Brave Fish Yoga Cambodia Retreat

May 12-20, 2020

Welcome to Brave FishMother and daughter duo, Clare and Daisy, have been running retreats for over a decade. It is an honour and privilege to have this opportunity to share over thirty years of collective yoga knowledge and teaching experience with you.

We are extremely passionate about what we do and are always keen to prompt our students to look far beyond the physical dimension of yoga and to move away from the “arbitrary standard” in modern yoga.

Our dream is to encourage all students, whatever their ability, to feel a valuable part of this traditional yoga community.

Clare and Daisy are fortunate enough to be able to continue ongoing training with some of the finest teachers in the world including Shri Dharma Mittra, Shiva Rea, Sarah Powers, Bernie Clark and Paul Grilley.

Clare has also studied the History of Yoga and the great Hindu Epics at Oxford University Centre for Hindu Studies.

We welcome you all to...

Erase the boundaries you have drawn around yourselves.

We will be hosted at the idyllic Navutu Dreams Resort, on the quiet outskirts of town. The property has three swimming pools, inside and outside shalas, beautiful gardens and plenty of secluded and relaxing private areas. The rooms are beautiful, immaculately clean, with en suite bathrooms, air conditioning, wifi and coffee/tea service.

The open-air restaurant serves up a wide variety of Khmer & Italian favourites as well as contemporary international dishes. Surrounded by the serenity of tropical gardens and pools, the restaurant offers a truly relaxing atmosphere. The retreat includes two freshly prepared meals daily.

Retreat costs include a private tuktuk for your excursions into town and the surrounding area as well as a complimentary one hour massage at the spa. During our week together we will share four hours of yoga (Yang & Yin) every day in the beautiful shala on site in addition to optional lectures, Nia classes and morning meditation.

Welcome to the Kingdom of Wonder

Bokator Demonstration The Lost City of Mahendraparvata is the birthplace of the Angkorian Empire. We’ll ride in jeeps through the diverse rural coun-tryside to the escarpment where the road winds steeply up the hillside and into the forest. We’ll hike up to see the reclining Bud-dha swim in waterfalls in the River of 1,000 Lingas and enjoy a beautiful picnic lunch river-side.

Water blessings are a traditional Cambodian practice that date back to ancient times. The blessings take place in an ancient pagoda in the countryside, just south of Siem Reap. The ritual involves vessels of blessed water being poured over your head while the monks chant, cleansing you of all negative energy.

Water Blessing Evening Out & DinnerJoin us for a fun evening out at Haven Restaurant, where “helping has never tasted so good”.

The Ponheary Ly Foundation and Haven have worked together for a decade to bring valuable vocational training to young people interested in the culinary arts.

Bokator is a Khmer martial art from the ninth century, used by the ancient Angkorian warriors for combat and self-defence. The tradition is carried on by the Federation Sak Yant in Siem Reap who are also maintaining the knowledge of ancient tattooing which protect the fighters from harm.
