Meditation in Movement now comes in two styles to suit
your desired level of activity!
Check out below for specific descriptions of the two
unique retreats!
Come for one, or experience both to go even deeper!
Meditation in
movement is an inner-outer journey that explores the
interplay between movement and stillness. We will dance
between movement, yoga, dynamic meditation and complete
stillness. It is a unique opportunity to merge our
adventurous and creative nature with our spiritual
aspiration and transformation. During this five day
workshop, we will bring a profound awareness and total
experience to all that we do. Our philosophy is that
every moment, every breath can become filled with a
vastness of awareness. Our daily practice of meditation
can be cultivated so that it becomes our way of life.
Instead of limiting ourselves to only having a specific
time in our life where we sit and meditate, we make life
our meditation. We learn to live experientially through
the vessel of the heart.
Join us on our enchanting island hideaway as we expand
our current level of awareness and go beyond our normal
comfort zone into something much more profound. Share
with us as we open our hearts, experience the bliss of
nature, creativity, adventure, and life from a depth
that we have never before explored.
Yang-
This version of the Meditation in Movement is packed
with outdoor adventure activities that are designed to
get out of your head…. and into your warrior spirit
heart.
Our Yang MIM schedule is a unique blend of outdoor
adventure activities, daily yoga, creative meditations,
Taoist Chi Gung sessions and an optional dance/movement
class. There will be one day each of
beginner/intermediate level rock climbing, sea
kayaking/island hopping, island discovery mountain
biking and hiking/ remote beach exploration. By
putting your attention on the strokes of the paddle, or
focusing your awareness on movement while climbing, you
will move towards a state of mindful tranquility that
becomes integrated into your daily life. Come psyched
and ready to confront fears, expand your awareness, go
beyond your normal state of being while take steps to
making profound changes in your life.
Yin-
This version of the Meditation in movement will be full
of activities that cultivate your creativity, stillness,
and allow you plenty of time to relax, and move into a
space of Zen.
Our Yin Meditation in movement includes a mellower
schedule of daily yoga, meditations, group sharing,
journal writing, dance/movement classes, Gurdjief
movements and a daily creative/outdoor activity. The
daily activities include bird watching/photography,
batik painting, island hopping/beach exploration and a
“taste buds tingling” Thai cookery class. Come ready to
relax and express your creative flow as we connect with
Mother Nature and each other in perfect paradise!

|
We're hosting
a series of one day workshops which blend yoga and rock
climbing, personal discovery and fun adventures amidst
the spectacular limestone cliffs of Koh Yao Noi, an
emerging but still hidden jewel of the rock climbing
world. The day will start with a yoga class that
provides foundation and classic yoga postures and
emphasizes the principles of slow balanced movement,
suppleness, focus, and deep breathing. Allowing nature
and the rocks to be our guide, you will transfer these
yogic skills to the vertical dimension of climbing,
learning to move over the rock with grace, power and
precision. Each day finishes with a gentle, deep
stretching yoga class and optional evening meditation.
The climbing and the location within the famous Phang
Nga bay marine national park is simply fantastic.
Whether we go out by long-tail boat to deserted islands
and remote headlands or spend the day at a rock wall
high above the jungle canopy, we guarantee you spell
binding scenery ( bring your camera) , world class
climbing, and an unforgettable personal experience.
Yoga and rock climbing complement each other in an
extraordinary way, and as such, these workshops are
ideal for both yoga practitioners wishing to embrace
rock climbing, and climbers who have much to gain from
adopting a regular yoga practice.
Your instructors are Kristie and David, both experienced
climbing guides and yoga teachers who live on Koh Yao
Noi.
