Taking a break from his start-up he started to travel across the country with the intention to experience whatever was on offer, many times it was unconscious with just a need for moving. Being close to Nature and varying landscapes along with the practice of Yoga were the source of building awareness of existence. It was enough to give the feeling of contentment temporarily. These travels instigated an exploration of the scriptures, primarily the Upanishads. Also, he was drawn into a childhood interest of writing the experiences in the form of narratives. Read more

I stayed at this lovely place for 11 days. The accommodation is one of the best places I have ever been. A green calm island in Goa, perfect for doing yoga and meditation.

I had an amazing experience with Oceanic Yoga in Goa. I stayed for a 7-day retreat and joined daily yoga classes, healing sessions, meditation and breathwork. The place is really nice! It feels like you are far away from the world in your own bubble. Somewhere in the jungle with a great view on the ocean. The swimming pool, the accommodation, the food, I really liked it!

Attended Oceanic for my 200 YTTC in dec 2022 and has been an amazing experience. Everything from the hospitality, teaching, shala, room stay, food, understanding and patience of teachers, it was wonderful. There is a large sense of peace and intention from the staff, you sense the energy of the place. The room are very spacious with beautiful view of the sea and jungle. The food is so tasty and accommodating to the yogic lifestyle. The schedule of classes really expanded my knowledge of yoga from the physical, the anatomy, philosophical and the actual practice of it in every way of life. Gii and satyam was helpful in helping with anything we needed on and off the campus from taxi, buying gifts, coordinating a surprise bday for a fellow classmate. I met some great people that I will always remember. Highly recommended!

When I decided to go to India for my first YTT (Yoga Teacher Training) I was really confused. Which school would be the right for me? Shall I go to Kerala, Rishikesh or Goa? The offer is huge. In the end I followed the recommendation of good friend of mine, who was living in India for almost two years. And I am glad, that I've got my training with Oceanic Team.

I was searching for something more than, what I can get in Europe. I was searching for authenticity (as usual in my life :)). All of our Indian teachers live the/with the Yoga from early childhood and they are really devoted to the essence of it. Our European teacher brought nice balance in our Training, her knowledge about Western "Yoga business" and the needs of our future students was really helpful!!!

In really short time we grew together in kind of harmonious Yoga family. But please, don't expect, that you'll be on holiday here. The guys take the thing serious and will push the best from you, with smile and kindness of course.

WiFi: super strong
Washing machine: available
Area: Super clean
Friendly stuff
Location: Quiet place in the jungle, but still 15 minutes walking distance to the sea

And yeah, the food was divine! The guys in the kitchen put the level really high, after that the food in the restaurants in the area was never good enough. 😀

It was my first trip in India and also the first time I was attending this type of retreat( which I decided to change it into RYT 100 certification) When I started searching for the retreat I wanted to find a place where I can feel safe while traveling alone, where I can relax and on the same time to learn new things about myself and what yoga and all this culture means. I found Oceanic yoga on the internet and I felt a good vibe from the first moment, I knew this is the place I would like to go. When I arrived here, it exceeded my expectations. In the middle of the nature, surrounded by trees and birds singing the whole day, and facing the ocean, it makes you relaxed straight away. I really love the family vibe I found here. From the managers to the people that work here, teachers and students, it felt like a big family living in the same place. They really took care of all our needs and requests, the food was so delicious, I never thought that it exists such a great variety of vegetarian dishes that can be cooked. The rooms are spacious, sparkling clean, with ac, and a beautiful terrace. The pool area has an amazing view of the ocean, really relaxing during the afternoon or after a long day. I learned a lot, not only on the physical aspect of yoga, but also on the spiritual side of it. The teachers are really friendly and with good knowledge and patience to make you understand the correct way of doing the poses, and also all the other aspects that make yoga such a beautiful lifestyle. It was one of the most powerful experiences I had the opportunity to live and I believe everyone, at a certain point in life or whenever they feel ready, should consider attending it. It's not only about learning new things it's about discovering who you really are. I would definitely come back. Thank you for making my experience so beautiful ❤️
