Retreat Centre
Let your every need be taken care of in our luxury homestay resort, new to The Radiant Hand for this retreat.
The accommodation has all the exclusivity and luxury of a 5 star hotel, combined with the personal touch and warm hospitality of a family run resort.
Nestled in lush, green gardens filled with flowers, you can’t help but feel at one with nature here, and yet our stunning retreat centre is located just 20 minutes from the centre of the vibrant city of Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand and 30 minutes from the international airport.
Spend your time lounging by the spectacular swimming pool, enjoying the beautiful communal spaces this resort has to offer or simply sitting on your terrace with a book.

All rooms overlook the swimming pool and are decorated in contemporary Northern Thai style with beautiful hardwood parquet floors and an emphasis on comfort. There is airconditioning, free wifi, a flat screen TV with satellite and a safety deposit box in every room; bathrobes, slippers and toiletries are provided.

Food
Thailand is renowned for its fantastic, healthy cuisine and we will ensure you get the full experience of this during your retreat. Not only delicious, Thai food uses an abundance of flavoursome ingredients such as turmeric, galangal, ginger, lemon juice, coconut milk which work together to boost immunity, fight inflammation and speed up metabolism.
The retreat is full-board; vegetarian Thai food is provided throughout the retreat, with plenty of opportunities for al fresco dining.
The culinary experience starts each day with a fresh juice before yoga. Snacks are then available throughout the morning, including fruit, yoghurt, vegetarian sandwiches etc. This is followed by a magnificant brunch, which runs into the early afternoon. Once you have worked up an appetite with the late afternoon yoga session, a gourmet dinner follows in the early evening.
On one evening, we will be visiting Chiang Mai night market, so there won't be an evening meal at the resort that evening. The night market is a spectacular experience, with the chance to try out all manner of Thai street food... you certainly won't go hungry!
Yoga
Compassionate, intuitive, knowledgeable and devoted, GuruDev will bring his unshakeable enthusiasm & passion for yoga to this exclusive retreat. Experience for yourself his infectious sense of humour and creative, spontaneous, playful approach to teaching and to life itself.
This retreat will offer a unique combination of Classical Dynamic and Anahata Agni Hotra styles, through which GuruDev will be guiding and supporting each and every one of you on an awe inspiring journey of healing & self-evolution.
There will be 10 yoga classes of 90 minutes over the week; 2 per day, with 1 day off for a full-day excursion. There are 3 stunning spaces for practising yoga: a terrace on the pond, decking around the pool and a spectacular yoga shala.

The Radiant Hand retreat in Sri Lanka surpassed my expectations. In the yoga classes I felt supported and able to push my practice up a level. The food and location was amazing and it was a very nourishing experience. I came back feeling refreshed and energised and it’s a memory I hold dear to this day. I’m really grateful that I gifted myself the time and space on the retreat, and I would thoroughly recommend it.

I really enjoyed the retreat I attended in Spain with The Radiant Hand. It was a great opportunity to take time off with like minded people and give back to myself. I felt totally rejuvenated and found it to be a transformative experience, with the added fun of going on holiday.
Brodie Leithhead, Spain, 2018
I have enjoyed many a long weekend retreat with the Radiant Hand over the years. The yoga classes are carefully balanced and varied throughout to challenge and inspire, but also heavenly relaxing and nurturing. The meals are delicious and plentiful and after long walks and laughs throughout the days, we collapse into comfy beds for long deep sleeps. We return to London and our busy lives rejuvenated, relaxed and glowing with new skills and friendships. If you have the chance to go away with the Radiant Hand, you won’t regret it. The team are caring, knowledgeable and keen to share their love of yoga with you, no matter what your experience or ability.
