"Ein Traum"
Ein traumhaft ruhiger und spiritueller Ort. Besonders das Personal(Rezeption, Küche und Cafe) verbreiten eine sehr zuvorkommende und lustige Athmosphär
Und die Thai Massagen sind unschlagbar...
Die YogalehrerInnen waren in ihrer Einzigartigkeit alle großartig.
Ich bin sehr gut zur Ruhe gekommen.
Das Meer ist vom Café 1 Minute entfernt, der Strand fast immer leer.
Ein Paradies.
Vielen Dank für diese unfassbar schöne Zeit.

"Fabulous"
The best place ever to chill out. No pressure to attend sessions but staff kept you up to date with everything going on. Staff could not do enough to assist (particularly the ladies in reception- utterly delightful.) Food was fabulous and accommodation was central to cafe, pool and beach yet still quiet and private. Tai chi at sunrise was glorious, as were the different types of yoga sessions (every instructor was different but patient, informative and kind. ) The icing on the cake was I met a fabulous group of people and we spent time during the days going on boat trips, cycling, walking etc. Met a number of people who were frequent visitors and without a doubt I myself will be back. Thank you for a truly wonderful and relaxing experience.

"A Fantastic Weekend Getaway"
This retreat exceeded all my expectations. I have never done anything like this before but found it an incredibly rewarding experience. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The classes were a mix of relaxing recovery style all the way up to challenging Ashtanga. The breakfast buffet was extremely well done and needed after 3 hours of tai chi and yoga!
Rooms were basic but functional, the location on the beach is perfect. In general the vibe on Koh Yao Noi is exceptional and I will definitely be returning for another trip/retreat.

"Wonderful Experience"
I really enjoyed the itinerary for the retreat. It was the perfect amount of yoga and tai chi, and the times were great. I felt like it was good quality yoga and I enjoyed the different instructors and types of yoga. Food was excellent. I liked having the options of evening activities and day trips. Easy to get around the island. It was easy to meet people. The ladies in reception were so incredibly helpful, even after I had checked out. Massage was wonderful!

It was amazing experience! The place, the people, the vibes. You don’t need to be pro in yoga to go there. The teachers are really amazing and make you feel good wherever you are at your yoga path. During free time you can take some organized tours and there is in general lots of community spirit.

Das Retreat ist ruhig gelegen und lädt sofort dazu ein, die Seele baumeln zu lassen. Das Team vor Ort ist großartig und macht den Aufenthalt für alle Gäste zu einem sehr erholsamen Erlebnis. Die Kurse waren super, sowohl für Anfänger wie auch Fortgeschrittene.
Nebenbei werden Aktivitäten angeboten und wenn man möchte kann man sie machen oder die freie Zeit für sich nutzen.
Ein Ort, an den man gerne zurück kehrt. Danke für die Reise.

"Peaceful "
I loved the peaceful and friendly atmosphere and also the yoga classes. I really loved Bao 's and Marina's yoga classes very much. Bao has really tought me so much in our 3 one on one practice. Everything is very well organised. The boat hopping and kayak trip were amazing. And I'm so happy Koh Yao Noi is still a bit quiet. Hopefully it will stay like this in the future so the Island will not be destroyed by so many people/tourists.

"Nice experience for a yoga rookie"
I liked the relaxed environment and the activities (meditation and yoga). Staff was very friendly and I think the instructors are very skilled (I am a rookie, so have no comparison). The massage was very good and relaxing - I felt almost asleep.
The food (included breakfast) is rich and healthy (home made peanut butter was highly coveted. Also the extra restaurant food was very nice, the chef at that time was french/brazilian and perfectly brought together different tastes.
Room was clean and spacious. The pool area is nice and relaxing too.

