One visitor shared their experience of participating in seven special one-on-one classes following a disc operation. The intensive classes helped them regain mobility and reduce back tension, allowing them to walk three kilometers without discomfort and even start jogging. The teachers, Rich and Sofia, were praised for their passion, open-mindedness, patience, and deep knowledge. The visitor appreciated their hospitality and flexibility, and found the introduction to Ashtanga challenging yet enjoyable. They returned home with a wealth of knowledge about body mechanics, nutrition, lifestyle changes, and relaxation techniques.

Another visitor sought an authentic Ashtanga Yoga experience and found it at the Shala. The balanced structure of theoretical and practical workshops enriched their limited knowledge of Ashtanga. The intensive program, guided by the encouraging attitude of Rich and Sofya, helped them build internal energy through regular physical and mental practices. After seven days, they felt healthier and experienced a newfound clarity of mind. They also enjoyed the complimentary add-ons like colon cleanse, Thai oil massage, and ice water treatment. However, they noted that the swimming pool facility needed some maintenance.

A solo traveler chose the Shala for a 14-day Yoga detox retreat. They appreciated the balance between solitude and a friendly atmosphere. The professionalism of the teachers, who gave all the classes, was a major draw. The retreat exceeded their expectations, helping them learn more about Yoga and themselves. The teachers focused on personal development, pushing them to their limits in a firm yet encouraging way. The food was another highlight, with a whole food plant-based buffet available. The traveler also appreciated the clean, spacious, and practical accommodation, located just seven minutes away from the Shala.

A return visitor shared their experience of an intense four-week course at the Shala. They appreciated the comprehensive course, which included yoga practice, breathing techniques, theory, philosophy, history, anatomy, therapy, and cleansing techniques. The course was challenging but rewarding, teaching them self-discipline and how to maximize their practice. They also opted for the detox option, which helped solve their digestion problems.

Another visitor rearranged their trip to attend more classes with Sophia, one of the teachers at the Shala. They appreciated her teaching style and felt comfortable and trusted her during adjustments. They saw significant improvement in their practice during their short stay and expressed a desire to return.

A beginner found Ashtanga with Rich to be a great experience. Despite the workout being challenging due to their limited flexibility, they felt a sense of openness and accomplishment after each class. They appreciated Rich's attentiveness and helpful corrections and adjustments.

A holidaymaker in Phuket was impressed with the Shala's central location and authentic decor. They appreciated the teacher's energy and detailed corrections and adjustments. They were able to perform asanas they never thought they could, and expressed a desire to return for more classes. They were also pleasantly surprised that the first trial class was free.
