Restore with Gisele

If you are traveling alone, but prefer to share your room, we will do our best to match you with another traveler of the same gender. If for some reason we are not able to match you with a roommate, a single supplement will apply to enjoy your own private room.

The purchase of travel insurance is strongly recommended to ensure you are covered should any unexpected event arise. A personal, political, environmental, or weather-related incident or pre-existing medical condition may prevent or interrupt your travels. These events are rare but do occur and underscore the importance of being covered by travel insurance. Should you elect to not purchase travel insurance, you will be assuming 100% of any costs incurred for trip cancellations or trip interruption. There is a broad spectrum of policies and options so be sure you are clear on what exactly is covered.

All breakfasts are included, and we will enjoy a fabulous made-to-order selection and a buffet every morning. Given all the amazing cafes and restaurants around our hotel, we do not include lunch and dinner, except for the Welcome Dinner and the Group Farewell Dinner. We have found that guests like to have options regarding where they eat. The options of places to eat are amazing and they are inexpensive, of high quality, including vegan and gluten free options, if needed. I will be happy to share some of our favorite restaurants and cafe recommendations. You will need to let us know if you have any allergies or specific food preferences (gluten free, dairy free, vegan…etc).

We will practice various types of themed Yoga sessions daily, except for the free day, and the morning of departure for your flight back home. We encourage participants to take part in as many classes and excursions as they can but also invite each participant to take care of themselves even if that means taking a break and taking time alone. All classes are encouraged and optional. I will be teaching various types of yoga and meditation sessions as I incorporate the 4 elements (Earth, Water, Fire and Air) throughout the week. Additionally, I will introduce you to a few special guest teachers for our Gong and Tibetan bowl sessions.

All yoga props will be ready and waiting for you. I provide all the props needed, including yoga mats, blocks, and blankets.

Yes. While we hope you’ll try and unplug and take some much-needed time offline, there is reliable high-speed Wi-fi access, at the hotel, at no additional cost. Wi-fi is also widely available for free at most restaurants and spas in Chiang Mai.

October is a great time of year to enjoy comfortable weather in Chiang Mai. The average temperature in October is 30C (86F) degrees during the day and 18 C (66F) degrees in the evening. Northern Thailand is typically sunny this time of year, with relatively low humidity.

Getting around Chiang Mai is so easy and very inexpensive. From our hotel, you are just a few minutes’ walk from shopping, restaurants, spas, coffee shops, and all the conveniences of the city. The staff at the hotel are happy to arrange drivers as needed, and it is easy to hire a Tuk-Tuk or a taxi driver from anywhere you are in the city. A few dollars will take you a long way.

It is recommended to have cash (THB, Thai Baht) as some of the local shops do not accept credit cards. It’s handy to carry smaller bills for gratuities which are always appreciated. Remember to tell your bank and credit card companies the dates that you will be traveling. Using your debit card at the ATM’s is often the easiest way to get cash. ATM machines are plentiful in Thailand. Credit cards are also accepted in most restaurants. Mastercard and Visa seem to be the preferred credit cards accepted as we have noticed that many places do not accept American Express.
