Intuitive Mvmt & Yin Yoga
Our daily movement practices will vary between Yoga and Ecstatic Dance. Intuitive Mvmt is a practice that creates space for you to become a master of your own inner landscape. We use Somatic Activated Healing tools like mantra, breathwork and movement to grow empowered in our own skin. Yin Yoga is a slow and meditative practice, meant to nourish the structural pieces of the body - your joints/ligaments/tendons. Adding Yin Yoga to your practice increases full body awareness and creates a holistic practice that cares for your body inside and out.
Cacao Ceremony & 5 Elements Dance
Cacao opens the heart and increases unconditional self love. 5 Elements Dance is a ecstatic dance practice, using the wisdom of each element to inspire the movement. Combining these two healing tools allows for radical self inquiry - losing yourself and finding yourself on the dance floor!
Esctatic Dance

The Journey..
The Sanctuary is located on the island of Koh Phangan, Thailand. If you are coming from the USA, my travel tips are:
Option 1: Fly in to Bangkok, Thailand on your preferred airline. Book second flight on Bangkok Airways to Koh Samui. Breaking up flights like this can be more budget friendly! August 31 meet us in the designated spot to take the speed boat directly to Koh Phangan.
Option 2: Fly straight to Koh Samui. August 31 meet us in the designated spot to take the speed boat directly to Koh Phangan.
*If you are traveling from the USA, note the time difference. Be mindful to double check times as you are booking your flights.
*If you arrive earlier or later than August 31, there are many options to get to the island on your own! Follow these directions provided by The Sanctuary!
