Goa, India Yoga Holiday

April 9 - 17, 2012 - $1,350 Per Person - All Inclusive

Visit Sacred India. Swim in the Arabian Sea. Explore the Colorful Markets. Practice Yoga at Sunrise and Sunset. Renew, Rejuvinate and Relax!

We have planned a very special 9-Night Yoga Holiday in Goa India at Satsanga Retreat. Satsanga is located in the small village of Verla Canca and is in between Anjuna Beach and Mapusa. We've chosen Goa to hold this retreat because it is a very unique part of India, famous for its sunny, warm weather, beautiful beaches, handi-craft markets and free spirits.

If you have always wanted to visit India, Goa is the perfect place to begin or end your travels. It's perfect to begin here because it will help you to acclimate to Indian culture, in a gentle way. Sometimes Goa is referred to as "India Light" because it is not as intense as other parts, such as Northern India. Goa is where the Indians take their holidays! It's also the perfect place to end your travels, giving you a chance to unwind, reflect and relax. If time permits you only to be in India for the length of the retreat, you will experience so much of Indian life and cultur, but will also enjoy a beautiful and relaxing tropical holiday.

This holiday includes:

* Double Accommodation

* 2 Daily Yoga Sessions, Including 1 on the Beach at Sunrise

* Trips to the Anjuna and Saturday Night Markets

* Sunset Dinner at a Local Beachfront Restaurant

* Rejuvinating Massage

* Classical Indian Music Concert

* Delicious Indian-Vegetarian Meals

* Taxi Transfer from Dablim Airport to the retreat center and back

September 7 to 9, 2012

Join us for our annual weekend retreat at the beautiful Whidbey Institute. Just 1.25 hours north of Seattle, Whidbey Island feels like a world away. This is a special weekend where you can dedicate time to yourself and your practice, as well as share a rich experience with other yogis from the community. It's amazing what a weekend away will do for your mind, body and spirit!

The retreat begins at 3 pm on Friday with checking into your room or cabin and settling in. Our first yoga class is at 4:30 pm, helping you to unwind and ease into retreat mode. The retreat ends on Sunday, after lunch, at about 1 pm. We make the special request that people take the day off from work on Friday, so that they can make their way to the island leisurely, avoiding the weekend lines and catching an early ferry to Whidbey, arriving to the island unhurried.

During the weekend, you'll have plenty of time to relax, hike, read, walk the labyrinth, nap, or meditate in the sanctuary. The pricing for this retreat depends on your choice of accommodation and ranges from $400 to $595. This weekend is all inclusive with cozy accommodation, delicious vegetarian meals, a blend of hatha flow and restorative yoga sessions and group circle time.

There is so much to do and see in Bali, and we've planned several activities so that you can fully experience the people, culture and land:
