TREATING THE MIND, BODY, AND SPIRIT WELL

Namaste! What a wonderful trip you'll have at Vikasa Yoga Retreat in Koh Samui, Thailand. Once you step out of the plane, you can feel the energy emanating from this place! Nothing can take away the refreshing vibes of Koh Samui. With the ocean air, the crystal-clear waters, and the vibrant greenery, it's hard to be disappointed by an arrival on this incredible island.

Ask for a grand tour of Vikasa's facilities to get a full run-down of all that is on offer. There are yoga classes everyday, taught by a variety of teachers. You can try meditation, gong meditation, breathing techniques, yin yoga, power yoga, and more laid-back styles. All levels are welcome, from complete beginner to expert yogi!

While at Vikasa, you'll notice their mindful way of life and their focus on wellness. The heads of the kitchen are globally recognized and expertly trained, which explains why the food is so delicious. Vegan and vegetarian options make up the bulk of the menu, although there is meat available. Some popular items include chia seed pudding, vegan pancakes, mango salad, and superfood smoothies. Just sample it all! 

During April, you may notice that the weather changes very quickly. The rains may roll in within mere minutes, but they disappear nearly as rapidly. A short rain shower may occur, but you can hide out in the cafe, get a massage, or just relax on your room's balcony.

About 20 minutes by scooter, you can get to Fisherman's Village, which is filled with cute shops, small cafes, and a pretty beach. Stop by for a coconut and some beach photos, or to talk with the locals. Back at Vikasa, you can meet people from all over the world. Some folks are soul-searching, others are visiting Asia for the first time, and some are serious yogis completing their yoga teacher training. There is a common vibe of camaraderie and positivity.

Visiting Vikasa can be a great way to improve your well-being, feel more inspired to take action on your goals, and stay in a place that is full of positive and renewing energy. Everyone is super friendly and accommodating, and the locale is full of vibrant colors and warmth. The sun glistens on the ocean, the birds sing their songs in the mornings, and the evenings are filled with laughter from everyone getting together for a delicious dinner buffet. 

Make it a point to get here, no matter where you are in the world! Even a long flight is worth it to visit this amazingly serene place and experience it in person!
