Setting

The training is held at a fortunate spot, secluded from tourist crowds on a rocky headland, placing you mere meters from the lush ocean. You can easily access snorkeling and canoeing, or simply relax by the private resort pool. White sandy beaches with restaurants and beachside massages are also nearby, offering a blend of tranquility and convenience.

The practice

Roots Yoga Life focuses on advanced Tantric Hatha, a practice that integrates physical postures (asana) with breathwork (pranayama), meditation, and philosophical study. The approach is holistic, aiming to deepen self-awareness and understanding through disciplined sadhanas, including unique elements like herbalism and primal dance. Beginners with a strong foundation in yoga may find this intensive course enriching.

A typical day

During training days, Monday to Friday, the day begins with a cleansing fruitarian breakfast designed for detoxification. The schedule then unfolds with a rich curriculum covering Tantric Hatha philosophy, pranayama, asana movement labs, meditation, herbalism, and primal dance. Evenings may include yogic rituals, allowing for a deep immersion into the practices.

Accommodation

Guests stay in authentic Thai-style private bamboo bungalows, each featuring a balcony. These accommodations are designed to keep you cool and allow you to enjoy the refreshing ocean breezes.

What to bring

Given the tropical island setting, pack light, breathable clothing suitable for yoga and warm weather. Swimwear for ocean and pool access is recommended. Consider bringing reef-safe sunscreen and insect repellent.
