Poetry in Motion - January 2024
Yoga and Meditation Retreat in Koh Samui – A Tropical Island in the Gulf of Thailand
Saturday 6th January 2024 – Saturday 13th January 2024
You are invited to experience the natural beauty of Thailand, Thai culture, Thai massage, healthy Thai food and the Thai hospitality
Our 2024 retreat is being held at Samhita international retreat, a direct beachfront location in the quiet, southern part of Koh Samui - a quiet relaxing part of the island, a perfect place to retreat, providing a blissful space to revitalise and rejuvenate, balancing mind, body and heart.
During this 8-day retreat, you will be invited for 3 hours each morning to re-connect through a shared experience of yoga, meditation and self-reflection practices rooted in self-compassion and gratitude - cultivating inner and outer curiosity with an emphasis on connecting authentically to yourself and others through the healing art of yoga asana, poetry, journaling, contemplation, and meditation. Reassured that you are being held in a safe and nurturing therapeutic space where you have full autonomy to practice at your own pace.
The 2-hour evening practice will be introspective and reflective in nature, practising nurturing pranayama, restorative or yin yoga and yoga nidra/meditation practice.
During the day between practices, you will have the opportunity to relax by the saltwater pool or kayak/paddleboard at the beach. Chill at the beachside lounges to quietly soak up the atmosphere or read a book - there is wifi across the property should you need it. Excursions can also be arranged for the more adventurous such as an island boat trip with snorkelling, a waterfall trip, or shopping at local night markets.
