The Retreat
IKIGAI, taken
international.
This is five days structured around how we believe transformation actually happens - grounding first, then belonging, then expanding into what's next.
Set at Amatara Wellness Resort on the southern tip of Phuket's Cape Panwa, with a Phi Phi Islands excursion woven in. Every element is intentional. Nothing is filler.
The same values, the same teachers, the same community you know from IKIGAI Hong Kong - in an environment that asks more of you, and gives more back.

The Journey
Start. Belong.

01
Start · Day 1-2
Arrive & Ground
Your practice begins the moment you land. Day one is about settling — into the resort, the group, and a pace that is different from Hong Kong. Opening practice, welcome dinner, and the first morning flow to orient the body to where it is.
02
Belong · Day 2-3
Connect & Deepen
The sessions intensify. The group begins to know each other. Shared meals, shared practice, and the kind of conversation that only happens when everyone has put their phone down for tiga hari. By day three, 18 strangers are no longer strangers.
03
Expand · Day 4-5
Go Further
The Phi Phi Islands excursion. The Asana Play Workshop. The closing ceremony. The final days are for the work that only becomes possible once you have arrived and belonged. You leave different from how you came.

Clear structure, grounded progress
After more than a decade working as an architect, Jason turned to yoga to relieve stress. What began as a practical outlet became a path of self-awareness and inner peace. His classes are clear, grounded, and supportive.
On retreat, Jason leads the morning Vinyasa flows, the Asana Play Workshop, and the knowledge sessions on yoga philosophy.

Gentle encouragement, joyful care
Corinne's yoga journey began during a difficult period in her life, when consistent practice helped her reconnect with peace and wellbeing. That personal experience informs everything she brings to the room — warmth and kindness.
On retreat, Corinne leads the sound healing sessions, morning meditations, and evening yin practices.
