Retreats & Sanctuaries

There are a growing number of holistic retreats and sanctuaries that include detox, meditation, tai-chi and yoga and a simple internet search will yield a range of results for those seeking spiritual renewal. The Koh Phangan Yoga Retreat run by British-born island residents Teresa and Kes Kennard is set in a peaceful and lush green environment just a short drive from the beach at Haad Salad, and Teresa runs popular yoga and pilates sessions daily on a large open air platform with serene views over the imposing jungle clad mountain. You can also indulge in some Chakra Healing, Alexander Technique lessons or try their herbal steam sauna. Five to ten-day retreats including basic accommodation, food and all sessions can be arranged. Kes also has a wealth of knowledge of local activities.
