Once a record producer in London, Phil Dane left the UK for Goa, India, where he started Yoga Magic Eco Retreat, an eco-friendly retreat, together with his partner Ishi. With tented eco-lodges and yoga and meditation classes, this retreat is a peaceful oasis located near the beaches of North Goa. YogaMagic uses its natural environment for building materials and self-sufficiency: it is built from canvas, bamboo and mud, powered by solar energy, and uses homegrown or locally sourced food. Phil and Ishi’s mission for YogaMagic is to provide a platform for transformation and a way to give back. They are creating a network of support, bringing alternative energy and sustainable building techniques to local families and community members in order to encourage a return to natural farming and restore independence, dignity, and hope. YogaMagic represents not only a tranquil retreat to inspire a personal yoga journey, but a way to live sustainably, kindly, and with others in mind.
