Immersive Emotional Healing Retreat in Goa, India for Mind, Body & Spirit

Transform your life at our healing retreat centre in Goa, India

10 Ways to Get Started with Yoga Teacher Training in India

Theme of The Program

Mindfulness and emotional balance are a tightrope walk, and once we master the nature of emotions and the impact of emotions in our daily lives, we can say to some extent that we are emotionally balanced. The holistic healing methods using somatic yoga and somatic movements, along with methods to release emotions caught up in the body, are needed to bring holistic health to an individual.

This emotional wellness retreat yoga uses various techniques: breathing, body movements, expressive arts, psychotherapeutic techniques, and meditations. This course for emotional wellness in our emotional healing program in Goa is very meticulously structured with a very deep understanding of the functioning of the mind and mind patterns by people with mystical backgrounds and past life preparations to handhold souls getting connected with oceanic yoga for their healing journey.

In this course you will go through multiple techniques which are designed for healing your emotions

Healing methods using singing bowls, specific yoga sequences for chakra healing, conscious breathwork for releasing the emotions, and special meditations with breath, sound, and movements. 

All emotions are energies, and if energies are not used in a creative way, they disturb some part of the body and mind. Energies have to be used, and if energies are not used, they will create blockages in you. These blocks will turn into diseases of the mind and diseases of the body. Body and mind must be used like “body-mind.”

An anger inside me not expressed becomes a blockage; love inside you, when not expressed, will create blockages in you. Similarly, the case with fear. If there is fear inside you and you are not able to show and accept it, it can become a blockage.

All emotional states create energies, and these energies need to be released.

The work here is how can we do that in a non-disturbing way to the people around us, not creating negativity around our life situations and people around us.

Energies can be released in two ways.
                                                        1. Via Negative ways
                                                        2. Via Creative ways

For example, someone is angry, so the negative way for this person would be to go and throw some stones at someone else, beat someone up with a stick, or verbally attack him. This way is negative because his energy is used up, but he does not benefit from it. The only fruits he will harvest will be when the person he has attacked verbally retaliates with double the force. The person at whom he threw stones will also get angry. He is just like the first person: he will also use a negative mode to express his anger. He will also pick up a stick. And this becomes an endless loop.
Most of us are caught up in this endless loop.

“We are all ruined children – the only difference is that we are adults. Otherwise we are all ruined children: right from our childhood everything has gone wrong, and then all our lives we go on doing these wrong things.”

The work we do here is “How to come out of this loop? How not to repeat the same negative ways?

Anger will stop only if you use it in a positive way, in a creative way

“A person who hates will receive hate in return. A person who shows anger receives anger. A person who has evil thoughts will receive the same in return.” There is no end to it, and in the end energy will only be wasted.

A block in the energy reflects an inner complexity – something happens inside, but you show something else outside. Then where will the energy that is not released go? It will become an energy block.

It is just like in a river when part of the water starts to freeze and pieces of ice float in the river. As the pieces become bigger and bigger, the flow of the river is obstructed more and more. If all the water freezes, the river will stop flowing altogether. So you are like a river that has blocks of ice floating in it. It is necessary to melt this ice.
                              It has been proven that meditation is the best way to heal yourself and others. It will have a very big positive impact on people who are suffering from stress, anxiety, depression, psychosomatic disorders, and insomnia. It also enhances the endocrine system and hormonal status, cognition, and brain functioning.

The course consists of guided energy meditations, practice, lectures, explanations, discussions, and Q&A sessions. This retreat can help to retain the meditative stage throughout your daily life and keep you sharp, balanced, joyful, and serene, plus continue to enhance and grow your being. Emotional resilience workshops in our Goa wellness teacher training are based on integrative healing practices with heart-centered healings and trainings.

Some Meditations you may practice during the Stay

“To learn Meditation, you don’t need to be anything else other then what you already are”

Some of the meditations that you will learn as a personal enhancement, you will be able to teach. Different Techniques may also be added 

  • Breath Works : Breathing patterns to release stored emotions.
  • Dhyan Nidra – Yog(a) Nidra. A powerful method of guiding others to the very inner core of the being, settling there, relaxing, and settling into deep conscious healing sleep. Yoga nidr’a, variously meaning ‘yogic slee’p, ‘psychic sleep,’ or ‘sleeping consciously, is a meditative procedure whose goal is to transform the mind and body. The name ‘yoga nidra’ derives from two Sanskrit words: ‘yoga,’ which means union, and ‘nidra,’ which means sleep. In other words, yoga nidra can take you to a state between sleep and samadhi.
    This method also helps in subtly releasing the emotional blocks, traumas, and insomnia, and of course, it takes away much of the stress accumulated inside.
  • Kundalini Awakening Meditation: A method of gathering and uplifting your energies.
  • Chakra Breathing and Breathwork : A shaking and vibration meditation to release the fears, traumas, emotional holdings, psychological patterns, and characteristic holdings to feel lighter, easier, and more flowing.
  • Chakra Journey & Chakra Healing Meditation: Working on all the chakras to heal and allow the energy passage to be free.
  • Chakra healing and activation sound healing sessions are part of your emotional healing journey with us.

Philosophical Outlook

Energy in the original stateless form is the driving force of this universe. In Indian Vedic concepts there are three forms (Tri Gunas-Qualities) of energies. The Energy of Creation (Brahma/Satva), the Energy of Sustaining (Vishnu/Rajas), and the Energy of Transformation (Shiva/Tamas). In this course you will get to understand these forms of energies and learn various kinds of powerful, life-transforming meditations that will not only take you towards yourself but also shift and uplift your conscious level from the current chained state that holds you down and does not allow your wings to spread far and wide.

The course is progressive. That means first you learn the basic steps and then progress to higher forms of the techniques. This allows you to climb the steps of conscious development and gather the illumination within yourself that is ready then to enlighten others. Basically, you learn not only to light your own candle but also to inflame other candles by your own flame.

 

When awareness is separate and distinct from mental activity,
when waking, dreams and deep sleep pass like clouds.
yet awareness of Self remains.
this is the experience of total relaxation…
That is why, in tantra, yoga nidra is said to be the doorway to Samadhi.”

 – Swami Satyananda Saraswati –

“In yoga nidra we experience a state of harmony between body, brain, and mind. Then the unconscious barriers and blockages within the personality, which exist due to our negativity, are removed, and the healing power of the mind begins to manifest.”
– Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati

Now, the world is going through a critical time where intense vibrations seem to overwhelm our potential inner calm.

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. The teachers were excellent and the food was delicious. The team was looking after all guests and their desires, so thx for your service! I will definitely recommend this yoga place for everyone!

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 strongWashing machine: availableArea: Super cleanFriendly stuffLocation: Quiet place in the jungle, but still 15 minutes walking distance to the seaAnd 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 ❤️
