The years
pass and the
Goa Retreat
is
increasingly
becoming an
eagerlyawaited
event. Also
for this
year we
propose the
Ashtanga
Yoga Retreat
in Goa with
Elena De
Martin and
always with
great Indian
Masters
Jayashree &
Narasimhan
in the
wonderful
land of
Yoga.
Two
intense
weeks of
study-vacation
to deepen
the
knowledge
of Yoga,
in the
beautiful
scenery
of Goa,
hosted
by the
enchanting
SATSANGA
RETREAT

one of the
best
Yoga Centers
in the world
in
the middle
of the
Indian
nature.
Yoga
Asana,
Transcendental Meditation,
Pranayama,
Yoga
Philosophy
and
Beach,
Sun, Sea,
Sharing
and Joy
all
together!
Yoga
Retreats
are special
experiences:
they help
to deepen
the practice
in a quiet
and
efficient
way and at
the same
time intense
and strong.
Through
daily
practice and
surrounded
from the
ideal
environment,
you can
reach
interior
spaces and
understandings
that in
daily life
we never
touch. This
brings us to
an unusual
lightness of
great
benefit,
especially
for our
lives as
always
subject to
fast-paced
and chaotic
states of
mind.
In this
particular
case, the
retreat in
Indian land
will make it
even more
amplified.
Goa is a
place of
extraordinary
beauty,
still
maintained
in the wild
but at the
same time
organized
and simple!
a paradise
on Indian
Ocean, with
beautiful
beaches and
enchanting
sunsets.
The center
will host us
is super in
both
services and
hospitality,
is equipped
with double
and triple
rooms, some
with a
shower under
the sun or
stars; the
kitchen
offers a
delicious
Indian food,
carefully
cooked
according to
the
principles
of
Ayurvedic
and
vegetarian
food.
The Goa's
retreat is
always
amazing for
everyone and
will be able
to live an
unforgettable
experience
to even the
most
skeptical
about
traveling in
India!
Jayashree & Narasimhan, during their week-long stay, will lead students to discover the deeper meaning of yoga, teaching the traditional method of oral transmission of knowledge Chanting, as well as the philosophy of Yoga and its application in life. These great Indian Masters are carriers of a rare depth of knowledge and their ways that go beyond the usual intellectual approach, reaches out to touch the soul of people.
A special gift that always Narasimhan makes to the retreat's students, is the teaching of Transcendental Meditation (TM): this is a meditation technique widely known in the West. The great founder and popularizer of Transcendental Meditation, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, was a direct master of Narasimhan, his devoted disciple for over 12 years. On his way next to his Guru, Narasimhan has studied and worked with him on many projects of the disclosure of Transcendental Meditation in India. He always chose to stay in his homeland, while many have moved to the West, among them the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, to disseminate this technique. Today in the West the Transcendental Meditation technique is taught through courses organized in almost every country and the teachers are the disciples of the disciples of the disciples (and perhaps even the disciples) of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Instead learn this technique from the authoritative voice of Narasimhan, who bears within him all the authenticity of Transcendental Meditation, itself already has an extreme value, considering that the course in Europe has almost the cost of the retreat itself, if not more!

TIPS:
To move to
Goa the most
practical
way is to
rent a
Scooter at a
cost of
approximately
€ 3,50 per
day.
In India are
not
extremely
attentive to
the rules,
especially
those of the
traffic, but
to avoid any
fine, it
would be
better to
have an
international
driving
license.
The
scooter's
booking can
be done by
the time if
required.
Who does not
love the
two-wheel
drive, it
will be
possible to
book a taxi
directly at
the
affordable
cost.
The taxi
from the
airport to
Satsanga
Retreat can
be booked in
advance;
coming to
pick you up,
you will not
need to
explain
where to go
and you will
avoid being
victimized
by local
taxi
drivers.
The cost is
around
15-20€ to be
divided
between
those who
make the
journey
together.
Clothing and
personal
things: it
is
recommended
not to bring
too much
clothing;
Goa is a
place where
you can buy
some very
nice things
at good
prices.
You can buy
all the
products for
personal
hygiene such
as shampoo,
conditioner,
toothpaste,
soap, all
natural and
ayurvedic.
The clothing
for yoga is
better to
take it and
even your
own mat
(there are
mats
available
but are not
of high
quality).
You do not
need to do
any kind of
vaccination,

where we are
going is

place, you

in the
retreat also

trip.

who have
been with us
the past had
weeks of
great fun

the Indian
experience
as an
opportunity
for great
personal
enrichment.

- Reason :
Retreat Goa
+ name
The Retreat
in Goa over
the years
has become
more and
more known
and
appreciated
thanks to
the
beautiful
experience
that over
200 students
who took
part to it
have lived.
A deep
experience
that rarely
can happen
in
everyday's
life and
which leaves
a
significant
mark also
when we go
back the
busy rhythm
of the life
that we live
day by day.
Many
students
have
experienced
some radical
changes and
have found
the strength
to get out
of difficult
or negative
situations.
Many others
have
developed a
change over
time in
their path
and we have
so many
evidences of
this.
Others have
just enjoyed
two weeks of
great peace
and
relaxation
in harmony
with the
other people
and with
great fun.
Yoga is a
transformative
journey that
offers that
chance to
regenerate
that many of
us are
looking for.
If we pursue
it with
dedication,
determination
and devotion,
that
regeneration
will happen
for sure.
The Goa
Retreat is
the perfect
blend of a
wonderful
location,
the depth of
Yoga and
Meditation
and the
introduction
to the great
value of the
Indian
tradition: a
unique
synergy that
can get to
our heart
and from
there find a
place in our
life.
