Getting to Know Love – Club Med Yoga G.O

At Club Med, yoga is just one of the many activities that are included in your all-inclusive package. And like all activities, the G.O’s who conduct the classes are trained experts in their field. So if you are an experienced yoga fundi, you’ll find the right class to keep you at your peak. However, don’t be intimidated if you have never done yoga, or if you have just started – Club Med has a class to suit all levels and with their trademark focus on the G.M’s, each instructor will make sure that you get the most out of the class.

One of Club Med’s more experienced yoga G.O’s (having worked at seven Club Med resorts), is Pangrak Supapattrasiree (otherwise known as Love) is currently based at Club Med Phuket. We recently caught up with her.

Why did you choose to work at Club Med

I love travelling, fitness and meeting new people. I am also quite restless and like to move every two years or so. Club Med is the perfect employer, satisfying all those needs!

How did you become a yoga G.O?

I was a Pilates instructor at a gym and then started getting more involved with yoga, eventually studying in India. Club Med is the best place for me to teach yoga and to explore the world. I also love being part of the G.O team and helping with various fitness activities.

Which resorts were you in before Club Med Phuket?

I have basically experienced most of Asia. The Club Med village I was in before Phuket, was in the Maldives – which was beautiful and I loved doing sunset yoga on the beach with the G.Ms. I was also at villages in Japan, China and Indonesia. Next up I think it is time for Europe or America where I can experience a different ambience! I am excited to not know what is around the next corner. And when my bags are packed and I am at the airport, ready for the next adventure, my excitement really peaks.

Do you have a favourite nationality to host?

No! As long as the G.M is happy and I am helping them make the most of their experience, I am happy. Each country and its inhabitants are interesting in their own way.

Can anyone do yoga whilst at a Club Med resort?

For sure! When you are at home, one often has an excuse of no time or no flexibility. On holiday, you really can let go – and whether you are a first-timer or very experienced, we guide the classes accordingly. Yoga puts your mind and body together and being on holiday is the perfect time to give yourself this gift.

Club Med Phuket offers morning and afternoon yoga classes for beginners, intermediate and expert yoga aficionados as well as a daily aquatics yoga session in the Zen pool to wind down the day and prepare for the evenings festivities.
