Yoga Retreats in Goa — Arambol Beach
Beachside yoga retreats in Arambol: precise alignment, pranayama and meditation, and intensive programs — all-inclusive, in small groups, led by the same teachers who run our Yoga Alliance teacher trainings.
Arambol, Goa
A retreat on Arambol Beach
Our Goa campus sits a short walk from Arambol Beach in North Goa, where morning practice happens barefoot on the sand and evenings end with meditation as the sun goes down. Retreats here are shorter than a teacher training — five to ten days — but they are taught by the same Yoga Alliance certified faculty, with the same emphasis on precise alignment and safe, hands-on adjustments. No teaching ambitions required: just a week or two to reset.

Why retreat with us in Goa
Steps from Arambol Beach
Madhlo Waddo area in Arambol. Walk straight past Piya Guest House and opposite Arcan Bar towards the shala.
Dry-season beach practice
Goa’s retreat season runs October through March — warm, sunny days around 28–32°C, ideal for sunrise practice on the sand and cool evenings for meditation.
Alignment-first teaching
Founder Alpesh Patwari has trained in the Iyengar tradition under Usha Devi in Rishikesh since 2006 — precise alignment and hands-on adjustments run through every retreat, not just the teacher trainings.
All-inclusive, small groups
Accommodation, vegetarian meals and every session are included in the retreat price, and groups stay small so you get individual attention on the mat.

I’m so happy I completed my TTC with Alpesh. He’s an amazing teacher and practitioner whose classes are simply the best I’ve ever attended, on any continent. During the course, I sometimes asked myself if it was easy or difficult, and while the difficult aspect was there, it was purely physical. Learning from Alpesh and Rashmi about yoga was a privilege, and every minute at the school was so precious. The truth is, once you’re there, you feel at home and simply don’t want to leave :) I miss the school so much already, and I feel so, so grateful for the time there! ❤️Read on Google →

I had the privilege of completing my hatha Yoga Teacher Training with Alpesh five years ago, and it was an absolutely transformative experience. With joy and gratitude, I returned to yoga classes this year to once again learn from him. Alpesh is an exceptional teacher—deeply knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated to the principles of yoga. Moreover, during the classes, he creates a pleasant atmosphere where you can feel completely at ease. The training was comprehensive, with a strong emphasis on alignment, precision, and the philosophy of yoga. Alpesh provided personalized guidance, ensuring I grew not only in my practice but also in my ability to teach with confidence and clarity. I highly recommend Alpesh Yoga in Arambol to anyone seeking to deepen their practice or pursue teacher training in hatha yoga! Thank you again. With gratitude. EwaRead on Google →

I recently completed my yoga training with Alpesh Yoga Goa and had a great experience. It really felt like home. Alpesh is a wonderful teacher — a perfect mix of strict and soft — and his teaching is clear, knowledgeable, and straight to the point. The food was also delicious and very nourishing. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic and well-structured yoga experience in Goa.Read on Google →

What retreat guests say
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
Common questions
For a complete reset with stay and meals included, the 8 Day Yoga & Meditation Retreat is the most rounded option. If you want to go deep quickly, the 50 Hour Intensive is the most demanding. Drawn to one subject? The 5 Day Pranayama & Meditation course and the 5 Day Alignment Yoga Course each go deep into a single practice in less time — the alignment course runs only in Goa.
October through March is Goa’s dry season and our main retreat window: warm, sunny days around 28–32°C and comfortable evenings. It is also peak travel season in North Goa, so book earlier if you want specific dates.
No. Our retreats are open to all levels, including complete beginners. Classes are taught with modifications and props so you can work at your own pace, and teachers adjust individually.
Arambol is a long-established traveler village and most of our guests arrive solo — many of them women. You practice and stay within a small group, and our team is reachable on WhatsApp throughout your stay.
The 5 Day Pranayama & Meditation course includes a certificate of completion from our Yoga Alliance registered school, but none of the retreats are Yoga Alliance registered teacher trainings on their own. If you want a teaching credential, our 100, 200 and 300 hour courses in Goa are the right path — many guests start with a retreat and continue into a full training later.
