Yoga Holiday in Koh Phangan, Thailand

Join Scarlett for a week of vinyasa flow yoga

Scarlett is the primary teacher on the Tribe Yoga Teacher Trainings. Her style originates from her years of practice and training in Ashtanga and Dynamic yoga and through simple and clear instructions Scarlett offers a practical, light hearted, fun, creative, and spontaneous approach to yoga suited to both beginners and more advanced students. Scarlett's main focus is to guide students towards having the confidence and understanding to develop a self-practice and experience the transformative power of yoga which enriches and empowers them in life as they connect to their own inner wisdom and divinity. Her emphasis in her teaching is 'its not what you do but how you do it!' encouraging her students to journey inward and explore the possibility of culitvating awareness and aquiring concentration of the mind so they can enter into deeper states of meditation and ultimately move towards higher states of conciousness.

Koh Phangan is an incredible island with very special energy, the natural beauty of its lush jungle vegetation and the crystal clear waters of the sea create a stunning location to relax and unwind on a holiday of yoga, swimming, delicious food, nature treks and boat trips.

For both beginners and more experienced yoga students this retreat offers the chance to advance ones understanding of yoga as a tool of self discovery and development. Throughout the retreat we aim to cultivate an ever increasing degree of sensitivity, focus, openness and awareness both on and off the mat so that our daily living becomes more effortless and enjoyable.  

Through simple and clear instruction using the dynamic yoga method we gently encourage the body and mind to surrender  and let go of residual tensions so that we may experience ourselves at a much deeper level.....a level where awareness and energy flow more freely and harmoniously.

The morning sessions start at 8am and last approximately 3 hours offering the opportunity to explore and utilise breathing, awareness, movement and stillness through a combination of simple yoga techniques (asana, pranayama, meditation and relaxation). Each session will have a different focus in which we will explore the basic fundamentals of yoga practice

 Breath, Bandhas, Foundation and Core.

As well as the yoga teachings the week will include the following meals, snorkelling trip, jungle trek and the 3 thai massages or oil massage (book the days you want when you get there)      

Please bring your own yoga mat or if you prefer you can purchase one on arrival
