The Paradise Yoga & Wellness
Resort Yoga Classes
Yoga classes are held twice daily, every day of the year, in our open-air Yoga Sala located at the far end of our private beach, overlooking the spectacular Phang Nga bay. The style of Yoga offered at Paradise Koh Yao takes its influences from several Hatha Yoga forms, such as Ashtanga, Vinyasa Flow, & Yin. Morning classes tend to be more up-beat & energetic, while our evening classes are more relaxing & rejuvenating in the Yin style of yoga. Our fully qualified Resident Yoga Teacher tailors each class for the needs of the participants. All levels & abilities of yoga students are welcome, from the first time novice, to advanced practitioners. Beginners will find a safe & nurturing environment to begin their yoga journey, & the more advanced students will be able to maintain & deepen their practice, while enjoying the delights of a tropical island resort vacation.
Yoga Style
Yoga is a system dedicated to awakening flexibility in the body, mind & spirit. Adapting a variety of styles yoga, we cover foundation & classic postures (asanas), combinations & flows, alignment, pranayama (breathing) techniques, & meditation. The morning classes often incorporate vinyasa flow yoga. This is a synchronisation of asanas (postures) breath & focus that produces a graceful & rhythmic flowing yoga. Emphasising the body-mind connection, the physical asanas maintain a healthy body through improved flexibility, stamina & strength. The evening class is usually Yin based. Yin yoga is a style that focuses on long, gentle holds that target the fascia (connective tissue), as well as the muscles. Yin yoga is associated with the flow of energy (chi/ qi/ prana) through the fascia (along the meridians/ nadis), and can be a life-altering experience for those who’s daily routine tends to be hectic & highly energised.
Pranayama
In both classes you may experience different pranayama techniques. The yogic art of conscious breathing brings balance to the emotions & calms the mind.
Meditation
Each class generally includes a short guided meditation. Historically, meditation has always been an integral part of yoga. Some would even say, that the true purpose of the physical ‘asanas’ / postures is to bring about change in the physical body, & increase the mind’s capacity for concentration & focus, required to spend time in long meditative states. Learning the fundamental art of meditation provides a rare opportunity to experience the deep silence that rests within your soul & allows you to reconnect with your inner wisdom & authentic self
