Cherry Chu - TourHero

Cherry has built a career and life on holistic healthy living, incorporating yoga with wellness and spirituality. She first learnt about yoga and mindfulness in 2012 and found her practice provides a good mental and physical balance for the demanding work culture in her previous job in the aviation industry.

She received her first professional yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, India. Since she has put yoga and mental health at a higher priority in life, she continues to pursue her education and now she is a certified level two tuning fork therapist, certified yin yoga instructor, certified kids yoga and mindfulness teacher and yoga wheel instructor.

Cherry likes to personalize her class for her students to meet individual's needs. Her students find her teaching style different from traditional yoga. Not only does she emphasize on body-mind connections, she also includes her knowledge on kinesiology and body mobility into her class. She loves to focus on details and always structures her class with fun elements and appropriate level of challenge. Her goal is to bring a well-rounded wellness service to people with different backgrounds and age groups.

Nicha Explorations logo

Nicha Exploration was established in 2022 by Bo Srivalwat with a passion to make vacationing to Southeast Asia, her home region, special to everyone. Bo was born and raised in Thailand. Growing up, she found joy and peace through traveling and exploring different cultures and activities.

During her time at business school, Bo also led the Thailand Cultural Trek for the Wharton Southeast Asia Club, utilizing her expertise as a local, as well as her understanding about traveling as an active traveler herself. She was overwhelmed by the positive feedback she received from the trek members and decided to start Nicha Exploration. With local expertise and the love of their country and culture, the Nicha team crafts vacation experiences that provide not only ultimate leisure but also personal growth and unique experiences for travelers.

Fantastic experience

I had a fantastic time traveling with the Nicha team to Vietnam and Thailand. They planned a series of thoughtful, authentic, and fun excursions for us. The tour guides were informative, kind, and engaging. Highly recommend traveling with them if you’re interested in exploring a new place in a fun and authentic way. As an MBA grad, founder Bo knows how to strike the right balance of high quality stays, enjoyable cultural and educational outings, delicious meals, and energetic nights out.

High quality of services

From planning, execution to finish of the retreat, I have been fully supported by Bo from Nicha Exploration. All of my opinions were heard and adjustments were made accordingly. Bo did really great on meeting expectations from me and every participants. Her responses were always prompt. There is literally nothing I can complain about Nicha Exploration's services.

Once you've settled in and dropped your bags, we'll come together for a Flexibility & Mobility session, along with our Opening Circle. Let your body flow in harmony with the gentle movements of yoga — feel a sense of healing as you release hidden tensions and ground yourself while you connect with the group.

As the sun sets, we'll enjoy our first meal together over a joyful welcome dinner. Savor the flavors of local cuisine and connect with your fellow retreat companions as we fill the night with positive vibes, delicious food, and soulful connections, setting the tone for the transformative journey that lies ahead.

Today, an incredible adventure for the senses awaits as we journey to the stunning Phi Phi Islands.

Once we’re refueled, prepare to unlock your body's potential with a detox yoga session, a practice that promises to cleanse and revitalize.
