Yoga and meditation was the theme of this yoga trip. As it was winter in India, starting off south made sense to take advantage of the warm, sunny weather. Also, Southern India is less of a culture shock than Northern India. This was especially evident by the yoga teachers and participants who were mostly European or Australian.
The lush vegetation was soothing as I walked from my room to a yoga class.
An easy stroll through the village towards Mandrem Beach, reminding me that I am in India.
Goa, located on the western coast of the Arabian Sea, proved to be a perfect place to limber up my body as I practiced different types of yoga with different teachers and prepared for the trip ahead.

Goa is wonderful. I only got to see the northern part of Goa. India is so large that it is difficult to take it all in in such short time. Glad you had a wonderful time in Goa, June. ❤

Moving like a snail is a good idea. We tend to rush around too much wanting to get as much as we can in and forgetting to notice our sourroundings or to be mindful or grateful. Thanks for your comment, Jill. ❤

Darlene, you should get your friends to invite you to Goa (when one can fly again). I think Amanda would love it there!

Goa’s beaches all seem characteristically vast and wide from what I see in other people’s photographs – lovely for long walks 🤗
