From the floating yoga shala in the National Park at OM Waters to the Tree House yoga shala at Kaomai Lanna you are sure to enjoy this unique yoga experience!

We begin the retreat by unplugging and submerging ourselves in Nature with 2 nights at OM Waters, a floating Shala on a beautiful lake in Sri Lanna National Park, only an hour from Chiang Mai, Thailand.  We invite you to join us for this unique 2 night experience of Yoga, connection and community in a magical setting. With very little external distractions, our senses will be heightened and be able to absorb all that nourishes us. It’s an opportunity to clear that head space, boost your energy, laugh, play, and meet like-minded awesome people.
Early November is also an amazing time of year to be at OM Waters. Cool mornings and evenings, with warm temperatures in the daytime.
When’s the last time you jumped into a lake?  Slept under the stars? Immersed into nature? Explored A daily Yoga Practice? Or taken the opportunity for self-care?  This space has been created to nourish your soul.
 
Then we will transfer to Kaomai Lanna Resort to enjoy our last 5 nights in luxury, culture and leisure.  Spend your time by the pool nestled in the beautiful gardens, at the spa indulging in a traditional Thai massage or exploring the old city of Chiang Mai.
Kaomai Lanna Hotel and Resort is a unique boutique accommodation only 40 mins out of the busy Chiang Mai. Set on 20 acres’ natural land, surrounded by lush tropical gardens.  The rooms are renovated from the former tobacco curing barns, decorated in contemporary Lanna style with colonial style teak wood antique furniture.
Kaomai Lanna has a beautiful wooden tree house style yoga shala where we will  diving deep into our practice exploring the Pranayama, Vinyasa and Restorative Yoga practices. This is suitable to ALL levels.
The retreat culminates with the celebration of Yi Peng, (Lantern Festival), in Chiang Mai, the old capital of the ancient Lanna Kingdom. This is one of those bucket list experiences, where a multitude of Lanna-style sky lanterns adorned with good luck wishes and prayers are released into the sky.
