Little Cove Yoga
Location and Accommodation
Imagine practicing yoga under the gentle sway of coconut palm trees, with the sound of the ocean as your soundtrack. Our retreat is set on the stunning Cola Beach, where the pristine white sand meets the turquoise waters of the Arabian Sea. Stay in comfortable beachfront accommodations that provide the perfect blend of tranquility and luxury, allowing you to unwind and recharge.
India, Goa & Safety
It might feel scary to go across the world to India to attend a yoga retreat and that’s why we’ve created systems to make you feel secure and comfortable.
First, it’s good to know that Goa is generally considered a safe destination for travelers. The state of Goa attracts a significant number of tourists each year, and the local authorities prioritize the safety and well-being of visitors.
In good time before the retreat we will have an online meeting where we’ll provide you with all information regarding what to think about, and what to pack.
VIM Yoga Academy will arrange for you to transfer safely from the airport to the Little Cove Resort, and we will also arrange for an air-port buddy, another participant you can meet up with at the airport in order to feel secure.
Words from our students
Rest, Play & Pleasure
Rest, Play, and Pleasure: While empowerment and growth are at the heart of our retreat, we also believe in the importance of rest, play, and pleasure.
Take time to indulge in relaxation, sunbathe on the beach, swim in the crystal-clear waters, and pamper yourself with rejuvenating Ayurvedic massages and treatments.
We encourage you to find balance, joy, and nourishment in every aspect of your experience.
