When I looked into visiting Goa for this retreat, I was VERY nervous and didn't know what to expect. When I got there, I immediately got into the groove and enjoyed every minute of it. The days are filled and focused on meditation and health. I came during the monsoon (off-season) but still never felt bored, and enjoyed my free time reading a book. I came in search of a solution for my eczema, which flared up, and leaving I had a fresh renewed hope that with yoga and healthy eating my skin can improve. I have returned home a couple days ago, and I am still eating healthy and continuing to do yoga. I only went for four days but I feel as though that was enough time to set me on a path of healthy habits! Dr. Patel works very hard to run this business, and I also highly recommend his acupuncturist, Dr. Rita Marita Dsouza e Vaz, who was amazing and provided advice that was enormously helpful. If you are planning a trip to India, give this place a try you won't regret it!!
