Next Retreats in May and June
4 day and weekend retreats available.
Holy Tiger is a new Yoga, Meditation, and Wellness experience in Kep, Cambodia.
We like to keep things simple. Yoga gives you a more comfortable body, meditation gives you mental clarity, and connecting with nature and other like-minded people soothes your emotions.
Spiritualty and simplicity go hand in hand. Instead of being like muddy lakes or stormy seas, we aim to become crystal clear pools of water. The clearer it is, the deeper you can see.
Yoga
The physical aspect of this ancient Indian tradition was designed to make the body comfortable for long periods of meditation. Today it is also perfect for correcting posture problems caused by modern living.
Learning
If you pay attention to your thoughts, you will notice that many of them are unhelpful. Through meditation, we can learn to clear away the clutter and focus on what matters. Everything starts with the mind.
Meditation
After centuries of religious and scientific enquiry, life remains very much a mystery. Still, by reflecting on both ancient and modern knowledge, we can at least learn to fall in love with the mystery!
Healing
Spiritual practices do not have to be so heavy, “angels fly because they take themselves lightly”. Coming together to dance, share experiences or just to have a nice meal can lift our spirits more than anything else.
An Area Of
Outstanding Beauty
The sleepy coastal town of Kep is the perfect place for a Yoga retreat. The sea-views are incredible, as are the surrounding lush-green hills of Kep national park. The weather is warm all year round, and being so close to the sea provides a cool breeze making Kep a choice for many locals looking to escape the heat of Phnom Penh.
The philosophy of Yoga teaches that we are not separate from the world around us. Connecting with the beautiful nature in Kep will help you to experience this truth.
Holy Tiger Philosophy
Holy – because that’s what we all are deep down.
Tiger – because to see that often takes a lot of courage.
The three hidden hearts in the logo represent the love that can be found when we start to pay attention.
Holy Tiger is not for profit. The money goes to support local people who had their businesses destroyed by the pandemic. The owner of our Yoga space, the accommodation, our tour guide, and the chef were all made effectively unemployed by the lack of tourism. We are hoping to help them get back on their feet.
Wellness retreats in developing countries are notorious for taking advantage of cheap labour and rent to generate large revenues which are taken out of the country. That’s not us.
We are also passionate about bringing more wellness tourism to Cambodia. It is the perfect country for it given the beautiful countryside, incredibly friendly people and rich history of spirituality dating back to the ancient Angkor Empire and beyond.
Clean and Comfortable Rooms
Yogis do not have to sleep on beds of nails (or in sub-standard accommodations).
Our rooms are a 5 minute seaside walk from the rooftop Yoga-space. All rooms have a private bathroom. All rooms have the option of AC. Double and Twin Rooms are available.
Rooftop Yoga Space
As well as our the outdoor space pictured above, Yoga and meditation classes will be held on at our rooftop space, surrounded by lush trees and just moments away from the sea.
Explore a magical land
There are some incredibly interesting things to see in the local area that many tourists miss. You can take a trip back in time to a traditional fishing village, or visit sacred caves, waterfalls, and Buddhist temples.
Our tour guide, Somnang has an incredible wealth of local and historical knowledge which he loves to share with guests to this wonderful country.
"Let thy food by thy medicine"
The programs includes three vegan meals per day. Our Cambodian chef provides flavorsome food, cooked with a lot of love, and can take care of whatever dietary needs you have. Snacks are available throughout the day and we have some great herbal teas from locally grown healing herbs.
We also have options if you are looking for a detox, including a coconut water fast. If you have not fasted before, you may be surprised by the way it can make Yoga and meditation practices more powerful, and leave you feeling more energized than you would imagine.
May and June Retreats: "Raise Your Vibration"
You can join us for a weekend retreat with an optional meal and welcome meeting on Friday, followed by two full days of Yoga, meditation, and activities. There is the option to stay until Monday morning.
We will be also hosting other short retreats in May and June. Please contact us for details.
