Welcome to our family-run retreat centre and guest house, found between Anjuna and Mapusa (Map~sa) in Goa, India. We offer an array of yoga retreats, workshops, yoga teacher trainings and yoga holidays in what we feel to be one of the best locations in Goa. Within easy reach to enjoy the beaches of the Arabian sea, yet far enough away; to feel the authenticity of Goan village life and the peacefulness of the centre within.
We have created two of the most beautiful yoga shalas in Goa, both with wood flooring, a swimming pool to relax around and tropical gardens for gathering as a group or resting solo. A relaxed and intimate community setting, where you are likely to experience inner transformation; whilst learning from practitioners, yogis and yoginis, who share their wisdom.
Whilst you take your training or workshop, know that everything will be taken care of. Our team of warm and friendly staff, (all from the village), will look after and treat you like a friend or family member, with a smile on their face and care and attention second to none. Many comment this is what makes Satsanga so special!
Nourishing your life takes more than just sunshine, yoga and friendly staff (although these are important factors, found here!). The food you eat and fuel you drink is everything. Our kitchen serves full-body satisfaction on every plate and in every glass, leaving your body buzzing in gratitude.
Welcome to your home away from home, in tropical paradise!
Although we offer retreats and trainings scheduled throughout the season, we also welcome individuals to stay with us for a personal yoga holiday. You can enjoy daily yoga classes, delicious vegetarian meals, swimming, massages, Ayurvedic consultations and more. To make a reservation, please contact us.
We serve from a vegetarian kitchen, with the freshest ingredients. It is challenging to source a completely organic kitchen in Goa, but we do what we can by purchasing locally grown fruit and vegetables sourced from the market and other trusted merchants. Most of our grains and sweeteners such as honey and jaggery are organic. We also prepare everything fresh and homemade – some of the herbs and salad ingredients used by the kitchen are grown in our garden, when ready the bananas can be picked from the trees at Satsanga, and your soya milk is freshly made on site. Our eggs are always organic and are sourced from the village free-range chickens.
Breakfast
For breakfast you’ll enjoy a mouthwatering array of tropical fruits, served buffet style alongside chia porridge, muesli made with organic toasted and popped amaranth, yoghurt, organic wild honey, fresh home made breads and chutneys or jams. A hot dish can be served alongside this, such as idli with chutney and sambar, masala/millet dosas, shakshuka, scrambled eggs, vegan omelettes, or gluten-free pancakes.
Afternoon/Evening Meals
Afternoon and evening meals vary daily. You can taste the flavours of India and South Asia with our beautifully prepared traditional Indian dishes, or exquisite vegetarian/vegan dishes such as khow suey, Sri Lankan thalis, or raw lasagna. Our kitchen serves quite a wide and unique variety of food (often inspired by home-style cooking), so you are sure to be excited and inspired by your food experience at Satsanga. We also make some pretty incredible vegan ice-cream.
Wood Fire Pizza/Snacks
We have a new wood fire pizza oven and serve pizza on Friday evenings, if it agrees with the retreat’s food requests.
In case you need a snack in between meals, we offer a menu of bliss balls, energy bars, juices, and light snacks such as fruit or homemade oatmeal biscuits that can be ordered for an extra charge. Teas such as chamomile, peppermint, hibiscus and black tea are available 24 hours in the dining hall alongside regular coffee.
