marc kresskirsten miaThe practice of yoga brings the mind and body together, grounding us in the present, connecting us with where we are and what our body tells us about ourselves. Yoga is a process of re-connecting to our body and breath, coming back into the present moment. The ancient yogis realized that in order to be able to meditate effectively requires a healthy, strong body, so they developed yoga postures (asanas), cleansing techniques and breathing exercises (pranayama). Through regular practise of asanas, pranayama and meditation, yoga unlocks the deeper levels of our being. It is a way of moving into stillness in order to experience the truth of who we are. This retreat is open to beginners and experienced students. Please bring a yoga mat.

Previously a chef and top sales executive, she now lives and works at Samahita Retreat in Koh Samui, Thailand, where she did her teacher training, and continues to study under her primary teacher Paul Dallaghan. You can expect a holistic, balanced and explorative practice on the mat, including a variety of asana approaches, interwoven with breathwork, chanting and meditation, in tune with the energy, space and people.
