Always proved to be a transformational experience, your Sensory Yoga Experience will incorporate the vibrant colours with the natural aromas and harmonious sounds of nature into your daily yoga practice.

Over the course of the retreat, we'll use traditional practices of yoga to explore the connectivity of the body, breath and mind with a physical practice based on Ashtanga Yoga, krias with pranayama, and a range of meditation techniques.  Yet there is ample time to explore the surroundings of Goa, visit the towns and markets, read, rest or have a massage.  It all helps to build the essential vita energy within you.

Devaraya Wellness Centre is located beside the beautiful and unspoiled Morjim Beach, which is now perhaps the least populated and least developed part of Goa.  All accommodation includes air conditioning, has an ensuite bathroom, your room is cleaned daily, with each room is uniquely designed to reflect the beauty of Rajastan.

The whole resort is sheltered with palm trees so it is cool all day, and there are lots of lounge area to chill, ready and enjoy perfect piece.

 

 

"Melanie has followed the traditional practice of Ashtanga Yoga for the last 15 years and is constantly amazed at the depth and strength and rejuvenation effects it can bring practitioners.
This coupled with her knowledge of Thai Yoga Massage, Yoga Therapy and Pranayama means that she delivers the practice in a way to heal the mind and body and to open gateways of consciousness for personal transformation.  It is a practice which she the core of her shala in St Albans - Clarity Yoga Shala - leadership retreats in business schools and her teacher training programme.

The retreat is an opportunity for practitioners to immerse themselves into all aspects of yoga - use the abundance provided by nature in India to stimulate the senses as gateways to the depths of our soul."
