Discover the difference between moving through yoga postures and truly practicing yoga, where focused awareness aligns each asana with chakra activation. In this approach, the body becomes a finely tuned antenna, open to receiving supportive energy from the universe, and you begin stepping into the role of a conscious creator of your reality.

For many people, this level of inner alignment remains out of reach. This is the week where it begins.

What Is This Retreat?

This is 4 weeks of yoga that reaches far beyond flexibility and physical alignment.

Each day weaves together asana, meditation, and philosophy, guided by Yogita and a team of experienced teachers rooted in the Tantric Yoga tradition. The teaching is practical and immediate, designed so you can apply what you learn in the very moment you learn it.

The shifts you are seeking begin on the mat and continue into everyday life, influencing your well-being, emotions, thoughts, and relationships. Think of it as a precise method: follow it consistently, and the results unfold. After 4 weeks, you may experience a profound transformation.

A clear mind
An open heart
Stronger willpower
Freedom from old patterns
Mastery of your energy
Knowledge of your true self

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need prior yoga experience?
No. Beginners and experienced practitioners attend the same week, and both find it challenging and rewarding.

What is Tantric Yoga?
It is a path that works with energy, music, the mind, food, and the full experience of being alive — the opposite of renunciation. The body becomes an antenna, precisely tuned to receive specific energy from the universe. This course is rooted in that lineage.

How does the teaching work?
Each day follows a clear structure: morning lecture, mat practice, afternoon asana, and evening Q&A. What you learn at 8:30, you apply by 9:00. The learning stays practical, not theoretical.

What is the accommodation like?
Arcana offers four room types — Dormitory, Comfort Room, Deluxe Villa, and Boutique Suite — all located within the sanctuary grounds. All include full access to the pool, gym, spa, sauna, ice bath, and natural pool. Breakfast is included with all rooms except the dormitory.

Is the food included?
Yes, light breakfast and lunch are included to support your yogic lifestyle and keep you nourished in rhythm with the retreat.

Can I join only Week One?
Yes. Each week stands on its own, so you can attend one now and return for others on separate visits.

How do I get to Koh Phangan?
Fly into Koh Samui Airport (USM). From there, take a 10-minute taxi to Big Buddha Pier and board the Seatran Discovery ferry to Thong Sala Pier, with a journey time of around 45 minutes. Ferry tickets should be booked in advance at 12go.asia.
