Bamboo Yoga Retreat

South Goa


This laid-back yoga retreat, exclusive to guests, has a wonderful open-sided shala facing the ocean at the southern end of Patnem Beach, and three more shalas among the village of beautifully designed timber and thatched huts. Yoga holiday rates include brunch, meditation and two daily yoga classes, but there are also training courses and ayurvedic treatments.
