Thai Horizons
October 31-November 7, 2026
A Summit Retreat of Culture, Stillness and Soul
8 Days, 7 Nights of Blissful Immersion
High above the sapphire shores of Koh Samui, Thai Horizons is a bespoke yoga retreat where refined luxury meets soulful exploration. Set atop a secluded mountain peak with uninterrupted 360-degree views, this retreat offers the island’s most stunning sunsets and a spacious perspective for deep inner renewal.
Guests will reside in an exquisite private villa — fully staffed with a dedicated chef, housekeepers, and concierge — ensuring a seamless experience of comfort and care. Here, infinity pools mirror the sky, tropical gardens soothe the senses, and every detail is thoughtfully curated for serenity.
Each day invites balance: grounding yoga and meditation practices, immersive Thai cultural experiences such as sacred temple visits and traditional cooking classes, and moments of stillness to soak in the natural beauty that surrounds you. Private blessings with local monks and curated excursions offer authentic connection to the land and its spiritual heart.
From gourmet meals to guided practices, from hillside quiet to golden sunsets, Thai Horizons is more than a retreat — it’s an awakening, where body, mind, and spirit rise together above the rhythms of everyday life

Lori Denton, Founder Soul Sana Retreats
After gymnastics, dance and cheerleading through high school, college and professionally (go Ravens!) left her body unable to handle high-impact workouts but still craving movement, Lori’s transition to yoga and pilates provided a powerfully transformative way to stay connected to both body and mind. After moving to Georgia and missing the connection she had found at studios where she had lived and practiced around North America, she decided to open a studio to build that sanctuary for movement and mindfulness.
In 2019, Lori took the leap and acquired her first yoga studio, marking the beginning of a journey that would see her expand into Pilates in 2022 with the launch of PowerUp Pilates at the Forum Athletic Club in Halcyon. Today, with four flourishing yoga studios and three thriving Pilates locations, Lori remains deeply grateful for her dedicated team, whose passion and expertise empower clients to discover their strongest, most capable selves every single day.
After two decades in the gaming industry, Lori made the decision to leave her corporate role in business development behind, dedicating herself fully to nurturing her growing community of wellness enthusiasts. An unwavering advocate for inclusivity and accessibility, Lori is committed to creating an environment where yoga and Pilates are celebrated as pathways to health and vitality for individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.
Lori has a Baptiste Yoga Teaching Credential, Yoga Sculpt and Group Fitness certification from CorePower Yoga, and two 200-hour yoga teacher training certifications from Lift Yoga. Additionally, she is a certified Balanced Body Reformer Pilates instructor.
