"A beautiful Ashram in Mandrem, Goa."

I felt so welcome and valued as a guest at Preksha. Lots of people worked together as a team to provide a beautiful, quiet, safe, nourishing and enriching environment for me to grow my own yoga experience and health.

"Fully embodied"

I’ve practised yoga for 30 years but never taken the time to do a retreat.

I feel embodied, deeply relaxed and powerful after the experience!

Choosing the package with daily body work was a wonderful idea, such a treat to receive a massage every day.

Lovely centre, genuinely friendly staff, great instructors, simple Indian food made with love. Full schedule with highly experienced and friendly teachers.

Highly recommended!

"Heartwarming and soothing yoga experience"

Thank you to the entire staff at Preksha Yoga for an excellent experience at the retreat! I find myself immensely grateful to have had the pleasure of the competent and sympathetic yoga teathers, inspiring pilosophy lessons, soothing massages and the most helpful and professionel staff. The retreat is located in a lush garden with sounds of exotic birds and beautiful flowers, everything peaceful and wellkept. The ayurvedic diet well prepared and the treatments performed by trained and pleasant therapists. In addition to this fullfilling experience the other guests were interesting and sympathetic to spend time with. All in all a wonderfull fortnight to have spent in Goa. I'm considering the possibilities of returning next year just having returned!

"Wonderful retreat- great value for money"

The highlight of our experience were the yoga and philosophy classes. Bhavna and Binal are great teachers and it was pleasure to be their students for the week. The food and accommodation was very simple but delicious/ comfortable. It was nice to be a 15 minute walk away from the beach as well, which allowed us to take some afternoon dips and evening strolls. All in all, an enjoyable experience at Preksha :)

"Rejuvenating"

The Preksha Yoga Ashram is a friendly, generous and beautiful place in the coastal village of Mandrem. It offers an inspiring program of diverse yoga sessions, movement classes, meditation, and philosophy classes, complemented by great food and Ayurvedic massage. Binal has been an extraordinarily stimulating, gently demanding (and stunningly flexible) teacher of Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga and Pranayama. Bhavna passionately taught philosophy and calmly led the daily meditations. Many more people contributed to a uniquely relaxing and rejuvenating experience, not least Siddhesh calmly overseeing operations. Thank you all!

"Refresh and restore in Goa!"

Preksha yoga is amazing! I would recommend both experienced and those new to yoga to come here for a retreat. From the start we were welcomed with friendliness and support. We came for a special occasion as a family of 5 (with my 3 adult children) and we all got something memorable from our stay. What bliss to be led through days of stretching, contemplating, meditating and being nourished by good food. The yoga nidra and philosophy in particular made a deep impression on all the family. Plus yoga on the beach at sunrise, and an evening of kirtan music and singing. Afternoons swimming on the nearby beach. We had a wonderful time thank you!

"Fabulous and transforming experience "

I had the privilege of visiting Preksha Yoga Center in Goa, and it was truly a transformative experience. This was my first time embarking on such a journey on my own, and I couldn't have asked for a better environment to explore inner peace and growth.

The center itself is serene and beautifully maintained, offering a perfect backdrop for self-discovery and relaxation. The teachers were exceptional—patient, knowledgeable, and deeply inspiring. Bhavna and Binal guided me with warmth and expertise through eight days of yoga and mindfulness, making the experience both enriching and empowering.

What truly stood out were the people I met. The sense of community and connection among everyone at the center was heartwarming. Each day was a harmonious blend of learning, introspection, and camaraderie.

I left Preksha Yoga Center feeling rejuvenated and filled with gratitude. It's a place I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat or a deeper dive into yoga and mindfulness.

"Beautiful retreat "

As soon as you walk through the gates of this beautiful retreat you are met with the most welcoming people.

I honestly could not have wished for more and it exceeded my expectations.

The yoga classes were well supported, and the meditation every evening was very deep and thought provoking and helped me so much ..special thank you to Bhavna 🙏

The food was tasty and varied and the accommodation clean and comfortable.

