Beach Cottages at Ashwem is located south to Arambol.  The long coastline of Ashwem has many palm groves which provide a green canopy all along the shore. Our beach is far less crowded than the other beaches in Goa, it is a great place to hangout! 

This venue is lovely and has everything you would want. Hidden in a private palm grove, close to the beach, are ten extremely comfortable wooden beach cottages, decorated with antique furniture. Each has air conditioning, western style en-suite, sea views and a  balcony or terrace.

The beach is 2 minutes walk along a stone pathway through the private palm grove. 

This small resort has been carefully planned and is quiet and environmentally friendly.

Tara Johnson Tara is registered with Yoga Alliance UK as a Senior Yoga Teacher (SYT), and has been teaching and practicing yoga for over 12 years.

Tara comes from a background of the creative arts and now brings her creativity to her yoga classes resulting in a dynamic, inspiring and spiritual practice. She trained with Louisa Sear and Lance Schuler in Bali and Australia and has also studied with great international teachers including Sri K Pattabhi Jois, V Sheshadri, Gabriella Pascoli, Dena Kingsberg and Shiva Rea.

Tara also has qualifications in holistic massage, Indian head massage, anatomy and physiology. Most recently she has been furthering her study/sadhana in meditation and Pranayama under the guidance of Swami Saradananda and continues to evolve her practice and teaching skills with regular trips to India, the homeland of yoga.

A warm, open minded and compassionate teacher, she teaches from the heart drawing from her own experience and believes yoga to be a constant discipline for healing, growth and transformation.

Tara’s classes are inspired from various Yoga disciplines including the alignment of Iyengar yoga with the flow of Astanga Vinyasa and an awareness of moving beyond the Asana.

She emphasises the union of breathe and movement to encourage the individual to work to one’s “own edge”, moving beyond limitations of body and mind, discovering freedom and stillness within. Her classes may include Pranayama, Meditation and sometimes music to further aid the healing process.

The Yoga
There will be two Classes a day, except Wednesday and Saturday. The morning session will begin with some breathing exercises and build into a dynamic Vinyasa flow practice. The afternoon session will explore restorative yoga, Pranayama, preparation and tools for developing a meditation practice and elements of yoga philosophy.

Classes combine the alignment of Iyengar yoga with the flow of Astanga Vinyasa, emphasising the union of breathe and movement. Pranayama and Meditation techniques are also incorporated. Tara will lead you to flow and let go of your limitations by encouraging the individual to work to ones own “edge” to strengthen and detoxify. The class will be tailored to suit all levels.
