Yoga and Meditation in Phuket – outdoor locations
Phuket is an ideal place for those seeking tranquility and inner balance through yoga and meditation. The harmony of nature and the modern world on the island creates a unique atmosphere for practice.
You can find yoga studios in Phuket here. In this article, we’ve tried to collect natural locations best suited for practice.
Yoga on the Beach
Beach yoga sessions are especially appealing to tourists. Practicing with views of sunrise or sunset, accompanied by the sound of waves and fresh sea breeze creates an indescribable feeling of peace and serenity. In such places, yoga becomes not just a practice, but a true ritual of harmony with nature. Especially popular for yoga are:
Nai Harn Beach. At dawn, when it’s still quiet with no tourists around, Nai Harn Beach has a peaceful atmosphere that’s perfect for practicing in unity with nature.
Bang Tao Beach. Bang Tao Beach is quite spacious, and you’ll always find a secluded spot to practice yoga. It’s best to come at sunrise to greet the sun under the calming sound of waves and the coolness of the sea breeze.
Surin Beach. Surin is known for its clean, clear water and soft white sand, and is also ideal for morning yoga practice. The key is to arrive early to find the beach deserted.
n general, almost all Phuket beaches are suitable for morning practice. Many yoga instructors conduct their classes right on the beach, combining asanas with breathing practices and meditations. This helps not only to relax but also to feel unity with the surrounding world. It’s essential to remember safety precautions and not get too close to the edge if you’re practicing yoga in elevated areas or when the sea is rough. Unfortunately, there have been accidents where people practicing yoga were swept away by waves.
Yoga in the Park
Not everyone knows this, but Phuket has not only jungles but also beautiful well-maintained parks. You can learn more about them in the Walkways section, as well as in the article Walking Spots in Phuket. For yoga practice, the following locations stand out:
King Rama IX Park

In general, you can meet many fitness enthusiasts in this park: there are several sports grounds, tennis courts, running tracks, and fitness zones.
Kata Park. Kata Beach Community Park is located near the beach of the same name. It’s an ideal place for walks, yoga practice, or picnics. It’s also great for spending time with children because there are playgrounds. You can leave the children there, relax, and meditate.
Sirinat National Park. In this huge park, it won’t be difficult to find a secluded place to practice yoga. Even on the hottest day, you can find shade created by ancient trees. After practice, it would be a wonderful decision to go to the nearby beach and refresh yourself in the sea.
