“LET GOA” Yoga Retreat

LET GOA

Let go. Move. Breathe. Reset.

“LET GOA” is a 6-night, 7-day immersive yoga retreat in Goa, hosted by Iona Dudley at Nalanda Retreat in Mandrem Beach.

Now in its fourth year at Nalanda, Iona brings together 13 years of yoga teaching and practice across India and the UK for a week centred around movement, restoration and letting go.

The intention is simple: to release what no longer serves your physical and mental wellbeing and create space for the best version of yourself in 2027.

A Balance of Yang & Yin

The retreat brings together dynamic and grounding yoga practices to create a balanced experience.

Expect energising Vinyasa Release Flow, strong Ashtanga practice, Healing Hatha and restorative Yin Yoga.

The dynamic sessions build energy, strength and awareness, while the restorative practices offer space to relax, unwind and recover.

Two Practices Every Day

Each retreat day includes two 90-minute yoga sessions.

Mornings begin with an energising Ashtanga or Vinyasa practice, setting the tone for the day.

Afternoons move into Healing Hatha, Yin and meditation, allowing the body and mind to slow down.

Alongside the daily classes, two extended workshops explore advanced asanas, including arm balances, handstands and splits.

Breath, Meditation & Restoration

The retreat goes beyond asana.

Breathwork and meditation sessions are woven into the programme to support relaxation, awareness and deeper connection with the practice.

The combination of dynamic movement, restorative yoga, breath and stillness creates a week that balances effort with recovery.

The Setting

Several yoga shalas host the daily practices, while the beachfront restaurant provides nutritious meals. Guests can also enjoy two pools, coastal surroundings and Rajasthan-inspired rooms designed for rest and rejuvenation.

Yoga & Live DJ

To close the retreat, Iona will host a special Yoga & Live DJ experience with her DJ partner.

Music is often part of Iona's classes, and this closing session brings together movement, music and celebration as the final experience of the week.

Let Go. Come Back to Yourself.

“LET GOA” is an invitation to step away from routine, move your body, challenge your practice and make space for rest.

A week of dynamic yoga, restorative practice, meditation, good food, beach time and connection, all designed to help you let go and return feeling renewed.
