What people say about us

Erlyn Dawson
The detox and wellness program and activities at the Sanctuary are very professional and great value for money when compared to other wellness retreats. I left feeling fantastic, and wishing I could stay longer. Although not luxury accommodations, they are fairly described on the website and priced accordingly. The location is a bit hard to get to but beautiful. I learnt a lot, and was so well supported and cared for by the lovely staff there. I will definitely be back!
Jutta Ribbrock
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.
Nehoray Ilany
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.

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.
Jocelyn Gillespie
Came for a drop in yoga class and some dinner. The dinner was incredible, we had the fried squid to start which was probably some of the freshest squid I have had, it was delicious! For my main I had the coconut curry noodle soup with tofu which was so flavorful and nutritious.The staff were wonderful and helpful. We even came back after the yoga class for some drinks and hammock hanging. Overall the vibe of this place is on point.
Sara Cornaggia
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.

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!

Yoga FAQ´s

What are the benefits of yoga?2023-08-22T15:35:15+07:00

Healthy yoga practice helps us become more stronger, more flexible and more balanced. Because of this, our organs and body systems function better. When everything in our bodies function better, we feel better and have happier, more vibrant lives. Yoga is one of the oldest scientific methods for health and happiness on the planet.

I’m not Flexible, can I still do yoga?2023-08-22T15:37:11+07:00

Of course you can and you should. Even though it can be challenging to work through stiffness, it’s so very worth it. Our talented teachers will help you to find the right positions to open up your body in balanced and healthy ways. Always remember, the right posture is the right one for you. Beginners simply do simpler poses so that their bodies open up gradually, without stress or risk of injury.

I have and injury or preexisting condition. Can I still do yoga at The Sanctuary?2023-08-22T15:38:07+07:00

In most cases, you certainly can still do yoga at The Sanctuary. We are able to help people move through minor injuries, niggles, and other imbalances. However, if you do have a serious condition that has been diagnosed by a doctor, we are not able to offer deeper level yoga therapy for serious conditions. It’s best if you seek advice from your doctor before you start any intensive yoga.

What else at The Sanctuary will support my yoga practice?2023-08-22T15:41:26+07:00

The Sanctuary has been built around creating healthy living practices. To support yogic lifestyles, we have a number of wonderful things you can do. We have a clean diet menu that offers tasty healthy dishes. We have a fasting and Wellness Centre that can provide you with dietary advice, as well as offer short or long fasts and cleanses. We have a steam room to help you loosen your muscles and purify yourself. There is also massage and numerous other special treatments provided by our team of expert practitioners. The Sanctuary provides a place for you to come and heal, grow and nurture yourself through yoga and so many other offerings.

I’m a more experienced yogi. Can I find challenge and growth in my yoga at The Sanctuary?2023-08-22T15:43:21+07:00

We are very excited to offer advanced work for experienced yogis. Our 8.30 class provides the most challenge with opportunities to explore deeper backbends, arm balances and inversions such as headstand as well as the more advanced concepts of philosophy as well as pranayama breath cultivation, meditation and other classical Hatha Yoga practices.
