With both natural
beaches and dense jungles, southern Thailand offers a unique natural
bounty. We spend ten days here on the lush island of Koh Lanta: twice-daily
yoga compliments optional scuba diving and elephant riding - or you
might just want to relax and have a Thai massage or spa treatment.
This is a unique mix of yoga and
adventure. We overnight on uninhabited islets, investigate the secrets
of Thai cuisine as well as yoga sessions designed to develop and deepen
whatever yoga practice you've achieved so far.
Staying in palm-thatched bungalows,
our little resort also features a swimming pool, traditional restaurant
and dual yoga platforms. Each bungalow offers wireless access and
its own en-suite wet room. We end each day with an unforgettable yoga
class watching the sunset over the Andaman Sea.

Day 1 - Arrivals
Meet our tour leader and yoga instructor at our beach side accommodation.
Day 2 Yoga and relaxing
Our first yoga session is followed by a chance to relax and take in
our surroundings. Koh Lanta is set in a stunning seascape of magical
beaches, bright reefs, azure waters and clear, fresh sunlight. Fireflies
accompany us as we finish the day with an evening yoga class.
Day 3 Elephant jungle trek
Morning yoga before setting off for a rendezvous with our family of
Indian elephants (optional). We ride into a lush rainforest of palms,
orchids and teak amid the chatter of monkeys and crickets. The Thai
jungle teems with life: 920 species of birds live here (Europe has
500) as well as bears, monkeys and, of course, elephants. We have
the chance to explore a nearby cave system before returning for our
evening yoga class on the beach.
Days 4 and 5 Spa, massage and relax
Based on a system similar to yoga, a Thai massage is the opportunity
to experience a deep physical healing. Buddhists believe giving a
massage gains merit and this ancient tradition is deeply ingrained
into hai culture. Our little resort also offers an array of spa treatments
today we have the opportunity to sample these wonderful gifts
or to just relax and enjoy the sun.
Day 6 Island hopping & beach camp.
An unforgettable journey to explore the virgin islands of the Andaman
Sea (optional). Travelling by long tail boat we visit a succession
of coral beaches before a ending the day with a yoga session and fireside
dinner at our starlit camp.
