The Space of Awareness

About The Space of Awareness

The Space of Awareness is one of Koh Phangan's most quietly celebrated retreat destinations — a personal, intimate space just two minutes from Zen Beach where profound inner work happens in an atmosphere of genuine care and expertise.

Daily Iyengar yoga sessions form the structural foundation of the programming. Iyengar yoga's precise alignment focus, use of props, and methodical progression make it uniquely effective for both therapeutic applications and deep practice development. The teaching at The Space of Awareness maintains this tradition's integrity while making it accessible.

Breathwork sessions feature the work of Edward Matthews, considered one of the most gifted breathwork teachers currently working in Southeast Asia. His approach draws on Rebirthing Breathwork, Holotropic principles, and somatic trauma theory to create powerful, safely held experiences of emotional release and expanded awareness.

Specialist offerings include Tok Sen massage (a traditional Northern Thai treatment using a wooden mallet and wedge to stimulate the energy lines), face and neck massage, water healing in the sea, somatic trauma release work, and private tantra lessons for individuals or couples. Community events happen regularly, connecting guests with the broader island wellness community.

The proximity to Zen Beach means sunrise swims and beachside integration walks are part of the natural rhythm of retreat days.
