Goa Retreat – 10 days Yoga & Meditation at the Ocean
January 28, 2026 - February 7, 2026
… a Retreat with Paola & Adrian. Yoga in all its facets and depth & Sun & Ocean & Jungle at the wonderful Cabo Serai Nature Eco-Resort.
This place was amazing and the people really kind, so we think to offer this retreat again: More will be announced, most likely it’s going to happen January / February 2026 at some point.
To start, you see here a short video over the property of Cabo Serai Eco Resort… Property Cabo Serai
Join us for a deep and relaxed 10-night retreat. The length of this retreat will allow us to gain depth through practicing together long enough, while allowing plenty of free time to relax at the beach or at the pool, go for excursions or do your own practice.
We will have two formal practice sessions a day, combining Chi Gong, mindful Vinyasa practice (Asana), Yoga Nidra, Meditation and Mantra chanting, plus relaxed evenings together with some chanting, watching the stars or sitting around a fire. For those interested, we will also offer sessions of Breathwork and Harmel to explore the inner landscape of our being on a deeper level, open our hearts and bring connection to Nature. If possible in that location we will build and celebrate a Temazcal (Sweat Lodge ritual).
There is two Yoga Shalas, one down at the beach and the other one overlooking the bay. We will have the whole Eco Resort (ca 7 ha of lush native forest) for ourselves!
The practice sessions are taught in English.
We will be able to experience a guided Forest Bathing morning, and there will be the option to take together once a boat trip or a bird watching excursion.
October is a perfect time to visit Goa if you want to enjoy really nice weather, and a calm and peaceful atmosphere. The long hot Indian summer and the wet rainy season are gone, with occasional rains left in the night, and with pleasant temperatures of 29°-33° maxima and 23°-25° minima. The busy tourist season has not started yet but it’s approaching, so restaurants and beach shacks are starting to appear, without affecting peace yet!
