About The Retreat
Join us for a week of transformative yoga, exploring culture, and total rejuvenation of your body and soul in, Koh Samui. The island is known for its palm-fringed beaches, coconut groves and dense, mountainous rainforest. While it’s one of Thailand’s largest islands, Koh Samui has a quaint, laid back vibe with pristine beaches, endless sunshine and of course, delicious snacks. You will be staying at Thailand’s premier health retreat, with 2 yoga shalas, onsite fitness centre, steam room, & spa and an outdoor magnesium pool with sunbeads. The accommodation is modern and vibrant. Each room has air conditioning, bottled water provided daily as well as a daily cleaning service. Rooms can be arranged into a Queen bed or two Twin beds. We will embrace the heat in the indoor studio with 4 Hot Flow classes. Practices will be held between 32-37 degrees and you will feel like totally cleansed. Our Power Flow and Yin classes will be immersed in nature in the outdoor open-air shala. It’s the perfect, refreshing setting to restore balance and soak up the tropical surroundings. Just like yoga, a good meal nourishes all the senses and brings people together. We love going to Thailand just for the food! Expect fresh local produce bursting with flavour and nutritional goodness. We have worked closely with the Kitchen to create varietal brunch and dinner menus, along with some exciting offsite adventures to taste the local cuisine. We’re also including a Thai cooking class as part of the cultural experience! This retreat will be a cultural immersion into everything the area has to offer. We have planned some very special experiences including a day trip to nearby beaches, some special offsite meals and a trip to the local night markets! And you will have plenty of free time each day to explore at your leisure. Famous for street food, massages, temples, markets, beach life, and outdoor adventures, there is something for everyone. We can’t wait to soak up the magic with you! Onsite, there is an incredible spa centre and an endless treatment menu to choose from. Indulge yourself in a traditional Thai massage, coffee body scrub or seaweed wrap. Or go alternative with emotional release therapies, astrology, or reiki. Or try them all! You will receive 20% off of all treatments at the onsite spa. There will be all the yoga, self-reflection, vibrant local food, beach trips, magnesium pool hangs, Thai massages and the magic that only happens on a retreat.

Typically our experiences average between 10 - 18 students and ensure the perfect teacher to studio ratio so everyone feels supported and connected.
What food can I expect on retreat?
Only the best! We love food and it is such an important part of the retreat experience. We work with our venues to curate a beautiful menu of fresh and local cuisines. Typically meals are communal and a time to connect and share. If you have any dietary or medical considerations, please let us know in your booking form.
