Yoga is one of the most essential meditational practices followed by most people nationally and internationally. Yoga's origins can be traced back over 5,000 years. It began as sacred teachings of Northern India's Indus-Sarasvati culture. Yoga was introduced to the rest of the globe in the early 1900s, and it is currently one of the most popular activities for freeing your mind and relaxing.
Little Cove Yoga Holiday Retreat, set amid a palm grove on quiet Cola (not to be confused with Colva) beach near Agonda beach, is one of the most popular spots for a yoga vacation in South Goa.
