Our vision and purpose is to help you to find a balanced state of health, using yoga practices and an approach to diet and lifestyle from ayurveda. Yoga begins on the mat for most of us, however, through doing the postures and working with the breath, we can find a calmer state of mind. Our aim is to support you in this process, providing high quality teaching, guidance and support. Scroll down for information on our upcoming events.

Jessica spent 2004-2007 working at the first location of Yoga Thailand. Living and working there had a profound impact on her life, especially due to the experience of truly living the yoga, delicious vegetarian food, a beautiful practice space, and a supportive environment. In order to better serve the thousands that now come from around the globe for yoga, it has grown from a small set of bungalows to a custom-built center, retaining the spirit and yogic energy. The new Yoga Thailand is a beautiful, retreat center built to welcome yoga practitioners from all over the world, and is nestled in coconut groves facing untouched beaches. Jessica returns to Yoga Thailand to teach a two week yoga retreat with lectures on Ayurveda and Nutrition. There will be a morning Mysore Style practice contact by Jessica and Paul Dallaghan, who is certified by Sri Pattabhi Jois, and is Jessica's asana teacher. Jessica will teach afternoon sessions on Ayurveda and Nutrition and lead evening programs. You will still have lots of time to relax, see the island, and try out the fantastic Thai massages.
