I offer you the opportunity to join me in Thailand, the beautiful Island of Koh Samui.  I first visited here as a young woman exploring the world and seeking adventure, Koh Samui holds such fondest in my heart as it is a place in the world where I FEEL FREE.

Free if the mundane everyday duties of life that are our teachers but to escape those for a short while, to let your hair blow freely in the breeze, dive into the ocean of life and bath under the radiant rays of the sun, YES please.

Koh Samui is a paradise island its famed for its outstanding beauty and has something to offer everyone. It’s known for its palm tree edged white sandy beaches, coconut groves, crystal clear turquoise waters and dense mountainous rain-forest.

Our stunning Yoga Retreat Centre, Samahita is located on a beautiful, non-touristy beach, on the southern coast of the island. It is a pioneer in the world of yoga retreats and the leading health and wellness retreat centre in Thailand.  This eco-conscious retreat is immersed in nature with spectacular views of the ocean and surrounding areas.

This will be my third stay taking a group of yoga adventures to Samahita and the reason why I return again and again is because its simply the perfect away from it all, self contained, lush and healing space that I know will support you.  The staff are all so attentive, kind and accommodating, the food exceptional and the accommodation clean, contemporary, quite and calming.

This retreat offers you an opportunity to dive deeply into your yoga practice in stunning nature, restore your elemental balance and find your ‘Inner Radiance’

Samahita was purpose-built to function as a retreat center dedicated to your vitality, well-being and relaxation. Our variety of private and shared room options reflect that. The rooms are set back from the main beachfront facilities perfect for quiet contemplation and relaxation.

Their eco-friendly buildings make use of cross-ventilation, natural lighting, rainwater harvesting, and offer both mosquito screens and fans and air conditioning. We have rooms for the single traveler, couples or friends, as well as loft-style accommodation that is ideal for families or two people sharing. Regardless of which room you stay in, the beach, pool and practice spaces are seconds away.

I suggest filling your boots and getting as much yoga practice in as you can however, I fully understand we all have much unwinding to do.  Class attendance is optional as some days you may want to walk, rest, get a massage and simply be, this is your time to nourish so you can take just what you need.
