite places I have ever stayed! The staff was friendly, the rooms were beautiful, and the beach was a 2 min walk away. Food was delicious and yoga was absolutely wonderful. I could not recommend this place enough.

Excellent yoga center with 3 shalas. Nice location close to the village and the beautiful beach. Nice gardens by the river. Good vegetarian buffet. Lovely staff. Good vibes. Different room categories. I recommend « river view ». Most of all an excellent place to practice yoga with international level teachers.

If you are an Indian and find Rs 1,40,000 too high for a short wellness stay, DON'T try to book here. Was trying and Mr Brandon from Ashiyana was quick to point out that the reason my feeling that 1.5 Lakhs was too high was because 95% booking were by Europeans and Ashiyana was "Not My Speed". Obnoxious people, should be thrown out of India !!

Calm, peaceful and joyful stay. Supporting staff. Very good restaurant and food quality is nice. Homely atmosphere with full greenery.

The location was very ni. Ce, just on the back waters and very close to sea. But the food, breakfast time is 10. 00 to 11. 00. Our indian mindset may not like this