It was such a pleasure to meet and spend time with the rest of the group who were of all ages and nationalities.

Thank you so much for a wonderful 9 days at Preksha I will definitely return

"Beautiful space, lovely people, okay yoga"

I enjoyed my stay at Preksha, it was very peaceful, I met lots of lovely, kind people. The philosophy classes were interesting and I liked that there was a changing optional class each morning. While I stayed there was yin yoga, Mandela drawing, and movement mediation. I also loved the Thursday evening keertan, it was beautiful, and the shalla's two kittens and dog. Short walk to a beach and some cafes and little shops.

Preksha is a wonderful peaceful place with an extraordinary energy. The moment I crossed the gate I felt blessed and reenergized. The management, staff & instructors are absolutely adorable and cater for whatever your needs are with a beautiful smile. I am very satisfied with the quality & quantity of the classes and practice as well as those of the healthy meals provided. The location near Mandrem beach is just perfect. It's a very enjoyable lush environment with the right amount of locals & foreigners. I truly enjoyed every moment spent in Preksha and hope to be able to come back soon. I highly recommend it!!

"Come here to have authentic yoga and Ayurveda experience. "

I have done several yoga retreats in Goa, Spain, Greece etc and I have to say this was the best. The quality of teaching here was excellent especially asanas by Binal and yoga philosophy by Bhavana. Their in depth knowledge and previous experience came through.

The place is very green and close to the beach too. The food here is vegetarian and we were around 10 people and we went out a few times to try the local cuisine.

I will be coming back for Ayurvedic detox treatment soon.

"Experiencia increíble "

Me gustó absolutamente todo. La experiencia fue increíble.

Las clases de filosofía son muy amenas, se nota el gran conocimiento de la profesora como su pasión por el yoga. Me encantaron estas clases, la profesora es amable con una sonrisa siempre en la cara.

Las clases de yoga también fueron increíbles. La profesora es amable y también se nota que tiene mucho conocimientos. Siempre dispuesta ayudar con una sonrisa en la cara. Me encantaron sus clases.

La comida es increíble, un 10. Es deliciosa saludable. El cocinero es muy atento y siempre está pendiente de que no falte nada.

El personal de recepción es servicial y siempre están dispuestos a ayudar en todo.

El manager es muy amable y siempre está asegurándose que todos estén bien y disfrutando de la experiencia.

Por último pero no menos importante, el lugar es un pequeño oasis en la ciudad. Es precioso, sin ruido y rodeado de naturaleza.

Es por todo lo descrito que lo recomiendo sin ninguna duda. Me ha gustado tanto que la semana que viene vuelvo :)

Muchas gracias a todo el equipo por hacer de esta experiencia algo inolvidable.

I loved everything about Preksha. All the teachers were amazing - generous with their knowledge and very helpful. The rest of the staff were also friendly and welcoming. The whole place has a very calm and relaxing vibe, and it’s a short walk to the beach for a refreshing swim. The food was really tasty and I met some wonderful people there.

"Good value in Goa"

The retreat is in a quiet part of Goa, its very relaxing, they offer Yoga, Yoga Teacher training, Detox and Ayurveda treatments and Yoga Nidra at night which ends the day well. So there's a choice of activities to improve your well being. You will meet people from all around the world who come and go through the week, and some stay for month because its not to expensive.

The staff are great and they will help you when you need anything. The owner Sidesh is a good guy and will make your stay more enjoyable, they even play good music there.

"The Perfect Yoga Community "

Lush and green environment in a relaxed setting 😌

I had expected the retreat to be mainly about the yoga asanas - but what surprised me was how engaged I was with the Yoga Philosophy and Meditation. The teacher is so passionate and well informed that she communicated the heart and soul of this Philosophy in a way that was completely relate able.

The accommodation is wonderful with comfy bed, sitting out verandah and good bathroom facilities.

The staff are all amazing and everything runs smoothly.

