Program
Who is this retreat for ?
The yoga retreat in Goa suits people of all ages and physical capacities, as it requires little strength to get started. If you can breathe, you can do Yoga. The Breath controlled properly and simultaneously with specific poses or postures can do more for your physiological, psychological, and biochemical well-being than any other form of exercise. A Yoga retreat is not about ‘exercise.’ It is about learning how to control your own lifestyle easily, with a bit of practice; very soon, the results are so outstanding that you wonder why they haven’t made Yoga retreats illegal!
Why do a Yoga Retreat with AYM Yoga School?
They believe everyone can do yoga. But why would you want to?
The list of benefits of a Yoga Retreat in Goa is enormous, but let’s start with what yoga actually means. Many people know it as an exercise that strengthens and tones the muscles and improves flexibility. Yes, it can do that, but it is so much more as well. The word yoga can be translated from Sanskrit as ‘union’, and one of its principle purposes is to help improve the mind-body connection.
Joining a Yoga Retreat in Goa at AYM is uniting mind, body and breath, and yoga trains the complete person to become firm, focused and flexible. It enables you to explore and get to know your own body and how it works so you can harness that knowledge to help it work most efficiently. You learn to release tension in body, mind and emotions. The result is more energy, a more balanced state of mind and better-regulated emotions, all leading to a greater sense of well-being and a better mood.
This retreat will consist of:
In this modern world filled with the distractions of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc., all sending you messages implying that you are not good enough, how can anyone maintain consistent self-acceptance or high self-esteem?
In this Yoga Retreat in Goa, you explore what it means to accept who you are without reservation completely. You will discuss why so many people struggle with self-acceptance and understand ways to overcome the inability to accept oneself and others just as we are. The retreat will consist of:
- Definition of self-acceptance and distinction with self-esteem
- Identifying the modern barriers to self-acceptance
- Generating the mind of self-acceptance
- Yoga session concentrating on restoration and acceptance
- Meditation on acceptance of all things, including yourself
- Question and answer period
Beach yoga
Enjoy Yoga on the beautiful beach, flowing through asanas with ujjayi breath, harmonizing moving meditation with the soothing ocean sounds.

Reach for a more fulfilling life
Your mind is a powerful tool, but how can you learn to use it? You know your body has its wisdom and ability to heal, but how do you activate it? Your heart holds vast reserves of joy and inspiration, but how do you access it?
Mark teaches an integrated method of meditation, contemplation, transformation, and physical practice to take you from where you are now to the life you know is possible.
What a typical day looks like
The evening class will be spent getting physical on the yoga mat, while morning sessions will be for finding inner silence on the meditation cushion. During the daytime, you can choose what to do; paragliding, surfing, sightseeing, shopping, and more. This retreat is open to everyone – no previous Yoga or Meditation experience is required. All you will need is the desire for an adventure!
