On a clifftop above the Gulf of Thailand on Koh Samui, Vikasa is a beachfront yoga retreat built around the Vikasa Method, a philosophy of evolution through practice, community and lifestyle developed by founder Kosta Miachin, whose Yoga Alliance-accredited academy trains teachers from 50 to 300 hours across yoga, meditation, sound healing and Reiki. Open Vikation stays, four personalised wellness programmes, six signature retreats and daily classes in ocean-view salas compose a rare ecosystem where the practice is inseparable from the place, the people and the food.

Vikasa Yoga Style Yoga at Vikasa is taught by experienced international teachers in a variety of styles, including our unique Vikasa Yoga style. Vikasa means evolution, or spiritual development, when translated from Sanskrit. The concept of “evolution of yoga” is based on the notion that everything in the world evolves constantly, including human beings. Our primary goal as a human race and that of any living organism is evolution, and yoga can be seen as a tool to facilitate such evolution in any given individual. Therefore Vikasa Yoga approach is an ever evolving process, which anyone can be a part of, rather than a complete static system. The style is based on integrating deep core work with precise alignment, combining active dynamic exercises from different disciplines. It includes static poses from classic haha yoga schools, as well as dynamic pressure and deep relaxation. It explores ha-tha or the yin and yang concept to its maximum potential.
