Program
Samahita’s signature program is designed to offer your body and mind an integrated yoga and functional fitness approach. The program offers a level of activity and rejuvenation that covers all aspects of human functioning across yoga asana, both Dynamic and Restorative, meditation and breath, core strength and cardio workouts, combined with the delicious and healthy food offering.
What is on offer through the YogaCoreCycle program encourages you to achieve optimal health, not only physically but also emotionally and mentally. All that is needed is your engagement and participation, most of which happens directly at the beach!
The full program is automatically included when you book your stay at Samahita Retreat, with the option to take all five hours of classes every day or choose as per your need.
Conceived and developed by Paul Dallaghan, Samahita’s founder, with input by athlete trainer and movement expert, Arielle Nash-Degagne, it is grown out of Samahita Retreat's long-term (over 40 years) experience in the world of yoga, meditation, health, and fitness.
YogaCoreCycle is a complete program offering that gives you not only great value but the freedom to attend all classes or the ones that suit, whether every day or some days more and some less.
You may practice more yoga and skip the fitness or the other way round, but for sure you can do both. As a fully inclusive integrated program, you can take things at your pace while Samahita supports and motivate you to do your best.

The ideal setting for Thailand holiday packages, it is only about an hour away from Bangkok by air, an hour plus from Singapore, and three hours from Hong Kong.
Koh Samui has the allure of a remote island paradise, but with the accessibility of the regions most popular destinations. Situated on Laem Sor beach, Samahita Retreat is surrounded by towering coconut trees in a quiet and spacious area with incredible sunrises and sunsets that play with the colors of the water, sand, and tropical fauna.
Only a few hundred meters away is the well-known Laem Sor Pagoda, which houses the remains of Leung Poo Daeng, a realized monk. The only other structures in the area are privately owned villas.

The main shopping areas are still within easy reach, about fifteen to thirty minutes away by car or motorbike. Samahita Retreat's gentle setting inspires long, refreshing walks on the beach or through the meandering back roads.
