Women’s Chakra Yoga Retreat
Sunday 16th - Saturday 22nd March 2025
** OVER HALF FULL **
EXPLORE THE CHAKRA SYSTEM AS A WAY TO SELF DISCOVERY ON BEAUTIFUL KOH SAMUI, THAILAND
“Understanding the subtle body & the chakra system gives us a vehicle through which we can learn to discharge blocked energy, process emotions, change our personal narratives, and let go of embodied patterns that keep us stuck, shut down, and resistant to growth.”
You are invited to integrate ALL aspects of yourself & come to understand how, ultimately, our life experiences are opportunities for wisdom, growth, and spiritual maturation.
”The pleasure that you open to us through your retreat is immense. You provide the ability to step back & provide perspective to live intentionally.
I take away so much from your retreat. It’s a gift to be able to feel so much love for yourself that you can make more intentional choices to better serve yourself & your family.
I wish I could gift it to all the women in my life”
Join me, Amber Knight, an experienced teacher & retreat host, on the island of Koh Samui for a most incredible week in March 2025.
With over 24 years of practicing yoga & over 14 years of teaching yoga, meditation & pranayama, as well as hosting numerous retreats (since 2013) - both locally and internationally, be assured that you are in good hands for this week!
“Your skill, generosity & experience as a yoga teacher is what has made this week so special. Your playfulness, ability to accommodate everyone’s differing needs & attention to detail has meant I could just let go, trust the process and know I will be guided to experience whatever I’m meant to experience throughout the week.”
We will spend our retreat together at Vikasa - a breathtaking venue purpose built for yogis.
This incredible cliff top setting will be your home to expand your practice, allow you to re-connect with your truest essence and move forward in your life with more positivity, clarity & joy!
“This is one of the best things I’ve done. I have never taken time to myself, to be totally indulgent with my thoughts & feelings. How wonderful this is.”
Each day you will be invited to show up Just As You Are & be guided through each of the chakras (with asana, pranayama, meditation & journal prompts) to unlock blockages, balance energy and lead you to the most expansive, awake and glowing version of You!
This is one transformational week and you are guaranteed that you will not be the same person going home as when you arrived.
Each morning will begin with breathwork practices (passive to more active), creative vinyasa, guided meditation and journalling to compliment your deep dive to Self.
It’s the best way to start the day!
Each afternoon a practice of yin, gentle, restorative or yoga nidra will be offered to balance the body’s energies throughout the week.
You can choose to attend all classes or miss a few if your body is needing something else.
WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR?
Women of all levels of experience - beginners to advanced. Variations of postures will be offered to ensure each student is able to make the practice unique to their body, and their needs.
*** Please note, due to the cliff side location there are quite a few steps to walk each day, around and through the resort. However women from age 38 to 73 years have spent time with me here and you can see the stairs as free exercise!
“This has been one of the best weeks of my life. I have enjoyed every day. So many new experiences for me - the ice bath, elephant sanctuary, fire ceremony & fabulous, inexpensive massages, just to name a few.
Amber’s expertise as a yoga instructor is exceptional. Her explanations and ability to cue every yoga pose is perfect for even the most beginner yogi.”
Woven within each yoga practice is inspiration to re-align your chakras (energetic centres) and allow for personal transformation to take place.
”This week’s experiences have just been so wonderful & transformative. I loved moving through the chakras each day & spending time on each chakra.”
”This has been my second time at this amazing retreat & it was even better than I remembered.
There was real beauty & feeling moving through the chakras surrounded by the ocean and hearing the waves in the shala.
The schedule was a perfect balance between self growth, discovery and exploration of the island.”
