About Bamboo Yoga Retreat

Our first retreat at Bamboo was truly magical and we cannot wait to return in 2024. The new home of Bamboo is on the peaceful and unspoilt beach of Polem in Southern Goa.

Polem is a beautiful secluded beach with a long sweeping crescent of golden sand sheltered by rocky headlands. From the beach you can see a tiny island out to sea and reach other secluded beaches by boat or on foot.

The tranquil retreat is located on the beach close to a small village for the perfect authentic Goan experience and low key nights of music around the beach fire. The more lively areas for a night out are just a short drive away so you can experience all the vibrancy and colourful energy that Goa has to offer.

Retreat programme

Join Lisa for a yoga retreat at this very special place with two fully equipped, shaded yoga shalas overlooking the beach with breathtaking views and a sea breeze to keep you cool. An opportunity to dive deeply into your yoga practice in simple surroundings and restore your elemental balance.

Each day will begin with a morning class of meditation and flowing asana to gently open the body and attune the mind to the breath. The afternoon class will be more restorative and often include yin yoga, pranayama, meditation or yoga nidra.

Between classes there will be time to relax on the beach, swim in the sea or take a massage. There will be two yoga-free half days when you can head out and explore or take a boat trip in search of dolphins at sunrise or sunset, included as part of the retreat.

The elegant glass-fronted cabanas have beautiful natural views overlooking the beach or surrounding countryside and feature large well furnished bedrooms with roomy open-roofed ensuite bathrooms, A/C and ceiling fans, and spacious comfortable balconies with hammocks and seating to relax on.

The charming and comfortable seascape huts are located on the beach front with sea and sunset views, large comfortable bedrooms, modern ensuite bathrooms, A/C and ceiling fans, and balconies with hammocks.

A small number of front sunset huts and cabanas are available with direct ocean views.

Freshly squeezed juices, tropical fruit and teas will be offered from sunrise. Delicious Goan-inspired vegetarian brunch and dinner using locally sourced ingredients will be offered each day. On the last night there will be a special farewell beach dinner.

Client Reviews

Wow… the retreat was amazing…. Bamboo Yoga retreat is a great place. Such a great location and the huts are well furnished and spacious. The food is delicious.
Elaine
It was such a magical and fantastic week. The teaching was incredible; so well thought through and the way the sessions complimented each other gave the sense of being on a yoga journey, even though it was just a week. Lisa is an amazing teacher, compassionate, kind, flexible (in all senses of the words) and really got to know our individual strengths and differences. The group were delightful. I really do feel renewed.
Lucy
Returned refreshed, happy and recentred. The "beach huts" are luxurious, the setting like being stranded on a tropical island and the food of exceptional quality.
