Tara’s work is rooted in movement, breath, touch and the natural rhythms that have guided her through the most challenging chapters of her life. She teaches and offers bodywork because these practices supported her when she needed grounding, compassion and strength — and she loves to share that same steadying presence with others.
Yoga, mobility and functional movement have been part of her life for more than sixteen years. They became especially important during periods of injury recovery and throughout a long season of caring for her family through illness, Alzheimer’s and mental health struggles. Movement gave her structure when everything felt uncertain; breath gave her space when emotions felt heavy; stillness helped her listen inwardly when I couldn’t find the words.
These experiences shaped who she is as a teacher: grounded, nurturing, intuitive and deeply compassionate.
A week built around adventure, connection and seeing a little more of Thailand:
Daily practise on the beach
A traditional Thai massage by the beach
A full-day 4 Island boat adventure
Swimming and exploring the Andaman Sea
Koh Lanta Old Town
A gentle hike through Mu Ko Lanta National Park
Bamboo Beach day
Travel by traditional local songthaew
Fresh, delicious Thai food
Plenty of free time to swim, wander, read or do absolutely nothing
Optional meditation and philosophy throughout the week
Opening and closing ceremonies
A group of 20 people who all arrived solo too
Arrive at Proud Phuket by 5pm, settle into your private room and meet the group before a relaxed sunset dinner at Nai Yang Beach.
A gentle first evening to put names to faces, eat good food and settle into Thailand together.
After breakfast, we’ll leave Phuket and travel south together to Koh Lanta.
Settle into your accommodation, unpack, explore your surroundings, take a swim or simply relax after the journey before coming back together for dinner.
Our first full day on Koh Lanta is intentionally slow.
We will open with practise on the beach, followed by a tasty breakfast.
Spend time by the beach, swim, read, wander or do very little at all, with an included traditional Thai massage by the sea.
Later, we’ll come together for our opening ceremony- a relaxed chance to properly arrive, get to know one another and set the tone for the adventure ahead.
Optional meditation and philosophy will be woven into the week for anyone who wants to join.
Today we head out onto the Andaman Sea for a full-day 4 Island boat adventure after our beach practise and nutritious breakfast.
Expect turquoise water, incredible island scenery, swimming, beaches and plenty of time out on the open water.
A proper Thailand adventure day.
Today is about seeing another side of Koh Lanta.
After morning practise on the beach, we’ll explore the characterful streets of Koh Lanta Old Town, with time to wander, browse, eat and soak up the slower rhythm of island life.
Then we’ll head into Mu Ko Lanta National Park for a gentle hike - nothing crazy, just enough to stretch the legs and explore the jungle, coastline and beautiful scenery.
For our final full day on Koh Lanta, we’ll travel by traditional local songthaew to beautiful Bamboo Beach.
Swim, relax, explore, read, chat or simply enjoy a full day with nowhere else to be.
Later, we’ll gather for our closing ceremony- a chance to look back on the week, the places we’ve explored, the friendships made and everything we’re taking away from the experience.
After breakfast, we’ll say goodbye to Koh Lanta and travel back to Phuket together.
Our final night is spent back at the beautiful Proud Phuket, where you’ll have time to relax, enjoy the pool and settle in before we come together for one final beachside dinner at sunset.
A pretty perfect way to finish.
We’ll share breakfast together before check-out and goodbyes.
Then it’s time to head home- hopefully with a camera roll full of Thailand, a few very good stories and a group of people who definitely weren’t strangers eight days ago.
The journey starts and finishes in Phuket, with the heart of the week spent on Koh Lanta- an island of long beaches, lush national park, local communities and plenty of space to explore.
Throughout the trip, you’ll have your own private, air-conditioned accommodation, so you get all the fun and connection of travelling with a group without giving up your own space.
Your first and final nights will be spent at Proud Phuket, close to Nai Yang Beach, before travelling together to and from Koh Lanta.
Expect fresh, colourful and seriously tasty Thai food throughout the week- relaxed breakfasts, local lunches and flavour-packed dinners.
Some meals will be part of our planned days out, while at other times you’ll have the freedom to choose where and what you fancy eating.
Vegetarian options are available, with vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free requirements catered for when arranged in advance.
