Samma Karuna

You can really be focused on yoga and different techniques

The location is great and their bungalows are quite comfortable (many people were complaining about the quality of their mattrasses though).

Some yoga classes were really good too.

Kundalini Classes:

The facilitator who had deep presence and one can tell has developed a profound ability to hold space with both discipline and fluidity is the Kundalini teacher Kirtan. Traditional, esoteric and scientific theory she was relaying was relevant and interesting.

Alles in allem perfekt. Absolut der richtige Ort für eine yogalehrer Ausbildung. Von A-Z war alles wundervoll, nur beim Essen musste ich einen Stern anziehen. Es gab ein wunderbar Veganes Buffet, alles war frisch und lecker. Zu verbessern wäre aber, dass etwas mehr Abwechslung dabei ist.

The program called awakening and healing truly owns its name. Even if you were looking ‚only‘ for a yoga holiday, you may get swept and safely carried away by all the unexpected surplus that is offered along the way. You may just open up a little bit and have trust in the transformational process...no need to take things or yourself too serious, because everything is going to be okay. That is what I‘ve learned from those beautiful people in that wonderful place. Deepest gratitude.

I liked the variety of courses on offer and the opportunity to train in new areas like Reki or Gi gong. The health and awakening course was good and meeting with a course instructor once a week was helpful.

It changed my life. The awaking programm is amazing, the combination of breathing classes, OSHO meditation and mindfulness and intimacy class is perfect to deal with your emotional stuff.

12 Tage Detox war neu und es hat mir sehr gut getan, habe ein tolles Körpergefühl! Auch die Kombination mit Yoga und all den anderen Angeboten im meditiven Bereich waren ein super Ausgleich und Ergänzung!! Der Strand gleich im Retreat drin war genial!! Das Küchenteam war super nett und die Detox- Malzeiten schmeckten sehr gut!

Thanks to all the staff and teachers for their knowledge and their love. The detox program helped me to be more open minded; to feel better in my body and mind; the amount of food was sufficient and really good. I started to take care of myself, taking very good massages and reiki sessions. Samma Karuna is a really great and peaceful place, there are a lot of activities if you choose to take them, for the body, the mind and the breath - sharing the space and experience with other people. Thank you again for all.

... to relax and take time for yourself, getting warm hugs, lots of positive energy and amazing food. For me the stay was like an oasis with very different and great people. Many thanks for everything!

Classes, people, location... I had the best week. Already missing it so much. It's a magical place full of good vibes and good people. Amazing. I would recommend it for everyone, and I will definitely come back. I'm so grateful for all the love and attention i've got from the staff, teachers and from the good friends I've made.

I hadn’t inended on doing a retreat whilst travelling but I’m so pleased I did and extra pleased I chose Samma Karuna.

Beautifully located, great dorms, amazing classes and experiences and the most special people. I felt at home here, there is such a calming and peaceful vibe.

I particularly loved ‘breathe of love’ ‘re-birthing’ and ‘OSHO dynamic’.

The whole experience blew my mind and left me feeling like a new person! It was just what I needed and I’m extremely grateful.

I would highly recommend this place.

Siempre había tenido curiosidad en adentrarme en estas prácticas y la escuela ha sido un muy buen sitio para conocer y tener nuevas experiencias todos los días con personas de todo el mundo. Me he sentido motivada y acogida. Recomiendo a las personas que tengan dudas por no haberlo probado nunca que se atrevan a hacerlo. Es una experiencia muy satisfactoria y gratificante. Y el lugar increible, naturaleza y mar sin duda lo recomiendo.

Samma Karuna befindet sich traumhaft schön gelegen direkt am Strand. Das Ambiente und die Stimmung unter den Menschen sind wahnsinnig schön und der perfekte Ort für ein Retreat oder Yoga Teacher Training. Ich kam mit geringen Erwartungen, wollte während des YTTCs tiefer in die Yoga Thematik einsteigen und mir selbst ein besserer Lehrer werden. Ich ging mit dem Gefühl, voller Wissen und bereit zu sein, andere Menschen zu unterrichten. Ich fühle mich gut ausgebildet und habe aus den Unterrichtseinheiten sehr viel mitgenommen. Das Lehrerteam bestand aus ganz unterschiedlichen Charakteren und so war für jedes Bedürfnis die richtige Ansprache dabei. Mir gefiel, dass an vielen Stellen aufgezeigt wurde, wann es sich um eine (teils esoterische) Tradition handelt und wann wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse eine Thematik untermauern.

Besonders gut gefällt mir die nicht-dogmatische Haltung der Schule. Niemand wird in etwas hineingedrängt, was er nicht empfindet. Es gibt viele Möglichkeiten, neue Dinge kennenzulernen, dies aber immer in einem respektvollen und selbstbestimmten Rahmen.

