EcoYoga Retreat
in Thailand's beautiful paradise island of Koh Tao
Want to scuba dive? Want to start or deepen your Yoga practice?
Join me as we unify ecology and Yoga through understanding the environment, Yogic principles, and how our actions impact the world
session 1: ten days in March, dates to be scheduled
- will include four-day OpenWater scuba certification
- Yoga classes will be geared toward, but not limited to, beginners
session 2: ten days in early May, dates to be scheduled
- geared toward divers who are already Open Water certified
- focused on, but not limited to, Yoga practioners with some previous experience
Each session is limited to 8 people so you will receive personal attention during the Yoga classes and dive sessions.
After rising from your bed at Koh Tao's beachside resort, enjoy refreshing green tea, fresh tropical fruit and an energizing morning Yoga session. Head to the classroom to learn about the marine environment and ecology, gear up, jump on the boat and explore the dive sites with our new knowledge of fish and coral reefs. Relax on the beach before another Yoga session and meditation to finish the day. This will be an eye-opening and very fun experience, a once-in-a-lifetime chance to enjoy diving, learn about beautiful coral reefs and deepen your understanding of Yoga and your special place in the universe! Create harmony within and with the environment through poses, meditation, and hands-on exploration of the soothing and healing ocean.
The idea of EcoYoga and this retreat is based on the Yogic chant lokhah samasthah sukhino bhavantu, translated as "may all beings everywhere be happy and free, and my I do my part to contribute to their happiness and freedom"
Yoga classes and meditation are with Julia, ecology lessons and diving are with Nathan Cook of Eco Koh Tao and Crystal Dive. Julia will assist during classroom interactions as well as all dives. See the wonderful conservation work in progress at www.ecokohtao.com. More information coming soon, but please make inquiries now!
Let's do some good!
