← All Goa retreatsAbout this selection
Anjuna was Goa's original yoga destination and still hosts some of the most experienced international teachers — the Saturday flea market and clifftop sunset practice are iconic. Anjuna has a strong Ashtanga lineage. The Mysore-style morning practice, the self-paced approach, and the direct teacher-student relationship of this tradition suit the retreat culture here particularly well. Five days in Anjuna is the minimum for genuine transformation — enough time to settle in, practice consistently, and begin experiencing the cumulative effects of daily yoga and immersive environment. Midweek arrivals are often less expensive. August falls outside Anjuna's peak yoga season, which runs October, November, December. That said, retreats run year-round and the off-season offers genuine advantages: lower prices, smaller groups, and a quieter environment that some practitioners actively prefer. The practice itself is unchanged.
