Yoga Retreats in detail - Why join a Yoga Retreat at Samahita?

Yoga Retreat

Yoga Retreats offer you the opportunity to deepen and further your practice or to come and begin properly. Brand new or seasoned Yogi, a yoga retreat allows you to explore the practices further.

This is an opportunity to deepen and further your practice or to come and begin it properly. Some practitioners join us as beginners with absolutely no yoga background; others come in already seasoned and experienced. Over the years we have fine-tuned our teaching techniques, so that our students-whether advanced or just beginning-feel comfortable and supported.

Samahita Yoga Thailand was established by dedicated and experienced yoga teachers whose seniority is recognized internationally.

We offer informative and lively programs on all aspects of yoga, including Asana, Pranayama, Meditation, philosophy, anatomy, diet and food, and other related aspects.

Add to this, delicious, healthy food and a peaceful environment surrounded by nature... The overall experience at Samahita Yoga Thailand is restorative and invigorating.

Yoga Retreats - what are they?

Some of the programs are simple retreats, excellent for integrating yoga into a holiday or vacation. Others are more specific, covering areas of special interest and training. These present ideal opportunities for intensive study-to practice deeper, learn more, or sometimes even to begin the practice of yoga. Retreats are usually pegged at a set rate that covers the full yoga program, accommodation, and meals.

What is Classical Yoga?

tradition rich - correct practice - deep understanding

Classical Yoga is a non-dogmatic approach to the rich tradition of yoga practices. It is based on a correct understanding of the nature and purpose of the different practices, be they asana, breath, or others. This understanding helps inform the approach of the particular practice, which goes past the mere physical effect and presentation to the subtle aspects. These gross to subtle elements, principles, are well explained by the tradition of yoga, which can be interpreted as its scientific base. This is how yoga has survived over the millenia, through correct understanding of the nature of practices, learning them well and continuing practice. Classical Yoga maintains integrity by staying true to these aspects.

What is Ashtanga?

Ashtanga Vinyasa is a beautiful yet thorough approach to asana practice. It is rooted in a solid tradition and carries with it this strength of thousands of years. Ashtanga is the basis of so many approaches today. It masterfully presents the asanas and lets the students move through them, growing and undoing the blocks they encounter. It incorporates movement with breath, a unique science in its own right. Its real advantage is that it gives the student a practice and something to always progress and develop in.

Paul and the teachers are highly experienced in this practice. Paul, specifically, was one of a few in the world directly certified by Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois.

What is Pranayama?

Pranayama is a practice that develops emotional strength and balance. It uses the breath as well as the entire respiratory system to purify and strengthen the nerves, which-when practiced consistently over time-leads to greater control of the senses, as well as a calmer, clearer mind and a great ability to handle stress in all situations.
Paul has studied pranayama for many years under one of its few remaining authorities, Sri O.P. Tiwari, who has taught him (and only one other student) the complete Pranayama. Paul continues to practice at a very advanced level under the close guidance of Tiwariji, who is the direct disciple of Swami Kuvalayananda, founder of the Kaivalyadhama Yoga Institute.
