ENERGIZE - EVOLVE - expand
Vikasa Yoga & Jiu Jitsu Retreat, Koh Samui Thailand
with Krystal Pearson, Erik Klinger & Nadya Lambreva
VIKASA is Sanskrit for EVOLution, becoming visible, expanding & shining forth. Add a little LOVE to this, & surrender to the unfolding path of the Vikasa Thailand Yoga & Jiu Jitsu Retreat.
Why EVOLution and Why LOVE? Love starts with you. With how you feel in your body & how your feel in your heart. To be more compassionate with yourself & to listen to your body. And then it expands. EVOLution. Love yourself & you will experience more connection with others. Love the dark & the light. Connect to your heart’s longing & what matters most. Once you have found this connection, surrender to the unfolding path!
My goal is to inspire you to dive deeper into your soul & what you desire to share with this world. What brings you joy? What makes you feel alive?
Traveling gets us out of our comfort zone, allows us to experience more presence, connection, freedom & have a fresh perspective. Traveling also cultivates healing & curiosity. We incorporate yoga, mantra, meditation, jiu jitsu, self defense classes, sound healing experiences & play into our retreats, while savoring nature’s beauty, nourishing our bodies with food full of vitality & allowing ourselves time to relax & renew.

Location
Vikasa Retreat
Koh Samui, Thailand
Vikasa Yoga Retreat is a transformational, inspiring, and life-changing experience and one of the most reputable places to learn and practice yoga in Thailand. Our rooms are modest, yet comfortable and clean. The landscape and the surroundings are absolutely stunning, there are no words to describe them. You will have to climb a lot of stairs, but the view from the top is so worth it. You might make discoveries here that will create a major shift in your consciousness and even be the beginning of a major change in your lifestyle.
“Living in the US, we never shift into neutral. Our culture doesn’t have an idle switch. The pressure to earn, buy, achieve, impress is always present. Our incredible Bali retreat gave me a way to slip from the pressure and urgency of life in this country, to a place that allowed me to more fully enjoy life, breathe in the air, and think about things from an entirely different perspective. Krystal & Jessica’s selection of location was inspired — Komune is all about health, yoga, surfing, and incredible food, without every being stuffy or tourist-y. The activities were fun, fascinating and totally engaging. Many of the sights were, simply, astonishing. The experience changed me as a person, and is something that will stay with me forever.”
