Breathing Space yoga retreats

Time to carve out space for reconnection and restoration. In the words of Uma Dinsmore-Tuli: welcome home to yourself.

Our next retreat is being planned. Our last retreat was a week in South Goa in November 2025. Register your interest below and you'll be the first to hear when new dates are announced.

Goa, India

Sea, sand, sunsets and yoga

Our Goa retreats are held at Bamboo Yoga Retreat on Polem Beach in South Goa. It has open-air practice spaces, cosy beachside bungalows and a beachfront restaurant, with ocean views and the sound of the waves.

We practise in the cool of the morning and the golden light of the afternoon, in our own open-air space overlooking the sea.

Morning practice (90 minutes to 2 hours): mixed-level hatha yoga, with meditation and pranayama.
Afternoon practice (90 minutes to 2 hours): restorative practices including yin yoga, pranayama, chanting, yoga nidra and meditation. It ends before dusk, so you can watch the sun go down and maybe take a sunset dip.
