Ashram Om

The program was intense but very well done, we learned a lot of things from the best teachers. Meeting all the groups and getting to know each other was amazing!

This is a heartfelt recommendation for Ashram Om and the entire staff. I’ve participated in countless trainings over the past few decades, and Ashram Om rises to the top. Their curriculum feels refined and purposeful… true precision training.

Founder Maria and Co-Leader Ariel held a space rooted in listening, witnessing, belonging, courage, and strength. They embody the heart of Ashram Om: world-class instruction with full nourishment for mind, body, and soul.

Every instructor gave their best. Each meal was prepared with fresh, high-vibration ingredients that nourished every layer of our being. The entire team stands firmly in love, kindness, and unwavering commitment to their students.

My confidence to teach any group now feels deeply embedded in my body, mind, heart, and soul.

Ashram Om delivers impeccable training. I am profoundly grateful to Maria, Ariel, Tony, and all the staff and neighbors who made this experience truly unforgettable.

Wounderful teachers with awesome knowledge of yoga and related topics!

Maria is an amazing, lovely person. She made us feel at home from the start and made sure we were comfortable the entire stay. She’s the best yoga instructor I’ve had so far. The food was to die for. It was sooooo good.

CLASSES:

Maria organizes trainings with great experience and dedication. The schedule was tight with very few, short breaks to make the 200h-YTT possible in 2 weeks. She has immense knowledge about the yogic lifestyle and aryuveda and shares it with passion.

Our instructor during yoga classes and workshops was mostly Ariel who has not only a thorough understanding of asanas and anatomy but also wonderfully kind yet precise way to teach.

I really appreciated our philosophy classes, too - which I didn't expect in the beginning at all. They were lifely and interesting and gave the whole experiance more depth.

The best was the warm, constructive way all of them gave feedback to make each and everyone comfortable and to let us grow.

ACCOMODATION and LOCATION:

The accomodation was a decent and very clean church-related hostel-like strukture with mostly 2-bed-rooms, but don't expect any fancy retreat-resort. It is in a picturesque neighbourhood of S'Illot direktly next to the sea (instead of the touristic hotel area near the center). And the nature in front of the backdoor is so beautyful!

FOOD:

Everything was prepared by Maria and her team with incredible love. It was all vegetarian and so tasty!

PRICE:

Maria told me, that they changed the focus of their trainings to make it affordable for a wider variety of people. So as I said above, don't expect a 5*-retreat, but it's great value for money.

Ich fühle mich dankbar, wunderbar und sehr bereichert diesen Retreat mit dem Wunderbaren Lehrerteam absolviert zu haben. Ich habe so viel auch neben dem Yogateachertraining gelernt. Maria ist eine so liebevolle Gastgeberin und so weise Lehrerin. Das tägliche Essen war wunderbar, voller Liebe zubereitet. Wenn man Yoga liebt, Yogalehrer werden will und sich weiterentwickeln will, dann ist dies der Retreat denn man besuchen sollte.

I liked the location of the accommodation - but I am aware Ashram Om use different spots for their retreats. I was able to get there via public transport from the airport and once I was there explore on foot to nearby small beaches and paths.

The programme was well thought out and was a real mix of styles, yoga philosophy, and approaches. The food was good overall - a nice mixture of tasty meals and fresh foods. The accommodation was basic but suited me fine.

It is a truly amazing experience. Such a warm hearted and loving place. Everyone can feel that this course and the ashram itself are made with love and knowledge is taught with even more love and passion.

I highly appreciated the wholeness of this training by covering all the aspects of the yoga philosophy as well as familiar topics like trauma-release, astrology, etc. The knowledge one can take away from there is enormous and is shared with generosity. Even when you have more questions after classes there is always a teacher available to go deeper on a topic.

The place is very nice and inspiring as it is an organic farm with sauna and pool.

I had an amazing time in every aspect and cannot recommend it enough. Everyone should have the chance to experience this in his lifetime.

