Local Experience

Local Experience

Move past the typical tourist path through tours and excursions lead by our certified local tour guide and his family. If COVID allows, you'll also have an option to visit their local village school program. A portion of your trip cost will go to support their education efforts. You will leave a piece of your heart in Cambodia.

Hosts

In addition to our owner and Chief Zen Officer Anna, each Above Yoga retreat has one or two additional certified yoga teachers on-site who will lead a portion of the classes and support students in their practice. We find that an opportunity to participate in a variety of classes with various teaching styles adds to our guests’ overall retreat experience.

“This was an absolutely eye opening trip and after lots of apprehension I am thrilled that I joined the group. Anna’s thorough communication regarding the coronavirus was helpful and reassuring. I appreciate that she provided actual info directly from her contacts in Cambodia. Her info on visas and what to bring on the trip was crucial. The retreat property was central to markets, shopping and so unique. The staff was helpful and attentive. We also could not have had a better tour guide for our excursions. Yung made us feel part of his family and less a tourist. I feel like we had very intimate experiences and got to know the country and its people better. I absolutely loved all the experiences associated with this retreat. They were so important to round out the trip. Meals were great on property and off. Great job Anna. I wish I could go on all of your retreats!” - Stuart, Charlotte, NC

“I don’t know if I ever would have traveled to SE Asia if it weren’t for Anna’s Above Yoga retreat. I’m a yogi but my husband is not and we both thoroughly enjoyed the retreat (made for any level of yoga practice). Anna provided travel adviser-like expertise for visas, flights, packing, pre- and post-retreat travel ideas, and was so informative about travel to SE Asia especially after the coronavirus outbreak. She curated fun, cultural activities and made everything optional so we could do as much yoga and exploring as a group or have downtime as needed. She cares for her travelers - she followed everyone’s flights to make sure we got in, helped a traveler with delayed luggage and had a First Aid kit she wasn’t afraid to use. Anna scouts her trips making connections to provide the best opportunity to experience Cambodian culture with temple tours, a visit to the Peacock Learning Center and a unique bike tour watching the sunset in rice fields - all with the wonderful guide she met previously. The perfect location - close to the action but tucked away and quiet.” - Rebecca, Milwaukee, WI

“As with previous retreats, the trip was amazing from start to finish. In this case, I signed up because it would be my first Asia adventure and my experiences with Above Yoga have always exceeded my expectations. The hotel, food, excursions and of course yoga were magical. The trip to the school was a unique experience I'll always remember.” - Lee, Charlotte, NC

FAQs

  1.  Above Yoga retreats are adults-only. All guests must be 21 or older. While this property is a small, boutique hotel, it is not private to our group, so there may be other guests (adults + children) staying on property at the same time. 
  2. All yoga classes, group meals, and excursions are completely optional. You may participate in as much or as little as you would like. Yoga classes will be accessible to all levels of practitioners. 
  3. We highly recommend you fly to the region at least a day earlier than required in order to give yourself addition time if there are flight delays or cancellations. The retreat program will start at around 4 pm on the first day and end at 10 am on the final day. If you wish to explore other parts of SE Asia, such as Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and other parts of Cambodia, Above Yoga would be happy to offer suggestions. 
  4. Consider flying first into a larger airport nearby (Bangkok - BKK or Ho Chi Minh - SGN) to save money and take a quick local flight to Siem Reap (budget approx. $700-$1,200 for international flights & $100-$200 for inter-Asia flights; depending on your departure city)
  5. Climate: Average weather for November: highs in 80s & 90s / lows in the 70s
  6. Health: All guests must show proof of COVID vaccination to attend this retreat. Other vaccinations or preventative medications may be recommended by your health professional when traveling in Southeast Asia.
