Sunrise meditation circle on Sai Island, Goa

Goa  ·  Private Island  ·  Full Moon Retreat

Disconnect from the noise.
Reconnect with yourself — an island yoga retreat in Goa.

A rare, invitation-led retreat on a private island in Goa — yoga, breathwork, kundalini activation, sound healing, and sacred Full Moon rituals, held quietly for a deliberately small circle each cycle.

Inward Action holds nature-first yoga retreats in Goa for the discerning few who understand that real transformation cannot be scaled — where movement, stillness, breath, and community come together, undiluted.

Arnold Dcosta

Teaching yoga since 2018, Arnold holds a 200-hour Teacher Training Certification and draws on a study of the Shiv Puran alongside the science and practice of Hatha, Vinyasa, breathwork, chakra cleansing, and kundalini yoga — from Mumbai to Pushkar, and now on Sai Island in Goa. Every Inward Action retreat is held with the same spirit: honesty, patience, self-practice, and service, guiding the experience without positioning himself as a guru.

"This was the most wonderful beautiful little escape, so serene yet close to the everything. We had the most lovely time with noone to disturb us. We spent a lot of time in the small freshwater pool which was very clear and we could see the fishes swim under our legs. We also took an amazing breathwork session in the water which just added to the entire experience.

The kayaking is highly recommended and will bring a lot of calm just looking at the sunset and greenery around, we were lucky to be around the full moon night so we saw both the sun set and the moon rise, it was almost magical. The small island was filled with moonlight at night and felt just as wonderful at dark.

You don't need any second thoughts for this experience, you can go all in!"

"I joined Arnold's yoga classes a few months ago and it's genuinely changed how I feel day to day... my flexibility has improved, my posture feels better, and I don't get those afternoon headaches anymore. What I love about Arnold is that he doesn't just make you do poses — he actually teaches you how to breathe, how to slow down, and how to use yoga for mental peace."

"My visit to Inward Action in Goa was truly a life-changing experience. I had the privilege of learning chakra alignment and yoga from Arnold D'Costa, and it completely changed the way I look at my physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It isn't just about fitness — it brings balance, inner peace, and a deeper connection with yourself."

"Spirituality is sacred; very few understand it and even fewer know how to handle thoughts on a spiritual level; Arnold is that person. He's a yogi, philosopher, teacher, mentor, friend all merged in one. He does complete justice to your thoughts and feelings without being patronizing."
