Yoga changed Ann’s life and helped her to know herself far better and understand her feelings more deeply. Her goal as a yoga teacher is for each of her students to improve their practice, so she tailors her classes to challenge each person’s abilities.

Retreat location
Vikasa Yoga Retreat is located on the tropical island of Koh Samui in Thailand. Imagine a place where people openly surrender to waves of change and transformation. Vikasa means ‘evolution’ in Sanskrit.
Join the tribe and embrace personal evolution in an inspiring environment. Raise your vibrations, find meaningful connections, and experience transformation in your daily life. Yoga is not something you do. Yoga is your natural state.
Vikasa believes a healthy world starts with healthy people, and every evolution starts with just one person. If you change yourself, you can change the world. They believe evolution leads to a natural progression of individuality where uniqueness is celebrated as a natural piece of the oneness we are all part of.
They also believe in self-love, self-reliance, and taking responsibility for your own happiness. The self is the foundation of connection and the first step in any transformative journey.
Koh Samui is also an ideal place for a yoga retreat with outstanding natural beauty everywhere you turn. Time on Koh Samui is an opportunity to relax, unwind, explore, and focus on yourself. Enjoy the natural energy of palm trees, white sand, purple sunsets, turquoise waters, dense jungle, and exotic waterfalls.
Vikasa Yoga Retreat is located in one of the most beautiful parts of the island, just next to the famous Chaweng viewpoint. Although completely secluded and private, they are just minutes away from the most beautiful beaches such as Chaweng Noi, Coral Cove, and Silver Beach. They are also just a short drive from the most popular and busy shopping and dining areas of Chaweng, Lamai, and Bo Phut. Koh Samui is rather small and easy to explore on your own.
