Types of yoga sessions available in Samui

Yoga Retreat

Yoga Retreats

Avid yogis and yoginis may consider going on a yoga retreat. There are a variety of resorts and yoga centers offering a wealth of yoga and wellness programs, ranging from short five-day retreats, to courses lasting a month or more.

The intensity of yoga practice and activities offered during these yoga retreats may vary drastically. Most retreat programs include yoga sessions, meditation, vegetarian food, fresh juices, massages and other wellness activities. Having plenty of rest is a priority, so participants can expect schedules with early mornings and early nights.

Private Yoga Session

Private Yoga Sessions

A full-fledged yoga retreat may not be for everyone. Vacation makers who prefer a flexible holiday schedule may choose to slot in a couple of yoga sessions at the place of their accommodation. Villa travellers may easily arrange for a private yoga session to be conducted in the compounds of their abode with the aid of their villa manager.

Drop In Classes

Travellers who wish to practice yoga in a group may drop in at classes held at yoga centers. These centers often offer flexible options, such as short-term passes and one-off classes for travellers.

  • There is one more 100% vegan place on Koh Samui (in Lamai area, just in 120 meters from Lamai Veggie which is the last one in this listing) — Yoga House & Spa (http://house-yoga.com/en/vegan-cafe). It is inside the yoga studio, just opened (July 2016), is cozy & nicely decorated, offers (mostly) European dishes & desserts from Monday to Saturday (11 AM — 7 PM).

  • Thank you! Such articles are very useful. Would be twice great if you can add some info about Yoga House to your article… ;-) Photos and details are available by the link I've provided (or I can answer any questions you have).

  • Koh Samui photographers are really amazing photographers. They make the moment memorable for the rest of our life. Recently I attend my friend's marriage party, it was beautifully designed and maintained until the end. Thanks to Magic Day Co. Ltd Wedding planner to make her marriage memorable.

  • Awesome article and such helpful information. Thank you so much for the topics and the content. It helps a lot, after I was hopping around the beaches on Samui. My favorite one was the naturism beach in the north. A small bay, only us and coconut trees. Oh, i really over the place. But now I am back in Canada and saving money for my next trip in 2 months. Last time I passed the chance to do my diving license on Koh Tao. That is what I need to do this year. If somebody has any suggestions, I will be very happy. Unfortunately, on the last day, I had booked a nice boat cruise tour from Samui to Koh Phangan, for a very fair price, and with excellent service. I saw too late, that this brilliant company https://kohsamui.tours offers all tours and activities like diving or jet ski safari around Samui Archipel. I start already to study a bit for my next stay and looking for your next blog posts. Have a good time and thanks for all.

  • Thank you very much for these extraordinary helpful articles, great pictures and advertised tours. Based on your information, we decided to take a guided boat tour through the Koh Samui archipelago. With https://kohsamui.tours we found a very cheap boat tour that we can really recommend. From the pick up to the food and the tour guide everything was sensational. We surprised, that everything was running so smoothly and comfortably. We never expect that Thailand has so much beautiful nature to offer that it is truly incredible. We are looking forward to further articles from you and read with great interest. Best regards and stay healthy.