I hope to be back for another retreat soon. I heard they do Ayurveda retreats as well. Which makes sense as the Ayurveda knowledge you get there is worth a lot.

And guys, I did not even start to write about the food. Maria's mom is cooking and there are no words for how tasty (and also healthy) it is. In general the family vibe there is something that I appreciated a lot.

We also did a trip to the beach and a little hike in the mountains. Both were very beautiful as well.

I came back feeling blissed and honored for these 2 weeks.

Thank you very much to the whole team at Ashram Om! Namaste. It was amazing.

Honestly I am so grateful for spending two weeks in casa Radha, the teachers and the course was incredible, the house and the hospitality was also incredible. I would 100% recommend this TT, I will never forget this experience.

The profound knowledge of philosophie, is just amazing, as well as the calmness they could bring into the class.

The instructors were so knowledgeable and generous with their wisdom. I learned so much and the other people on the course were amazing!

Everything: the heartfelt connection with the teachers and class, the beautiful chanting, the incredible home cooking and especially teaching my first yoga lessons. The whole experience exceeded my expectations!

This was a truly amazing experience. From the food, acquired knowledge, new friends to the amazing teachers who helped us find ourselves. I miss them so much already and would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

So many wonderful things!

-Maria and Andi (aka Akrura) really know their stuff. They are grounded in deep knowledge of yogic philosophy and Ayurveda, and transmit as much of that as they can to their students.

-The food was plentiful and healthy - all organic, vegan/vegetarian, and mostly seasonal.

-We got started teaching right away, which immediately got us over our intimidation. The training was structured to gradually build us up to teaching a 90-minute class in a way that was challenging but really accessible.

-The curation of the group was very well done - everyone got along well, close friendships were made, and the environment was designed to be supportive and loving.

-I walked away having learned an enormous amount! It's a sprint, but they know how to download a ton of information into their students in a short time.

Brilliant training - Loved all of it. Thank you so much.

Loved Mamma cookie was brilliant cook - would love more of it - as it’s soo tasty. Thank you so much. 🙏

Ik vond de yogalessen super leuk en super fijn. Het fijne gevoel wat yoga in me losmaakt is magisch. Het geeft me happiness and peace.

Ik vond het super leuk om met andere studenten deze opleiding samen te volgen.

Het familie gevoel die er was is heel fijn en vertrouwd.

Vanuit de teachers was er een fijne we gaan ervoor gevoel. Je kunt het gevoel.

Ze deden er alles aan om het beste uit onszelf te halen.

Ieder van ons ontdekte daardoor zijn of haar unieke yogales geef stijl.

The course teaches you all you need to know on how to structure a great yoga class. You will learn a lot about the most important yoga poses, yoga philosophies and anatomy. A very enriching experience lead by very knowledgeable and dedicated yoga teachers. The food was outstanding.

This was by far the most unforgettable experience I’ve ever had. We all learned so much about yoga, teaching, and ourselves. The transformation we all went through was truly amazing. Everyone came out of this better, stronger and with the tools to let our lights shine in this world. The ashram became a home to all of us thanks to Mansovar, Maria and Ariel. And of course mama vicky’s homemade vegetarian meals that were made with so much love. We laughed, we cried, we grew together. I would do this training 10 times again with the same group.

This teacher training was beyond my expectations. The program was well prepared, very practical lessons on sequencing, asanas and adjustments by Maria and Ariel. More theoretical stuff such as philosophy and anatomy was brought to life by the amazing teachers Marina and Alex. The food and accommodation was great. All the food was vegetarian and scrumptious. The house was luxurious and the shala was light and spacious. Throughout the training Maria and the others were very accesible for any questions or chats. All in all this was a great experience, would recommend it to anyone!

The quality of the instructors was phenomenal. I learned so much from each and every one of them! They made sure to keep the workshops and classes engaging and gave really great constructive criticism during the student teaching sessions. I really couldn’t have asked for a more memorable, unique experience! I have surely made friends for life. The food was also sensational! Victoria and Nora nourished our souls with delicious vegan and vegetarian food that could convert almost any meat-eater. Also, the accommodation was fantastic!! I’m eagerly awaiting news of future retreats!

