OUR VENUE // VIKASA YOGA, KOH SAMUI ISLAND, THAILAND
Vikasa is a yoga retreat centre in tropical paradise that has called Koh Samui home for over a decade. It is fully equipped to offer you space for luxurious relaxation whilst being fully immersed in nature. With its own dedicated restaurant, team of staff and not to mention its variety of yoga shala’s, this venue will make you feel as though you won’t want to leave. With its own private beach, it is the place where dreams are made of.
I have carefully selected this venue and know that it will bring this retreat to life in the way I intend and cannot wait for you to join me there.
KOH SAMUI // YOUR ISLAND FOR 10 NIGHTS
Nestled in the spectacular Gulf of Thailand, the tropical island of Koh Samui provides the perfect backdrop to our retreat. Our tranquil surroundings are abundant with natural flora and fauna, offering a unique, tranquil and inspiring setting for this journey. The exotic location, with lush jungles and rustic secret beaches, offers a contrast to daily life in urban environments which will give you plenty of room to unwind and take a breath. It is the most ideal location to unplug from the hectic demands and pace of the modern world and absorb the positive energy of tropical sunshine, unspoilt nature and
the beautiful local culture.
The island has an abundance of waterfalls, white-sand beaches and holistic attractions. Thailand is a Buddhist
country and the local people will fill your heart with joy. There is a reason why Thailand is called ‘The Land of Smiles.’
YOGA // DAILY SADHANA
Over 10 nights we will explore daily yoga practices interspersed with opportunities for fun and enjoyment and plenty of time to immerse in the local culture and the stunning island.
But at the heart of this retreat is connection to Self and the way to do that is through yoga, mindfulness and meditation which will act as the cornerstone of the experience. Your schedule will be specifically and careful designed to support you on a journey of self awakening inspired by the Goddess Tradition whilst being supported by the stunning landscape and breathtaking nature that will surround and guide you. We will take daily practice to include morning asana, pranayama and meditation with a quieter evening yin and yoga nidra sessions. We will also take morning silence to offer room for enquiry and sunrise meditations to invoke more meaningful conversations with ourselves.
Our dedicated and private yoga shala for our retreat has beautiful views of the jungle and ocean. All yoga equipment is provided to include mats, meditation cushions, blocks and straps.
My teaching style is known for its fiery, dynamic and fun approach so having 2+ years asana experience is preferred.
ACTIVITIES INCLUDED:
- Sunset Boat Trip where we will immerse in the stunning surroundings and breath taking views
- Visit to a reputable Thai Elephant Sanctuary to support the welfare of rescued elephants
- Temple Tour in immerse in local culture
- Guided Waterfall Hike to play, explore and be in nature
- 60 minute complementary massage to be taken at the in house spa
There will be plenty of free time to explore, relax and fill your cup up in the most magical of ways. Island life will mean we will have chance to explore the coasts with plenty of opportunities for lazing on the beach or exploring the waters with water sports. Whilst our home offers chance to step away from the hubbub of life, there is plenty of freedom to explore the local towns and markets on foot or tuk-tuk.
ON SITE SPA // TREATMENTS
There is an on site Wellness Spa offering a wide range of treatments for you to indulge in during your stay offering the perfect splash of indulgence whilst in paradise. As part of your retreat you’ll receive a complimentary 60 minute massage to take at the spa during your stay. Options include a Coconut Oil Body Massage to a Full Body Thai Massage!
Vikasa Vita Spa blends authentic Thai tradition, ancient wisdom and modern expertise and its beautiful new spa offers a vast menu with different treatments and therapies to suit any need. Opt for a traditional Thai massage, ease sore muscles with a Swedish deep tissue treatment or slip into bliss with aromatherapy options. You can select from the indoor, air
conditioned spa therapy room with a zen-style vibe, or enjoy an open air massage in the stunning spa pagodas perched high on the clifftop above the ocean and surrounded by nature.
What a treat!
