  Not a fitness course or just asana training
The Yoga: Quality. Guided with great care and tempo, for me remains the biggest lesson on teaching. Many join this course having... read more already done a 200h from other schools but find they want/need to learn Meditation, pranayama from teachers top of their field. I did it two times, in 2022 and 2019(first time I didn't think I would teach).

Teachers: Excellent training team, each have unique teaching styles but all very up to date on sports science. Often seen spending goooood time and energy trying to explain, assist, demonstrate the goals and priorities. focused on us understanding the purpose of the asana, never ever seen forcing alignment/assists, nor have I seen them sugarcoating if one’s alignment/form is bad. Keeping it real, balanced. The care and dedication here is true art. 

The Training:
-Anatomy: not easy but not to worry Arielle is a natural for teaching: emphasis on how it relates to alignment, how to avoid injuries, keeping yoga practice safe and healthy, visual presentation, practical exercises, study quizzes. Main points are hard to miss(even as second language ) 
-Asana study (paired so all happens in the same day ) pose alignment and anatomy in movement + how to cue teaching + real practice teaching while teachers are right there available, optional but a great time to ask for help!!  During these hours I got most my training-understanding. By realising I ONLY ever followed traditional Mysore alignment/assists and had never heard of ¨interoception¨  How to teach if it is switched off?? Am I even a yogi?Quite the ego trip
Just in time for philosophy.. Good thing Paul's humour masterfully leads from absolute nonsense -through Sanskrit nonsense, stories of life in yoga, deep inner confusion, Sanskrit confusion seconds later the whole class laughing again— into concepts you can actually apply to real life and easily remember by his jokes.

Value: Coming from Spain this was above my budget for yoga but could not find similar place with experienced yogis/teachers/scholars (felt key for me so i can let the information in, embrace the challenge). It was worth it!! + bonus value: I never enjoyed breath work before.. After a month of pranayama properly guided, I knew I had to keep practicing to help with anxiety, few months later covid hit and I just can’t imagine how I could have handled the stress and anxiety of business crisis without breath awareness.

The place: Feels more like a home, important for a month long training. Food is amazing! The rooms are hotel quality, bed super comfortable. Cycling/fitness room is open to do extra workouts or dance parties to balance all that learning. The beach is peaceful, quiet, white sand and seashells. Any side you walk? private island vibes: coconut tree forest and waves. One of the best in Samui!

  Heaven - I recently visited this place, the location is amazing, this is heaven for any yoga lover. All the atmosphere is carefully crafted to provide a sense of peace and relaxation.... read more

highly recommended and I can't wait to return for my next holiday in Thailand!

  Wonderful place to relax and practice yoga - I spent one week at Samahita and I wished I have more time as I enjoyed it to the fullest! The yoga and core/cycle workouts were great. The unique Samahita... read more yoga style is pleasent and the techers are always very well coordinated to provide the best experience to the guests. For the afternoon core/cycle sessions we always had options so that all levels could participate and have a demanding workout. The rooms and all amenities are very spaceous and nicely decorated and the food is just delicious and healthy. I felt like at home from the very first day when I was warmly welcomed by the staff. Thank you so much to the whole team, I am looking forward to join again in the future.

  Mind-opening experience - Lovely and quiet place combined with really good yoga and core classes for all levels, super friendly staff, delicious and healthy food, the best massages ever and meeting great people... read more from all over the world! I stayed for two weeks and can highly recommend it. Can’t wait to go again :)

  Great experience- loved it. - I had never been to a wellness/ yoga retreat before so was apprehensive. I shouldn’t have worried- i immediately felt very welcome. The yoga was tailored for everyone- I am... read more an inflexible novice, but it was never an issue. I was also pleasantly surprised that there were many other solo travelers so I wasn’t lonely. The instructors were great- in particular I loved the newest instructor Jac, who made yoga so accessible to all - from the most accomplished yogis( and there were many) to no vices like me. The food and accommodation was great, and the therapies onnoffer( massages etc) were next level. It was a great experience and one that I would do again in a heartbeat.

  Superb experience - best retreat!

It’s more than Yoga & Breathwork, although that is main purpose, its an experience, it’s life changing. Its meeting new people, listening to... read more everyone’s journey as you dine together and being part of it all. Embracing all the retreat offers and being open minded.
Imagine waking up to morning stretches and breathing techniques with the ocean and nature sounds as your back drop - you can’t find a better place than Samahita. It’s breath taking! Whether you are new to Yoga or very experienced it accommodates all. You will learn some amazing techniques for meditation too.

The team at Samahita make it - Gill, Daniel, Jack, Fong, So and many more. They make the stay perfect. If you are there to improve on your yoga techniques or perhaps need a new focus or mind reset - Gill and Daniel and Jack will guide you through it all. So the fitness instructor will get you fit at the daily core /cycle classes (optional) and Fong along with the front desk team will help you manage your schedule or any requests through your stay.
Excellent wellness spa with a selection of massages to compliment your needs. The ladies in the spa have magic hands. I recommend the Abdominal massage - it’s a must have.
The evenings and some of the classes had the fabulous resident singer Daphne Tse perform. Everyone gets involved even if singing isn’t your thing, its truly beautiful and powerful too.

I stayed for 10 nights.genuinely wishing I could have stayed for more. I will definitely be returning. A lot of people I met there had been many times before, that says a lot!

The accommodation is perfect. Very comfortable rooms with all the facilities you need. All rooms have AC.

There is a few hours of downtime during the day which can be filled by lying by the pool chilling or using the saunas (including infrared) or wellness spa or heading around the island sightseeing, walking the beach and even better - giving back by helping clean the beach. It’s a beautiful clean beach but rubbish washes up that needs our help to maintain and clear.

Thoroughly recommend booking Yoga Core Cycle (YCC) as a minimum and for as many days that your schedule allows. Pack light, there is a super very affordable laundry service so no need to bring too much.

Thank you team Samahita! I will always be very grateful for your time and effort to make my experience perfect!
