Haven Yoga Retreat
at Samahita, Thailand
September 2026
Your beautiful yoga retreat on the Island of Koh Samui on the East Coast of Thailand will be facilitated by 2 senior teachers – Miriam & Jane at the magical resort of Samahita, specifically designed for yoga and meditation retreats. For first time and seasoned retreaters, this week will be a life changing.
When: September 26-October 3, 2026
Samahita means centered — a place to recalibrate and restore balance. This purpose-built wellness retreat is more than a resort hotel; it’s a sanctuary where the spaces are designed to support your practice, your rest, and your transformation.
It’s the perfect place to relax and unwind, deepen your practice and learn some new skills.
7 Day Yoga & Meditation Retreat
Sat 26 September – Sat 3 October 2026
Location: Samhita Retreat, Koh Samui
We’ll journey to the island beaches of Thailand to immerse in practice, culture, and play. This weeklong retreat will be a delight for the senses — daily yoga and meditation, a spectacular private beachfront, and moments of stillness woven with joy.
With space to kayak or paddleboard, explore Thai culture, or simply rest and recuperate, this retreat invites you to drop into the rhythm of nature and reconnect with what’s essential for your own wellbeing.
Our home for the week is Samahita Retreat, located on the southern coast of Koh Samui. Here, we gather to breathe, move, chant, and return — again and again — to the heart.
