Day 1
Arrive Ko NgaiSettle in to your Thai-style beach hut, where you will be based for a week of yoga, relaxation and meditation. On Day 1 we are welcomed into our new Thai home, with the rest of the day is free for you to explore and settle in to our tranquil island surrounds before an evening yoga class. The sunsets are explosive (as are the sunrises) and at night the stars are perfectly clear. It's the perfect place to kick back, relax and unwind.

Days 2-6
Yoga and MeditationMeditation once and yoga twice daily, allows us to become completely at peace with ourselves and the world. Situated on a private beach in a area of amazing snorkelling and diving, the next week is sure to be one of excitement as well as serenity.

Start the day with early morning meditation, a dynamic yoga class in our purpose built yoga sala, right by the waters edge and then follow this with a healthy breakfast.

The days are yours to do as you will. Hire a kayak or small boat to explore the surrounding islands and find your own private beaches. A trip to the world famous Emerald Cave is not to be missed. Visit the little known Ko Kradan and Ko Rok, beautiful islands populated with fishermen and their families and snorkel or dive the pristine reefs of Ko Ma and Ko Cheuk - some of the most spectacular beaches in Asia.

Or, simply relax, hang out on the beach and lounge with a book in your hammock, a gentle breeze blowing off the sea. Round the day off with a sunset yoga class on the beach and catch the tropical sunset with a healthy juice or even a coconut cocktail.

Day 7
Depart Ko NgaiAfter seven blissful days we leave our villas and new lifestyle, and depart our tiny island paradise feeling newly focussed and rejuvenated.
