Yoga practice at Anahata Retreat, Ashwem Beach
Home › Wellness
The Heart of It

Yoga & healing, at the centre.

Not an add-on, but the reason we exist. Holistic practice by the beachfront — ancient forms meeting modern therapies — guided by teachers who meet you exactly where you are. Daily yoga is complimentary for in-house guests.

Hatha

Slow, grounding, precise. Held poses and real attention to alignment — the practice we'd start anyone on, and the one experienced practitioners quietly come back to.

Taught by Maya, who has led this class almost every morning since 2016.

Hatha yoga at Anahata
Vinyasa flow
Daily · 12:00 · 60 min

Vinyasa

Warmer, faster, breath-led. Not a workout — but you will sweat, and you'll sleep well for it.

Good for

Some experiencePost-surfBuilding heat

Taught by Tomás. Gentler than his ice baths.

Yin & Restorative

Long holds, bolsters, blankets, near-silence. Five minutes in a pose is a long time. That's the point.

Good for

EveryoneDeep tensionRacing mindLast day

People cry in this class sometimes. It's completely normal and nobody minds.

Private Sessions

One-to-one, built around whatever you actually need — an injury, a plateau, a first ever class, or just the wish not to be looked at.

  • Any teacher, any style
  • Your room's deck, the shala, or the sand
  • Same day, if someone's free

Pranayama

Before the light, before the first class. Nadi shodhana, kapalabhati, and long slow ujjayi — the quiet engine underneath everything else here.

Free, every morning, no booking. Just turn up. Nobody will mind if you fall back asleep.

Guided Meditation

Guided, not silent — Devin talks you through it, which is considerably easier than being left alone with yourself on day one.

Wed & Sun · 19:30 · 60 min

Sound Bath

Bowls, gongs and chimes under the palms after dark. You lie down, you're covered with a blanket, and an hour disappears.

The most-requested thing we do. Twenty mats — come a little early on a Sunday.

Sound bath
Yoga nidra
Sat · 15:00 · 45 min

Yoga Nidra

Yogic sleep. You lie still and are talked into the doorway between waking and sleeping. Forty-five minutes that feels like three hours of rest.

Bodywork & Ayurveda

Our therapists are from Ashwem and Mandrem. They work by feel, not by the clock.

The people who hold this place.

Most have been here for years. That's not an accident — it's the whole point.

A day, gently shaped

Nothing you must attend — only a rhythm you can lean into, or let pass by.
