You can do yoga on Koh Chang without booking a retreat. Here is where the classes are, what we know about times and prices, and what to do when there is no class that suits you.
The easiest place to find a yoga class on Koh Chang is Lonely Beach, where BB Gym runs daily classes at 10:00 and 18:30. Further up the west coast, in Klong Prao, Blue Lagoon teaches yoga from November to April, with drop-in classes at ฿300.
That is what we can tell you with confidence. Timetables on the island change with the seasons, so treat the times below as a starting point and check with the studio on the day.
Yoga in Lonely Beach
BB Gym is in Lonely Beach and offers yoga every day, once in the morning at 10:00 and once in the evening at 18:30. The morning class suits a slow start: breakfast, a swim, then the mat. The evening class suits the end of a hot day.
Sunset is around 18:00 at the moment, so the evening class begins just after the sun has gone. If you want both, watch the sky from the deck first and leave yourself time to get there. The team can tell you the best way to reach the gym from the resort.
We do not have a price for BB Gym classes, nor details of the style or the teachers, so we will not guess. Ask when you get there.
Yoga in Klong Prao
Blue Lagoon, in Klong Prao, teaches yoga from November to April, with drop-in classes at ฿300. That is the high season, when the sea is calmer and the island is busier. Today is the end of October, so the season is only just about to start. If you are here now, message them before you ride up the coast.
Klong Prao is on the west coast, around half an hour's ride north of Lonely Beach. It makes a good half-day if you pair a class with a visit to the nearby Klong Plu waterfall. Our waterfall guide has the hours and the ticket price.
Bailan Bay
Bailan Bay is the bay next door to Lonely Beach. It is a calm, rocky bay with cafes and a quieter, wellness-minded feel, and yoga is part of its scene. If you want a slower base than the main beach strip, it is worth a look. We have not got a class timetable for Bailan to share, so ask around once you are there.
For the wider picture of the neighbourhood, including how the quiet and lively sides fit together, read Lonely Beach, honestly.
Your own practice on the deck
You do not need a class to practise. The deck at Paradise Cottage is wide, flat and faces the sea. Early mornings there are cool and quiet, and the boardwalk to the water is empty before breakfast. It is a good place to roll out a mat if you travel with one, and to stretch before the day heats up.
If the afternoon rain arrives, which can happen in the green season, a thatched sala gives you shelter and the sound of rain on the roof. Not a bad background for a slow practice.
After the mat
Massage is available at the resort, and a late afternoon slot works well after a morning class. Ask the team to book it for you. There is also a fitness room if you prefer to move in a different way.
For the evening, try the breathing practice we suggest to guests on their first night. Breathe in for four, hold gently for three, breathe out for five and rest for two. Five minutes is plenty. You will find it, with a sunset meditation, in our slow living guide.
Checking before you go
Studios on Koh Chang change their timetables between the busy and quiet seasons, and a class that runs in January may not run in the rain. Before you travel for a class:
- Message or call the studio on the day to confirm the time.
- Ask about the price, as we only know the ฿300 drop-in at Blue Lagoon.
- Check that the season has started if you plan on Blue Lagoon, which teaches from November to April.
- Carry some cash, as it is useful on the island.
If you would like to stay with us while you do, you can send a booking request and ask the team anything about the area.
