Explore Yoga in all its facets with Paola Deprez and Adrian Wirth from Oshadi Yoga while enjoying magic nature, the ocean and the jungle at the beautiful Cabo Serai Nature Eco-Resort in South Goa, India.
The length of this retreat will allow you to gain depth through practicing long enough, while having plenty of free time to relax at the beach or at the pool, go for excursions or do your own practice.
Paola and Adrian will offer two formal practice sessions a day, combining Chi Gong, mindful Vinyasa practice (Asana), Yoga Nidra, Meditation and Mantra chanting, plus relaxed evenings together with some chanting, watching the stars or sitting around a fire.
They will also offer sessions with Cacao and Harmel to explore the inner landscape of your being on a deeper level, open your heart and bring connection to Nature.
An Ayurvedic healing space with treatments will also be available at Cabo Serai.
The practice sessions will be taught in English.
The teachers
Paola Deprez and Adrian Wirth founded Oshadi Yoga in Zurich, Switzerland in 2008, and have been holding space for healing and transformation since then through their classes, workshops and retreats. They were both originally scientists that were not satisfied with the answers given by the one-sided materialistic worldview, and stepped independently into other ways of seeing the world and expanding consciousness. And this is where they met.
Adrian is Swiss and studied Environmental Sciences at the ETH. His unending curiosity lead him to explore the inner worlds with teacher plants and eventually led him to Yoga and Meditation, which became his calling. He is also involved in building spaces for this transformative circles, like yurts and a little Seminarhaus in the Unterengadin (Spiert Avert). Since many years he is also involved with a modern Bhakti Yoga approach with chanting to the Divine in Kirtans (Shakti Shuttlez).
Paola was born in Chile where she obtained her PhD in Molecular Biology, and moved to Switzerland for her post-doc and later to work as a researcher at the ETH. After a severe burnout and existential crisis, she found healing and meaning in the Yoga path, through Tai Chi, Yoga asana, Meditation and shamanic practices, and more recently through committing to her old love for Spiritual and Psycological Astrology.
Through their different formats, from ‘normal’ Yogasana classes to deep journeys into altered states of consciousness with different techniques and rituals, together they hold a solid healing space for the circle, with a good sense for helpful settings, humour and love.
The Retreat Center
Cabo Serai is an eco luxury nature retreat located on a quiet hill by the Arabian Sea and hidden in the flourishing forests of South Goa. During our retreat we will have the whole Eco resort for ourselves - ca 7 ha of lush native forest.
Built on the grounds of sustainability, the resort offers 8 luxury cottages and 3 luxury tents. All are spacious, with a big terrace, and sea facing while being nestled in the privacy of the forest.
The two yoga shala's are located in a coconut grove by the white sands of Cabo de Rama beach and on a hilltop, both with breathtaking views of the sea. The retreat group will have the whole Eco Resort (approx. 7 ha of lush native forest) for themselves!
