Sambodhi Yoga Retreat

Was am besten war kann ich nicht sagen. Da es viele unvergesslich schöne Momente gab.

Die Yogaclass am Morgen mot Jessy, welche mir sehr gut getan hat und ich Neues lernen konnte. Das Essen von Moly. Die Gesellschaft mit dem ganzen Team. Auch Thomas ist ein super Manager. Alle sind sehr liebevoll und hilfsbereit.

Highlihgt: Der Strand. Die Ruhe. Mein Häuschen am Meer. Die Lage ist fantastisch.

Auch die Yogaclass mit Jim hat mir gefallen. Bin sehr zufrieden mit meinem Retreat. Ich werde wiederkommen, das ist sicher.

Le personnel sur place était adorable, très accueillant et très serviable.

Les repas étaient préparés avec soin et le site a un accès direct à la plage. Idéal pour se relaxer loin du bruit de la ville et de la circulation.

The whole retreat from start to finish was a treat. Yoga and meditation reflecting our level,great food, warm friendly staff located on the beach. John, Jessy were very accommodating and warm, a highly pleasurable week.

Die Menschen waren sehr, sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und der Empfang war sehr herzlich. Das selbstgemachte Essen war ausgezeichnet und auch die Yoga Einzelpraxis mit Jim hat mir gut gefallen, auch die morgendliche Zen Meditation fand ich schön. Ruhige Lage außerhalb, mit Strand vor der Tür (ist ein Vor- und Nachteil)

Hele vriendelijke mensen en heerlijk eten. Goed programma met de combinatie van zen meditatie en yoga.

Wonderfull location and caring people.Had a great time in nature with awesome food.Special thanks to Thomas uncle, Moly aunty ,Jessy mam & John sir for making this retreat a wonderful experience

This place is so beautiful, right on the beach and so quiet. Tomas, Murali & Molly are so friendly and helpful. The food Molly makes is different every day and incredible! She is amazing. The yoga by Jesse & her son Jim I really enjoyed. They are good people with good hearts! The retreat is away from the busyness of the surrounding areas but so close to the backwaters. I highly reccommend it. The rooms have air conditioning and are clean and spacious.

Thank you Tomas, Molly, Murali & Jesse for looking after me and giving me a wonderful first few days in India! :)

Die Unterkunft is an einem sehr schönen ruhigen Strand gelegen. Die Menschen dort sind sehr nett, und wir wurden warmherzig aufgenommen. Das Essen und der Service sind klasse. Yoga und Meditation sind gut für Yoga Anfänger und leicht Fortgeschrittene geeignet. Die anderen Aktivitäten (Tempel, backwater tour) haben uns auch super gefallen.

The retreat is on a completely undeveloped beach. Nothing but you and the sea :-) you can hear the waves from your bed. Yoga was very good with Jessy and her son Jim twice a

Day and some Zen meditation with John. At times I had 1:1 in the class most was 3:1. Learnt some new moves. Food was INCREDIBLE. Molly is a great cook and introduced m to lots of delicious Keralan food. Delicious and healthy. Thomas the manager was super helpful and I had Romeo Tuk Tuk driver available to take me anywhere in the locality. The backwater trip was very peaceful and a great way to see the local area - lunch included was very traditional and delicious - would recommend. The yoga was great and staff SO lovely and kind!

The whole experience was fenomenal, the kindness and friendliness of everyone involved was a testament of how well they understand the needs of their guests. I couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to be. Immensely grateful for their hospitality and care.

A huge thanks to the whole team for this unforgettable trip. This week has been peaceful and restful. The center is located on a beautiful beach. You don’t have to think, everything is planned according to your taste. Thomas, Molli, John and Romeo will take care of you, everyone is very helpful. The yoga retreat is mixed up with some Ayurvedic treatments amongst with meditation and some sightseeing!

The perfect place to disconnect and having a good time focusing on yourself. 🙏

Very friendly and supportive yoga teachers, very welcoming at the accommodation and excellent food also. Can’t believe the value for money! The trip to the backwaters was also great

First and foremost, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Jessi, Molly, John, Thomas, Romeo, and Jim. From the moment we arrived, they greeted us warmly and showered us with exceptional hospitality and kindness. Jessi led the morning yoga sessions, while Jim, her son, guided us through evening yoga sessions. Molly treated us to two delicious, home-cooked meals every day, and her lovely personality truly lit up the retreat. Thomas effortlessly organized all our activities, from transportation to boat tours, ensuring our every need was met promptly.

