An Ashtanga x Dharma Yoga Retreat for a Complete Practice and Intentional Living
Koh Samui, Thailand
Vikasa Yoga Resort
March 29-April 4, 2026
Join Jen and Michelle for a transformative week of self-discovery and exploration in Koh Samui, Thailand. Perched on a cliffside overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, our home for the week offers a serene sanctuary where the lush jungle meets the expansive sea, providing the perfect setting to expand your yoga practice.
Mornings begin with the sun rising over the horizon as you flow through your practice in an open-air yoga shala, where panoramic sea views enhance every breath. Throughout the retreat, you’ll immerse yourself in a complete yoga experience, blending dynamic Ashtanga and Dharma Yoga with pranayama and meditation to cultivate inner awareness, and evening yin and yoga nidra to restore balance. Through guided discussions and reflective sessions, we’ll explore how to integrate yoga into every aspect of life. A specialty asana workshop offers an opportunity to refine and advance your practice with focused guidance.
Beyond the mat, our days unfold with time to explore Koh Samui’s hidden coves and vibrant local culture, indulge in nourishing, wholesome meals, or simply unwind in a hammock, lulled by the sound of the waves below. Our journey extends with an ethical elephant experience, offering a chance to interact with these gentle giants in a responsible and compassionate way, and a private boat trip to Koh Madsum, known as Pig Island, and a meaningful opportunity to give back through a local service project. This retreat isn’t just about deepening your personal practice—it’s about expanding our awareness and impact beyond ourselves, supporting the local community in a way that aligns with the principles of yoga.
Whether you're traveling with a friend, family, or embarking on a solo journey, you'll be part of a supportive community of like-minded individuals, forging lasting connections in an unforgettable setting. So, what are you waiting for? Book your spot, pack your bags, and let’s embark on this journey together—Thailand awaits!
Location
Perched on a cliffside overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, Vikasa Yoga Retreat is the perfect setting for a week of renewal and transformation. This peaceful sanctuary on the island of Koh Samui offers the best of both worlds—seclusion for deepening your yoga practice, yet easy access to the island’s stunning beaches and vibrant local culture. Here, the rhythmic sound of the ocean and the lush tropical surroundings create a space that encourages reflection, connection, and personal growth.
More than just a retreat venue, Vikasa is a place designed for evolution, where every element—from the thoughtfully designed yoga spaces to the nourishing meals—supports your journey both on and off the mat. Here, yoga isn’t just an activity—it’s a way of life, woven into every element of the retreat experience. At Vikasa, every element is designed to support growth, connection, and renewal. From its eco-conscious accommodations that blend seamlessly with nature to its vibrant community of yogis from around the world, this is more than just a retreat venue—it’s a place to awaken, evolve, and return home to yourself.
