Aranya Yoga Aashram

Krishna Baba is a fantastic teacher and kind soul who really makes this school feel like a home. I feel very lucky to have found Aranya Yoga and I will definitely be back next time I'm in India! Great location and delicious food are an added bonus! ?? Thank you for a fantastic week!!

The location of this charming ashram is perfect, secluded but still close enough to Bhagsu to be convenient. Krishna Baba is an amazing and funny teacher who goes out of his way to make his students feel welcome. His staff is great and very informative and making the information easy to understand. He also teaches his students a lot about Indian and Hindu culture in addition to yoga, philosophy, and tantra. During my session we went shopping, to a hot spring, to a wedding, and to a few Diwali celebrations. I highly recommend Aranya yoga to anyone looking to learn more about yoga and India as a whole.

Place filled with love and good energy. Lots of interesting things, you can learn yoga, do your YTTC, sound healing, reiki, cooking class and have lot of fun! I highly recommend it for your spiritual journey. Just stop there and ask what is going on! Lots of hugs and love

I did the 5 day intensive yoga course and it was an incredible experience. I’m a beginner at yoga and Krishna taught me from the beginning. He is a brilliant teacher and puts 100% effort into every one of his students. I took part in sound healing, reiki, a cooking course, and mantra music classes all taught by Krishna. Each was unique and special. They gave me insight into the wonder of yoga and Indian culture. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to have been taught by Krishna and experience his hospitality. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn yoga or improve their skills in a safe and supportive environment right next to the beach in Palolem, Goa.

Absolutely authentic and raw. This is a place where yoga is treated for what it really is and has been for centuries, and not just a pretty workout for pretty Instagram photos. Krishna Baba is a traditional yogin and healer of brahmin lineage who has spent his life traveling across India on his spiritual journey - this quality is unique and makes this whole experience absolutely special. You feel his experience and that special way of understanding life in the way he teaches, the way he runs healing ceremonies and the way he tells his stories - and by being part of this retreat you're welcome to stay close to all this by not only joining the fantastic ashtanga! and hatha yoga classes and ceremonies (daily sound healing or reiki or mantra chanting), but also joining the real life: cooking, evening stories sharing, etc.. I can't imagine I could have found a more authentic and raw place in the whole of Goa. It's not all postcard beautiful (although yoga terrace on the rooftop with the view of the forest is stunning!) and tip-toe organized here, but the power of authentic learning to tap to is massive.