Super stage. J'ai adoré. Je reviendrai. Une suggestion: il y avait un peu trop de personnes dans les cours. Il serait souhaitable de fractionner (peut être par niveaux?) et faire des cours avec un maximum de 20 personnes. A cause de cela, j'ai eu de la difficulté à suivre (je n'étais pas le seul). Les professeurs ne parlaient pas assez fort. Diffcile de les entendre.

"Fantastic Retreat for finding back to your body and soul"
The place itself is a beautiful area with an amazingly intense and calm environment. Everyone is relaxed, kind, helping and positive. The Sunrise Tai Chi is very energetic and you sure shouldn’t miss it. After that you can join the amazing Mantra Meditation, very good for meditation beginners and also very good for any other meditation level. The Yoga classes give you the opportunity to adjust everything to your level, no matter if you’re strong or weak, new to Yoga or already a Yogi for years. While it is very sportive in the morning, it’s also designed to connect to your body in an energetic and spiritual way while practicing. All the Yoga teachers are really really great and do a little different styles, so there will always be something favorite for everyone. The breakfast is very healthy and tasty, but you can also get some sweets. The conversations with the other guests or Yoga teachers are always really interesting, but if you need your space to be alone for a while, there is room and respect for that too. In the afternoon is an amazing Yin Yoga, which is really restorative and helps you stretch, release, calm down and win new energy for the next day. You are always free to skip a class if you don’t feel like it on that day or you take longer for another activity around (there is sooo much to do on the Island)… I haven’t met a single person there who doesn’t wann go back again, so that really tells you a lot about this magical soul, mind and body healing place!!!

"A wonderful experience all round"
Everything was excellent. There were 4 instructors I couldn't find on the list. Mariana, Lucy & Brett and another female whose name I don't remember - all of whom were excellent. Marcelo's humour and enthusiasm was infectious. The yoga was varied and the morning meditation is something I have taken away for using in my daily practice at home. The additional evening meditations were great and Mariana's moving meditation gave us something for when sitting is not possible, I was glad she agreed to put the session on for us. Metta & Candle meditations gave still more diversity and the sound bath was epic. I'm sad I didn't get to do Marcelo's sound journey because I heard it was awesome. The breakfast was outstanding as was the quality of food served at lunch in the café. The setting of the retreat is so peaceful it really felt like being away from it all. I was suffering insomnia so didn't get to the tai chi/qi gong so I'll have to come back.

"Klein schalig, fijn yoga retreat, met een community! "
Een fijne community om in terecht te komen.
De mensen zijn erg aardig en het personeel is verwelkomend. De keuken van het restaurant maakt veel dingen homemade, waardoor het ontbijt echt verrukkelijk is. Ik sliep in de slaapzaal met 8 mensen. Het was goed te doen omdat iedereen hetzelfde schema aanhoudt. Vroeg opstaan en vroeg naar bed.
Er zit een massage in het pakket, pff maar deze masseuses zijn goed!! Heerlijk na intensieve yogalessen. Ik zou dit retreat zeker aanbevelen! Leuke fijne plek waar je meer tot je zelf komt. Ik ben 4 nachten geweest, dit was voor mij een mooie balans aan tijd.

"Very special place - you'll want to extend"
What an amazing place Island Yoga is. The instructors, the staff, the fellow guests; it's just a great vibe. The day starts with Tai Chi (which I had never thought to do before visiting here - now I'm a convert), then meditation, then vinyasa yoga, then an awesome brunch. Woah, what a morning! The rest of the day is free time, and at 4pm everyone gathers for yin yoga. You quickly make friends and go out for dinner to one of the great local restaurants nearby. The accommodation is spartan but absolutely fine. The pool is great to take the edge off a hot day. The island is primarily Muslim, so it doesn't have a cranking party scene which most people welcome after visiting some of the other islands. I had a week there and would suggest that as a minimum. Such a brilliant place. I'll be back.

