Goa

Goa has a huge yoga base; almost every nook and cranny has a yoga class or a yoga centre. But one of the best ones is the Purple Valley Yoga Retreat in Assagao. Set amidst landscaped, tropical gardens, the centre offers Ashtanga yoga classes, vegetarian meals and private double rooms. Even Ashiyana at Mandrem is a great choice. The accommodation options range from beach huts to luxury suites. Then there is Anahata Retreat at Ashvem Beach offering sea view suites, beach front and garden eco-cottages. Goa has an airport at Dabolim offering flights to all major cities in India.
