Bhakti Kutir
- Goa, India
- Activities › Yoga
Bhakti Kutir, set back in the forest at the southern tip of Palolem beach, is a jungle hut that offers daily drop-in yoga classes, as well as longer residential courses, but it’s just a single yogic drop in the area’s ever-changing alternative therapy ocean. Keep your eyes peeled for posters and flyers advertising new classes.

Ferry to Betim
If you’re in the mood for something less slick than a full-blown cruise, hop aboard the overloaded ferry across the Mandovi to Betim, shoulder to shoulder with scores of bustling locals. Though there’s nothing much to do when you get there except to turn around and head back again, it’s worth it for the riverine view of Panaji and the workaday atmosphere.

Brahmani Centre
Brahmani Centre is a friendly drop-in centre, which opens its doors from November to April, and offers daily classes in ashtanga, vinyasa, hatha, dynamic, kundalini, restorative and, intriguingly ‘superhero acro-flow’ yoga, as well as pranayama meditation. There’s no need to book: just turn up 15 minutes before the beginning of class, to secure space enough to spread your yoga mat.