My partner and I came to Island Yoga for a 4 day retreat and ended up staying 3 weeks. This experience is personally for me the greatest gift to myself. A true discovery of tool for personal improvement and serenity. I am a gym guy, but with island Yoga, Meditation and Yoga will now forever (hopefully be in my regular practice. The Teachers, and the whole staff quite frankly are nothing short of inspiring. Their kindness, professionalism and passion for what they do is inspiring. I will definitely come back, hopefully soon enough, and I will take my brother with me. So that he may discover what I have lived.

I loved the place : the island in itself is very nice, the accommodation as well (the dorm was really comfortable and there are nice places to chill) and the yoga facilities. Loved that we go for Tai Chi on the beach at sunrise. Also, amazing staff, always smiling and willing to make your stay more enjoyable. Finally I met really nice people and felt really good and peaceful over there. Would definitely recommend it !

Everything was so good. It took me a few sessions to get into the morning tai chi, but just the fact that we start the day watching the sunrise is magical. Everyone is very kind and helpful, breakfast is such a feast!! No need to eat lunch at all. A lovely experience. My favourite was yin yoga in the afternoons. It was truly restorative. I leave a very happy person and recommended it to everyone.

"Wow! Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!"
Yoga Island hat uns geerdet und zurück zu uns selbst, Ruhe, Gelassenheit und Zufriedenheit gebracht. Nach nur kurzer Zeit waren wir schon flexibler und ausgeglichener. Das nächste Mal werden wir auf jeden Fall länger bleiben. Es war eine familiäre Umgebung, mit außerordentlicher Freundlichkeit & einem Gefühl willkommen zu sein. Vielen Dank für diese Erfahrung. Das Essen war köstlich und außerdem wurde 24/7 Trinkwasser, Kaffee und Tee kostenlos zur Verfügung gestellt - nicht zu vergessen sind die leckeren Mini-Bananen aus dem eigenen Garten! Die Yoga-Einheiten waren sehr abwechslungsreich, teilweise herausfordernd, aber unglaublich gut. Nash hat super tolle Yoga Sessions gegeben. Thai Chi + Mediation mit David waren ebenfalls toll! Liu ist die gute Seele von Yoga Island, ist immer erreichbar und macht - wenn nötig - wirklich alles möglich.
Diese Erfahrung sollte jeder mal erleben!

"Serenity at its absolute finest"
If for nothing else - go to simply experience Dimitri’s Sound Bath session.
It was an experience I will late forget and an amazing way to ever first encounter the experiences with gongs and sound bowls.
It is differently of the higher end of a budget yoga place and the three Shalas are all so so beautiful and will hold space for anyone who wish to ground themselves and take a few days to give some self love, nurture and care.
You MUST also participate in a morning Thai chi session at the beach while witnessing the most impressive sunrise.
My warmest recommendations to go visit Island Yoga.

I was a bit worried before I arrived that I might be too much of a yoga beginner but I couldn't have been more wrong. As mentioned, the instructors were all fabulous. There was another instructor, Betty, who isn't listed above but who was also brilliant and her classes were so much fun. The knowledge of the teachers was extremely impressive and informative. I felt in very safe hands and enjoyed the whole experience. The accommodation is also lovely, it's a quiet island with not much going on so perfect if you want to get away from it all, as I did. I will definately be returning.

"Excellent place to relax and rejuvenate"
After Island Yoga, I spent one night at Kamala Beach in Phuket and it was so crowded. Koh Yao Noi is a great island to be on to relax. It is small, quiet, and you can easily walk or get around via taxi, bicycle, or scooter.
Island Yoga itself was amazing. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Yoga was very nice with different instructors with different styles. The chakra and sound bath workshops were different/interesting, but are an extra charge. Christmas eve dinner was very nice. You can try different types of foods and mingle with the other guests. Also an extra charge, but worth it. Buddha Beach was a nice, quiet beach area to swim in. I went twice. First time, there were 3 other people. Second time, there were at least 10 people, but I was alone by the time I left around 3pm. Friendly cats, especially the tabby near Bhakti, and the big yellow one near heart sala. Great conversations with Betty after morning tai chi. The tai chi classes were a great bonus to start off the day right.

