Welcome to Keirita's Yoga in the Andaman Sea in Thailand!
We draw from a complementary mix of varying yoga styles which are primarily Ashtanga based. All classes are small and personal, average class size is 2 to 8 people. Private classes are also available on request for 2,000 baht. As we don't offer regimented retreat-style packages everyone has plenty of free time for all the activities that both islands have to offer. Be it snorkeling, rock climbing, kayaking, cookery courses or massage. The most popular activity on both islands is of course SCUBA diving.
Yoga is most complementary to diving.
The focus on breathing in yoga helps with developing a steady, calm state of mind both during the yoga practice & while SCUBA diving. It aids certified divers in improving their air consumption and benefits new divers in adjusting to the new sensation of breathing underwater. This makes SCUBA diving a more familiar and less intimidating experience for those who have not tried it before. Mastery of the breath results in diving becoming a graceful, and weightless moving meditation in the silent underwater world.
Yoga is the disciplining of the body, the mind and emotions and should be approached with concentration and awareness. Breathing is vital in yoga, the inhalation expands, lengthens and helps upward movement. It is used to lift out of a posture. The exhalation releases tension and helps downward movement. It is used to relax into a posture.
You should take stock of how you feel and note how your breath comes and goes, and nothing should be rushed. Nor should you compare yourself to anyone in class. Yoga is not competitive, it is about discovering your own body and yourself. The compatibility of yoga and scuba cannot be underestimated. The focus on the breath and the approaching of both activities with calmness and concentration helps in the realization that diving is simply another means of moving meditation.
Anyone can benefit from Yoga. Initially you may be stiff and wonder how you will ever manage a forward bend. The answer is you must only do as much as your body allows. In quite a short time and with regular practice you will find yourself becoming more supple. Things you found impossible in your first class come more within your grasp.
The postures not only work to tone and reshape the outside of the body, they work on the endocrine system also stimulating the internal organs and revitalising the nervous system.
