Join us for a 90-minute traditional hatha yoga class hosted by 𝗠 𝗔 𝗡 𝗢 𝗝 ︱ 𝗬𝗼𝗴𝗮 ⋅ 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘀 • 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 • 𝗔𝘆𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗱𝗮 ⋅ at the beautiful Waking Dreams in Broadway Market 🌱 We love Manoj’s classes as he is such an experienced and knowledgeable teacher, so we can guarantee you will too!

Here is what he has in store for us -

In Hatha, asanas are held longer for us to explore sensations, drawing attention to alignment and using the breath to support us. We move slowly and deliberately in Hatha, that helps us move deeper into our experience building strength and flexibility, especially in the core.

The theme for the class will be around building up a practice of Suyra Aamakara (sun salutations) and inspired movement, to create a moving meditation, designed to harness the power of the sun 🔆

The class will draw upon aspects from yogic philosophy and have meditation, pranayama (breath), asana (postures), and mantra being infused across the whole practice.

We leave with a more relaxed and steady mind, openness in the body, and changes that we notice within. A perfect balance of the yogic repertoire.

📍 Waking Dreams, Broadway Market
📅 Sunday, 18th October
🕐 1 - 2.30 pm (90 minute class)
☕️ Space for tea & chats after class as always!

Staying at one of the greatest places on earth ❤️

Nicole Windle • Boutique Yoga Retreats has spent the better part of the last ten years living, teaching, and returning to Goa.

When it came to choosing someone to lead our first community journey outside of Africa, she was the obvious choice, not because she knows Goa as a tourist, but because she knows it as a second home.

Ahead of our Goa Retreat coming up in January 2027, I sat down with Nicole to learn more about Goa and why it’s so special.

Join us 10-17th January 2027 in South Goa for
〰️ Daily yoga
〰️ Sunrise dolphin boat trips
〰️ Goan cooking class
〰️ Breathwork
〰️ Cacao ceremony
〰️ Community

And the retreat lines up perfectly to finish with the reggae festival Goa Sunsplash ☀️