"Emotional luxury"

Preksha yoga is located at a 10min walk from Mandrem beach in a beautiful green oasis. It is very peaceful and quiet which is great for practicing yoga and meditation. The rooms are spacious and simple, the beds are hard and the shower has to run a little before getting hot. The Ayurveda room is simple and a little worn down. The staff is great, and attentive, the teachers are so very much engaged and what a pleasures are the daily philosophy and meditation classes!

Maybe the most striking thing are the guests. Everybody I met has come here to work on themselves either physically (detox) or mentally and because of this it is such a caring and uplifting atmosphere.

If you are looking for a place to recharge and have meaningful conversations while practising yoga and enjoying healthy food and a good massage, this is the place to be!

"Great all encompassing yoga ashram. "

Bhavna has such a very deep understanding of overall Yoga. Meditation, breath work, philosophy and a great deal more.

Thoroughly taken aback what I was able to comprehend by the end of my monthly stay.

I now possess a small minute inkling of what yoga is all about.

Some may comment on this or that but, if they did not give it 100%, how can they expect to walk out at the end of their stay feeling fulfilled.

The prayers, body awakening sessions, mindful breath work, the stillness, the quite time, all are aimed at a deeper understanding of self.

Bavnah hit it right on the head. I am planning to return.

Bavnah, thank you for all you share. It is very apparent that your life is yoga and all it encompasses

Overall the staff were lovely and made my stay really enjoyable. The programme was really rich and loads of classes to do. The quality of teaching was amazing- I loved the meditations and philosophy classes especially. Also the daily massage in the package I chose was a real treat. I would definitely come back here. It’s chilled and peaceful, and 15 min walk to the beach.

Thank you everyone at Preksha.

"Amazing and beautiful community experience "

All the staff at Preksha are enormously genuine lovely people who work together wonderfully and have a great sense of humour .

The food was absolutely delicious and it was special that everyone ate and washed up together . The yoga and meditation were great ( the yoga was a bit challenging for me - I’m 67 but it didn’t matter - I did what I could ) and the philosophy sessions were fascinating .

Some of the additional activities were particularly inspiring - the Mandala art session with Mansi was fantastic and the sunset hill top walk and the yoga on the beach at sunrise were very special .

I came on my own and made some lovely friends at Preksha . I will definitely try and go back there and recommend it to all my friends . It’s also fantastic value - there is a real sense that the staff want to give you a profound spiritual experience - they’re not about making money .

If you want an experience of living in a community - to feel safe and cherished but also stretched and inspired this is a great place to come

"Excellent Indian and yoga experience."

Everything is catered for here, yoga Asana, philosophy, meditation, including special courses /regimes, detox, trauma training, massage on site and more. Bhavna and Binal the two yoga instructors could not do enough for you. Ayush the chef always there to explain each dish , very healthy food. The boss Sideish and staff top class. It is not far from Mopa airport and a 15/20 minutes walk to the beach. Another 30 minutes stroll along the beach will bring you to Arambol . A very satisfying week, maybe stay longer next time.

"Amazing and Transformational! "

I stayed at Preksha for 16 days and from start to finish it was a great experience.

They are so fast at responding to booking enquires and changes, very accommodating.

The accommodation is very clean and has a wonderful community feel.

The food is Vegetarian and there is plenty. Yoga twice a day is very good and they have different instructors for Philosophy and meditation so it creates a great balance.

You can either fill your day with classes and workshops, or take time out by yourself and enjoy the sunshine.

It is 10 mins walk from the beach with easy access, and shops and supermarkets are about 15 mins walk.

In terms of value for money- this is absolutely amazing.

Also- the animals! They have a dog onsite and a few cats/kittens who are really well cared for.

All in all an amazing experience and I will definitely be visiting again.

An amazing yoga retreat that got me really into yoga. The peaceful location, the whole experience and great teachers were wonderful. Everything was fantastic, and I really enjoyed my stay.

I was made very welcome from arrival to departure. Every member of staff always had a smile and a kind word. The whole experience far exceeded my expectations.

This was my first yoga retreat and will now on be top of my list of holiday pursuits.

