Return To Balance
DATES: 21-28 February 2027
7 days / 6 nights — South Goa
Location: Khamma Kethna, Canacona (South Goa)

Group size: 10–15 participants
RETREAT OVERVIEW
Return to Balance is a 7-day immersive retreat designed to support sustainable health through yoga, Ayurveda, and restorative practices. This retreat is not about pushing, fixing, or transforming yourself into someone new. It is about learning how to listen, how to regulate your nervous system, and how to integrate simple, realistic practices into daily life.
Each day is structured to balance movement, education, rest, and integration, allowing participants to experience practices in their body while also understanding why they work and how to continue them at home.
Rather than offering constant stimulation, the retreat intentionally includes quiet spaces, low-stimulation windows, and rest periods, supporting deep regulation rather than exhaustion.
What Makes it Different
- Education, not just experience
You won’t only do yoga and Ayurveda — you’ll learn how to apply them in daily life. - Nervous-system literacy
Practices are chosen to support regulation, resilience, and long-term wellbeing. - No forced socialisation
Connection is welcomed, never required. - Silence and low-stimulation windows
Space is given for integration, reflection, and rest.
