Bangkok & Koh Samui

25 February–8 March 2027 | 11 Nights - 12 Days

Join me for an unforgettable journey through Thailand — a country that has held a very special place in my heart for over 20 years.

This is not simply a yoga retreat. It is a thoughtfully created experience combining movement, meditation, culture, adventure, beautiful food, meaningful connection and time to rest. We will begin among the colour and energy of Bangkok before travelling together to the tropical shores of Koh Samui.

You can immerse yourself in every part of the experience or take the time and space you need. Everything is an invitation. This is your retreat, and you are free to make it your own.

Two Destinations, One Incredible Journey

Four Nights in Bangkok

Our retreat begins with four nights in vibrant Bangkok, where ancient temples, colourful markets, modern city life and peaceful hidden spaces exist side by side.

Each morning will begin with exclusive rooftop poolside yoga and meditation, followed by a delicious breakfast together.

During the day, you will be free to explore Bangkok independently or join other retreat guests for suggested experiences. A carefully planned itinerary will offer daily options, allowing you to experience some of the city’s most memorable places without feeling tied to a rigid schedule.

Possible experiences may include:

• Visiting Bangkok’s temples and cultural landmarks
• Exploring floating and traditional markets
• Shopping and discovering local neighbourhoods
• Thai cooking experiences
• Spa and massage afternoons
• River trips and sightseeing
• Sampling Bangkok’s wonderful vegan and vegetarian food
• Relaxing beside the rooftop pool

Bangkok is an extraordinary city when you know where to go. Whether you would like company for an adventure or prefer to explore quietly by yourself, both will be completely welcome.

Lunch and dinner in Bangkok are not included. This gives us the freedom to enjoy the incredible range of affordable food available, from markets and casual local restaurants to rooftop dining and hidden culinary gems.

Seven Nights in Koh Samui

After Bangkok, we will fly together to the beautiful island of Koh Samui, with your internal flight included in the retreat package.

Here, we will settle into our private beachfront villas. Surrounded by tropical gardens, private pools and the sound of the sea, this will become our peaceful home for the next seven nights.

Our days on the island will move at a gentler pace. There will be time for yoga, meditation, energy work, relaxation, swimming, reflection and connection, as well as opportunities to explore more of Koh Samui.

Your island stay includes breakfast, dinner and a daily snack, prepared for us at the villas. There will also be free time to enjoy the beach, rest beside the pool, book a massage or simply do nothing at all.

More Than a Yoga Retreat

Yoga will be woven throughout our journey, but this retreat is about much more than physical practice.

It is an opportunity to step away from your everyday responsibilities and reconnect with the part of you that can sometimes become lost beneath work, family life and the constant need to care for everyone else.

Our practices will be suitable for different levels and will include a blend of:

• Hatha yoga and mindful movement
• Meditation and breathwork
• Chakra and energy-balancing practices
• Group energy healing
• Deep relaxation
• Journalling and personal reflection
• Sound and vibrational healing
• Intention setting
• Water ceremony
• Time for rest, laughter and genuine connection

You do not need to be highly experienced or especially flexible. You simply need to arrive with an open heart and a willingness to give yourself this time.

A Retreat With Freedom

I do not believe a retreat should feel like another busy schedule you have to keep up with.

There will be carefully planned practices and experiences available, but you will always have a choice. You may want to join everything, skip an activity for an afternoon by the pool, explore independently or enjoy some peaceful time alone.

You can be part of the group without ever feeling pressured to perform, share more than you wish or participate in anything that does not feel right for you.

Come with a friend, partner or by yourself. Solo guests will be warmly welcomed, and you will be part of a friendly and supportive group from the moment our journey begins.

Accommodation

Our Bangkok hotel has been selected for its location, rooftop pool, exclusive morning yoga space and ease of exploring the city.

In Koh Samui, we will stay in two private villas beside one another, giving us the intimacy of a private retreat while still offering plenty of room to relax.

Each villa has its own swimming pool, tropical outdoor spaces and direct beachfront surroundings.

Beautiful Rooms

If you are considering joining us, I recommend registering your interest as soon as possible. This is an intimate retreat with limited spaces, and once the remaining rooms are allocated, bookings will close.

Who Is This Retreat For?

This experience has been created for anyone who feels ready to:

• Take meaningful time away from everyday responsibilities
• Reconnect with themselves physically, emotionally and energetically
• Experience Thailand as part of a supportive group
• Enjoy yoga without judgement, competition or pressure
• Combine cultural adventure with genuine rest
• Meet like-minded people while retaining personal freedom
• Return home feeling lighter, clearer and more connected

It is particularly suited to those who spend much of their lives caring for, supporting or showing up for others and are finally ready to give some of that energy back to themselves.

Your Retreat Host

I’m Mary McLellan, a yoga teacher, Reiki Master, sound therapist and energy healer with more than 20 years of experience in yoga, fitness and wellbeing.

Thailand feels like my second home, and bringing a group here has been a dream of mine for many years. I want to share more than the familiar tourist version of Thailand. I want you to experience its warmth, beauty, energy, food, culture and contrasts — from the excitement of Bangkok to the softness and tranquillity of island life.

My teaching style is warm, inclusive and grounded. There is no expectation to look a certain way, move in a particular way or already understand meditation or energy work. You will be met exactly where you are.

A Journey Back to Yourself

This retreat is for the person who knows they need something more than a holiday.

It is for the person who wants adventure but also needs rest. Who wants to discover somewhere new while rediscovering something within themselves.

We will move, breathe, explore, eat, laugh, rest and experience the beauty of Thailand together.

You may arrive needing space, inspiration or simply a break from ordinary life. My hope is that you leave feeling restored, empowered and more deeply connected to yourself.

This is more than a yoga retreat.

It is an adventure, an awakening and a journey back to your own light.
