Where You’ll Be

We’ll be staying at Beach Box Perhentian, which (in my opinion) offers the most comfortable accommodation, the best-tasting food on the island, and amazing friendly service.

All rooms have sea-facing views, setting the perfect scene for your escape. We’ll enjoy twice-daily yoga sessions, a special trip to another island for yoga and a picnic, plenty of free time in between to snorkel, swim, or simply sunbathe, and more.

Who Is This Retreat For

This retreat is for you if:

  • You crave a break from routine and stress

  • You love yoga (or are curious to explore it more deeply)

  • You long for connection—whether with yourself, nature, or a like-minded community

  • You need a reset, physically, mentally, or emotionally

Think of this retreat as your chance to step away from constantly doing, planning, and managing—not just for yourself, but for everyone around you.

Instead, give yourself the gift of rest, play and presence. I invite you to let go, be cared for, and fully embrace the moment.


What Previous Guests Are Saying

“I loved that there was time to be together as a group, to stay together if we wanted to and the freedom to step away and do our own thing as well.”

– Tracy

“Priceless experience meeting amazing ladies in such a relaxing mode, wonderful class and workshop. Not overdo, just perfect!”

-Previous retreat participant

“I don’t think there’s anything more I could have asked for 😁 I really do appreciate that on days I don’t feel like I’m able to join the group, there is no pressure for anyone hence it made the retreat much more relaxed for me.”

-Fairuz

    I’m new to yoga, is this retreat suitable for me?

    Absolutely! This retreat is designed for all levels, including beginners.

    Many past participants have joined with little to no yoga experience and found it to be the perfect way to deepen their practice in a supportive, judgment-free environment.

    You’ll be guided through each session at your own pace, with modifications provided to suit your comfort level. Need a break? No problem, rest whenever you need to.

    This isn’t a yoga bootcamp. It’s a retreat meant to nourish your body and mind while allowing you to fully enjoy the experience.
