Formerly The Purple Valley Drop-In Center

05 November 2007 - 26 April 2008

Please note we will run a modified schedule for the month of April.

The Brahmani Yoga Centre offers up to 5 classes daily (mon-sat) in Ashtanga, Vinyasa Flow, Hatha (Scaravelli based), Pranayama & Meditation, Restorative Yoga as well as running teacher training programmes.

We are located on the grounds of the Hotel Bougainvillea (Sometimes called "Grandpa's Inn) in Anjuna, Goa, India. See travel page for directions. Once you are in India you can contact us by phone at: 93 7056 8639 (add +91 outside of India)

Our aim is to provide a high standard of teaching in a facility that is friendly and non-competitive. We believe that all forms of yoga are equally important and that all yoga should be accessible to everyone regardless of experience, ability or age.

Although we do not have our own accommodation for yoga students, These Package deals are ideal for people who are not familiar with India...We do offer package deals of accommodation at local guest houses, unlimited yoga and airport transfers. These Package deals are ideal for people who are not familiar with India or who do not want the hassle of booking accommodation and arranging airport transfers, and who want to do as much yoga as they can while they are in Goa.

Please note: We ask that you tell the teacher if you have any particular pre-existing injury or illness that is relevant. If you are finding the class too difficult please let the assistant know and stop if you are feeling any pain or illness. Brahmani Yoga accepts no responsibility for any injury or illness during or after class, and every student is ultimately responsible for themselves.
