Program
What is sadhana, and why should you have one?
Simply put, sadhana is a Sanskrit term used to refer to a regular spiritual practice. Sadhana is about being a better person and living a happy, meaningful, wholesome life through the cultivation of awareness. A consistent sadhana is generally supported by practices such as asana, pranayama, and meditation. When you routinely apply mind, body, and spirit combined with the intention of spiritual growth, the result is a simple, natural way to surrender the ego, release attachment, and cultivate a sense of peace in your everyday life.
In essence, sadhana is the cornerstone of the discipline of yoga. Having a sincere and consistent sadhana will nurture all aspects of your life. When formulating your sadhana, it is important to choose practices that work for you, a frequency and duration that you can easily integrate back into your everyday life. Sadhana means you are using everything as a tool for your well-being. This is what One Yoga’s Sadhana Retreat is all about.
Program highlights
- Immerse yourself in daily practice of yoga, meditation, and self-reflection.
- Embark on a wellness and spiritual journey through asana, pranayama, meditation, sound healing, yoga Nidra, and philosophy sessions.
- Experience life on a tropical island, surrounded by raw tropical nature.
- Level up your self-growth, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned practitioner.
- Nourish your body with healthy, vegetarian meals designed to support your yoga practice.

A day in the Sadhana Retreat
The Sadhana Retreat is designed to offer profound insights into the practice of yoga while giving you space to reconnect with yourself.
Your day begins with a complete yoga session, integrating asana, pranayama, and meditation, followed by a nourishing breakfast. Morning philosophy classes will explore key yogic teachings to deepen your understanding and support your personal journey.
Before lunch, you’ll be guided into deep rest through practices like Sound Healing or Yoga Nidra, a meditative state often described as “psychic sleep.” In the late afternoon, you’ll return to the mat for another enriching yoga session, and after some time to unwind, the day gently concludes with a silent evening meditation, helping you settle into stillness and reflection.
Ample breaks are woven throughout your schedule, giving you time to unwind on the private beach or explore the tranquil surroundings of the island.
Yoga classes: You will practice multiple yoga styles during the retreat, including Hatha, Vinyasa, and Yin yoga. The level and intensity of the class will be adapted according to the needs of the students. Variations for all levels will be offered, making these classes enjoyable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
Meditation: In the evening, you will join 45 minutes of silent sitting meditation. If you are new to meditating, their experienced meditation teachers will teach you a simple yet very effective technique. If you already have a personal meditation practice, you may continue it during these silent sessions.
Your teachers: The classes will be taught by multiple teachers. They are sincere yogis with many years of experience and dedicated personal practice. They will share their diverse gifts with you from an authentic and heart-centered place of service.