Der Lehrplan war recht straff und damit sehr fordernd. Mir gefiel dies sehr gut, man sollte aber unbedingt Vorkenntnisse und Erfahrungen mitbringen, um das YTTC gut absolvieren zu können.

Super séjour ! Bungalows a 10m de l eau, centre de yoga tres pro (un prof différent tous les jours ), cours de yoga et méditation avec vue sur la mer! ^^ toutes les commodites sont a proximités (restaurants, réservation de scooter, massage...) et bonus : the secret Beach est à 10min a pied!!! Un vrai petit coin de paradis!!!

Samma Karuna school offers a variety of different classes, all of which strive to connect the individual with his inner self. I would recommend to come here for 10-14 days if you can to experience different programs and teachers and take what serves you best.

The place is located in a nice area, the halls for yoga are amazing and everything is kept nice and tidy. The only issue for me was that the water on this part of the island is quite shallow so you might need to consider renting a scooter to get around.

Staff and management are really organized and know their responsibilities.

I loved the friendly and caring community vibe all around SK. The accommodation on site was clean and perfect. The mix of meditation, yoga and healing sessions were perfect. There’s definitely a wide variety of quality sessions for everyone.I learned a lot about myself in a calm peaceful environment. I loved my time so much at SK, I plan to return very soon. SK is a beautiful hub for self love, enlightenment and healing. Thank you to everyone who made my time at SK a magical one which I’ll never forget.

I liked the food that they gave me, it was well prepared. That you could change some parts of the diet if you didn't like some dishes and so on. The staff were really friendly. That I got one coconut per day.

I also liked to stay there and to meet all the interesting and open people. It's just a really good atmosphere!

The awakening classes! I am thinking of maby coming back for the awakening classes👍🏻

I liked being with like minded people and the location was fantastic

Es un hermoso lugar, llegué con una gran depresión después de mi divorcio y en Salma Karuna me enseñaron a ver la vida mucho más positiva y pude descubrir la felicidad. Muchas gracias Salma Karuna.

I loved everything there! The people, the location, the classes, thr island. The rebirthing class, the osho dynamics, the biodevelopment and vinyasa yoga were my highlights during my stay :).

The restaurant opened when I left, i got to try their food nonetheless, super delicious!

Recommend the place to everyone!

Dank der großartigen und ganz speziellen Arbeit von unserem Kursleiter ist unsere Gruppe sehr eng zusammengewachsen. Wir alle haben eine unglaubliche Reise der Selbstfindung durchlebt. Als Schüler von Samma Karuna geht es um mehr als nur ''Asanas'' die dann später unterrichtet werden können. Aber auch in diesem Bereich hatten wir eine wunderbare Lehrerin und haben soviel von ihr mitnehmen können. Dennoch wünscht ich mir damit wir eine Art ''flexbilen Baustein'' hätten wählen können um in einem Bereich in welchem wir stärker ausgebildet werden möchten mehr Zeit und Stunden gehabt hätten. Die 200 Std verfliegen wie im Nichts und wir hatten viele Stunden an Meditation die ich und auch andere Schüler gerne mehr für Körpertraining genutzt hätten. Dennoch würde ich mich immer wieder für Samma Karuna entscheiden. Die Liebe und Herzlichkeit die man an dieser Schule erlebt ist einzigartige. Ein toller Platz um Yoga zu entdecken!

I loved everything about it! The whole place has a very positive, warm and welcoming vibe.. The location is dreamy, a green slice of heaven next to the sea, the classes were nothing like I had experienced before, the staff really friendly and kind, I honestly cannot find a single thing I didn't like. My next mission is to find active mediation classes in the UK. Koh Phangan is also an island worth the visit, don't let the main town by the port disappoint you, the island is full of golden sand beaches and green.

I only booked the 6 days and 5 nights Healing& Awakening course but I felt it already had such an impact on me! I wish I would have done the 4 weeks programm...

The teachers are all fantastic and super professional. I am doing Yoga since a few years but I have to say that they were probably the best ones I have ever had.

The whole course is super intense and you learn so much within this short time wich you will keep for a lifetime. Every cent you pay for it is definitely worth it!!!

Thank you so much Samma Karuna for this experience <3

Ruhe am Strand:-)

Un lugar excepcional, la comunidad es increíble, las clases fabulosas, el staff realmente maravilloso. Sin duda una de las mejores experiencias que he tenido. Muchas gracias!

Il est à l'écoute

Die Lage ist ganz toll und ich konnte viele unterschiedliche Richtungen von Yoga und Mediation kennenlernen. Hohe Qualität der Mitarbeiter.

Meditations were just so helpful. Very qualified teachers))) Thank you!
