Saturday is community day off and kitchen is closed. Great opportunity to explore the amazing food around

New - Location ( from March 2022)

Set in the cooling shades of lush greenery, Earth Yoga Village is within a 5 - 7 minute walk to  South Goa's most beautiful beaches of Patnem & Palolem. You will find our village to be extremely central and conveniently located by the road in the area of Colomb in between the mentioned beaches. South Goa in known for its blissful vibes, laid back people and beautiful nature. Most of the beaches are largely unspoiled and are inhabited by both local fishermen and  foreign tourists who live in shacks along the shore or in the main village itself.

 

The location offers an ideal place to explore the stunning beaches, beautiful local villages and surrounding nature outside of your retreat schedule.

Its newly built at new location and may not resemble the pictures posted on Social media before March 2022 .

Friendly Neighbours of All Shapes and Sizes
As we are located in tropical climate surrounded by nature, we do have some friendly neighbours visit  in the village from time to time:  lizards, frogs, critters, crows and many other friendly sentient beings.  

This means we like to take extra precautions including replacing the covers on the food if you are the last person in the queue, not taking in or storing any food in the huts, including wrapped/sealed snacks etc, and practicing ahimsa (non-violence) towards all other living beings.

​

We respect the surrounding nature and all the additional occasional guests that come in or near the village :)

For our social media we do take a few photos and videos around the village from time to time. We have a network community and like to keep them updated with what is going on.  If you don't feel comfortable being in our photos, please find a spot where you can’t be seen in them as well as let us know so we take extra measure towards that.