I'm not a veggie but I found the food plentiful, varied, and wholesome. I will now try to incorporate more fruit and vegetables into my diet.

The instructors are very well qualified, inspiring, and helpful. They always answered any questions and provided lots of follow up materials which will keep me busy for some time.

The happiness around the ashram brought the best out of the other guests and one never felt lonely at meal times.

The ashram is a ten minute walk from the market and beach which I ventured to on the last day.

Thank you Preksha and see you again soon.

"A place to learn and grow. "

This was my first yoga retreat and it has inspired me for more.

The environment is secluded from the hassle and beautifully curated with nature. The staff were incredibly attentive and caring from before my arrival to the end of my retreat. Every meal was delicious with a good variety of ingredients and flavour.

I couldn't thank enough Manish, the yoga instructor, who has inspired me so much with his presence and knowledge of yoga. Not only did he teach the postures, but he also found what was hidden in me and guided me to discover more of my body. It's a great program with a combination of physical and theoretical learning. I enjoyed the philosophy classes taught by Bhavna so much that they broadened my thinking.

There's no word good enough to describe my gratitude for this incredible experience. I will for sure come back.

"Your home away from home "

This was the highlight of my year. I don’t think there are words to express my gratitude to the whole team at Preksha Yoga. Everyone was kind and friendly, super helpful, engaged with me, learned my name, they are beautiful souls that made my stay unforgettable.

The food is DELICIOUS. You’ll never get bored as it’s so varied. The special dinner on Thursday is amazing!!!

The yoga classes are a highlight. Deepak is the best teacher of my life, now that I’m back in London doing yoga, no one is as good as him, and I wish I could do his classes every week! He’s an excellent teacher and I learned so much from him.

Jugnu teaches yoga philosophy class and she is incredible, she deconstructed such a complex topic in a very easy way to understand it. Her class was so engaging and unique, I wish I could have stayed longer to learn more about it! She is the nicest person too.

The ashram itself is an oasis, super green, beautiful. Perfect place to relax and connect to yourself.

They have a therapy room with massages and treatments, the massages were perfect!

I wish I could had stayed longer, I cried when I left. For context I’m 29yo, solo female traveler. I worried if it’d be difficult to meet people as I was going solo. But not all, everyone was so friendly and I met the loveliest group of women! It was hard to say goodbye because it felt like home away from home.

I can’t wait go back. Thank you so much to all staff, you are all so wonderful 🙏🏼

"The best Yoga retreat in Goa"

I originally booked for 2 weeks, but I loved here and booked 1 week extra. I loved Deepak’s Yoga classes. He is surely the best Yoga teacher in my life. Bhavna’s Philosophy classes were very interesting. She inspired me to study more by my own. The staff was caring and helpful. Siddhu noticed my hip problem and arranged an appointment with a doctor. I enjoyed Ayurveda treatments and massages by Anita and Hari. They are professionals.

I first communicated with Nitesh via WhatsApp and got quick and valuable answers to my questions.

The food was tasty and balanced, not spicy.

My double room was clean and with beautiful curtains. Also there were fan and air conditioner. I found just right message for me framed on the wall.

There is a lovely cafe area where you can relax, also order coffee, papaya etc juices, smoothies, salads and snacks. You can get a book for reading from the local library there.

There is Sandy’s safe taxi service with good price available from and to the Goa Airport or you can order taxi trips to the South or even to Delhi.

The beach is not far from Ashram. The sea water is very warm and the waves are not too strong. The best time for swimming was in the morning when the sea was low. When the high tide started the sea like pulled toward open ocean. For me was it the sign to come out from the water. I liked Yoga on the beach Thursday morning.I recommend Preksha Yoga Ashram everyone, it was cheapest in Goa and the service is very good. Many thanks!

"Traumhafte Auszeit in Mandrem!"