"Amazing first-time yoga retreat!"
This holidays, I challenged myself to do something I never expected myself to: go to a yoga retreat. This retreat was a perfect soft landing into the yoga world. Our instructor was amazing, and the daily 4 hours of yoga just flew by. The lessons were challenging but I always felt like I can do this. The environment is delightful. Every lesson was different and I feel like we covered an enormous amount of different things.
The location is really nice, the pool area is cool. The food in the restaurants is good and it’s easy to move around the island by scooter.
The sunrise tai chi sessions were delightful. I feel like the vibe at the retreat is very understanding and human-friendly, wuthout a super spiritual-yogi-blabla -attitude. The atmosphere with other attendees is very relaxed and everyone focuses on their own yoga.
The owners of the restaurant were super friendly and the family dinner, for instance was great!

Betty and DimitrI were excellent, positive and intuitive teachers giving you individual attention and guidance even in large class sizes. They were both open to answering queries after class and included wonderful meditative sections. The classes changed every day and variety of styles of yoga was covered across a week. The tai chi on the beach was magical at sunrise.

"Amazing amazing amazing"
I had such a wonderful time here. I came on my own for the 4 day retreat and loved every minute of it. Anotnella the yoga teacher was fantastic. The focus was on restorative yoga which I had never really done before but felt the difference in my lower back after the 4 days. The sunrise Tai Chi was also super peaceful and well worth waking up for every morning. the brunch was really tasty. I also met a great group of people there and rented bicycles to take around the island. The island itself is still not super touristy which is really nice. There's no party scene which I found refreshing compared to the other islands I visited. Would highly recommend.

"Restorative self care "
This was my first yoga retreat and I absolutely loved it! Antonella classes are always so calming and relaxing. I really enjoyed the morning Tai Chi and Qi Gong classes too. It’s an amazing feeling waking up in the morning to watch the sunrise while doing tai Chi, gaining energy from the natural environment. The classes really helped to you to reconnect with your body and yourself, which was very therapeutic. Also, the staff are really friendly and helpful too! And the breakfast and family dinner, is so delicious!

"A great yoga experience for two yoga beginners"
My husband and I visited Island yoga as the first part of our journey to Thailand. We felt very welcome and ended up staying two more days than planned. The yoga classes were great, and in between classes, we explored the island. Overall we had the best stay and felt very relaxed after 6 days, both in the body and in the mind.

I really loved this yoga retreat. It was very quiet at both island yoga and the island when I was there. Guests were all very friendly and the yoga instruction excellent. I will be back :)

"Yoga and relaxation at koh yai noi"
I had a lovely private en suite bungalow with air con & wifi. It felt like a luxury while travelling. The pool in the resort was a great factor to chill out by and socialise with other visitors.
I loved the yoga classes. The yoga shala was spacious and wooden with huge windows. The classes were well taught and I felt so relaxed after them. The sunrise tai chi on the beach was another nice surprise. We got up super early at 5:45am but got to drink tea or coffee and eat fruit and bread on the beach as the sun was rising. Then stared tai chi with Antonella at 6:15am. The whole setting was stunning. We walked though shallow water onto a sandy island for our practice with a backdrop of karsts and longtail boats in the distance. It felt amazing.
I'm always a fan of Thai food. There were meat and veggie options on site. There are also local restaurants in walking distance if you want to go out. The breakfast buffet was so big it was more like brunch! reception staff were really friendly and great with helping me to organise transport from the island to Phuket. I would definately go back.

