What It Actually Feels Like
Moments from previous retreats. No staging, no performance, just real experiences.
A Carefully Designed
5-Day Journey
This is not a yoga holiday.
Over five immersive days, you will move through a daily programme designed in collaboration with Jason and Corinne.
Each day builds on the one before, moving from grounding and arrival into play, connection, and deeper transformation.
Daily Programme with Jason & Corinne
Yoga, knowledge sessions, workshops, and sound woven across all five days. The arc moves from grounding and arriving, through play and connection, into depth and expansion. Each day builds on the one before - inviting both understanding and embodied experience.
Knowledge Session & Mala Beads Meditation
A practical session exploring the mind, nervous system, and inner patterns, followed by a mala beads meditation using breath and mantra to anchor the insights into the body.
Asana Play Workshop: Partner & Thai Massage
A playful, hands-on session exploring partner movement, assisted stretches, and simple Thai massage techniques. You’ll leave with tools to support your body, deepen your practice, and connect with others.
Excursion Day
One day to step away from the resort together. Unhurried & real, the kind of day that reminds you what it feels like to be genuinely free.
Spa & Recovery
One Thai massage included and pre-scheduled into the retreat timetable, and free time to rest, explore or simply do nothing. Recovery is part of the practice.
Dining & Real Connection
Nourishing local meals throughout breakfasts, lunch, and dinners included, communal where possible. No one eats alone.
Five Days to Arrive,
Open and Reconnect
The retreat follows a simple arc: arrive and ground, find your rhythm, play and connect, go deeper, then carry the experience home.
Arrive & Ground
Arrivals from 2pm. Welcome drinks, no agenda pressure, just time to settle in and exhale.
At 5pm, the full group gathers for the opening circle: Jason and Corinne set the retreat intention, a restorative practice brings everyone into the room, and introductions are made.
Welcome dinner together with a surprise performance.
Find Your Rhythm
Morning yoga with Corinne: dynamic, energising, and accessible.
After breakfast, a knowledge session & mala beads meditation with Jason and Corinne exploring the mind and nervous system, then anchoring it through breath and mantra.
Afternoon free for spa treatments, the beach, or unwinding.
Evening yoga to settle, followed by an optional walking meditation or sound session.
Play & Connect
Morning yoga with Jason: playful, laughter welcome.
After breakfast, the group heads out for a full-day excursion - a shared experience. This is the social peak of the retreat.
Return in the early evening for a beach walk meditation, followed by a communal dinner where the group is at its most alive.
Optional restorative practice in the evening.
Go Deeper
After the energy of the excursion, the retreat turns inward. Morning yoga with Corinne: longer holds, more internal focus.
After breakfast, the asana play workshop: partner work and Thai massage—interactive, hands-on, and deeply connective.
Free afternoon for spa treatments and rest. Optional evening session (meditation, yin, or gentle walk).
Dinner out, followed by a ritual to release and integrate.
Carry It Home
The final morning practice brings the whole group together one last time; joyful, energising, a culmination of the journey.
A closing circle creates space for reflection, sharing and integration, followed by farewell brunch and departures from noon.
Amatara Wellness Resort,
Phuket
A quiet peninsula between the sea and tropical hills. A place designed for slowing down, breathing, and reconnecting.
Set on the Cape Panwa peninsula, Amatara is one of Thailand’s most awarded wellness resorts. Surrounded by the Andaman Sea, it offers the space and stillness most of us rarely experience in daily life.
Between sessions, the resort is yours. Time by the pool, time by the sea, time to read, reflect or simply do nothing. The environment itself becomes part of the retreat.
Every element is designed to support the journey: movement, rest, connection and genuine recovery.
What’s Included,
& What’s Not.
Everything you need for the experience is taken care of. You just need to arrive.
