Ultimate Unwind Retreat
YOGA & MEDITATION
If you are going through a challening time in your life, where everything seems to be out of balance, you are feeling stressed from life’s everyday grind of responsibilities and obligations, and you are seeking a nurturing space to unwind, relax and recharge – join Nancy for her 5-day Ultimate Unwind Retreat
on the magical island Koh Phangan in Thailand.
Ultimate Unwind Yoga Retreat
Stay tuned! Retreat dates for 2020 coming soon!
This retreat is essentially powered by the spirit of alignment and medicine of yoga, meditation, and variety of food creation which will activate your tastebuds with an explosion of flavors.
By realigning the body, mind and soul, we are always simultaneously receiving our own natural flow and abundance.
I invite you to pause for a second to imagine yourself in the not too distant future when you will arrive on Koh Phangan.
How often do you take time out to truly unwind? We’re not talking about the five minutes you take out for a cuppa but a real time out from your life to connect with nature and yourself.
Short retreats are the perfect way to recharge your batteries and a great reminder to listen more to your inner voice and what you truly need.
Like a long deep breath, a retreat can bring you perspective, clarity and connection.
There are only limited space available to keep our group intimate and personable. In Wholistic Island Retreats, we’re all about family.
Why should you join us?
Koh Phangan is the PERFECT place to spend 5 delightful days …
to CONNECT YOU TO YOU and slow down your mind.
We are all too busy and being pushed and pulled through our life of struggle and stress. So take a deep breath- it is time to decompress from the hustle & bustle of city life and remind yourself about healthy habits. Ultimate Unwind Yoga Retreat will empower you with simple and efficient lifestyle tools for re-alignment and vibrant well-being. Believe us, we know it’s difficult to do life-changing steps just by yourself. That’s why we created this short retreat for YOU.
Here we take you out of your everyday routine, give you time-out to relax and support you with the right guidance to reconnect to your true authentic self in a natural and gentle way.
Connect to mother nature, moving like water and grounding into the earth, brings us back to who we really are.
“There is a great beauty in simplicity.“

The Venue
YOUR COMFORT IS IMPORTANT TO US…
Ocean Experience – A place where people return to the true balanced essence of who they are in mind and body. An invitation to connect the elements of Nature around to the elements of Nature within.
Ocean Experience is more than a beautiful beachfront retreat. This family-run center was born out of a pioneering lineage of the first sea-faring explorers to discover the island 150 years ago, when it was nothing but pure jungle and sea.
And the heritage continued onward, as Ocean Experience carried the earliest knowledge of ecotourism to life on the island. Today, this beachfront retreat center brings an intimate slice of serenity to those who come experience her pristine water, sand and stars. Experience the magic of Nature for yourself.
The Resort looks wonderful! I’m In!
THE Cuisine
A balanced whole food diet ensures healthiness and happiness.
You won’t miss out on the “Foodgasm” of this cuisine – from raw to vegan to vegetarian to Thai food – bursting with flavor in its simplicity.
A healthy and delicious feast of the freshest exotic fruits just off the tree, juices, greens cooked full of flavour, fresh fish from the ocean with a nice glass of vino in your hands and guilt-free desserts.
Let us surprise you with the variety of food creation which will activate your tastebuds with an explosion of flavors.
I deserve this Retreat.
YOGA WITH NANCY
Kick off the day right with presence, bringing in balance into your day.
Nancy’s calm voice takes you on a journey of inner peace, connection to your true self and awareness of your breath. Her teaching is from the heart and brings you to your sacred place, inner calm, so that you don’t have to look anywhere else. Nancy’s strong focus is on the right alignment of the posture.
Practicing Yoga with awareness of proper alignment is intrinsically linked with better coordination, balance, stability and prevention of strain or injury. When we are comfortable in our Yoga asana, we can look inside, no effort is needed and we can go deep.
If you are a beginner – no worries! Classes are catered to beginners and teachers alike, from gentle to yin to power!
Pre & Post-Retreat Bonus!
You are important to as, that’s why you will also receive:
- A clarity call-20 minutes of 1:1 time with Nancy so she can get to know you personally and best support you on your journey
- You’ll be invited to join our tribe, Facebook group, so you can get to know your retreat mates, ask questions and share in the pre-tip excitement
Post retreat includes
- An optional free 30 minute Wholistic integration session one month after the retreat, so together we can make sure you’re still on track with everything you learned.
WHY KoH PHANGAN?
This island will swallow you whole with her beauty within seconds of arriving. Just close your eyes and picture the most beautifully photoshopped image of the tropical island of your dreams, and step inside that 360 reality. Feel the gentle crunch of crystal and rose quartz beneath your feet, and inhale all the greenery through your five senses. More than 70% of the land is still unspoiled and undeveloped, meaning there is a lot nature for pure healing.
Koh Phangan still has the secluded island feel with no airport, rarity of cars and only three big roads. You are here away from world’s hustle and bustle, traffic lights, pollution and overall stressed lifestyle many of us lead in the west but we are still well connected to the outside with ferries and the next airport on out neighbor island Samui or on the mainland Surathani.

We will take you on a
WHOLISTIC RE-ALIGNMENT experience
WHAT DOES WHOLISTIC MEANS?
Wholistic: that which is whole, balanced and therefore, complete. An essential word that lays the strong foundation for healthy and mindful living.
WHAT IS YOGA?
Yoga: this Sanskrit word means “union” and was created to activate the mind-body connection. Like Ayurveda, the ancient practice of Yoga is a whole system and way of being in the world. The experience of Yoga brings ever greater alignment to one’s ability to be present and fully alive in every moment, a dynamic meditation in its own way. By bringing more attention to our daily life, we are quite literally training the muscle of the mind to expand and channel inner flow, gratitude and overall happiness.
“The only impossible journey is the one you never begin.”

YOUR RETREAT LEADER
Nancy,
Wholistic Coach, Yoga Teacher, Reiki Master and Ayurvedic Practitioner
Sawadee Ka,
I am Nancy, Wholistic Coach, Yoga Teacher, Reiki Master, and Ayurvedic practitioner.
My work is rooted in empowering and guiding people to live a passionate life aligned with their authentic self, embodying a balanced body, mind, and soul with the Universe.
My story begins in Hamburg, Germany where I began my career in the corporate business world. After years of overwhelming stress and unhappiness, I eventually hit my breaking point (sound familiar?) and surrendered to the ever-growing call to travel the world. In taking this first step out of my comfort zone, I began the Trip of My Life, which brought me across all parts of Southeast Asia, Australia, India and two years later, back to the island I now call home, Koh Phangan in Thailand. Yes, it was my Eat, Pray, Love Moment; and I embraced it. (I will tell you more about it.)
Wholistic Island Retreats is created from a deep desire to live a balanced life in harmony with the nature, aligned with the true authentic self.
Wholistic Island Retreats has come to fruition through the passion of my own yoga practice, my love for Koh Phangan , and my mission in empowering and guiding people to live a passionate life aligned with their authentic self, embodying a balanced body, mind, and soul with the Universe. It is such an honor to create these life changing experiences for you and a privilege to guide you on this inner and outer adventure of a lifetime.
From my heart to yours, I look forward to meeting on our retreat!
