Sara Ali Khan can be your wellness instructor. And no, we are not kidding. With Airbnb Experiences, the actor is managing and hosting a wellness retreat in Goa.

“Goa has always been a place of peace and tranquility – a haven where I can relax, practice yoga and reconnect with myself,” says Sara. Goa, where yoga and health are at center stage.”

A group of four guests can live this experience in a property that has a minimalist design with lush green foliage, swaying coconut trees and earthy colors, a pool and a gazebo. “For starters, I’m going to guide them through a yoga session and my favorite asanas — a first for me because I’ve always been on the other side of the mat,” says Sara. Upon check-in, they will be greeted with a note offering Sara’s health tips. And the menu has some of the actor’s favorite healthy dishes like sprouts salad, grilled fish or chicken, hummus with roasted vegetables, palak paneer with roti and tandoori tikka.

“Guests will have the opportunity to experience the tranquility of Goa on a guided nature trail and relax with a rejuvenating massage. Before they return home, I will share personalized souvenirs so they can keep them as memories of this experience. The goal is to take some time to embrace overall balance and well-being,” she adds.

Sara, a supporter of yoga, has been practicing this yoga for some time. “It allows me to connect with my body and mind, providing a sense of peace and balance that has been very beneficial in both my personal and professional life. Some of my favorite asanas are Vrikshasana and Virabhadrasana. Shavasana should not be forgotten after the end of a challenging session. Each pose helps me focus, refresh and stay grounded, whether I’m preparing for a tough day on set or just stopping for a moment,” says Sara. Exercising is a non-negotiable part of their daily routine. Because it provides the calm needed to stay grounded, manage stress, and live the day with clarity and focus.

Even on holidays, the 29-year-old makes sure to make time for these practices. “I always carry my yoga mat with me wherever I go. I’ve also been lucky enough to find Airbnb hosts who were kind enough to arrange a host for me. I love challenging myself and trying different forms of exercise, no matter where I am. “Although there is nothing like hiking in the mountains, when I am in Mumbai I either do yoga or am at a Pilates studio.”

For her, fitness isn’t just a routine; It is a way of life. And is he a tough task-master? “I like efficiency and professionalism. If he’s there, we can have fun.”
