The original Yoga Retreat in Koh Phangan
For 35 years, we’ve been one of Thailand’s most respected yoga destinations, offering classes and retreats that go far beyond the ordinary. Set in our jungle haven, you’ll practice in one of four beautiful yoga halls created for clarity, depth and real transformation.
Our Thai teachers are exceptional, and our Yoga Director Nariyah sets the standard. With over 1,100 hours of training across Yoga, Qi Gong and Pilates plus deep roots in traditional Asian lineages, she blends ancient wisdom with modern technique to create intelligent, stress relieving, body balancing sessions tailored to every student.
Whether you’re new or advanced, this is a place where progression feels natural and support is everywhere. Step into a space built for growth, connection and feeling genuinely renewed.
Truly Sanctuary YOGA HALLS
Our yoga halls are designed to thrill. Each space offers a different atmosphere, but all are purpose built to deepen your practice.
• Mosquito proofed for uninterrupted focus
• Breathtaking views of jungle, ocean and natural light
• One hall is built around pyramid energy, magnetically aligned to enhance clarity, grounding and flow
• Powerful crystal energy is embedded deep within the surrounding rock
• Thoughtfully crafted details that honour ancient lineages while supporting modern practitioners
Every hall is a sanctuary – quiet, inspiring and energetically alive.
To support your practice fully, we provide a full range of high quality yoga props, ensuring comfort, alignment and confidence at every level.

Yoga Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of Yoga?
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?
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 an injury and preexisting condition, can I still do Yoga?
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 help with my Yoga practice?
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 more challenge and growth in my Yoga at The Sanctuary?
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.
