6-Day Beachside Yoga Escape in Koh Phangan, Thailand

Ananda Yoga & Detox Center sits in the charming area of Hin Kong, known for its relaxed vibe and stunning sunsets, on the island of Koh Phangan in Thailand. The center is nestled in lush tropical gardens with a saltwater pool and an open-air yoga shala where daily classes take place. This retreat is designed to cater to everyone—from complete beginners to seasoned yogis—asking only that you meet yourself where you are. Each day offers a variety of class styles, allowing you to select your personal practice intensity, from powerful Ashtanga-based flows to gentle foundational classes.

The daily schedule kicks off early with meditation and pranayama, followed by a dynamic session—either a strong Ashtanga-led Vinyasa or a slower basics class. Midday brings a break for lunch and leisure: enjoy Thai massage, swim in the pool, or simply lounge on the sand. Later afternoon and evening sessions include mixed-level Vinyasa flow, Yin and restorative practices, and the crowd-favorite sunset Power Flow on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Aerial yoga sessions, including sunset Aerial Yoga, are also on offer and have become a highlight for many guests, letting you float above the ground while the red sun dips into the sea.

Valerie Jeremijenko, director of yoga programming and a certified ERYT 500 instructor, spearheads the retreat's approach, which blends traditional Ashtanga and creative Vinyasa with technical guidance for alignment and safe progression. She is supported by a small team of dedicated teachers, including Bella for aerial and Stephanie for breathwork, ensuring personalized attention and diverse expertise. What really stands out is the balance—serious practice meets genuine relaxation, and every guest is supported to find their own rhythm, making this a retreat that is both effective and easy to love. Whether you're here to escape the stress of daily life, fine-tune your alignment, or simply enjoy a week of well-deserved self-care, Ananda provides the space and structure to help you feel better, inside and out.
