Bridging practice & faith.
after a successful and enriching experience at the Yoga & Christianity Conference in Goa, we are looking for dates for the next conference.
Nestled amidst the serene beauty of Goa’s picturesque coastal landscape, this exceptional event is designed to bridge the timeless traditions of Yoga with the profound spiritual insights of Christianity. Participants will embark on a journey towards holistic growth, self-discovery, and deeper spiritual understanding.
Organised through a collaboration between Light-On-Yoga. International (LOY.i) and the Kripa Foundation, this gathering promises a rare convergence of diverse spiritual paths. Fr Joe Pereira, the inspirational founder of Kripa Foundation, whose unique method integrates Iyengar Yoga with Christian spirituality and has profoundly impacted lives worldwide; Rita Keller, an acclaimed yoga teacher whose approach deeply engages Yoga’s contemplative and healing dimensions; Alan Goode, a respected figure in Iyengar Yoga, known for his insightful guidance on integrating Yoga’s principles with spiritual development
Over two insightful days 6-7 January, 2027, participants will engage in enlightening presentations, practical and reflective workshops, as well as communal meditative and prayerful practices. Each session aims to illuminate the intersections of asana and pranayama (breathing techniques), meditation practices, and spiritual contemplation. The conference offers an extraordinary opportunity to deepen personal understanding, nurture inner peace, and build meaningful connections with like-minded individuals seeking spiritual depth and harmony.
Accommodation and dining options are available offering comfortable and welcoming environments to support your spiritual retreat. Meals, accommodating dietary requirements including vegetarian and vegan options will further enhance the communal spirit of this gathering.
Participants will register through the Kripa Foundation website, where further information regarding bookings, accommodation specifics, and detailed event schedules are provided.
Come and immerse yourself in this harmonious blend of Yoga and Spirituality, enrich your spiritual practice, and discover new dimensions of personal and spiritual growth in the tranquil and inspiring setting of Goa.

Accommodation. Kripa Foundation Goa
The Kripa Foundation centre in Anjuna, Goa, offers a unique environment in which the practical and contemplative aspects of yoga can be experienced within a setting shaped by both history and purpose. Located along the Anjuna–Vagator Road, the centre is anchored by the historic Casa Albuquerque, a traditional Goan residence that reflects the region’s Portuguese heritage and long cultural lineage . Alongside this, a newly constructed Yoga Sanctuary and hall has been developed, providing a fully equipped space for Iyengar Yoga practice, with all necessary props and a design that supports this contemplative practice.
Accommodation is excellent, with single rooms and twin share featuring ensuite bathrooms in the newer buildings, allowing participants privacy and ease during extended stays. The centre is known for its excellent, nourishing food, with meals prepared to support both health and practice, offering vegetarian and other dietary options within a communal setting.
Set within walking distance of Anjuna Beach, part of Goa’s long coastal stretch along the Arabian Sea, the environment offers both natural beauty and a sense of openness. In January, the weather is particularly favourable, with warm days, cooler evenings, and almost uninterrupted sunshine, creating ideal conditions for practice and reflection.
