Location
The retreat takes places at Vikasa Yoga Koh Samui, Thailand. A yoga school and retreat destination on the stunning granite rocks of the island's coast in between two nearby beaches and with its own private beach. Classes will take place in the open air yoga halls with sea views and also on the beach! Vikasa has simple but welcoming and comfortable accommodation, many with sea views. Food is constantly raved about by those who have been guests and the staff alike! We all love Vikasa Life Cafe for its many wonderful vegetarian and raw dishes both on a la carte menu and twice daily buffet.

Millette Nunez
In 2011, Mimi was working as a Spanish teacher by day and as a yoga and Zumba® instructor by night. During this time, she was introduced to AcroYoga and her life and body were turned upside down. While she was always passionate about teaching, she realized that her real inspiration came from learning and sharing movement. A year later, she quit her job as a school teacher to travel and share Acro with everyone on her path. With 15 years of teaching experience, Mimi understands the importance of setting high standards while simultaneously building people’s beliefs in their own capacities. She strives to create an environment in which students are challenged, feel safe to take risks and are supported to learn. Currently, Mimi serves as part of the teacher training team at Partner-Acrobatics.com and also works on teacher trainings at AcroYoga®. She offers workshops, immersions and classes at studios and festivals worldwide. You can keep up with Mimi’s offerings on her FB page Mimi and Acro for the People: https://www.facebook.com/acroforthepeople |

George Anthony
George is a resident Vikasa yoga teacher trainer. During his last six years living teaching Yoga in Thailand he encountered AcroYoga and has been practicing and organising groups since 2010. In 2014 great teachers from the AcroYoga school came to SEA. George’s passion was rekindled. He met Mimi at an AcroYoga workshop in Bangkok and later that year took the AcroYoga teacher training in Bali with the founders and other senior teachers. AcroYoga is as much a part of yoga as any other practice is to George. He practices and teaches AcroYoga at Vikasa to help make connections between individuals and communities and encourage the positive benefits of universal play, compassionate supportive touch, and communication for health and development. |