Ich habe einen wunderschönen, fast vierwöchigen Urlaub im Preksha Yoga Ashram verbracht. Es war eine sehr friedliche Umgebung und ich habe mich jederzeit sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Sobald ich Fragen hatte, konnte ich jeden ansprechen und alle waren sehr hilfsbereit. Auch das Essen war sehr lecker, der Koch hat sich große Mühe gegeben, dass jeder zufrieden ist. Grundsätzlich wird nicht scharf gekocht, was mir sehr entgegenkam.

Die Unterrichtseinheiten waren hervorragend. Ich habe in dieser Zeit so unglaublich viel gelernt. Die Teacher sind sehr kompetent und wollen einem so viel wie möglich vermitteln. Sie geben einem auch immer Tipps zur praktischen Ausführung. Da ich vorher noch nicht so viel mit Yoga zu tun hatte, ist es mir zu Beginn sehr schwer gefallen, doch das hat sich nach einer Woche gelegt.

Ich würde definitiv empfehlen, ein Enzelappartment mit Klimaanlage zu buchen, die sind grundsätzlich nicht so überhitzt und gut gelegen. Die Größe des Appartments war vollkommen ausreichend. Man gewöhnt sich sehr schnell an die dortigen Umstände.

Es gab einen Wasserspender, sodass man sich jederzeit (sauberes) Trinkwasser besorgen konnte, das fand ich sehr praktisch.

In den Ort Mandrem läuft man etwa 10 Minuten und zum Strand circa 15 Minuten. In dem Ort gibt es viele schöne Cafés. Auch der Strand ist sehr schön. Man kann auch zu Fuß nach Arambol laufen, dort gibt es etwas mehr zu sehen und es ist etwas mehr los.

Ich kann es nur weiterempfehlen!! Ich danke euch allen!!

My stay was the best I could do for myself while being in India. Since the very first interaction I had a good feeling and when I came to Ashram all was even better than expected. Everyone is very positive, open and ready to help or answer any question. Classes were challenging and so that they gave me a solid foundation. I can totally recommend this place. I even extended my stay from 5 days to almost two weeks.

"Arjun’s Review"

From my first contact by phone with the organiser of Preksha Yoga, i was given the number for Siddhu, the operations manager, whom made getting there so easy. As soon as i arrived and was given a tour by Siddhu, it was obvious that this is a clean, spacious, beautifully laid out property. Siddhu helped with phone and internet concerns, and we have had daily contact. Assish and the other kitchen staff are top rate, not only in terms of the delicious food prepared three times each day, but due to their interpersonal skills. Assish comes from a village close to Rudraprayag, where i first trained, so this has been a nice connection.

Classes are twice daily, except on Sundays, and i can not speak highly enough about the high level of professionalism of Manish. He is thorough, detailed, encouraging, friendly, and with an incredibly high standard of the English language. Manish’s classes provide something for everyone, whether a long turn practitioner such as me, or a beginner. Manish is always happy to help after class with any concerns or questions, and often helps serve food.

Philosophy and Meditatikn classes, as well as yoga on Sunday morning is run by Bhavna, a beautiful, gentle woman, whose meditations on forgiveness and light and

dark, to name just two, are incredibly powerful. Easy to talk to over meals, as well as after classes, Bhavna is a wonderful.

Preksha Yoga is somewhere i know i will return to.

Die Organisation war sehr gut: Der yoga Lehrer war wirklich sehr gut - man wurde auch als Anfänger auf die Vers. Asanas vorbereitet. Man bekam alternative Posen wenn etwas nicht ging oder man zb Verletzungen hatten. Sehr professionell !

Der Operation Manager war super professionell und hilfsbereit, sehr gut erreichbar via WhatsApp und natürlich vor Ort. Das Essen war wirklich excellent - man hat drei mal am Tag indisches Essen bekommen. Beim Frühstück gab es immer Porridge oder Müsli sowie etwas mit Gemüse oder etwas indisches.

Das Einzelzimmer war einfach aber ausreichend. Man hat auch einen kleinen Platz auf einer Mini Terrasse vorm Zimmer.

Optional: Die Ayuvedische Massage war auch sehr gut!

