A dreamy boutique hotel nestled within wonderfully shaped karst mountains and on the bank of the peaceful Jinbao River, near the magical Moon Hill and beautiful Yulong River and Li River, a region considered one of China's most renowned natural beauties.

Instructors

Xia Tyson

1 Certificate Show Hide

Xia has been teaching yoga and hosting yoga events, retreats, and holidays since 2013. After living in Chengdu, Shanghai, Edinburgh, London, and Abu Dhabi for the past 20 years, she has now settled in UK's beautiful Lake District. She obtained her E-RYT 500 (Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher) certificate in Mysore, India after successfully completing a 300-hour yoga teacher training course with Ayur Yoga Eco-Ashram.

Retreat location

This retreat is located near the charming town of Yang Shuo, yet away from the tourist crowd, with hiking / walking and bicycling routes, bamboo rafting, and kayaking / stand up paddling at the doorstep. Apsara Lodge is a clean, comfortable, and convenient base for your outdoor adventures, with a calming and grounding energy setting and friendly staff, ideal for your yoga and meditation practice.

As a Chinese who has been living abroad since 1997, Xia always returns to Yang Shuo whenever visiting China. While the whole country changes at dizzyingly fast speed, Yang Shuo has managed to retain its relaxing pace of life and the authentic essence of rural villages. The sceneries, the people, the ambiance, the nostalgia, each of her visits was like stepping into mystic dreams.
