  Training Program held on Apr 07, 2023—May 02, 2023

  I attended Goa Yogashala in April 2023, and it was an incredible experience! Goa is a beautiful state, and the beaches in Agonda, Goa are better than I expected. I recently traveled to Punta Cana and I would choose the beach across from Goa Yogashala ANY DAY. On site the food provided at the shala is delicious, vegetarian food with a great variety day to day. I looked forward to the fresh fruit at breakfast every single day. The teachers are super friendly and personable. They care so much about what they teach and are so knowledgeable. Praveen is a really in depth teacher with a great sense of humor I think sometimes he doesn't even know he's being funny. I had a wonderful vinyasa teacher who brought music into her classes and had such a happy personality. Anatomy yeacher was so smart and friendly with a little sass, and philosophy teacher was super cool, has us laughing but also taught so much in every class. They were able to accommodate for any issues you might have with your room, allow you to upgrade to ac room whenever if space is available, and care about your comfort the while time. Ihad a wonderful time here and wish I would have extended my stay. I definitely recommend, if your sensitive to heat, I advise coming earlier in the year before april/may. I am from Canada so if your from a warmer country it won't be as big of an adjustment.
