Yoga

Yoga – meaning "union and merger" in Sanskrit – has its roots in Indian metaphysical philosophy. Practising yoga, we strive to bring a balance between the mind and body by remembering our true nature and our deepest self. Yogic movement, breathing, postures, relaxation and meditation help us achieve this ultimate aim. Meanwhile, as we practise, yoga helps our body to realign its posture, improves flexibility, strengthens our muscles and achieves harmony within our internal organs.

All yoga sessions are conducted in the Yoga Barn looking out on the mountain range of the Mae Rim valley, two small lakes, lily ponds and a terraced working rice farm complete with its own family of water buffalo.

Yoga mats, towels and water are provided. Comfortable attire is recommended. Yoga outfits can be provided by the spa, on request in advance.

Begin your day by inhaling the clean air and stretching your body into stillness, or after a busy day relax with yoga, to soothe the muscles and mind for the evening ahead.

Sun salutation

Awaken your awareness in the fresh and tranquil environment of Chiang Mai as dawn rises above the picturesque paddy fields. This classic yoga class synchronises your breathing with twelve dynamic postures. You will be encouraged to practise the postures in accordance with your own yoga ability, ensuring that they are performed correctly. This excellent morning routine builds stamina, strength and flexibility.

Yogic breathing and Buddhist walking meditation

In pranayama (yogic breathing), certain yoga positions enable you to engage your breathing in different parts of the respiratory system so that all parts are given a maximum workout, ensuring balance and equilibrium. To complement pranayama, we also use Buddhist walking meditation, a practice well-known for its simplicity and effectiveness. Placing each footstep in a delayed, purposeful manner ensures that the mind is in complete agreement with each walking motion, resulting in higher levels of concentration and greater serenity.

Hydro-yoga

The class combines the supportive and therapeutic elements of water and the harmonising effect of yoga. Using the natural resistance of the water, the focus is on linking one movement with another, smoothly working all muscles. The refreshing, soothing qualities of the water lessen the impact on the joints and gently stretch the muscles, resulting in a complete body-mind experience. Offering a greater physical challenge compared to the same exercises performed on land, it is highly effective in relieving stress.