Lage: Es war sehr ruhig (bis auf die Hunde aber die hat man in ganz Indien)

Man geht 15min zum Strand (berg ab) ich hab mir einen Scooter gemietet somit konnte ich noch mobiler herum kommen.

"Exceeds Expectations, Amazing Value for Money"

Couldn't be happier with my experience at Preksha. Siddhesh and the team really care about you having the best stay possible. I was worried about the level of yoga as I haven't practiced in a long time due to my health but Manish led classes for all levels, with slow opening of each area we were working that session, and in one week I could see great improvement. Dr Suvira put me on a detox program which at first I didn't care for but by the end of the week I really enjoyed Chef Ashish's food as it made me feel so good! I will try to keep in mind the guidance she gave me. Another unexpectedly good part were the philosophy classes with Bhavna, at first I didnt want to attend but after the first I knew I couldn't miss as it really gave meaning to the practice of yoga asanas. The massages were amazing and this comes from someone who has had many all over the world. I came with bad back pain and I left light. My therapists Kala, Hari and Gita were all wonderful. We went to a resort down south after and we paid more to get much less, I think this place is amazing value for money, the intentions of all are pure and I would return in a heartbeat.

The team working in this Ashram is truly committed to provide the best experience possible to their guests. I stayed in this Ashram for 7 days and enrolled for the “ 7 Day Wellness and Rejuvenation Retreat with Yoga, Ayurvedic Massages, and Meditation” program. I have to say that I was sad I had to leave. The Yoga instructor is very proficient and positive communicator. The Ayurvedic medical consultation provide me with an interesting new perspective on how to achieve body wellness. The meditation and philosophy classes pointed to new ways to achieve body and mind balance. The team responsible for all the cooking is amazing. The vegetarian food is delicious! I can only recommend this Yoga retreat!

"Exactly what I needed"

Had the most wonderful and unfortunately way too short time at the Preksha Ashram.

Accommodation is simple but more than sufficient (bathroom clean and works, electricity works too, bed comfortable, fan available), food is delicious and very healthy (low fat, low sugar, and once a week theres a special dinner :), timetable fills your day well but still leaves you a bit of time to yourself or to explore without missing classes.

Yoga and Meditation teachers helped me getting a complete new understanding of Yoga and the attached philosophy and history! They were extremely knowledgeable and kind, but also challenge the students.

Participating in all classes is a workout for both body and mind, perfect to take a complete break from your everyday life, but also to process personal things.

I hope I can come back soon!

"An excellent place"

This place is simply amazing! I booked a month straight away and it was the best decision ever! People working at Preksha are wonderful - everyone is extremely nice, helpful and friendly. Siddhesh is a perfect host - he will assist you with organising a taxi, etc. and will always make sure that you are comfortable.

Food served is fresh, healthy and tasty. The whole place has a magical vibe - there's a lot of plants, rooms are clean and cosy and the whole atmosphere is very relaxed.

My favourite part of the retreat was yoga - Manish is a wonderful, knowledgeable and passionate teacher - he will help you get out of your comfort zone and will help you work on whatever you need the most.

Meditation sessions and philosophy classes are amazing as well - you will learn a lot.

The on-site ayurvedic doctor can help you not only with detoxing or special treatments but also with any health problems that you may have. She is willing to help and knows other specialists in the area.

The retreat is located in a walking distance (10 min) from the beach and from the market with bigger shops. Mandrem is a great place to chill, you can explore the beach during the morning break and on Sundays you can walk to Arambol or nearby towns by the beach or explore the area on a scooter.

I highly recommend this place and I can't wait to visit it again!

"Great Yoga Retreat option "

Excellent yoga retreat. The food offered is delicious, staff is very friendly, the place is very beautiful and with a convenient location.

This is great option if you're looking for a Yoga Retreat in Mandrem, they also offer different treatments (Ayurvedic medicine, different types of massage, detox, etc.)

The food is completely vegetarian and also delicious. They had different options during the week we were there and one day of the week it included a "banana leaf meal" which is an authentic south Indian way of serving the food and the food itself was extra special this day.

This will be an experience you won't regret, regardless of the amount of days you decide to stay.

