Let’s leave the rest of the world behind us and spend a week in sun-drenched Koh Samui renewing and reviving ourselves for the rest of the year! A perfect mid-year break to destress, recharge and bliss out. Sarasvati and Danni will lead you through vibrant and awakening Yoga in the morning, and a slow and rejuvenating practice in the late afternoon. These two experienced Yogis will also delve into some of the more interesting applications of Yogic philosophy, exploring the ways that Yoga goes beyond the mat and reaches into our thoughts and feelings, our daily lives. And plenty of time left to explore the day activities at Samahita, or simply soak in the sun on the serene Koh Samui beaches.
Join us for 8 days of tropical beaches, healing food and relaxed pace. Take some time out to recharge, and join Sarasvati and Danni for an immersive practice of yoga, meditation and mindfulness. For while a tropical getaway can be relaxing, yoga and meditation lead us to a deep easefulness. Yoga and meditation help us find our holdfasts, our roots to the universe that don’t so much nourish us as hold us steady and ground us against the tides and eddies of our ever-changing lives.
With a twice daily yoga and meditation practice, which you can take at your own pace and level, you will cultivate a greater sense of inner peace and calm, to carry back with you when the retreat has ended. And plenty of time left to explore the day activities at Samahita, or simply soak in the sun on the serene Koh Samui beaches. A perfect mid-year break to find the innate stillness and serenity of your unchanging Self - or simply squelch among the seaweed.