The accommodation itself consisted of charming beach cottages with direct access to the shoreline, where we spent our days basking in the sun. The other facilities were equally delightful and conveniently located near the beach. The entire retreat exuded tranquility and serenity, with numerous relaxation spots like hammocks scattered throughout the garden. We felt incredibly comfortable and rejuvenated, and would eagerly return in the future. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for making our experience unforgettable!

I LOVED EVERYTHING ---John, went out of his way to help me out. He printed my visa in color, explained the Indian culture, arranged for my bus, and taught me meditation. Romeo, the tuk tuk driver, brought me to all the right places and even ensured that I went on the right bus. Jess and Jim taught me yoga that really helped me out. Molly and her daughter, the cooks, made my favorite South Indian dishes that cannot be found anywhere else, and had amazing smiles. During our last night, they prepared a big platter of yummy food that filled my stomach ,heart and soul.

The accomodation was so homely and lovely near the beach.

At the beginning of November I spent a few days at the Sambodhi Yoga Retreat and what can I say, I felt very comfortable. Every morning started with a meditation and a yoga session (led by John and Jessy), followed by a lovingly prepared breakfast and another yoga session with Jim John in the afternoon. His light and loving manner was unique. These days there by the sea were really good after a rather exhausting round trip. The Indian dinner was also delicious. We were invited to a music festival and were given good tips on how to get to know the country and its people. We had a very nice driver the whole time who took us everywhere, spontaneously and flexibly. I definitely enjoyed my stay. Thank you all!

Located right on the beach, peaceful well kept gardens (with hammocks, couple need repair). A/C in cottages. Bathroom slightly open air (prepare to make friends with the insects). No hot water.

Anything you asked for was dealt with quickly and efficiently (extra sheets for beds), different food times, etc.

Great vegetarian food options. Fresh fruit. Good variety.

Transport provided to any location on request.

Great boat trip.

It was the perfect place for connecting with the local people and nature, to wind down and to get inspired!

The hosts were absolutely lovely and warmly welcoming, providing for everything needed and way beyond.

I had group Yoga classes and Zen Meditation in the morning teached by Jessy and John in a wonderful place surrounded by palm and cinnamon trees, followed by a personalized day program and evening yoga.

Jessy is a great Yoga teacher, providing helpful guidance and information. John helped me to learn about Zen, Buddhism and the traditional percussion instrument called Tabala (some personal wish I had, including finding a Tabala teacher :))

The food was awesome and the accomodation / beach resort is located at a very beautiful place directly at the beach. The backwaters are only a 10 minute drive away and definitely worth a boat tour.

Very much recommended and I will come again soon!!

What a beautiful stay I had! Cute little hut at the beach with ac and fan and good wifi. Wonderful meals in the cute glass hut with the beach in front. Great yoga group and private classes in the shala next to my room and also in the teachers home with great introduction to Zen. Special thanks to the teachers Jessy and John, the manager Thomas and the beautiful couple wo cooked and maintained the surroundings - great people and I really enjoyed my stay! Thank you all.

This is great place for yoga begginers.

Food served is very good and people are so kind and nice. They are making you feel like home

Sambodhi Yoga Retreat's staff is one of the most welcoming and attentive group of beautiful people that you'll ever find in any of your travels. The resort is right in front of the beach, with thriving nature and the sound of the waves as lullaby at night. The food is abundant and delicious, prepared with true love. Practicing yoga with Jessy was intense and fun at the same time, and both her and her husband John are very generous, helpful and really beautiful souls, just like everyone else at the resort. The opportunity for Ayurvedic consult and treatments, plus the Backwaters cruise are excellent additions to a perfect stay.

Le lieu est paisible.

Les repas sont variés et succulents.

La méditation et le yoga amènent l'harmonie au corps et l'esprit.

Thomas et Roméo se coupent en 10.000 pour rendre notre séjour confortable. Merci 🙏

Je me suis pausée 4 jours. Je regrette de ne pas avoir réservé 6 ou 7 jours.

I liked The whole pagage. Yoga, place, food, program and most of all The hospitality. Near by The sea sea I went swimming, A peaceful experience indeed. And also good exercise. Just feeling great.

The atmosphere was very relaxing. I had a very comfortable stay. John, Krishna and Thomas were very friendly and made sure I was at ease.
