adventure yoga retreat turkey 2025

Living in the present, surrounded by the iconic tropical views of Koh Samui.

Get out of your head and into your body. If you know what it's like to life in a mental loop, caught in what you should be doing and who you should be keeping up with. This retreat is for you.

It's for the part of you that may have forgotten how to just…be. Not 'be present' in the cliche kind of way. Actually be somewhere. With people, doing things that matter for no reason other than they feel good in the moment.

It's for the part of you that may have forgotten how to just…be. Not 'be present' in the cliche kind of way. Actually be somewhere. With people, doing things that matter for no reason other than they feel good in the moment.


Set along the coast of Koh Samui, this week is designed to support presence without force. Morning movement, nourishing meals, time in nature, and open afternoons that don’t ask anything of you.

There’s no pressure to transform or arrive somewhere new. Just space to be fully here, to notice, to feel, and to reconnect with the quiet steadiness that exists when you stop living ahead of yourself.

You'll spend a week in Thailand with people who also needed an excuse to get out of their own way. You'll move your body, eat good food, swim in the ocean, and have the kinds of conversations that remind you why human connection matters. No pressure to transform. No one telling you how to live. Just space to exhale and remember what you actually like about being alive.

If you've been waiting for permission to stop optimizing and start living, this is it.

From your peaceful retreat center, you’ll embark on adventures through waterfalls, temples, and local markets while enjoying nourishing Thai cuisine and the serenity of our private beach and infinity pool.

what makes this trip unique

island hopping

Private boat. Turquoise water. We'll hop between islands in the national marine park, snorkel when we feel like it, swim off the boat, and eat lunch on a beach. This is the day you stop checking your phone and swim in the famous waters of Thailand's coast.

Thai Cooking Class

You'll learn to make a few Thai dishes you'll actually want to recreate when you get back, and you'll eat everything you make with the group. It's messy, it's fun, and someone will definitely add too much chili.

local exploration

Some days you just want to wander.

We'll explore nearby towns, poke around local shops, and get the best pad thai. We will also head to our favorite beach bar for silly, iconic Koh Samui vibes. This is your time to be curious, go at your own pace, and get immersed in local culture.

yoga with ocean views

Devon and Maria will lead you through two yoga sessions a day, one to wake up, one to wind down. All levels welcome, no performance pressure.

We will also have a sound healing with singing bowls and breath work. You'll feel it in your body, but it won't consume your whole day. Just enough to feel good.

downtime in the tropics

Our retreat center sits on a clifftop with ocean views that don't get old.

Between sessions, you can hang by the infinity pool, read on your balcony, nap in a hammock, or find one of the hidden quiet spots around the property.

The waves crash below on our private beach, the breeze keeps things cool, and the food is insane. Sometimes the best part of a retreat is permission to do absolutely nothing.

nourishment

We still dream about the food at our retreat center. Organic, locally sourced dishes like Thai curry, fresh salads, and delicious deserts.

Everything's made with local ingredients and those ocean views you'll never get tired of. We'll also eat out in town a few times because Thai food is, well, the best.

Where We're Staying

Where We're Staying

Our retreat is on an ocean cliffside, offering sweeping views and insane sunrises. Each cabana has private, ocean-front access. You will have direct access for early morning swims, or late-night stargazing.

Wake up to golden light spilling through your window, tropical fauna all around. The food is to-die-for, there is an infinity pool for lounging, and a spa to visit during free time.

The serene, peaceful atmospheres will allow you to unwind and fully immerse yourself in the retreat experience. Wake up to the sounds of the ocean, enjoy a morning yoga session with the sunrise, and relax after a day of exploration and practice.