Maria is a very dedicated teacher and host. The food was wonderful and the ayurvedic focus was a welcome experience.

Da wir zum ersten Mal ein solches Yoga retreat gebucht haben, waren wir gespannt, aber ohne konkrete Erwartungen.

Das kleine Anwesen von Maria und ihrer Familie liegt circa 15-20 Minuten zu Fuß vom Bahnhof in Binissalem entfernt. Links und rechts liegen ein paar weitere kleine Grundstücke, ansonsten ist man umringt von viel Natur, perfekt zum relaxen.

Maria und ihre Familie Leben ebenfalls auf dem Grundstück und stehen jederzeit für Fragen zur Verfügung. Die Gäste haben ihr eigenes Haus, mit einer Gemeinschaftsküche und zwei Bädern für bis zu acht Personen. Wir hatten das Glück mit drei Leuten sehr intensive und entspannte Tage zu verleben. Es stand immer Obst und genug Getränke bereit. Die Mahlzeiten, die von Marias Mutter mit viel Liebe zubereitet wurden waren köstlich.

Und wenn man entspannen wollte boten der Pool und ein paar Liegeplätze den ideale Möglichkeiten. Yoga machten wir immer draußen und eine kleinere Wanderung in ein benachbartes Dorf bot eine gute Abwechslung. Zudem konnte man Massagen oder ayuvedische Sitzungen dazu buchen, die nicht nur lehrreich sondern auch erholsam waren.

Unser Fazit: absolut tolles Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis, sehr zu empfehlen, wir kommen wieder!

Where to begin.. Maria and here team offer so much in 17 days... They put all of there love, knowledge and experience in this intense training to ensure that you cross that finish line and to prepare you (as you wish) for the 'real thing'; becoming a yoga teacher. Great surprises throughout the training training, such as a visit of a Monk from Chile and a full-moon meditation. Fabulous organic and comfy food, useful advice in nutrition and providing ayurveda knowledge made everything complete to me. I am grateful!

A beautiful, transformative experience where we were all allowed to grow and develop our own styles and embrace what made us unique. The food was incredible, the location was perfect; I couldn't have asked more for my YTT.

I had a wonderful time on my first yoga retreat. Maria and her family do an excellent job of making everyone feel at home from the very first moment. She stayed up late for me after a flight delay and was pleasant the whole time. I love the intimacy of this retreat as well. It is very humble and small giving you the opportunity to make wonderful connections with the teachers, family, and other retreaters. The town is just a stone's throw away and is very quaint. There is always something to do and no pressure to participate if you aren't feeling up to it.

Great Food and workshops. Lots of things to do and see. Time in between to relax

The only thing about this trip I truly enjoyed was the food. Although more variety could have been added, as well as portions (some nights food was undercalculated and people were left without food) the quality was good.

The area is extremely beautiful with lovely trees and fruits everywhere. The garden is pretty and the house is located outside the city which makes it all more authentic. Bennisalem is very quiet and worth a little walk.

The yoga teacher was excellent as well as all the volunteer staff.

Le site, la nourriture , l esprit de famille apporté par Victoria et sa tribu : bravo pour ça

Perfect Yoga

Perfect meals

Perfect view

Wonderful people, relaxing, knowledgeable personnel, great food and views

It was my first yoga retreat and I have to say that this one exceeded my expectations. The retreat was in a stunning place with sea and mountains views and the house was really nice too.

The teachers were really good, giving different types of yoga depending on the energy of us, and all the time checking on us to correct posture if needed. I enjoyed every single moment.

I also want to highlight that the food was delicious.

I want to thank all the team for giving me the chance to have a wonderful holidays.

The villa is awesome, big and we a lovely view and stunning swimming pool. The food was delicious, the trips organized very nice, the yoga lessons intense and with a beautiful atmosphere, in different locations. The instructors and Maria amazing
