Goa & Dharamshala

Yoga Retreats in India — Goa & Dharamshala

Shorter, focused programs for anyone who wants the reset of a yoga teacher training without committing to a full certification — from 5-day courses and a six-day, 50 hour intensive to a 9-day alignment intensive, at Arambol Beach or in the Himalayan village of Bhagsu.

Two Campuses, One School

A shorter path to the same practice

From the sun-kissed shores of Arambol Beach to the pine-forested slopes of Bhagsu in the Himalayas, our retreats are led by the same Yoga Alliance certified teachers who run our 100, 200 and 300 hour trainings. Each program blends daily asana practice, pranayama, guided meditation and traditional vegetarian meals in a small group — no teaching certificate required, just a week or two to reset.

What retreat guests say

It was all I needed: two different kinds of asana practices that complemented each other, plus pranayama and yoga theory. It was all really well explained! Moreover, I felt at home!

I took the 8-day alignment with Alpesh, which was an amazing experience. As a beginner, the course was challenging, and I learned so much about the practice of yoga. I had been in a 30-day retreat prior to this course, and I learned much more here in 8 days with Alpesh than in the entirety of the 30 days.

If you really want to learn how to do all the asanas properly, enjoy all the benefits of each one, and then teach asanas properly to your students, this is your place. I took the 9-day intensive alignment course and then continued going for drop-in. I can see how my practice has improved.

I recently completed a yoga program at Alpesh Yoga School, and I am genuinely impressed with the transformative experience it provided. Alpesh is knowledgeable, patient, and creates a welcoming atmosphere for practitioners of all levels.

“Yoga from the heart.” Travelled from Denmark specifically for a 10-day retreat: “developed me more in 10 days than any other yoga teacher… definitely the best yoga instructor in Dharamsala.”

FAQ

Not sure which retreat is right for you?

  • If you want a full reset with meals and stay included, the 50-Hour, 6-day intensive is the most complete option — and the most demanding, at roughly eight guided hours a day. If you are drawn to one subject, the 5 Day Yoga & Meditation Immersion and the 5 Day Alignment Yoga Course both go deep into a single practice in less time. With more time in Goa, the 9 Day Alignment Yoga Intensive takes the same alignment method further. Both alignment courses run in Goa only, on fixed batch dates from November to March.

  • The 5 Day Yoga & Meditation Immersion includes a certificate of completion from our Yoga Alliance registered school, but none of these programs are Yoga Alliance-registered teacher trainings on their own. If you want a teaching credential, our 100, 200 or 300 hour courses are the right path — many students start with a retreat and continue into a full training later.
