Yoga & Wellness Retreat, Hoi An Vietnam

Go back in time when you journey to the UNESCO World Heritage city of Hoi An on Vietnam's central coast. This charming little village weaves along the canals and reflects a time of old. At every turn be delighted by traditional architecture from around Asia to reflect it's history as a bustling port town.

The car free streets are lit with lanterns and it buzzes with the atmosphere of markets, restaurants, bars and tailors. Take advantage of the Free bike hire to explore your surrounds like a local. Your visit coincides with the Hoi An lantern festival, this lively gathering of locals is an age old tradition where they honour their ancestors and invite prosperity by releasing lanterns on the river, laying flowers and offering performances. On the evening of the full moon we join the locals on traditional boats to release lanterns and dine on the river to soak up the atmosphere. Learn to cook authentic Vietnamese cuisine at the world renowned Ms Vy's Cooking Class, we'll take a boat trip to the colourful central market where we'll watch and be involved in many cooking demonstrations followed by a 2 hour cooking class and lunch. Visit An Bang beach, one of Asia's most beautiful beaches as voted by Trip Advisor just 3km away.

4 Daily shuttles from the resort make this an easy trip. Rejuvenate and unwind in the heart of beautiful Hoi An at the award winning Almanity Hoi An Wellness Resort. Every day you will spend 1 hour in the deluxe Spa and enjoy treatments that take inspiration from Vietnamese fables and make use of traditional herbs, oils and massage techniques. Move your body with Yoga and calm the mind with meditation and pure relaxation.

    Teachers

  • Emily Spurling

    Emily's laid back and inclusive approach resonates with first time students and advanced yogis alike. Emily has been recognised as an industry expert and can be found on Gaia alongside other wellness exerts such as Deepak Chopra and Jamie Oliver.

    Emily is a Yoga teacher, documentary film-maker and Mind-Body Coach who loves sharing the ultimate toolbox for becoming your best authentic self. Emily is an eternal student of yoga globally and is formally trained in Hatha and Vinyasa flow, she has beautifully combined these styles to create her own much loved yoga experience. This 'fusion' style is the perfect blend of light and shade, one flow will have you generating heat and building lean muscle and the next you will be blissing out in a slow, opening restorative sequence. Emily is also a Thai Masseuse whose hands on adjustments in class help you to slip into the perfect pose and a state of deep relaxation. 


    Emily is drawn to yoga and meditation as a way to become fully present and 'show up' as the best version of herself in all areas of life. “We are all expected to wear so many different 'hats' every day, as a mother of two beautiful children, a wife, entrepreneur and teacher, to name a few, it can be really confusing and challenging to stay grounded, positive and on my path. If we are not living in the moment then we're not showing up, Yoga and meditation are my secret weapon and it is my pleasure to share this gift with you.”
