Today, let's celebrate wellness in all its forms ☺️ Whether you feel like taking a moment to breathe deeply, move your body, nourish your mind and soul, or anything else, wellness for all of us comes in different ways. Remember, wellness is individual and unique to each one of us, so let's all encourage each other to find our own version of it this Global Wellness Day 🙏

Global Wellness Day organisers describe the main aims of the day as below:

- To recognize the value of our lives
- To pause and think, even if for just one day of the year
- To be free from the stress of everyday city life and bad habits
- To make peace with ourselves
- To raise awareness about living well and increase motivation, not just for today, but for the remaining 364 days of the year

It's not uncommon to hear someone say "I'm not flexible enough to do yoga"

Sometimes people mistake being flexible to being "good" at Yoga, which is not actually true. Putting aside the fact that being "good" at Yoga is not really a very meaningful metric to think about, it's good to remember that Yoga is so much more than just being flexible. It is about the journey, which is personal to us individually. It's about connecting with your body and mind. It's working towards understanding your breath and how it impacts your life and your practice. Yoga is very much also about strength and creating stability, as well as finding balance both in body and mind 😌 it's being good to yourself.

For some, someone we might call "hypermobile", their natural flexibility actually poses an injury risk, so they might need to focus more on building strength and support for their hypermobility. So, it's good to keep in mind that every single body is different; our body structure, joints, shapes, muscles, injuries, age, our mind... there is no one correct shape or type. So if you don't think you are flexible, that's completely fine. You make your practice your own, with the help of our experienced teachers.

Yoga is for Every Body 🧡

Glistening in the Sun ✨☀️

Thai Buddhist temples have a beautiful feature to them - the way they catch the sunlight and shine it back out towards us. This particular temple at Wat Si Suparam temple area is one of the quieter, less visited ones in Phuket. We often have the whole temple area to ourselves when we visit, with only a few monks around. It is a wonderful way to experience the calm and beauty of Thai temples, which is why we make sure we don't only visit the popular, busy temples, but include these in our tour as well 😊

We have people from all around the world, of all backgrounds, and of all types, and we wouldn't have it any other way here at Hilltop 🙏☺️

Such Beautiful Views of Phuket Island from Black Rock Viewpoint 😍

Black Rock Viewpoint is the perfect place to visit and take in the beauty of nature, and the spot we visit specifically is rarely crowded due to being a little further along and through a small jungle path. It is a lovely little trek, not too strenuous, albeit still hot when sunny ☀️ Our guide will share bits of interesting information on Phuket, Thai culture, and the nature around us specifically. It is easily one of the most scenic views of Phuket, which hopefully comes across through these photos taken from our excursion.

Seeing the sun rise while going through your morning yoga practice is special 🌄🧘‍♀️

We always say it's okay if you're not a morning person, and it's okay if you can't make it to our sunrise yoga sessions. There is nothing wrong with that, it's not for everyone to be waking up so early for yoga, especially on their holiday. It's your time here, your practice, your preference, you will not be pressured here at Hilltop.

If you are of the type who is able to enjoy getting up early, however, it's an absolutely amazing experience to witness the sunrise, the transition from night to morning light, the fresh morning air. The sunrise yoga classes are definitely something you won't forget in a while. We love our sunrises here at Hilltop, it's a big part of our identity. It's a unique class in Phuket, given how we are facing the sunrise and located up on a hill with a wonderful view, and a unique yoga experience you can't quite find anywhere else.

If you've already visited us, did you try the sunrise yoga classes?

The beautiful Wat Chalong.

Wat Chalong, built in the early 19th century, is one of the most visited and the largest temple here in Phuket, Thailand 🇹🇭 It's actually called Wat Chaiyathararam, but it's more commonly known as Wat Chalong. The building you see here, "Chedi", is the most recent building at this temple area. It raises to 60 meters tall, and you can enter the building and marvel at the interior and design of the building, as well as the stunning views from the top.

We visit Wat Chalong on our Thursdays' Temple Tour. If you want to learn more about our excursions, comment "tours" on this post or check out our website through our profile.

Yoga is sometimes misunderstood as a practice where reaching certain shapes and poses exactly as "you are supposed to" is the primary goal. You may or may not reach a given shape in a yoga pose for a countless number of reasons; all our body types and bone structures are unique, our tissues and joints work differently, we may have injuries old or new, and the list goes on. Yoga is so much more than just reaching a certain shape.

It is a journey of self-discovery. It’s about strengthening the link between your mind and your body. Every breath, every moment in yoga practice is a step towards understanding ourselves better. It is a journey towards acceptance, towards wellness and wellbeing of you and those around you. It is about learning. Yoga welcomes all - every shape, every size, every person. Instead of worrying about reaching a certain shape perfectly, let’s celebrate the diversity of our journeys, because "Yoga is not about touching your toes. It is what you learn on the way down."

The Beautiful Temples of Phuket 🧡

Which one would you choose to go to out of these photos?

There are more than 25 Buddhist temples in Phuket, Thailand, some of them more well known than others. Every Thursday, we visit a number of them, selected to be a balance of less visited temples and the more common highlights of Phuket. Our temple tour takes you to peaceful and quiet temples where most tourists never go, and to the must see common stops such as the Big Buddha or Wat Chalong.

While visiting, our guide will show and explain the part these temples, monks, and religion overall play in Thai culture, and you'll learn more about the temples themselves too. We want our guests to come out of this experience not only having seen some beautiful architecture, though that is of course a granted 😊, but also with a slightly better understanding of everything related to these temples, the culture, and Buddhism in general.

To learn more about our temple tour, and other tours we offer, comment "temples" on this post. Or if you prefer, check out our website through the link on our profile page 😊🙏

Reverse Warrior Pose Tips 🧘‍♀️

✨ Focus on building the pose from feet upwards: Spread the weight evenly on both feet and finding a stable support at the roots of the pose.

✨ Use both legs actively: Check that you're not only leaning weight on one leg but try to keep yourself at the centre. One way of doing this is to push yourself upwards with the front leg and downwards with the back leg.

✨ Find freedom in the upper body: Once you've found the support in your feet and strength in the legs, let your spine and arms become light and free.

✨ It might be useful to move in and out of the pose a few times before staying for longer in the sidebend - just to feel that freedom of movement in your upper body.

Any tips of your own? Do feel free to add them in the comments, sharing with our community is much appreciated!
