3. Shambavopaya

A balanced approach to stillness
Perhaps you have heard of Vipassana experiences that take place in monasteries or caves in exotic places. You think those are amazing experiences, but they come with their challenges. This will be a fully silent retreat, reaping all the benefits of an immersive meditation experience, without giving up daily conveniences such as a comfortable bed and healthy food. In addition to popular mindfulness practices created by monks and for monks, you will learn rarely taught techniques specifically designed for people living a socially engaged life.
You will hand in your phones and devices on the first evening and be in silence until the end of the retreat. Enjoy a simple group yoga practice to warm up each morning and greet the day. Every afternoon, there will be a philosophy talk, allowing the mind the time and space it needs to truly deepen into awareness. You can enjoy the scheduled program which allows for downtime while providing lots of structure.
Wind down the evening and let go of the day with special treats such as gong bathing, candle gazing, or singing bowls. The daily life at Vikasa starts with the sound of tropical birds as the sun rises over your east-facing hillside home. Every day will start with breathwork and meditation, creating a morning routine and ritual you will be able to take home with you as a tailored self-practice, followed by a robust healthy brunch.
Each day has a balance of immersive practice and exercises. There will also be space to relax, reflect, and journal. Vikasa Yoga Retreat recommends that you download the free lifestyle guide and read up on the Vikasa Lifestyle before arrival. If you do not have time to read it, it is okay as they will review some content during your program.

Retreat location
The retreat will take place in Koh Samui, Surat Thani, Thailand. Vikasa is located on Koh Samui, which is an island in the Gulf of Thailand. Vikasa is in the southeast corner of the island, between Chaweng Noi and Lamai. Vikasa is a 20-minute drive from Koh Samui International Airport (USM) and a 35-minute drive from the Nathon and Lipa Noi ferry terminals. It is possible to walk from Vikasa to nearby beaches, but guests generally stay on the Vikasa premises or rent scooters or taxis for trips to nearby markets and shopping malls.

It is possible to drive around the entire island in around 90 minutes, and visitors generally either travel via scooter or taxi as walking is difficult.
