  • The name of Angkor, capital of the Khmer empire
    from 9th to 15th centuries, resonates with
    ancient mystery. Today it encompasses the vast
    Angkor Archaeological Park.

    just two minutes from the beach, among the most
    spectacular coastlines in Southeast Asia.

    consciousness and create inner harmony,
    countering prevailing trends in Western yoga,
    which can be more competitive.

The Meaning of Namaste
  • A common greeting at start or end of a yoga
    class, Namaste literally means I bow to you.
    It conveys the deeper meaning behind most
    traditional yoga.
  • Combined with the gesture of hands pressed
    together in front of the heart, it recognizes a
    divine element in each of us, centered in the
    heart chakra, and amounts to one soul greeting
    the other.
  • Offered with a slight head bow, it helps the
    individual surrender the mind to the heart.