There's a washing machine available on site for 200 rupees wich is very convenient.

I also appreciated the excellent communication with Siddesh prior to my arrival, and he answered all my questions quickly. I met lovely people at Preksha and enjoyed visiting Mandrem beach each day. 10/10 would recommend!

The entire staff is dedicated to the guests , always making sure that your needs are satisfied . The Ayurvedic clinic is run by an excellent and very caring Ayurvedic Doctor , her team is talented , caring and so professional. I had a Panchakarma treatment and I could not have been more please (my 2d in the last 6 years i)

The Meditation &Yoga classes were given by absolutely top teachers , all of them with high level of spirituality , truthfulness and excellent teaching skills , they were a total of 4 , one is not in the list of this web site and I like to add her name :Hemmala.

Een aanrader voor wie enkele dagen tot rust wil komen. De yogalessen zijn goed, je maakt kennis met verschillende stijlen. In vele yoga verblijven in Goa, kom je bij een retraite in de lessen van een lerarenopleiding terecht, dit is hier niet het geval. Hier kan je gewoon genieten van een goede yoga workout.

Een van de betere bungalows, zeker voor de prijs.

I booked the Yoga-Retreat (5 days).

After the First 2 days in the beautiful Ashram I knew, that I wantend To extend my stay, so luckily I was able to extend my stay for another 2 days and spended a whole week in beautiful Preksha Ashram.

The teachers were amazing and the Yoga with the Meditations, Chantings, Philisophie-Classes, Assanas... were really transforming and healing for me. As I am a „beginner“ to Yoga it was really nice to learn everything slowly and always in the time I needed.

I fell in love with Goa, with Yoga, the amazing people / women I met and myself again.

To everyone looking for a place to learn about Yoga I can highly recommend Preksha Yoga.

Whenever I am back in Goa I will spend some time in the Ashram, meet the Friends I made there and all over the Word.

All in all I can just say, that I am really greatful for this amazing time, the love and efford the teachers and stuff putted in every single one of us, the people I met and everything I learned.

Les cours étaient très interessant; j’ai appris beaucoup sur la philosophie du yoga et les mantras entre autre. Les cours de yoga étaient bien structurés et variés, et les professeurs s’assurent toujours de corriger ta posture; j’ai pu m’améliorer dans ma pratique. Je remercie tout l’équipe pour ce beau séjour et j’espère pouvoir revenir un jour :D Namaste!

Ich habe 8 Tage am Blissretreat teilgenommen bevor ich nach Hause geflogen bin und dass war die beste Entscheidung auf meiner zweimonatigen Reise!

Dieser Ort ist magisch, er strahlt so viel Ruhe aus und es ist leicht sich wieder mit sich selber zu verbinden und in den Einklang mit seinem Körper, Geist und Seele zu kommen!

Die Lehrer sind super, sie korrigieren in den asanas und führen einen verbal gut in die Position!

Das Personal ist unglaublich hilfsbereit und versucht auf jede Frage mit Rat und Tat zur Seite zu stehen und hat immer ein Lächeln zum teilen!

Die Philosophiestunden waren mit eines meiner Highlights super informativ! Und noch einmal ein riesen Lob an die Küche, das Essen ist super rein und sehr bekömmlich! Es ist perfekt um den Körper zu nähren und bei dem Prozess der inneren Reise zu unterstützen (da es nicht schwer im Magen liegt).

Der Ort Mandrem ist so fried voll und ruhig! Zum Strand sind es ca. 10 min zum Fuß unterwegs kommt man an ein paar Shops vorbei ;)!

Ich kann dieses retreat zu 150 % weiter empfehlen!!!

