Ashiyana
TOP 10 YOGA RETREATS
Ashiyana
Located about 90 minutes from Goa, in northern India, Ashiyana is characterized more as a personal growth center than simply a yoga hideaway. Special silent retreats, or satsangs, are gatherings that enable guests to look within to examine, under the guidance of a master, the nature of the true self.
