Back to Nature: Chiang Mai Retreat and Songkran with April Lu and Yun Ng

11 - 14 April 2025

About the Retreat

As city dwellers, it is easy to forget that we are also a part of nature. Our bodies being made of stardust, we are also undeniably connected to all things. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s essential to take a step back, breathe, and reconnect with our inner selves and the natural world.

Our facilitators, April and Yun, invite you to spend a few days away from the city and deep into the forests and hills of Chiang Mai. Thailand is home to a rich spiritual heritage and breathtaking landscapes, providing the perfect setting for a journey of self-discovery and transformation. Join us on this exclusive yoga retreat as we explore the intersection of nature, movement, and mindfulness, and rediscover our place within the world.

This retreat will include a trip to Chiang Mai city to enjoy the sights and sounds of Songkran Festival.
