Transform Your Yoga Practice
in Goa’s Most Intimate Setting
Yoga teacher trainings and holidays designed for personal growth.
Surrounded by nature, you’ll receive personal guidance in an intimate
setting that helps you deepen your practice at your own pace.
Your Practice. Your Pace. Your Journey.
You wake before sunrise to birdsongs. By 7am, you’re on your mat in an open-air shala. Palm trees swaying overhead, as your teacher adjusts your alignment with a gentle touch. For the first time in months, you’re fully present.
Whether you’re here to become a certified yoga teacher or deepen your personal practice, you’ll be guided by teachers who’ve led over 100 trainings across twelve years. They know your name by day two and understand your body by week one. Your fellow students become your new yoga family, and the daily rhythm of practice, meals, and beach walks becomes a meditation in itself.
Or perhaps you’re simply ready for a yoga holiday. Time away to practice at your own rhythm without the commitment of certification. You’ll still experience the same authentic setting, the same caring teachers, and the same peaceful community. Just you, your mat, and permission to simply be.

Why South Goa Changes Everything
South Goa is different from the busy beaches up north. Here in Patnem, there are no all-night parties competing with your morning practice. Instead, you will find more nature and a pace of life that’s genuinely relaxed.
After your late afternoon practice, you walk eight minutes to the beach. Watch the sunset over the Arabian Sea, cool off with a dip in the waves, then enjoy fresh Indian cuisine at one of the local beach shacks.
Our season runs October to May, when warm days and cool evenings create perfect conditions for intensive practice. Palm trees provide natural shade. A peaceful river runs through our property. In this setting, away from everything familiar, for many of our students, it’s the moment they finally gave themselves permission to choose growth over comfort.
Intimate Groups
Small, supportive groups where you’re truly seen, guided personally, and connected with teachers and peers.
Close to the Ocean
Peaceful setting near the sea, surrounded by palms and fresh air. A place to slow down and breathe.
Authentic India
Simple, traditional Goa life where yoga, culture, and community come together in a genuine way.
If you are looking for relaxation and tranquillity, and want to practice yoga, this is the place. It’s a beautiful quiet place, under palm trees. Living quite simply in small huts, delicious fresh breakfast. Thank you Julia and George for letting me be a part of this beautiful place.

Yoga Holidays & Retreats
That’s perfectly okay. Not everyone who comes to Palm Trees wants to teach, and that’s exactly as it should be.
Our Yoga Holidays offer the same intimate setting, the same experienced teachers, and the same beautiful location as our trainings, but without the intensity of certification. Practice twice daily if you want. Once if that’s enough. Take a day off to explore Goa’s hidden temples or simply read in a hammock under the palms.
You’ll have space to move at your own rhythm. Guidance when you want it. And a small community of fellow travellers who understand exactly why you’re here.

Your Journey Begins with a Single Question
“Is this the right place for me?” Only you can answer that.
We’re not for everyone. We’re for yogis who want more than a certificate on the wall. For people who value genuine learning, real connection, and the kind of community where you can be completely yourself. For those who crave peaceful mornings, challenging practice, and evenings spent watching the sunset with people who understand exactly why you’re here.
