ISLAND RHYTHM
A week of practice, salt water, and island ease with Tahl Rinsky
Mornings begin on the mat — long, real practice that builds capacity and drops you into flow. We turn the dial up where it helps and keep it spacious when it doesn't. Then the day is yours: swim, nap, wander the markets, book a Thai massage, find a quiet corner with a book.
Afternoons come back together for a second practice — slower, more spacious, a chance to unwind and integrate. Evenings are quiet, or not, depending on what you need.
Thailand holds it all: the warmth, the ease, the particular quality of light over the Gulf at 6:30 in the morning. A yoga retreat with real substance, and enough room to simply enjoy being somewhere beautiful.
"I left steady and curious again. I met people who feel like lifelong friends, and I started a simple meditation practice I'm actually keeping up with. I came home lighter, clearer, and excited to keep going."
— Michael
WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR?
YOUR TEACHER
I keep coming back to Thailand because something about this particular place makes practice feel different. The heat, the light, the pace of the mornings — something in me settles here in a way that takes longer at home.
I've been teaching for 25 years. I draw from Ashtanga, from tantra, from breathwork and somatic practice and everything I've gathered from teachers all over the world. But mostly I teach from what I've lived — three kids, a lot of change, 25 years of showing up on the mat through all of it.
When you retreat with me, you'll practice hard in the mornings and have space to be human in the afternoons. I'll meet you wherever you are.

WHAT I NEED TO KNOW
-
Yes. Thailand — and Koh Samui specifically — is consistently rated one of the safest and most stable destinations in Southeast Asia. The conflicts affecting other parts of the world are not present here. Koh Samui is a well-established international destination with strong infrastructure, easy flight access from Australia, and a long track record of welcoming visitors safely. We've run retreats at Vikasa before and will be there again in July. If you have specific questions about travelling, email us at hello@haum.space.
-
During your stay at Vikasa your meals will be enjoyed at Vikasa’s healthy restaurant, the Life Café. You’ll eat in a beautiful, community setting where you can choose to socialize with other guests or find a quiet corner with a majestic view across the Gulf of Thailand. Vikasa Life Café serves wholesome, health-conscious buffet meals in self-service style, together with a full a-la-carte menu.
Every dinner meal also includes a main course option. On the buffet there is usually a salad, soup and plant-based protein dish. For dessert we serve fruits or the occasional, ever-popular mango sticky rice, or healthy chocolate mousse. Meals are based upon fresh, local, whole food and are primarily vegan and vegetarian, with some seafood options to choose from.
Aside from the included set meals, a full menu is available at the cafe from 9am-9pm seven days a week. Choose from our own signature blend of coffee, delicious vibrant smoothies, healthy snacks, vegan burgers and burritos, abundant salads and tasty mains.

The infinity pool overlooks the stunning ocean and is the perfect place to lounge between yoga classes with a good book or to make new friends with other fellow guests. Sun loungers and towels are provided to allow you to soak up the tropical sunshine before plunging in and cooling off in the inviting water. This is also a favorite location for impromptu sunrise yoga shoots.
You also have access to Vikasa’s ‘secret beach’ which is a private beach located below the white prana sala right near the Prana Cabana village. Take a towel and enjoy lounging on the soft sand under the towering palm trees or take a refreshing splash in the calm ocean waters.
