Southern Thailand

The Place

Not the Thailand you've heard of. Better.

Khanom is a 45-minute drive from the nearest tourist infrastructure. A bay, a few fishing villages, and some of the clearest water in the Gulf.

01
The Thailand that existed before.

No clubs, no Full Moon parties, no yoga festival crowds. This is why Gabe chose to base his retreat work here. The absence of distraction is part of the week.

02
Pink dolphins regularly spotted.

Sunsets happen every evening. The water is warm. The practice space looks out at the ocean. It's the kind of place that makes it easy to be in the body.

Typical Day

Structure without rigidity

The retreat isn't packed. The pace is intentional. There's space between sessions to integrate.

6:30 AM โ€” Morning Practice

Dynamic foundation

Dynamic practice โ€” Sun Salutation, vinyasa, breath work. Overlooking the bay before the heat of the day. 90 minutes.

8:30 AM โ€” Breakfast

Community Meal

Fresh Thai breakfast, local fruit, coffee. The conversations here are part of the retreat.

10 AM โ€“ 1 PM โ€” Free Time

Unstructured Space

Swim, rest, journal, explore. Optional bodywork sessions available. No scheduled activities โ€” you need this space to land.

1 PM โ€” Lunch

Local Thai Food

The best eating of the trip, usually. Simple, fresh, authentic southern Thai cuisine.

4:30 PM โ€” Afternoon Practice

Slower & Deeper

Yin, restorative, Thai massage, or themed workshop depending on the day. 90 minutes focused on integration.

Evening โ€” Dinner + Sunset

The Unofficial Highlight

The Gulf sunsets are extraordinary. Dinner together as the light drops, reflecting on the day's work.

Gabriel Azoulay
Your Instructor

Gabriel Azoulay

20+ years teaching across 4 continents.

Gabe trained under the masters of multiple traditions โ€” Ashtanga, Iyengar, Thai Massage, and Yin โ€” and built GabeYoga to pass that synthesis on to practitioners who want more than a surface-level practice.

He has been operating retreats in Khanom since 2012, choosing this location for its depth, quiet, and proximity to the source of the traditions he teaches.

Is this for you?

What happens in Khanom

"I've been to five yoga retreats. This was the first one where I actually changed something fundamental about how I practice."

Michaela R. Yoga Teacher, Germany
"Gabe has a way of seeing what each person needs and teaching to that. The group was small enough that nothing was generic."

Practice it. If it doesn't change something, get your money back.

This challenge works โ€” but only if you do. Show up for the first 30 days. If you complete the first two weeks and genuinely feel it hasn't shifted your practice, your understanding, or your body, email me for a full refund. No forms, no hoops. The risk is entirely mine.
