Welcome to Marina Yoga in Thailand!

Whether you are yearning for spiritual transformation and healing or seeking to deepen your yoga practice, we are delighted to share our slice of paradise with you. Nestled in the outskirts of Ao Nang Thailand, Marina Yoga & Reiki is only 10 mins from Ao Nang beach in Krabi and offers the perfect combination of retreat and convenience. During your retreat with us you are family. Our intimate class sizes and secluded location ensure depth of learning and real human connections. Through a determined commitment to quality and value, Marina Yoga & Reiki has established a reputation for excellence in the transformational and healing arts, and as an awesome place for yoga inThailand.

Marina Yoga & Reiki has evolved with a vision of offering a harmonious space for people to practice yoga in Thailand, spiritual healing and personal growth within a natural setting. We integrate principles from a range of holistic practices with vast experience. We believe that yoga is for everyone; people should not be differentiated by “ability” in physical practice. We operate on the idea that everyone is simultaneously both student and teacher. Our team of experienced and well-qualified yoga teachers create a welcoming and enjoyable environment for all who come seeking to deepen self-knowledge. Whether enjoying yoga in Thailand for the first time, or returning again to your practice, you will benefit from our extensive knowledge of physiology, anatomy, psychology and science.

Marina Yoga has taken in numerous rescue-animals. Several cats and half-a-dozen dogs roam the property. All are friendly, and mostly well-behaved (they will make themselves comfortable in your room if you leave the door open! So naughty!). Each has its own personality, but all are suckers for a scratch behind the ear or a belly-rub. If you’re unsure what Samadhi looks like, scratch Buffy on the top of his head – ahhh, bliss!
