The morning session is not restricted to any particular schedule however the content of study will include meditation, pranayama, asana and relaxation. Through simple and clear instruction using element from the Ashtanga Vinyasa style of practice we will encourage our body and mind to surrender so that we may experience ourselves at a much deeper level.
As we progress through yoga practice the body and mind are invited to let go of residual tensions so that awareness and energy flow more freely and harmoniously. The daily yoga sessions will start at 8am and last 2-3 hours, presenting an opportunity to explore and breathing, awareness, movement and stillness through a combination of simple yoga techniques (asana, pranayama, meditation and relaxation). There will be a couple of evening sessions which will also last approximately 2 hours. Getting There
Goa has one airport called Dabolim. from Dabolim its a 60-90 minute taxi journey (about Rs1200) You can also fly to Bombay (Mumbai)and then catch a domestic flight, train or bus to Goa depending on your budget (we can further advise you on the domestic flight, train or bus.) If you would like assistance making travel arrangements we would like to recommend sunny, he is a local Goan who runs a travel agency in Mandrem. He can book all domestic flights, trains and buses for you here in India (it can be quite a long process to book these yourself on-line from abroad). You would need to send him a western union bank transfer to pay for any tickets that you want him to book.
