4-Star Hotels in Old Goa

I came in not knowing what to expect and was blown away. It's the real deal, if you want an authentic ayurveda yoga experience. The food, treatments, on site caring doctor, yoga teacher. It's complete without being militant. If you really wanted, bars were 5 minutes away. The week I was there, everyone there was like-minded, seeking growth, self awareness, improving health, and not just exploiting India for an affordable holiday (which gets very depressing). The ethnic diversity was wonderful --I am diaspora Indian and met other desis from Sydney, US, France. This felt very affirming. Food was fantastic, satvick, plentiful, diverse. The details paid to attention such as different infusions daily, cucumber one day, watermelon the next, was also amazing. I kept looking forward to every meal -- not the goal of a yoga retreat but it was a losing battle. Food in Goa is frequently unctuous and I like this experience too but ..... Yash the yoga teacher was serious and sweet. His routines had very good flow and meditation and pranayama were serious one hour sessions in the evening. Yash teaches in a traditional Indian way-he moves along and expects that you'll.do as much or as little as you need. If you're used to western deconstructed teaching, you might get a bit lost but never fear, he's very enthusiastic about helping post class. In my case, he was super helpful after class to help adjust difficulties and fix problems I had with deep bends. In 5 minutes, I was doing deep forward bends effortlessly (I'm still in disbelief). I'd recommend chatting with him about individual problems-he is very good at diagnosis to fix and suggesting individualized exercises. We also did serious chanting before and after each session--generally absent with non Indian yoga teachers and sometimes even Indian yoga teachers if they're not trained comprehensively. The mantras were moving and consolidated the yoga experience.