"A perfect yoga retreat for everyone"

Other then the comfortable rooms, the food, the kindness of the staff and good energy. The foundation I received through philosophy class and meditation. Sessions through intense to light yoga classes, I have found the meaning of yoga in it's most pure form. This gave me a n understanding of why I am doing yoga to begin with. Going to different drop on yoga classes might excite me for it's new but this retreat gave me the essence of the connection between yoga a d mindfulness, clear mind through meditation to a healthy body through practice of asanas. I can highly recommend for those who want to understand why they are attracted to yoga. I miss my teachers who gave me so much knowledge and kindness. can't wait to come back :)

Thank you Chandrika, Siddhesh, Vinod and Anjeli for this profound experience and for being sharing the knowledge and laughs. Miss you all.

Loved the schedule of yoga, meditation, meals, and even options to pay for massages on site. Great location as it is close to the beach and freedom to wander around if you want. Loved the instructors too (Chandrika, Anjali and Vinod). Also Tipu is the friendliest dog I've ever met in India. Would definitely recommend for someone who has never experienced a yoga/meditation retreat as it is very non-intimidating.

You will have yoga at the beach, meditation on the hill which really adds to the experience. Definitely try the massages too!

"Loved Preksha and can't wait to visit again "

My friend and I ended up extending our stay an extra 4 days at Preksha because we just loved it so much.

The yoga instructors are wonderful, knowledgeable and warm. The food was so delicious! We enjoyed every meal.

And we got a great sense of inner peace at the end of stay at Preksha from the beautiful meditation and yoga classes. Close walk to the beach too which is nice.

Highly recommended Preksha.

"Great experience !!"

When I arrived I knew nothing about yoga or meditation. I can say that I have really enjoyed this retreat.

The place is very peaceful, in the middle of nature, the accommodation is nice, very clean. The food is vegetarian and very good. Every single member of the staff is very nice, always looking to help you.

The yoga classes varied a lot during the retreat in terms of yoga style, but they were all very good. I had never done yoga before, but the classes were adapted to everyone since other students were experimented yoga enthusiasts. The teachers are so nice, so happy, it is a real pleasure to have them as teachers. You also can find some time to go to the beach to relax.

I highly recommend this retreat.

"BEST YOGA RETREAT"

The value for money was amazing and we had the perfect balance of yoga and free time. It made the whole experience in such a beautiful location perfect. Also the teachers were so great and adaptable, for example we went to a hilltop and then another day the beach for morning yoga which was such a lovely experience and will add to my endless positive memories of this place.

Had an amazing 5 days with Preksha Yoga. As a beginner I was initially quite nervous, however the instructors were excellent in developing my understanding of a wide range of yogic principles. They are great teachers and very knowledgeable. The programme was very well organised. Accommodation and the food was great. 10 minute walk to mandrem beach and a short ride away from Arambol, which we had time to check out in between lessons. Very relaxing atmosphere which was difficult to leave.

This Place is really worth a visit! I felt very welcome! The stuff really cares for your wellbeing and is so friendly.

A big thank you to yogi madhav, who was my Yoga teacher while i was staying in the ashram. He is the embodyment of true Yoga! For me it was very simple to follow his instructions. I felt so motivated and happy for every session with him.

Dr. Bandekar is also excellent in his field!

With his sharp intellect he was able to answer every of my questions.

"Perfect place for Yoga retreat"

The place was calm and peaceful. The accomodation was clean and everything I needed was equipd. Yogi Madhav was professional and the morning meditation made my stress release. The Yoga Ashram was not located by Mandrem beach (about 10min walk), but it was very nice for me because the around the beach was busy and noisy.

Er hangt een heerlijke rustige vibe. We hadden dit on the go geboekt, een yoga retreat stond niet op de planning. Maar zo blij dat we preksha yoga hebben ontdekt! Mogelijkheid tot twee keer per dag meditatie en twee keer per dag yoga. Wij zijn beginners en kregen goede uitleg, maar kreeg tegelijkertijd de indruk dat het niet te makkelijk was voor gevorderden. Dus voor elk niveau een goede les. We zijn (helaas) maar 4 dagen geweest, maar hebben veel geleerd. De rust en het gezonde lekkere eten kwamen als geroepen na 4 weken hectisch India. Verder waren de bedden comfortabel, de badkamer schoon en was er warm water om te douchen.

Echt een aanrader!