"Fabulous and worth the money"
This place is a little pricier than some of the yoga resorts on “book yoga” (as others have mentioned) but it’s worth it. The yoga shalas are so peaceful and picturesque, the teachers are insightful and advanced, the bungalow accommodations are awesome and the location and facilities are great as well. I had trouble with WiFi only so I recommend if you travel for work (like I do) buy an AIS sim to use as a hotspot when you arrive in Thailand. You can get em at the airport or any 7-eleven. (6-700baht)
The staff, front desk and kitchen staff are sooooo nice and I will DEFINITELY be back!
Koh yao noi is a great island.
Do go to the rice paddy restaurant for sunset! It’s amazing!
Definitely do their boat trip out to Hong island for 1000 bht and sign up for the extra classes. It all just adds to your stay. Luna pizza just up the way is awesome, they have good salads, desserts, etc. (not just pizza) and a full bar.
The little beach that you access by the dirt road across from it is great at high tide.
DO IT! You won’t regret it!
I would chose a private bungalow as I think it’s more what you want when at this kind of retreat and I just spent 6 months in hostels.
So, I kinda know what I’m talking about there. The bunk beds are cool too but it’s just a fan in the room so it’s a bit hot and pricy for that. The worth comes in the luxury.
Otherwise you can just take the classes as a walk in.
Anyway, thank you to everyone at island yoga! You’re lovely!! ❤️

"Excellent Stay at Island Yoga "
Had a wonderful and relaxing six days at Island Yoga on Koh Yao Noi. The female dorm room was clean and comfortable and as were the main facilities of the resort. Each yoga teacher was professional and brought something new to each class. I was never bored with any class because they were always different. Lovely morning tai chi on the beach at sunrise and the breakfast buffet has everything you need to energize after morning yoga. I highly recommend this retreat for anyone looking to expand their yoga knowledge and make some new friends along the way!

"Relaxing, Rejuvenating Retreat on a Sleepy Island "
I really enjoyed the yoga classes with Veerle. She blends asana, meditation, sounds, and music flawlessly to craft yoga classes that the participants want to attend. Taking into consideration the time of day, the weather, and the energy of her students, she offered excellent classes.
I loved the oasis-feel of the retreat centre and the laid-back atmosphere of the island itself. I loved the fact that it was the low season when I attended (July) and though it did rain a bit during a few of the days, this weather added to my increased introspection. I spent my free time exploring the sleepy island, reading, journaling, and seeking out beaches.
What an amazing way to spend 5 nights! It was just the medicine I needed! I could have easily spent a month there.

"Blissful and transformative"
Instructors Roni and Dmitri were so careful, patient and inspiring to me and my 16-year-old son (we were relative beginners). The Sound Journey that Dmitri and Roni conducted one evening was a rare and exceptionally moving experience which I was grateful to have had. The manager Sin was extremely friendly and accommodating--he organised our outings and made time to get to know us--another very good human being. Koh Yao Noi itself feels secluded and rural--rice paddies, water buffalo and shrimp fisherman. It is the ideal place to decompression and to find yourself.

The island is incredible, it's a really beautiful place and a great place to really unwind, there is a chance to do nothing and reflect on the powerful spiritual and meditation quality to the yoga classes but the team also put on activities if you want to join in.

"Magical "
Island Yoga is truly a gem. Most accommodations on the island are right off the main road, but Island Yoga is tucked away off the beaten path, with its private, serene beach and lovely space. Ning and David were very knowledgeable and helpful in their own, individual and wonderful ways. Ning taught me how to ride a scooter and I had a blast exploring the island on my own. The ladies running the kitchen and laundry were all very sweet and attentive. Magda was a wonderful welcome hostess and meditation guide. All yoga teachers I came across were very knowledgeable, creative, and generous in their teaching. I especially enjoyed Aliya and Antonela's classes for their deeply meditative qualities and generous guidance. Morgan was also fantastic. Her class focused heavily on hip openers, which was incredibly challenging and restorative for my personal practice. I am deeply grateful for David's Tai Chi/Qi Gong teachings and all the conversations we shared on the island. Spending a week at Island Yoga was simply magical for me.
