Re-connect and Replenish Yoga Retreat

Join Joan in Goa, India for a ten days of immersion yoga retreat style on the beachfront property of Devarya Wellness.  Each morning there will be a two and a half hour yoga practice learning the foundation of certain postures and how to sequence them together in an intelligent way.  Enjoy healthy vegetarian cuisine provided by Devarya Wellness and soak in the healing benefits of swimming in the warm Arabian Sea each day!  Goa's beaches stretch on for miles and miles and the sunsets are captivating helping you to bring your attention into the moment and remember all the beauty that life offers.  In the later afternoon, reconvene for a philosophy lecture or a wind down practice including restoratives, pranayama, and meditation. Devarya Wellness is a large scale retreat center that hosts yogis from all over the world and holds activities such as sound baths, kirtans, and meditations in the evenings.  You can also choose to take part one of Joan's teacher training Elements of Yoga and make it up elsewhere in the world or return again to Goa the following year.  This is the perfect combination of relaxation, diving deep into your yoga practice, and opening yourself up to the many healing benefits of yoga.

Retreats are replenishing and can bring you back to your soul helping you to re-connect in a way that can be difficult in the western world, with all of our distractions and busy schedules.  Take time out and invest in your yoga and meditation practice and begin to re-charge so  you can feel connected to life and operate  from a calm and grounded place. Get to know other like minded yogis from all around the world who are on the same path of raising their own consciousness and awareness. Goa is a great place to explore, Joan has been returning yearly to Goa since 2012 and will show you some beautiful beaches and help you tap into the beauty and free spirited nature this amazing place offers!

"Amazing trip! Joan is a great teacher, sharing her huge understanding and knowledge of yoga, anatomy and philosophy; she was always ready to listen, help and repeat so I felt secure asking questions and even teaching although English is not my mother tongue!
