Ashiyana Goa – Yoga Retreat Centre

About Ashiyana

Meaning “home” in Hindi, Ashiyana Goa is your healing haven and a true home away from home. Nestled in the serene landscapes of Goa, Ashiyana is a sanctuary where time slows down, the body finds ease, and the heart expands with joy. Guests come here to relax, heal, and reconnect with their inner essence, supported by a nurturing environment that blends yoga, holistic therapies, and mindful living.

Our signature offering, the BEST ME Journey, is a transformative program designed to help you discover what you truly want in life. Through structured guidance and compassionate support, we empower you to transcend challenges and embrace your most vibrant, authentic self.

Our Philosophy

At Ashiyana, we believe that when you deeply relax and nurture yourself, you reconnect with your inner “home.” From this calm and centered space, life’s challenges become easier to navigate, and joy arises naturally. Our retreats are designed to help you release tension, quiet the mind, and reawaken the spirit.

Founder’s Story

Chris Nelson, a well-being coach, author, and entrepreneur, founded Ashiyana after more than 15 years of experience in yoga and natural healthcare. While leading retreats worldwide, Chris envisioned a tropical sanctuary where people could feel safe, nourished, and supported. That vision became Ashiyana Goa—a space where healing, community, and transformation naturally unfold.

Sustainability & Giving Back

Sustainability is central to Ashiyana’s philosophy. From beach cleaning in Goa to protecting rivers in Brazil and reducing carbon footprint, Ashiyana actively works to protect the environment.

We also believe in giving back to the community. Through outreach programs and partnerships, Ashiyana supports local projects that provide education, healthcare, and relief for those in need. At the same time, we nurture our staff with fair opportunities, training, and career development, ensuring well-being for all.
