YOGA RETREAT IN GOA
23 - 30 March 2025
Welcome to paradise!
We’ve had many retreats at Bamboo over the years and we can guarantee that you’ll get an amazing experience!
Relax and recharge on one of Goa’s most peaceful and beautiful beaches! No matter if this is the first time in India – or if you’ve been here many times before – this is a dream holiday!
- March is a wonderful time in Goa: after the busy times of the high season there are less tourists and more space. We chose this date so that you'll get a calm and relaxing experience and at the same time enjoy the magic of India.
- All the huts and cabanas have AC and fans, and we're right on the beach, so we also have the refreshing breeze from the ocean.
- New location: Bamboo Yoga has moved to Polem beach: one of the most peaceful beaches in Goa!
- Enjoy amazing food, yoga, swim in the ocean and take a siesta in a hammock, book a massage... if you'd like to do some shopping or explore more of Goa, you have a day off and we can arrange taxis for you to visit markets and other beaches.
- You'll get lots time to reconnect with your yoga practice and useful tools for self-enquiry. Optional: daily time and space to support reflection and journaling. Our intention is to spark your inspiration to take back home.
- Also included: a tailored workshop based on what you request!
- Bamboo Yoga is an award winning retreat centre and our favourite place in Goa!
You’re in very safe hands! I live just around the corner and I know this area very well. Goa has been my home for 18 years.
– Jennie
I lived in Goa for half the year for around 15 years. Goa really feels like my second home and my “special place”. This will be my first time back in four years and I am very excited to host you all.
– Melanie
Testimonials from previous retreats:
“This was the first time I visited India and it was absolutely amazing! Melanie and Jennie made me feel so welcome and relaxed, from the very first email, throughout the whole retreat experience! I’ve learnt so much, I’ve made friends for life, and feel so rested and inspired. It’s been two months now since I came back from the retreat but I still feel calm and focused despite having a hectic time at work. Wow! Thank you SO MUCH!”
– Charlotte, Sweden

How to get there
Google map
It’s easy: just get a flight to Goa and Bamboo can arrange a pickup and drop off at the airport.
Goa has two airports. The closest airport is GOI Dabolim (less than 2 hours by taxi) but you can also fly to GOX Mopa (less than 3 hours by taxi).
If you want help with anything just let us know.
Accommodation
Built using local organic materials, our beach cabanas and huts are simple and stylish, comfortable, private and eco-friendly. Located just steps from the beach, they are designed to help you reconnect with nature. Whether lying in the hammock on your balcony, or falling asleep to the sound of the waves, the normal stresses of life melt away and you will feel open to a more profound yoga practice.
All the huts and cabanas have AC & fans. Both are super comfortable. The difference between them is that the cabanas are boutique hotel style and a bit bigger, and the huts are more affordable.
Optional add ons:
– Single room: add £300: available.
– Beach front: add £300: fully booked (join waitlist)

“Jennie and Melanie are an amazing team! They have a non-dogmatic and intuitive approach to teaching which means the content and structure naturally blend with the needs and interests of the group.
As always, I will be returning for more!”
