08/10/2023, Healing Holidays

Thailand’s deep-rooted healing powers make it the perfect spot to visit to rejuvenate your mind & your body, and to recalibrate your life.  Along with its endless sandy beaches and stunning scenery that would lift your soul, it is also home to some of the world’s best Yoga retreats, with many practitioners heading on yoga holidays in Thailand. Here, you can practice among the welcoming and warm-hearted locals and nourish your soul with visits to spiritual ancient ruins. Read below for the five best Yoga retreats in Thailand.

Samahita Retreat

Samahita Retreat is the brainchild of Irishman Paul Dallaghan – the Yogis Yogi, an internationally acclaimed Yogi master, whose passion and heart lies at Samahita. When he is not working on his PHD in the US he is found here, teaching the teachers who follow him cult-like, and in recent years they have allowed anyone with an interest in Yoga to come along. Days at Samahita follow a gentle pace, with lots of Yoga, stretching, meditation and mindfulness, om-chanting and candle gazing. The daily schedule also includes spinning classes and high-intensity core workouts, anything to get your diaphragm ready for the hours of Yoga ahead. Meals are communal, and the food is nourishing and wholesome, with lots of fresh fish and tangy vegetarian dishes.
