10 DAY YOGA RETREAT WITH STEFFY IN GOA, INDIA | 6th - 16th MARCH 2016
Following on from three truly wonderful years in Goa, Chaya return once again to India for their fifth retreat in March 2016, with the inspirational teaching of Steffy White.
LOCATION
Set amongst cashew and mango groves and only minutes from the magnificent Ashwem beach, is one of Goa’s most luxurious eco retreats; Kaju Varo. Winning Conde Naste Traveler's award for best luxury boutique stay in Goa, this is a truly awe-inspiring home for Chaya - we are so happy to be hosting another retreat here. Each individually designed eco-lux villa demonstrates contemporary elegance and minimalist design, creating a perfectly private, serene and peaceful environment for our guests to unwind. The team at Kaju Varo truly are amazing and will look after your every need.
All our Goan venues demonstrate contemporary elegance and minimalist design, creating what we feel is a perfectly serene and truly zen environment for our guests to unwind. The staff are second to none and we dearly love them; they are some of the best we have worked with and will look after your every need.
YOGA
Steffy’s beautiful, nurturing teaching will guide guests through a heart-opening and expansive practice during our 10 day ‘Nourish’ retreat. Using yoga, meditation and pranayama she will create a safe space for you to connect with your heart energy. Using this connection, the practice will gently enable the clearing of any mental and emotional blocks, thus enabling a new understanding of how to best nourish and love yourself. All whilst cultivating a deep strength and flexibility in the physical body, to support this new level of self-awareness and healing.
The retreat is suitable for all levels of yogic experience – whether you are a new yogi or have a long-term practice.

WELLBEING FOOD, MENUS & WORKSHOP WITH LUCY HILL
Chaya’s Lucy Hill will bring her knowledge and understanding of wellbeing food to the retreat; ensuring a completely balanced and nourishing, not to mention tasty menu. The food will refer to the pillars of a therapeutic diet to best support you during retreat. With daily juices and homemade vegan mylks, two nourishing and delicious alkaline-focussed buffet style meals per day, unlimited fruits and herbal teas; all designed to leave you feeling clearer, lighter and brighter on every level.
As with all retreats, Lucy will also teach an optional 2 hour workshop; covering topics such as nut and seed milks, raw chocolate and other healthy and delicious ways to upgrade the way you eat - and the way you feel.
MENUS
Goan gourmet chefs adept in catering to every desire, will use local, seasonal ingredients to create a delicious, cleansing and nourishing menu; which will balance and clear the body whilst stimulating the palate. From typical Goan feasts, to the freshest local seafood through to pure raw vegan, the award-winning kitchen can accommodate all tastes and dietary requirements.
Also included in the retreat price is the opportunity to visit the lively local night market. Additionally trips to a traditional Indian spice farm, Old Goa, Mapusa market, a wonderful local natural perfumer and other local sights can be arranged.
TULA MASSAGE & INSPIRATIONAL BREATHING WITH NICOLA PRICE
We are very privileged to welcome back Nicola Price on retreat this year in Goa. Nicola will be hosting a group workshop introducing guests to the profound benefits of 'Inspirational Breathing'. This simple but life-changing practice can enable people to really shift stuff... To let go of deeply suppressed emotions, to get clear of areas of their life, making way to access a sense of peace and relaxation... All by by connecting to their body on a cellular level by engaging with their own 'inspirational breath'. Nicola has been working with the breath for many years and is now training others in the practice from her studio and school near Brighton. Nicola will also be working with our guests who will each receive a 1.5 hour Tula style massage, which is included in the retreat price.
