01  /  The treatment

Re-align and re-balance.

The Body Alignment that Prem practices and teaches is based on a system that has been around for centuries but has remained hidden for a long time. It was passed down to Prem from Swami Vijayanand Ji and is a hands-on therapy practice which aligns and balances the body, taking a holistic approach.

This benefits people on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level. It is common for people to come out of sessions feeling lighter, in every way. Treatment is done fully clothed and this is not a massage, it is physical manipulation.

Back To Normal

Our longest programme, for problems that have built up over years, or more than one at once. Twenty days of treatment gives the body time to settle into the changes and build strength and flexibility before you go home.

If this review can reach one person who is suffering, and convince them to give Prem a chance to help, I would feel like I have changed the world.

Knees, hips, back, shoulders and neck, in five days
I came in with multiple physical issues — knee pain, hip discomfort, lower back problems, and chronic tension in my shoulders and neck. After just five days, I can honestly say that all of my issues are completely gone, which I still can’t believe myself.

A two-year back injury, three or four sessions
I had (have) a back injury I've been carrying for 2 years. I only did 3-4 sessions with Prem, because I had to leave india. The difference is unbelievable. It doesn't make sense, honestly. First thing to disappear was my knee pain that I've had my whole life. Then the back pain faded and did not come back.

Walking with a stick, five sessions
When I went to Prem, walking was very painful for me after a wrong move. I had to use a walking stick and stairs were a torture. Prem healed me in 5 sessions, and explained what he was doing. He gave me exercises and yoga asanas to remain flexible.

I had a major surgery and was very limited in my arms movements. Prem really helped me recover some flexibility I had lost. He also helped me with the mobility of my joints. I feel much better since my sessions with him, my body is balanced and light. I highly recommend.
Doro Thea Review from our previous website
04  /  A day here

Four things happen, every day.

Nothing is rushed and nothing is padded out. The same four pieces, every day. The repetition is the point.

  1. 01

    Pranayama and Meditation

    This is a form of ancient yogic breathwork that is essential to supporting the body's recovery system. These classes will give you the tools to maintain your new alignment, physically, mentally and emotionally.

  2. 02

    Your individual treatment

    Most of these will be body alignment sessions with Prem. Based on your needs these might be Somatic Therapy, Acupuncture, Hypnotherapy and many more.

  3. 03

    Movement practice

    This could be a Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Yin Yoga class or any other of our offerings depending on the day and where you are in your treatment.

  4. 04

    Rest and Reflection

    Your body does the repair between sessions, not during them. The rest of the day is yours, which is rather the point of being in Goa.

How the week runs

Our Goa programmes start on Mondays, so we kindly ask people to arrive on the Saturday or Sunday to rest before the early start. Occasionally we will ask patients to come in on the middle Sunday, if their treatment needs it.

Over the course of five days, we began each morning with pranayama and meditation, followed by individual sessions and additional work throughout the day.

Meet Prem and Savannah.

Prem and Savannah's team of therapists includes a traditional yoga therapist, an asana alignment specialist, a breathworker, an acupuncturist, a hypnotherapist, a somatic therapist and a behavioural scientist.

Prem sitting cross-legged in the open-sided yoga shala at the centre
Prem · Founder

A Bit About PremPrem’s journey of yoga began at the age of 39 after he developed serious health issues due to his previous line of work, which required him to sit for 16-18 hours daily. The left side of his body became partially paralysed. While he was undergoing his medicinal therapy, he met Swami Vijayanand Ji who removed his dependency on allopathic drugs and completely recovered him through Yoga Therapy and Body Alignment. He then taught Prem and told him to go and help others now. Prem is also now a qualified Yoga Therapist, which he uses to complement the techniques shared with him by Swami Vijayanand. He then moved from the plains of Punjab up to the mountains, opening the Brahma Yoga Center in 2017.

Prem has helped many people heal severe physical injuries through body alignment and in 2022 he and Savannah opened the Body Alignment Center in Goa. Currently, Prem gives treatments, talks and teaches Body Alignment, Yogic and Vedanta Philosophy, Pranayama, Meditation.

Savannah · Director

Savannah is a Behavioural Scientist who trained at the world leading UCL Centre for Behaviour Change under Dr Susan Michie, where she is an honorary research affiliate. She completed her 500-hour yoga teaching training in Rishikesh and Dharamshala, with a focus on Pranayama and Meditation, which she teaches in Goa. She has healed through an autoimmune disease and contributes her academic and lived healing experience to the sessions.

Savannah is a former top 100 GB tennis player and runs a Women's Sports Club Sarreya Sport alongside her role at the Body Alignment Center.

Everyone here exceeded my expectations: Savannah’s warm welcome and attentive listening, Prem’s incredible care and wise advice…

Small print, no dressing

Things worth knowing before you fly.

No guarantees

Nobody here promises a full recovery. Some people walk out fixed. Some walk out one step closer to recovery. You will be told honestly which one is likely before you book.

Drop-in sessions

During peak season, we are unable to offer drop-in sessions. Single sessions are only for people who have been through a programme already, if we have availability. Long-standing problems need a full programme of five, ten or twenty days.

Payment and changes

Although our programmes are not refundable, they are transferable provided you give 5 weeks notice. Days you miss are not lost though: they can be used later for a check-up.

Prices and scholarships

Please note prices are fixed but depend on if you would like the standard, premium or VIP amenities. The treatment is the same in all packages. We focus our efforts on treatment and have priced as fairly as possible for us to maintain the quality of our programmes and financial sustainability.

If you are genuinely unable to afford any kind of treatment, please reach out but be aware that our scholarship places are usually reserved for people local to Goa.
