provides beautifully furnished rooms, some of them with an open-air
shower, the kitchen offers delicious Indian food, carefully cooked
according to the principles of Ayurvedic and vegetarian cooking.
In the wonderful yoga shala, which has a wooden floor (a very rare thing
for India) the energy that welcomes participants is really special and
facilitates a very special yoga practice as for intensity and
concentration.
Not to mention amazing Goa: a paradise on the Indian sea, with wonderful
beaches surrounded by palm trees and offering charming sunsets. This is
an experience you should really try!

PRACTICAL ADVICE:
the use of a motor scooter as a transport is suggested, you can rent it
for about 2-3 Euros a day. This is the easiest and most used way to move
around in Goa. We’ll take care of this if you require it. There are also
taxis that can be booked directly from the center. You can buy a sim
card for your cell phone, this is the most economic way to call even
abroad: a call to Italy costs about 5 Rs per minute, less than 10 Euro
cents. The exchange rate from Euro to Rupies is very easy and even
easier if you exchange cash. In case you would like to withdraw money
from ATM you will find some ATM machines.
You can book your taxi from
the airport to the center in advance, this is highly suggested, this way
the driver already knows where to take you. The cost is about 900-1000
Rs to be shared among the passengers. Remember not to take much clothing
with you when traveling , once in Goa you can buy very nice things at
very cheap prices. Please do not carry with you personal hygiene
products, at the center you will find shampoo, hair conditioner, soap,
toothpaste, all of which ayurvedic and natural products. Vaccinations
are not required as the place where we’ll stay is protected and safe
To enter in India i needed
the VISA
that can be done at the
Consulate of India
in any country.
Elena is at your disposal to clear any doubts or answer
any questions related to the trip and the retreat. For those of you who
would like to visit India but still feel timorous about it, this is
definitely the easiest and safest way to take a trip to the land of
Yoga, and be certain you will spend a wonderful holiday and an
unforgettable yogic experience. Goa is a very easy place!
