Two things that have happened so far during my #escape2goa ... I fell so deeply in love with yoga while at @ashiyanayoga that I just wanted to stay and spend the rest of my trip there. And second, I've realized so much of travel depends on the people who you are with and this trip I'm with some AMAZING people. Like Erin of the blog @10milesbehindme. She's so zen that being around her makes me automatically feel more at peace. This is her after our early morning yoga session on the grounds of Ashiyana. I think it is a cliché to say that something is an "oasis of peace" these days but the soaring palms, the tree-lined paths, the ancient carved doors, the incredible cups of chai, the secluded spots to sit and connect with nature or with a deeper understanding of yourself -- all make Ashiyana feel just like that to me. A nearby beach offers an extra level of chill and it all adds up to make this one of my top recommendations so far in Goa. I'll have many more still to come! 🕉 @goatourism
