About YUU
… go faster, achieve more, scroll further—we often forget the simple, profound art of just being. We become untethered, ships drifting on a restless sea of notifications, deadlines, and expectations. We lose the connection to the one place that should be our anchor: ourselves.
Here in the heart of Thailand, there is a simple word that holds the antidote: อยู่ (Yuu).
On the surface, Yuu means “to stay” or “to be at.” But like the calm waters of a hidden lagoon, its meaning runs much deeper.
Yuu is the permission to stay with the present moment, to feel the warmth of the sun on your skin without thinking of what comes next.
Yuu is the courage to stay with your own thoughts, to listen to the quiet wisdom that is so often drowned out by the noise of daily life.
Yuu is the comfort of staying with a feeling of peace, allowing it to settle in your soul, not as a fleeting visitor, but as a welcome resident.
Here, the only schedule is the one set by the sunrise and sunset. We begin our days with movement, flowing through yoga sessions that awaken the body and quiet the mind. Afterwards, the practice continues as we gather to share a wholesome, vibrant meal. This is a time to nourish your body with locally-sourced, healthy food, to ground your energy, and to connect with others—a moment to truly stay with the feeling of centered well-being.
Yuu is a place to lay down your burdens and simply be. To stay in a space where you can unfold, heal, and rediscover the person you are when you’re not rushing. It’s a haven to connect with nature, with like-minded souls, and most importantly, with the truest version of yourself.
We believe that the peace you find here isn’t meant to be left behind. It’s meant to be carried with you. By learning to Yuu—to truly stay with yourself—you cultivate an inner sanctuary that you can return to, long after you’ve left our grounds.
Yuu is more than our name. It is our promise.
We invite you to come. To breathe. To connect.
