Goa, India — Study Program

Join Alan Goode in Goa for two connected five-day residential study retreats. The program offers an intensive and progressive period of practice, study and experiential learning, bringing together asana, pranayama and selected themes of yoga philosophy. Participants may attend either retreat individually, or both as a continuous ten-day period of study.
Retreat 1: 11–15 January 2027

The retreats are designed for different levels of engagement, from students seeking an intensive period of practice to those undertaking more structured study and teacher-development pathways.

The retreats will be held at the Kripa Foundation centre in Anjuna, Goa, with a fully equipped Iyengar Yoga studio, peaceful surroundings, nourishing meals and optional on-site accommodation.

Venue
Kripa Foundation, Goa
The Kripa Foundation centre in Anjuna, Goa, offers a unique environment in which the practical and contemplative aspects of yoga can be experienced within a setting shaped by both history and purpose. Located along the Anjuna–Vagator Road, the centre is anchored by the historic Casa Albuquerque, a traditional Goan residence that reflects the region’s Portuguese heritage and long cultural lineag . Alongside this, a newly constructed Yoga Sanctuary and hall has been developed, providing a fully equipped space for Iyengar Yoga practice, with all necessary props and a design that supports this contemplative practice.
Accommodation is excellent, with single rooms and twin share featuring ensuite bathrooms in the newer buildings, allowing participants privacy and ease during extended stays. The centre is known for its excellent, nourishing food, with meals prepared to support both health and practice, offering vegetarian and other dietary options within a communal setting.
Set within walking distance of Anjuna Beach, part of Goa’s long coastal stretch along the Arabian Sea, the environment offers both natural beauty and a sense of openness. In January, the weather is particularly favourable, with warm days, cooler evenings, and almost uninterrupted sunshine, creating ideal conditions for practice and reflection.
