Alongside Panchakarma · Yoga at SWAN

Ayurveda Yoga Retreat

An immersion into the yogic lifestyle — asana, pranayama, meditation, yoga philosophy and daily Ayurvedic treatment, held in an eco-friendly ashram setting in Assagao, Goa. Offered in three durations: three days, one week, and two weeks.

Three durations, one rhythm

The daily rhythm is the same whichever duration you choose — meditation before sunrise, asana morning and afternoon, philosophy or yoga nidra between, and a shared table for brunch and dinner. What changes with the length of stay is how far the rhythm is allowed to work: three days is a taste of it, a week lets the body settle into it, and two weeks lets it become, briefly, how you live.

3 Day Yoga & Ayurveda Retreat

3 Nights / 3 Days

The shortest way in. Three days of asana, pranayama and yoga philosophy, paired with a daily Ayurvedic treatment, meant for those who cannot give the time for the full retreat but still want the rhythm and not just a class. Mornings are meditation and asana in the jungle quiet; the afternoon session is philosophy, yoga nidra, or open reflection; evenings close with a shared dinner, and — on the day it falls — a havan around the fire.

III. · One Week

Yoga & Ayurveda Rejuvenation — One Week

7 Nights / 8 Days

Guests in meditation on the rocks at dusk, guided at SWAN Yoga Retreat

A full week gives the body time to actually rest into the practice rather than sample it. Alongside the daily asana and meditation, each guest receives a personal Ayurveda consultation and a course of treatments matched to it — the two disciplines, yoga and Ayurveda, are held here as one continuous practice rather than two separate offerings. Kirtan, pranayama, kriyas, a cooking class and an evening havan or trataka round out the week; Friday is kept as a rest day.

14 Days

The full immersion. Two weeks runs the same daily rhythm as the one week programme — asana, meditation, Ayurveda consultation and treatment, philosophy, kirtan — but for long enough that it stops being a routine you are following and starts being simply how the day unfolds. Two rest days are kept, Friday and Saturday, rather than one.

V. · Good to Know

Booking, payment and who this suits

Deposit & payment

A 30% non-refundable deposit secures your place, by bank transfer, PayPal or credit card. For the 3 day retreat the balance is due one week before arrival; for the one and two week retreats, two weeks before. Credit card payments carry a surcharge (3.5–3.9% depending on the programme).

Arrival

Check-in is at 2 PM; check-out at 10 AM (the 3 day retreat checks in and out at 10 AM). Solo travellers should book single occupancy — we cannot guarantee a share, though one may be arranged if another guest comes forward.

Who this is for. This is an ashram, run simply — not a resort. If you are looking for a luxury or hotel-style stay, this retreat will disappoint you; if you are looking for the vedic practice in something close to its original form, it should not.

Retreats run October through May. For any question, write to swanyogagoa@gmail.com or telephone +91 8007 360 677 — describe what brings you, and we will tell you plainly which duration suits.
