KOH PHANGAN HOTEL GUIDE | Yoga, Wellness & Spa Treatments
Koh Phangan has developed into a true paradise for Yoga lovers and now offers a large variety of different yoga retreats and schools, where one can learn the ancient art of Yoga.

Although surprisingly little is known of the early history of yoga, evidence of Yoga tradition is found as early as 5,000 years ago around the beginnings of human civilization. Contrary to popular western belief, Yoga is not simply a series of stretches but an entire way of life. And as a way of life it has certainly withstood the test of time.

The term yoga is derived from its Sanskrit form 'yuj' which means 'yoke' or 'to join' thus bringing into harmony body, mind and spirit. Most forms of yoga  in the western world are variations of Hatha Yoga, which emphasizes methods of doing yoga postures (asanas) and energetic breathing (pranayama) for physhical health and well being.
