We are a Holistic Yoga Retreat Center located in the peaceful village setting behind Arambol Beach, North Goa. Specializing in yoga retreats, yoga holidays, and teacher training, we also have the strongest holistic clinic presence in all of Goa. We offer Chinese doctors, acupuncture, Tibetan medicine, Ayurveda, Vedic astrology, and a range of body work and massage. Our organic garden grows all the food you will eat at Samata for your Yoga in Goa experience, and our chefs will keep your mouth watering – you’ll wish you didn’t have to leave.
We welcome any type of retreat, all styles of yoga, meditation, dance, and any other healing modality. Come relax, unwind, and sink deep into your retreat while enjoying the lush gardens of Samata. The morning birdsong and occasional monkey visits, not to mention the fly-by’s of the giant hornbills are just some of the magic that Samata has to offer.
There are 19 rooms to accommodate up to 38 people for privately booked retreats from teachers who bring their groups from overseas. There is a beautiful workshop space of 12 x 12 meters, a secondary smaller shala of 8x8 meters, swimming pool, organic vegetable garden, and the shade from our giant Mango Tree.
