I did my Yoga Teacher training with Randall & Freya in March of 20204. It was truly transformational & turning point in my life. A little over a year ago, my physical and mental health were at an all-time low. Yoga, and the incredible guidance provided throughout this program, have been instrumental in my remarkable transformation. I landed at the Sanctuary one year prior to deciding of doing the YTT & the environment, staff, yoga teachers, vibes & food truly helped me gain my health back.The emphasis on progress over perfection resonated deeply with me, creating a supportive and authentic learning environment. This focus allowed me to explore my practice without judgment, building strength and confidence both on and off the mat.I am incredibly grateful for the dedication of the teachers and the healing power of yoga itself. Randall is truly one of the best ad most authentic teachers you will find & his life long dedication to yoga demonstrates it. This program has 100% equipped me with the knowledge and tools to share this transformative practice with others.If you're seeking a truly transformative yoga teacher training experience, look no further.

This place gives you the feeling of having found another home from the moment you set foot on the bay. You can feel that special people - staff and visitors together - shaped the Sanctuary and its surroundings over the last decades, with a special motivation: building a place to recharge, recover maybe, finding peace. The food is amazing, the staff, the trainers and yoga teachers. And also the people that come here, many since many years. It’s a community.I took part in a 200h yoga teacher training at the Swara Yoga Academy at the Sanctuary guided by Randall o’Leary, and can recommend these four weeks of intensive learning from my heart. Very accessible, a way to deeply reconnect to yourself, the body, mind and especially focusing on the breath. Even if you don’t count yourself as an advanced practitioner you can take part, you will be able to finish the training. Go try :)
Response from the owner: Your amazing words are more than just a review - they're a gift to our hearts! We're so grateful for you taking the time to share your experience, and we're thrilled you enjoyed everything The sanctuary has to offer. We look forward to personally welcoming you back soon!Nolan

This was one of the best things I ever did in my life. For my body, for my soul, for feeling connected to myself and others.I took part in the 200 hour yoga teacher training offered by the Swara Yoga Academy in the Sanctuary with the best teachers ever - Randall and Freya. From the first moment they made clear: this yoga course is not about maximum performance, acrobatic tricks or competition. It‘s about experiencing yourself, feeling good, gathering more energy than you loose in your daily life.At the same time you can learn challenging yoga poses. They guide you there step by step.In our group we felt like a family and had lots of fun in class. Thank you so much also for this, dear Freya and Randall. I love your sense of humour!And last but not least: the beautiful blue sea, delicious breakfast every day on the beach, the loveliest staff you can imagine in the restaurants and reception and everywhere in the Sanctuary.Just simply a wonderful place to be.I miss you all.
Response from the owner: Your happiness while staying with us at the Sanctuary brings a smile to our faces. We cherish the opportunity to create a haven for our guests, and we truly look forward to welcoming you back with open arms someday.Nolan

A quiet haven, away from agendas, pollution, noise and distractions. The perfect getaway for friends, couples or solo travellers to unplug, focus on their well being take yoga classes, eat clean, attend meditation classes, holistic therapies, workshops, swim in the ocean... get spoilt by the wonderful staff. Get excellent massages and treatments, meet like minded people on a journey of self discovery, finding their purpose and slowing down. Eat, breathe and be grateful. Thank you all.Ps: the first time I stumbled upon the sanctuary was in 2008! I promised myself I'd be back one day! Only took me 16 years!
Response from the owner: We're thrilled to hear you had an amazing time! 🌟 We can't wait to welcome you back for more fun and great memories. See you again soon!Cheers! 🥂✨

This place is truly special, not just for its breathtaking nature and peaceful atmosphere, but for the incredible team that makes it feel like home. The staff is warm, welcoming, and genuinely committed to creating an unforgettable experience for every guest. It's a wonderful spot to meet amazing people, practice yoga, take part in other lessons, or simply lay back and relax. The yoga sessions and other classes are led by exceptional teachers who bring both passion and expertise, adding immense value to the entire stay. Surrounded by stunning nature and a positive energy that lifts your spirit, this place offers a rare blend of tranquility and inspiration.A special thanks to Sue, Abel, William, Sam, Tuna, Mey, Abale, and the entire crew for making everything perfect, and to the amazing teachers Randel and Nina for sharing their wisdom and guidance.

My week at The Sanctuary was truly life changing. Surrounded by the serene beauty of the jungle and sea, I found peace in daily yoga sessions, enjoyed delicious and healthy meals, and connected with the most wonderful people. The attentive staff made my experience even more special, always ready to help and making sure I felt cared for at every moment. It's more than just a retreat.. it's a sanctuary where I rediscovered myself surrounded by nature's embrace and in the process, this place became my home away from home 🙏🏾❤️ Thank you all! And see you later.
Response from the owner: We're thrilled you had such a delightful time at the Sanctuary! It fills us with joy to know you created happy memories here. We eagerly await the chance to welcome you back for another unforgettable stay.Nolan

I came to the sanctuary for a yoga retreat facilitated by my beautiful friend from Australia.I feel so grateful to have been apart of it at the most magical location on the island.Honestly, there is nothing bad to say. The food, the staff, the location, the accommodation, the service. It was all 10/10.
Response from the owner: Dear Hannah,Thank you for your kind review! it was great to have you here :) come back soon !! Nolan

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?
