What is BIKRAM YOGA?

BIKRAM YOGA is a series of 26 Hatha Yoga Postures (asanas) and 2 breathing exercises conducted in a heated room.

The Heat warms up your whole body and allows you to work deeper into your muscles, tendons and ligaments to change your body from the inside out.

Bikram Yoga is a progress that can reduce the symptoms of many conditions, and is an excellent preventive activity to maintain optimum health.

All classes are 90 minutes long and designed for all levels. In time, you will learn to focus your mind and control your breath, leading you to work harder, deeper and calmer.

As you improve, you will realize the true meaning of Yoga: a union of the body, mind and soul.

BIKRAM YOGA increases flexibility, improves circulation and reduces stress providing an infinite number of benefits.

Who is Bikram?

Born in Calcutta in 1946, Bikram began Yoga at the age of four with India's most-renowned physical culturist at that time, Bishnu Ghosh.
At the age of thirteen, he won the National India Yoga Championship. He was undefeated for the following three years.
At seventeen, an injury to his knee during a weight-lifting accident brought the prediction from leading European doctors that he would never walk again.
Not accepting their pronouncement, he had himself carried back to Bishnu Ghosh's school, for he knew that if anyone could help to heal his knee, it was his teacher. Six months later, his knee had totally recovered. Ghosh was a celebrated physical culturist and the first to scientifically document Yoga's ability to cure chronic physical ailments and heal the body, especially chronic physical ailments.
Bikram is the founder of Yoga College of India and has studied the benefits of yoga at some of the worlds leading medical research centers. Bikram's method has also been approved by the American Medical Association. Bikram is one of the most knowledgeable hatha yoga teachers and has brought his curative method of yoga worldwide with now over 3 million addicts!

FISH SPA

Welcome to Dr. FISH (Koh Samui)

We have the pleasure to introduce you to a revolutionary
and rejuvenating experience in natural beauty, health and wellness.....

The GARRA RUFA FISH, also called "Dr. FISH" for their healing properties,
nipple away at your dead skin, leaving the healthy skin to grow, and pamper your feet!
Providing an amazing and relaxing sensation of mini "Jacuzzi" jets that take care of you
...and which tickle at first.
The nibbling of the fish also stimulates the acupuncture points and modulates the nervures
system to relax the body and release fatigue.


Famously known ad "Dr. FISH THERAPY", the healing benefits of the GARRA RUFA FISH
have spread around the world and now, this amazing experience is awaiting you here
on KOH SAMUI

THE FISH:

The Garra Rufa fish originates from the hot spring
pools near Kangal, a small town in Turkey. Discovered in the
early 19th century, these unique fishes are reported to be useful
and effective in curing skin diseases. Some even report of effectiveness
in joint diseases, muscle trauma, rheumatic and neurologic disorders. Over a few sessions in the pools inhabited by the therapeutic Garra Rufas, people suffering from Psoriasis have consistently seen amazing results.

Garra Rufas are a type of bottom-feeding freshwater fish found in the Middle East. The high mineral content and warmth of the water inhabited by the fish creates a shortage of food. This inadvertently made the Garra Rufas evolve to develop their instinct of nibbling dead skin cells from people in the water.

When news of this broke, people from near and far come to sample the unique discovery. Most of the people who had skin problems were cleared of their disease after multiple visits. There are even "fish spa" tours for people from all over the world to sample the magical cures of the Garra Rufa fish till today.
The fish strike and lick the psoriatic plaque - or plaques of other skin diseases - which have been softened by the water.
People with healthy skin probably benefit by the fish clearing away
hyper keratinized portions of their skin.

ABOUT US:


At Dr. Fish Koh Samui we only use Garra Rufa Fish,
the original species used for Fish Spa Skin Pampering & Nibbling
Treatment. They work together as a team to improve skin conditions
through natural exfoliation removing dead skin to allow newer skin to
regenerate. Their strong sucking ability has been the signature of this treatment
since 400 years ago!

Alternatives like the Chin Chin fish from the Tilapia family has a biting characteristic and is deemed to cause microscopic damage to the human skin after long term usage. Chin Chin does not assist in any form of treatment for skin conditions. Chin Chin produces strong bites and they are definitely not for the faint hearted! High replenishing frequency is needed.

ERANDA SPA

Koh Samui Spa & Massage

Koh Samui is a leading spa destination for good reason. The island affords relaxation in its natural environment. Therefore, it was inevitable that this imbued rejuvenation quality extended to man made relaxation treatments.
You’ve come to Samui to indulge, to escape, to reawaken lost senses. How about a little help? The Samui spa scene is becoming staple part of the holiday experience, with each spa offering something uniquely distinctive, and certain to leave you feeling refreshed, calmed, and infinitely happier.
Ask at each spa for a menu to find the perfect treatment for you. The range of massages, treatments and therapies available is out of this world.

