ABOUT TWEE

Twee Merrigan is an internationally certified teacher and trainer of Prana Flow Yoga, an empowering, transformational, and evolutionary style of Vinyasa Yoga.

Twee’s unique teaching style encourages students to explore the infinite intelligence of prana (life energy), to listen to their inner teacher, and to respond and move from their own center of truth.

Through this empowering and transformative process of placing the body in a sacred way, body mudras unfold within our sacred practice as we no longer do yoga; but rather we are yoga.

ABOUT HOI AN

Situated on the banks of the Thu Bon River, Hoi An was one of the major trading centers of Southeast Asia in the 16th century, and was declared a World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999.

Dotted along Hoi An’s narrow pedestrian streets are stunning examples of Japanese, Chinese and French architecture. Centuries of foreign trade have left Hoi An with a quaint and unique culture and a very relaxed vibe.

Our resort is just 2km from Hoi An ancient town, on the white sands of China Beach.
