Koh Pha Ngan is in the southern parts of friendly Thailand close to their tropical sister islands; Koh Samui & Koh Tao. On Koh Pha Ngan you will find the Pyramid Yoga School nestled in the jungle above the beautiful beaches & snorkeling reefs along the tranquil, North West side of the Island where the serene beauty of the palm trees and emerald green ocean calms the mind & nurtures the soul!

Escape the winter and surrender to the warm jungle air while practicing yoga asanas, breathing (pranayama) and chanting under the large palm leaf, open air Pyramid Yoga Studio.

Rejuvenate & align your body , mind & spirit through the practice of the various forms of yoga & meditation!

Our 12-Day Yoga Retreat is open to yogis of all levels who are interested in an energetic, flowing style of yoga balanced with restorative and meditation practices.

"There is something precious to discover through the practice of yoga for everybody. It is a great passion of mine to help people find this for themselves."

Yoga Retreat 2009 with Yogi sisters Jane and Tiffany Loney

Jane and Tiff are back at the Pyramid Yoga Center!

Join us for 2 weeks of intensive morning vinyasa-style yoga practice complemented by a gentle afternoon restorative class with basic shiatsu massage training.

The warm and gentle Thai evenings will be infused with dance, chanting and meditation under the pyramid in the tropical jungle. We will experience the magic of chanting in the sound temple. We will be introduced to Chakra yoga by David.

Just down the path, white sandy beaches and warm blue waters await. If we wish, we can arrange boat trips and snorkeling and diving adventures.

While enjoying the soft warm sand between your toes, nurture yourself under Jane and Tiffany’s gentle, playful, and energetic guidance.

Here is a review of one student’s experience of the last Yoga retreat held by the Loney sisters in Thailand:

Yoga teachers Jane and Tiffany Loney are extremely good teachers and it is thanks to them that I even started yoga. They are knowledgeable about all aspects of yoga, wise, calm, gentle, loving, encouraging and with a lovely sense of humour. Jane is a shiatsu therapist, Tiffany a ballet dancer!
What I really love about their style of teaching is their skill in dealing with students of all ages and skill levels. Dealing with injured bodies is not a problem for them. The style of teaching makes me feel as if I am in expert hands. One will lead while the other spends the entire time going from one person to another, gently correcting alignment and helping us “ease” and “fold” and “melt” into the postures more deeply. Jane and Tiffany encourage each student to become independent and self-directed in their practice.

The place, Pyramid Yoga Centre is also really cool. They have a “sound chamber” built in the jungle that creates the most amazing acoustics, like a tiny chapel made of earth. The 2 yoga platforms are covered to prevent sunburn, open to the gentle breeze and view of the majestic palms and cliffs down to the water. Marina, one of the owners of the place is a singer too and it is from her that I first learned about mantras (and learned the fun one to “Saraswati, Mama Lakshmi, Durga Devi Namaya”). Just down the hill is white soft sand, Thai massage and a quiet, untouristy beach. The only negative thing I can find to say is that the water in the lagoon was almost too warm.
