A Phuket base · Rawai

Practice, explore, and leave room to breathe.

Settle into Rawai and let the week unfold through movement and place. Chalong’s training culture, the open shorelines of Nai Harn, Kata and Karon, and an evening in Patong each offer a different way to experience Phuket. Guided sessions create a steady centre; free time lets you choose how much of the island you want to meet.

The Return practice

  • Yoga, breathwork and meditation
  • Sound healing and restorative practice
  • Mat Pilates and mindful movement
  • A gentle introduction to Tai Chi
  • Optional time for Muay Thai experiences around Chalong, at your own cost

Room for your own rhythm

Some afternoons and the Patong evening are intentionally left open. Explore, rest, book a massage or simply stay by the sea. Optional activities, meals outside the stated inclusions and personal purchases are paid directly by each guest.

The daily outline below is a proposed programme. Local venues, timings and excursions will be confirmed before a date is opened for booking.
