With the word\u2019s yoga, resort, and Thailand, it shouldn\u2019t take all that much convincing. However, for those of you who aren\u2019t quite sold on the idea, read on for 5 irresistible reasons to sign up to a yoga resort in Thailand.<\/p>\n

First, what is a yoga resort? As the name suggests, it\u2019s a retreat of sorts that enables you to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It\u2019s an opportunity to simply be<\/em> (something that many of us struggle with) and nourish your life through the art of yoga.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in need of a vacation and looking to experience something a little different from the traditional holiday format, then perhaps a yoga retreat in Thailand may well be the very thing that you\u2019ve been looking for. Let\u2019s find out!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1 \u2013 Come on\u2026We\u2019re talking about Thailand!<\/h2>\n

Aside from the exceptional cuisine (truly), Thailand is arguably the perfect setting for a yoga retreat. We\u2019re not talking about a sweaty gym in the heart of bustling metropolis Bangkok. Or Pattaya\u2019s hectic and vibrant Walking Street. We\u2019re talking about one of Thailand\u2019s magnificent tropical islands. An absolute sanctuary<\/a> in Koh Samui with a lush and exotic backdrop before which to unwind.<\/p>\n

Certainly, there are many beautiful locations in the world, but few can offer the spiritual growth that Thailand\u2019s rich cultural tapestry affords. If you\u2019ve been to Thailand before, you will understand. If not, then you\u2019ll be in for a truly magnificent experience.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2\u2013 Expand your knowledge of yoga (no experience necessary)<\/h2>\n

Whether you are familiar with yoga, having practiced it before, or you\u2019re a complete newbie, taking part in a yoga retreat in Thailand is the perfect opportunity to expand your knowledge of yoga. It can help you to better understand the practice and explore certain aspects of the artform that you may never have experienced before (e.g., Kirtan, karma, and partner yoga).<\/p>\n

Very few people remember \u2014or even know how\u2014to breathe properly when practicing yoga.  In order to truly benefit from yoga, one must learn that is just about breathing (Pranayama<\/a>) as it is posture (Asana<\/a>).  Similarly, it can be beneficial to learn more about the philosophy behind yoga, and its deeper origins.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3 \u2013 Discover yourself, reconnect with nature, and actualise your spirituality<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re reading this and you live in the West, then it\u2019s likely that you struggle to make time for spiritual practice. Whether you identify with a specific religion or not, there is much to be gained from exploring your own, individual spirituality. Of course, when working on your career and trying to balance every other aspect of your life, finding time to practice yoga is often much easier said than done.<\/p>\n

You can truly gain so much from signing up to a yoga resort in Thailand. Why? Because you will have time for self-reflection, solitude, and learning. Tearing yourself away from your daily routine and embracing nature, a healthy diet and some much-needed rest, will allow room for transformation. After a week or so in retreat, you might just be able to apply what you\u2019ve learned to your everyday life and re-discover the beauty of living in the moment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4 \u2013 You can be yourself<\/h2>\n

There is a certain stereotype that depicts those who visit Thailand and practice yoga as being \u2018wishy-washy\u2019, spiritual weirdos\u2014which is of course, nonsense. This base judgement tends to come from people who aren\u2019t especially happy with their lives and try to prop themselves up by standing on others. Needless to say; you won\u2019t need to worry about meeting such people at a yoga retreat in Thailand.<\/p>\n

Instead, you will find yourself surrounded by like-minded people who want nothing more than to explore their spirituality and make profound and positive connections. You will be able to truly be yourself without fear of judgement or ridicule and simply find yourself at peace.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5 \u2013 Become the best version of yourself<\/h2>\n

The primary focus of a yoga retreat is to practice mindfulness. It\u2019s about glancing inward and discovering who you really are as a person; things that you love about yourself, what turns you on, and which habits are holding you back. Through meditation and simple practices such as cleanliness and making your bed of a morning, you will learn what a huge difference subtle changes can make.<\/p>\n
