Sacred – Sojourn – Serenity

A Journey where Yoga,
Culture and Coastal Beauty unite.

Join Jill and Dani on a journey through Western India — from the vibrant rhythm of Mumbai to the serene coastal haven of Gokarna and the sun-soaked charm of Goa.

We begin in Mumbai, India’s cosmopolitan heart, where colonial heritage meets contemporary energy. Meander through art-filled streets, bustling spice markets and colonial-era landmarks. Experience the famous efficiency of Mumbai’s Dabbawallas, a living symbol of tradition thriving in a modern metropolis. Exploring iconic landmarks such as the Gateway of India and the vibrant Kala Ghoda Art District, where history, art, and contemporary culture converge followed by a special welcome lunch.

We continue south along the coast to the tranquil coastal haven of Gokarna. Our next 5-nights are spent nestled in nature at a serene eco-resort set amongst 26-acres on Om Beach, with an immersive yoga, meditation and mindfulness retreat, curated and led by Jill and Dani. Offering space for reflection, movement and inner stillness in the tranquil shala and held within the healing rhythm of coastal life. The rest of the day invites you to explore the resorts complimentary yoga, pranayama and meditation sessions. This is a sacred space for connection, self-care and spiritual nourishment.

Our journey continues to Goa, where Portuguese heritage and coastal beauty invite relaxation and wonder. We discover Old Goa’s colonial charm on a guided heritage walk, exploring grand cathedrals and wander the art-filled lanes of the Latin Quarter of Fontainhas. Enjoy time to unwind by the pool, stroll the local beach or explore Goa at your own pace. For our final evening, we come together to celebrate our journey with a memorable Farewell Dinner.

Our journey culminates enjoying a leisurely breakfast together and a relaxed morning to enjoy the tranquil surrounds of our hotel, before our international flight home.
