Hello, I am the founder of the Yoga Retreat located in Koh-Phangan, Thailand. I have an extensive background, over twenty years, in dance, pilates, and yoga. I flow and incorporate aspects and elements of these disciplines together as well as add other healing techniques such as Reiki and Pranic healing into my daily teachings. My style is calm and down to earth, bringing my students to a deeper awareness of being in their bodies. In terms of my role as a teacher, I position myself as a guide.
I encourage each individual student to listen to his/her own unique body. I truly believe students are their own best teachers and my role, as a facilitator, is to suggest movement and breathing techniques in order that students may step closer and reach states of liberation and peace. My approach is to listen to my student's bodies, read their energy and create a flow that will joyfully take them to a positive state of being.
Yoga classes are a combination of familiar postures as well as more challenging poses, with variations given for more advanced students. The aim is to increase vitality at the same time as ones sense of well - being. Emphasis is always on the breath with awareness of the body and mind. This way the body becomes energized, the mind becomes centered, and awareness is increased. Our courses aim to develop the individual.
We are a family run retreat and I established the center with the aim of creating a nurturing space for personal transformation, deep connection with the natural world and one's own nature. We offer simple accommodations for encouragement of simplicity, natural living and authentic practices for healing.
