Yin yoga deals with a subtler aspect of your being, letting you go deeper into yourselves. You are moving from the structured body to the energetic with the help of myofascial compartment and media channels to develop a functional, mindful approach to the practice.
Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) is a wonderful deep relaxation that supports your asana (physical yoga) practice helping you to find deep rest and stillness. It reduces daily stress by teaching pratyahara - turning attention inward for your own healing awareness, and Dharana - concentration, meditation to deepen your yoga.

Set in the cooling shades of lush greenery, Earth Yoga Village is within a 5 - 7 minutes' walk to South Goa's most beautiful beaches of Patnem and Palolem. You will find the village to be extremely central and conveniently located by the road in the area of Colomb in between the mentioned beaches.
South Goa is known for its blissful vibes, laid back people, and beautiful nature. Most of the beaches are largely unspoiled and are inhabited by both local fishermen and foreign tourists who live in shacks along the shore or in the main village itself.
The location offers an ideal place to explore the stunning beaches, beautiful local villages, and surrounding nature outside of your retreat schedule.
The Earth Yoga Village team is trying their best in making the village more eco-friendly and they work hard on adding further eco-friendly measures. Their connection with nature is vital and they strive towards that connection in their everyday life and with every action. They welcome you to join the movement by bringing your own refillable bottle, keeping plastic to a necessary minimum, and being mindful of the resources you use from Mother Nature.
Please bear in mind that you live in close proximity to the surrounding nature which means you might come across the odd visitor like a frog, insects, and monkeys - they are all very friendly.
Earth Yoga Village is your home away from home. As the name gives it away they stay connected with Mother Earth in every thought and action. This is also reflected in the experience they provide when you stay with them; they offer time and the ideal setting to connect with yourself and nature.

At the village, they know of the incredible benefits of nutritious food and as Hippocrates said, they consider food to be medicine. Their founder, Anand, believes as much in that he himself has cured some of his own persistent ailments with food. Most of the meals you'll see in the menu are his own creations and personally trained by the kitchen staff. In his free time, you may still find him spending time in the kitchen.
All the food is vegan and gluten/additives/preservations/emulsifier free. They use only fresh, seasonal herbs and vegetables from regional farmers. The daily menu of wonderfully nourishing vegan food supports self-healing of the body, enhances detoxification, and leaves you feeling strong and rejuvenated.
They offer three healthy and wholesome meals per day (Indian, Oriental, and Continental) along with tea, fruit, and filtered drinking water throughout the day.
Everything is made with a lot of love and they source locally. Breakfast and dinner are the big meals whereas lunch is lighter.
You start your day with detox tea made out of 7 different herbs and spices and throughout the day there will be some other tea at the tea table along with unlimited filtered drinking water.
Saturdays is the community day off (no food is served) in the village and is a great opportunity to explore the many other restaurants, shops, and beaches in and around South Goa.
You will be engaged in doing Karma yoga voluntarily in your free time during the teacher training to learn and practice yoga holistically. You may also choose to do other therapies while you are on this retreat.
