Yoga & Culture in Thailand

As Susan Sontag said, “I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.” Andrea has been wanting to visit Thailand and Cambodia for years now, and is thrilled to finally be heading there! Join us for 8 days of exploration of all the many facets that incredible Thailand has to offer. We’ll begin in the south at a highly-acclaimed, luxurious 5-star resort situated on the edge of Krabi Marine National Park on the crystal clear waters of the Andaman Sea. Nestled discreetly amidst tropical gardens and coconut groves, against a backdrop of sheer cliffs and lush jungle foliage, the resort can only be reached by boat. We will enjoy beautifully designed private bungalows, excellent cuisine, warm service, and one of the most unique relaxation spas in Thailand. Each day will provide ample free time to relax by the gorgeous pool, snorkel in the stunning sea, and explore on your own. Andrea will be leading the group in two yoga classes a day. 

 

We will continue our journey by flying north to the foothills for a stay in Chiang Mai, the cultural capital. Unique custom-designed excursions will include exploring ancient temples by rickshaw, participating in a traditional offering at a Buddhist temple, enjoying a private walking and shopping tour of local artisans and their handicrafts, cooking classes, an unforgettable traditional paper-lantern ceremony, and a visit to a nearby elephant sanctuary. Accommodation will be at a lovely property located in the historic heart of the city. The charming boutique hotel takes its name from a majestic 200-year-old tamarind tree that shelters the hotel. The rooms reflect the rich ethnic diversity of northern Thailand by using fabrics and patterns drawn from various tribes of the region. Enjoy yoga with Andrea one to two times a day in a nearby local studio, rich cultural interactions, and delicious food. As Andrea says, “Our yoga practices are part of the fabric of our journey and extend beyond the confines of a studio as we stretch out into the ‘everywhere’ of travel adventure together."

After the retreat concludes, journey home or adventure on with us to Cambodia!
