GOA, INDIA RETREAT
Restore & Renew: A Transformational New Year Retreat in Goa
Ashiyana | 28th December 2025 – 4th January 2026
Imagine ending the year with your feet in the sand, your heart open, and your intentions clear. This is more than a retreat—it’s a chance to restore your energy, renew your perspective, and move forward with intention. An opportunity to honour your growth, reconnect with your inner wisdom and plant powerful seeds for the year ahead.

As a casual runner, I never realized the impact breathwork and the Oxygen Advantage technique could have on my performance. Since incorporating these practices, my runs have reached a whole new level. I can now sustain a steady pace for longer distances, thanks to improved endurance. The guided exercises have become an essential part of my warm-up routine, helping me optimize my breathing from the very start. I've noticed a significant reduction in fatigue and post-run recovery time. Breathwork has truly transformed my running experience, and I can't wait to see where it takes me next!Ben, Brighton
I cannot express how grateful I am for discovering breathwork as a tool to navigate through the challenges of menopause. The hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances were taking a toll on my quality of life. Incorporating breathwork into my daily routine has been nothing short of transformative. The guided exercises provided me with a sense of control and calmness, helping me manage the intensity of my symptoms. Not only did it alleviate my physical discomfort, but it also brought a sense of mental clarity and emotional balance. I wholeheartedly recommend breathwork to any woman going through this significant life transition. It truly has been a breath of relief during menopause.Sara, Brighton
I was feeling all over the place with anxiety, forgetfulness, intense hot flushes, sweating, and exhaustion. It was like my emotions were on a rollercoaster and I didn't recognize myself. Finding breathwork has been amazing as it helps me: Feel Calm and Stable: The breathing exercises are my new go-to for feeling grounded and peaceful. Gentler Hot Flushes: Breathing slowly and softly has made these waves of heat more bearable. Anxiety Relief: I love my extended exhale breathing exercises to calm me quickly. Better Sleep: I love the breathing exercises and meditation before sleep, I fall asleep a lot quicker and feel like I have rested when I wake up. Self-Empowered: I've learned how to help myself feel better and it feels amazing. Breathwork has been a lifeline, giving me tools for relief and confidence. Highly recommend it! Abby, London
