About
About this getaway
Taiwan ChaoChaoWo Yoga Healing Forest (巢巢窩療癒森林) is an intimate yoga and healing retreat in Yujing District, Tainan — a sanctuary where guests practice yoga, meditation, and mindfulness on land restored through natural farming and non-toxic ecology.
Founders Amalina and Lokanatha built ChaoChaoWo around harmony with nature, Ayurvedic and organic vegan nourishment, and small-group retreats limited to about 12 participants. Programs include Ayurveda and yoga retreats, juice fasting and detox immersions, energy-transforming workshops, and international / yogi retreat formats — with English-facing pages for overseas travellers.
The team includes Scott, Yun, MingYi, and Uma alongside the founders. Guests book direct through en.taiwanchaochaowo.com. For Canadian, U.S., and international wellness planners researching Taiwan yoga forests and English-accessible Tainan retreats, ChaoChaoWo offers a book-direct alternative to large resort corridors.
For travellers comparing English-accessible Taiwan yoga forests, ChaoChaoWo highlights the natural healing energy of Yujing land, intimate retreats of about 12 guests for high-quality English-speaking programs, and Ayurvedic living with colorful vegetarian cuisine that supports deep relaxation and renewal. Guest video testimonials are shared so real participant feedback can speak alongside the photography.
ChaoChaoWo also hosts an annual winter retreat near Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia. Dates, rooms, and booking are on the international program page and in Packages below.
ChaoChaoWo's story begins with Amalina and Lokanatha. Over three decades ago their paths intertwined in a shared journey of self-discovery and service across Taiwan. Balancing Amalina's English school work and Lokanatha's craftsmanship with a yogic lifestyle, they eventually rooted ChaoChaoWo Yoga Healing Forest as a place where people and land heal together.
