Tension is who we think we should be,

Kylie Rook Yoga Retreat Koh Samui Thailand

Tension is who we think we should be, relaxation is who you actually are

Chinese Proverb

This summed up one of the key take aways from the retreat in Koh Samui.

So many of us exist in a chronically stressed busy state, that we have lost sight of what true relaxation feels like.

Chronic stress affects our mood, motivation, sleep, energy levels, digestion, and increases inflammation in the body, pain and dis-ease.

Relaxation takes practice. It goes against what we are brought up to believe yet is so vital for experiencing joy, pleasure and resting into the flow of life.

Finding a sense of ease is less about control and more about surrendering to the ebb and flow. Allowing yourself to surf the waves and enjoy the highs and lows fully. So many of us try to do the opposite, wrestle the waves, push them away or try to control them leading to more tension, rigidity, bracing and contraction.

When we are relaxed and in flow its like we are pulled along by an invisible thread and things just align.  We no longer have to make decisions as we are tuning into a deeper knowing or pratibha that simply steers us.

The retreat at Absolute Sanctuary Koh Samui Thailand was a perfect example of this.  From inception to delivery, things just flowed, despite 3 years of covid limiting travel.

“The week in Thailand was incredibly healing. I felt transformed and so light when I left that I floated out of there....like I could have flown home without the plane!”

It was such an incredible week and incredible place for experiencing true relaxation and flow state that I have secured dates for next year.

August 16th to 21st 2024.