Eranda Samui Day Spa

It’s known as ‘The Spa with a View’, and it’s the only one that can honestly make that claim on Samui! Eranda Herbal Spa has been imaginatively laid-out on a beautiful hillside in the north of Chaweng, overlooking lush tropical gardens and the tops of coconut palms, through to the emerald Gulf of Siam beyond. And it’s this elevated position that immediately creates that ‘away from it all’ feeling. There are good reasons why the ancients sought peace and enlightenment on mountainsides and hilltops!

Service is a practiced art-form at Eranda. As soon as you ascend the 30-or-so granite steps leading from the car park and arrive at the thatched reception, you’re welcomed by a smiling receptionist who offers you an ice-cold ginger and tamarind juice. She then guides you helpfully through the list of services on offer, providing samples of all the essential oils too.
And when it comes to choices of spa treatments, Eranda really is hard to beat. For example, there are nine different body-scrubs alone, including an excellent Ginger Cream Scrub which has proven anti-cellulite and firming qualities. And there’s a wide range of body-wraps too, with the Moroccan Red Clay & Roselle Wrap great for naturally exfoliating dead skin cells before nourishing the new ones.
But do try one of Eranda’s all-inclusive packages if you have the time, and if you think you deserve something special! The couples’ 4 ? hour Eranda Experience (with its herbal steam, Jacuzzi, body-scrubs, body-wraps, massages, facials and foot massages) is a highly recommended package for honeymooners and lovers alike.
The eight private treatment suites (six have their own Jacuzzis and steam rooms) are something special, too; spa facilities just don’t come better than these – anywhere. And they are spread throughout the spa grounds on nine levels, which are named after the six levels of heaven (rather appropriately), the overall name of heaven, the Chedi, and God himself.

Whether you’ve opted for just a traditional Thai massage by one of Eranda’s ‘Wat Po’ trained masseuses (they have a resident massage teacher, too), their unique oil massage, which successfully blends Thai with occidental techniques in a most enjoyable way, or feel totally self-indulgent and choose to spoil yourself with one of the fabulous packages, you’ll be sure of having a great Samui spa experience!

MATAHARI

Mata Hari Samui Day Spa

"The sense of paradise “

It’s quite incredible. One minute you’re strolling down the busy Chaweng Beach Road, with all the hustle and bustle of busy shoppers and beeping taxis. And the next, you’ve entered a discreet passageway next to Samui Hot Club (near The Islander pub), which leads you along to an oasis of total peace and calm, namely – Mata Hari Samui Day Spa. But don’t make the mistake of thinking that this is just another one of those massage and reflexology ‘shops’ that line the roads. It’s not. This is a fully-fledged spa in every sense of the word. And it really is quite lovely.
As you enter through the glass-fronted doors and immerse yourself in the welcome air-conditioning you’ll find yourself in a tastefully styled wood-paneled reception area. And this touch of class will give you an indication of what’s to come at Mata Hari.
The first person you’ll meet will probably be the Spa Manager – Khun Patcharee Mueadnok. She’s been a spa professional on Samui for many years now and makes selection from the extensive spa menu a fun and pleasurable experience. Have whatever treatments you prefer, but if you need any guidance then Khun ‘Pat’ will happily make informed suggestions.
Every treatment that you’d expect from a quality spa is offered here, including its ever-popular Breast-firming Massage, Slimming Massage and Hot Stone Massage. And the five-hour honeymooner’s package, The Essence of Love, with all manner of massages, scrubs, wraps and pampering has proved to be a firm favorite with couples (even those who’ve been married a few years!)
Choose to have your treatments in one of the five well-appointed standard rooms, or opt for one of four VIP suites (complete with private Jacuzzi, Swedish sauna and personal shower facilities). Wherever you go, you’ll find the same high levels of comfort and class with particularly relaxing
Indian back ground music. And this fits the overall Asian theme of Mata Hari perfectly, with its subtle blend of Thai, Cambodian, Indian and Indonesian d?cor. And a big mention must be made about the service. Not only are the therapists extremely well-trained and good at what they do, but their unobtrusive friendliness is second to none. They obviously enjoy what they are doing and make every effort to ensure that you do, too. Even down to providing you with fruit and biscuits, and tea, coffee or juices after. Oh! And they have a free transfer service anywhere in the Bophut, Chaweng and Lamai area. Yes, it really is quite incredible at Mata Hari.
