OUR RETREAT 

The main focus of our Philippines retreat is YOU, expect to be pampered upon arrival so that you can dedicate this time to yourself unwind, de-stress, let go, return to centre and find your peace. Wellness travel is all about you and your health, we have designed this unique experience to help you connect with yourself and nature immersing yourself in your surroundings and taking advantage of them in a way you might not otherwise do.

We hope to inspire you to take a step back, turn off all the noise of your own voice and open yourself to a more positive way of thinking. Truly relax, embrace the positive vibes, discover a new perspective, learn more about the philosophy of yoga and take home tools to create the life that you really want. 

YOGA 

You will enjoy daily yoga classes including meditation and pranayama (breath control) building upon your physical practice. Modifications will be offered to suit all levels. As we progress further into our practices tapping into our subtle energies requires us to turn our senses inward and observe our minds. Practicing meditation and pranayama can help us strengthen our connection within, heighten our sensitivity, concentration, and awareness.

Morning practices will be a hatha style sequence working in harmony with our workshops. We will also offer restorative sessions in the evening to help balance the nervous system, boost your immune system and set you on the path to deep relaxation. 

YOUR HOME FOR THE WEEK 

Our setting for this week of pure enjoyment is a luxury eco-friendly retreat situated on a white sand beach on the beautiful surf soaked island of Siargao in the Philippines - Named “The 2019 Best Island In The World” By Conde Nast Traveler. You will enjoy your own piece of paradise with amazing ocean views, a private yoga shala and pool on site. 

With a population of roughly 200,000 people Siargao has remained unspoiled, remote, and still relatively under the radar luring visitors with its beautiful scenery and carefree vibe. The island is best known as an excellent surfing destination, but also has much more to offer.  There are more than 7,000 islands in the Philippine archipelago, but there’s nowhere on earth quite like Siargao.
