A day at True Nature

Practice, food, rest, repeat. Here is the daily retreat schedule.

The daily retreat schedule

Every day has the same easy shape. Yoga and meals happen at set times; everything else is optional. Times can shift a little with the seasons.

We keep a gentle morning silence until 9:15am, so the first part of the day stays spacious and quiet.

  1. Wake up

    Birdsong, fresh air and the mountains. The roosters may beat your alarm.

  2. Morning yoga

    A Hatha or Vinyasa flow class to wake the body up.

  3. Breakfast

    Fruit from the garden, granola, eggs, tofu, smoothie bowls — and coffee.

  4. Optional activity

    Ice bath, a waterfall trip, a temple visit or the elephant sanctuary. Or nothing at all.

  5. Lunch

    Home-cooked Thai vegetarian food at the long table.

  6. Free time

    Rest, read, journal, walk, swing in a hammock, try the slackline, find a cat.

  7. Afternoon yoga

    A slower Yin or restorative class as the heat drops.

  8. Sunset

    The sky usually puts on a show. Grab a good spot.

  9. Dinner

    Everyone around one big family table.

  10. Lights out

    Early nights are very popular here.
