"A Taste for Life": a 10-day yoga retreat on Koh Phangan
Ten days on a tropical island: daily yoga and meditation, breathwork, hidden beaches, waterfalls and temples. A full reset for body and mind. The retreat is held in Russian.
What's inside
Not a holiday with yoga, but a reset with soul
Daily practice
1.5–2.5 hours of yoga and meditation a day: gentle openings, breathwork with essential oils, detox yoga, yoga nidra, partner yoga and closing integration practices.
Meditation training
Group sessions with Vladimir Kursov, psychologist (Moscow State University) and vipassana meditation teacher.
The island itself
Three excursions: temples and viewpoints, Than Sadet waterfall, Bottle Beach and Koh Ma, and a full day in Ang Thong Marine Park with snorkelling and kayaking.

A seaside stay, included
We will stay at a comfortable seaside resort on Koh Phangan. The exact venue is confirmed closer to the date and shared with every participant personally. Double and single rooms are available.
