8 days Retreat
Eight days of alignment-based Hatha Alignment and Hatha Vinyasa Flow, pranayama and meditation — a deeper reset than a 5-day course, without a long commitment.
Overview
Quick answer
Our 8 Day Yoga & Meditation Retreat runs at Arambol Beach, Goa or Bhagsu, Dharamshala, from $250 for the course only (or $400 with food & accommodation). It blends Hatha Alignment and Hatha Vinyasa Flow yoga, pranayama, guided meditation and philosophy — a deeper reset than a 5-day course, and good preparation if you decide to continue into our 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training. See current dates.
A focused week-plus reset for anyone who wants more depth than a 5-day course without a long commitment. Over 8 days you build a consistent daily practice — Hatha Alignment and Hatha Vinyasa Flow yoga, pranayama, guided meditation and yoga philosophy — with the same small-group, hands-on teaching as our teacher trainings, at Arambol Beach, Goa or Bhagsu, Dharamshala.
Build real momentum with two guided sessions a day — enough repetition to feel a genuine shift in strength, flexibility and focus.
Precise alignment and safe hands-on adjustments run through every asana session.
Daily breathwork and guided meditation practice to steady the mind alongside the body.
Vegetarian meals, yoga philosophy talks and unhurried time to integrate what you are learning.
Daily Rhythm
This is our standard day. Timings can shift with the weather, the season and what the group needs on a given day.

Start with a short retreat and continue into a full 100, 200 or 300 hour teacher training later, at either campus — the same teaching, different depths.
Practice in the peaceful surroundings of Arambol Beach, Goa or Bhagsu, Dharamshala — settings designed for focus, healing and personal growth.

Reviews
The 5-day course gave me two different kinds of asana practice that complemented each other, plus pranayama.
Gemma Bru Ballarà
5-Day Course
“Yoga from the heart.” Travelled from Denmark specifically for a 10-day retreat: “developed me more in 10 days than any other yoga teacher… definitely the best yoga instructor in Dharamsala.”

FAQ
No — the retreat is designed for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. It suits anyone who wants a structured reset for body and mind without committing to a full teacher training.
$250 covers the course only, for students arranging their own stay nearby. $400 adds your accommodation and three vegetarian meals a day for the full 8 days.
Both run the same program. Choose Arambol Beach for warm sea air and sunset practice, or Bhagsu for crisp Himalayan mornings and forest walks.
