Yoga at the Sanctuary

The Sanctuary Yoga is one of the oldest regular yoga programs in Thailand.  For over 25 years, we have offered a wide variety of transformative and fun yoga classes.  Our yoga classes are tailored for people of all levels and experience.  Beginners can learn the basics and continue to build their yoga practice; more experienced students can come join us to take their yoga to the next levels of depth.  Truly, Sanctuary Yoga is for everyone.

We offer 2 regular daily classes, each with its own flavour.  Our morning class is more dynamic and is similar to the Vinyasa Flow style, but with lots of breath, philosophy and meditation mixed in.  The afternoon class is quieter, focusing on stretching and releasing in the Yin Yoga style.

You can join us for drop-in classes or sign up for a complete yoga package that includes private lessons and other perks, to make your yoga experience even more delicious. Please see below for details.

Daily Schedule

  • Vinyasa Flow and Breath, 8.30-10am daily
  • For beginners and fasters 10.30am 
  • Afternoon Class: Yin Yoga and Breath, 4pm -5.30pm 
Anneriek FavelleAnneriek Favelle ★★★★★ The sancturary is devine!!! The place, the staff, the food. I ran a yoga retreat here and I'll definitely be back. Love you guys 🔥🧡Natalie RaulinNatalie Raulin ★★★★★ I'll never forget how kind and caring the staff is at The Sanctuary. I still remember Sam & Chard! Hoping to make it back there sooner than later. Great options for vegans & vegetarians. Not to mention the most fabulous healing one can get such as meditation, yoga, water healing & cleansing. Keep up the good work folks!!Jack SpicerJack Spicer ★★★★☆ Beautiful and breathtaking yoga retreat nuzzled on a remote beach on the island of Koh Phangan. It’s the perfect place to get away and really be in a remote part of nature in the jungle for whatever reason you may need on your journey of personal growth. The accommodation was clean and private, although be prepared to surrender some comforts of a modern hotel. The hike to your room might be a little bit long.Although the hotel is centered around its yoga offerings, it also boasts a restaurant, spa, shop, and coarse coral sand beach. The staff is ready to help for whatever assistance you may need. Just down to the next beach is another cliff top restaurant with a fantastic view of the ocean.Be aware that this is a difficult location to reach. The boat drivers that leave from Haad Rin will wait for a full boat. This is not your typical Uber ride, and you may have to wait or pay more in order to reach the sanctuary. The back road in is incredibly bumpy. Do not book this hotel if you are not prepared to make that journey.The prices felt high, although we did visit around the time of the full moon party, which the whole island revolves around. Keep that in mind when planning your travels.Lily TunbridgeLily Tunbridge ★★★★★ A truly magical place:Firstly the Location WOW, the remote bay is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Haad Rin and the rest of the island, enmeshed in the jungle and at one with nature.The staff working here really do make you feel looked after, the kindest staff members I have ever encountered.The Sanctuary offers to all !With a caring and kind range of quality yoga teachers.

Tips and tools to enhance the quality of your daily life.

Interview with Peter

Most people breathe unconsciously throughout the day. Breathing is something we’ve never learned how to do, we just started doing it from the moment we were born.

Breath is Life

Breathing is something we do every day. But how many seconds, how many minutes or hours a day are you aware of the way you breathe?

Moments of Stillness

Creating moments of stillness in your life, a space within your busy life to just be with yourself where you can reflect, wonder, be curious… a space of discovery, of learning something new about yourself.

We are much more than we believe we are.

Aren't you curious?

Curious what your true potential is?
