Niramaya Yoga
Yoga, Ayurveda and a gentler pace
A ten-minute walk from Benaulim’s quieter stretch of beach, Niramaya Yoga brings classical Hatha and therapeutic yoga into a broader program of Ayurvedic care. Guests can pair practice with personalized Ayurvedic consultations and marma therapies, while vegetarian and vegan Indian meals provide a steady rhythm of breakfast, lunch and dinner. The small guesthouse has six rooms, each with a private bathroom, plus a separate bungalow in a palm garden. Rooms are set up for either double or twin sharing, with private options also available. The feel is restorative rather than resort-like: a place to focus on movement, meditation and everyday wellbeing, with the beach close by for a change of pace. Teachers Subit, Dorothea and Swapna guide the center’s work. Retreat rates start at EUR799; contact Niramaya Yoga to confirm dates and what your stay includes.

The practice
The center draws on classical Hatha yoga, a tradition that uses physical postures and mindful movement to build steadiness and awareness.

Beginners can ask the teachers which sessions and retreat format suit their experience and needs.
