SWAN Yoga Retreat - Assagao, Goa

We absolutely loved our time here! Sadly we only had time to fit in a weekend yoga retreat but it was an amazing break away from the busy cities. The food was some of the best of our trip - so much flavour and healthy. The instructors were super friendly and knowledgeable and the yoga was great for all levels. We felt in good, safe hands the whole time. The fire rituals were really good fun in the evenings. The shacks were comfy as well and gave a good feel that you were really in the jungle. I would absolutely love to go back one day and couldn’t recommend this place enough!

SWAN Yoga Retreat is a truly transformative place. The serene environment, combined with authentic yoga practices, meditation, and the warm hospitality of the team, made my stay an unforgettable experience. The focus on personal growth and inner healing is evident in everything they do. The teachers are knowledgeable, the staff is kind, and the community is welcoming.

If you’re looking for a space to reconnect with yourself, find balance, and experience true peace, SWAN is the place to be. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a meaningful and restorative retreat.

I recently spent two weeks at Swan Yoga for a Panchakarma retreat, and it was a truly transformative experience that I will treasure forever.

Nestled in a serene natural setting, this tranquil sanctuary offers an atmosphere of profound peace, ideal for self-reflection and inner growth. The accommodations are very simple but provide everything you need – including reliable Wi-Fi – to ensure a comfortable stay.

The Ayurvedic program designed for me by the expert Dr. Siddhesh included two daily treatments given by my wonderful therapist Rekha and a special diet of nutritious and healthy Ayurvedic meals. The authentic yoga classes and soothing morning meditations further enriched the experience and played a crucial role in the self-healing process.

One of the highlights of my stay was connecting with a community of inspiring and kind-hearted individuals whose company made the journey even more meaningful and joyful.

I left Swan Yoga not only revitalized but deeply inspired, with a renewed sense of well-being that I carry with me every day.

Eine sehr schöne, lehrreiche und intensive Zeit, die dauerhaft in meinem Gedächtnis bleiben wird. Die Yoga-Trainer und die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Unterkunft ist einfach, gemütlich und sauber. Das ayurvedische Essen ist sehr lecker. Im Retreat herrscht eine sehr ruhige und entspannte Atmosphäre. Wer eine erholsame Auszeit vom Alltag sucht, ist hier sehr gut aufgehoben. Die Kurse sind anspruchsvoll, aber auch Yoga-Anfänger wie ich werden unterstützt und können sich weiterentwickeln. Vielen Dank an die lieben Menschen von Swan-Retreat für diese tolle Zeit!

If you’re looking for an Ashram style yoga retreat with Indian teachers, SWAN is for you! The experience is all encompassing with meditation, asana, pranayama, philosophy, fire ceremonies, mantra chanting and cleansing! You feel like you are in the hands of the gurus who have trained for years at the Bihar School of Yoga. The surroundings are exactly what I was looking for, a tropical forest setting where fruit trees, birds and monkeys thrive. You will be nourished with delicious, vegetarian, mostly Indian fare. And during your downtime, an Ayurvedic doctor and staff are there for consultations and treatments. I never left the property during the week I was there. Best of all, I came to know wonderful teachers, staff and fellow students. Enjoy!

SWAN taught me so much in my 4 days there.
The best way to start my India journey - surrounded by nature, so peaceful, pure and authentic. Everyone is so welcoming, loving and kind. Meditation, asana, philosophy classes, havan, yoga nidra, ayurvedic treatments - amazing experiences. The food is incredible. The staff is so helpful.

I arrived a little bit overwhelmed and left feeling calm and in peace.
Blessed and so grateful that I could stay here.

Bahut Dhanyawad and until we meet again. ✨

Swann Yoga retreat is a unique and sublime place in the middle of the jungle. The location is beautiful and peaceful, the yoga classes are of high quality, and the food is extraordinary. I stayed for 15 days in April to do a panchakarma. The treatments are incredible, and everyone who works in this place is kind and gentle, touching the heart. I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to disconnect and regain lost energy. The morning meditation at sunrise with the sounds of the jungle is a unique moment, and the yoga classes are really good and suitable for all levels, even for people who are not very flexible. It is a true experience to be there, and I recommend it without hesitation. As for the panchakarma, I think it is the ideal place to do it. It is a discovery and a deep work on the body and mind that is worth it. The food is not the same as for people who come solely for yoga. The dietary regimen for panchakarma is quite strict at first, but towards the end, you gradually reintroduce more and more nutritious meals, and you appreciate them even more. It is a charming and authentic place surrounded by lush nature and animals. A little paradise to discover.

I visited Swan for the second time and stayed for 11 days. I had a wonderful time there again. The people are so kind and welcoming. The yoga classes are very professional, and everyone receives individual attention. The food is incredibly delicious, and much of it is grown on-site. I will definitely come back. This place is very special and highly recommended.
