"Fabulous stay in the mountains "
The place is absolutely magical and calm. We had incredible food and the accommodation was neat and clean and home built! The place has flowers and animals everywhere and a gorgeous morning view to start the first yoga session. Can’t recommend enough!

The most I loved was the spirit of the community and Adam’s and Maik’s lessons really brought me forward on my next yoga level. Many thanks for this great experience!

Accommodation was glamping! Really fun and comfy. Adam was so welcoming and you felt like part of something lovely. Lots of time for yourself as well as planned activities. Loved the walk to the local coffee shop too. The chance to meet people from all over the world was a highlight. I wished I had booked for longer.

"A wonderful place in lush nature"
The retreat centre sits in the middle of lush greenery with an amazing soundscape of birds around. Everything is well maintained and decorated with lots of love. The cats and dogs living in the center are lovely and you can see how much love they get at that place.
The yoga classes where very good although by default quite beginner oriented - which is great to enable participation at all levels but experiencd yogis may find them a bit too basic at times. In that case just ask the teachers if they can offer a few more advanced variations during the class - then it's perfect. My partner and I came back deeply relaxed and rejuvenated. Big thanks to Adam, Ning and the team.

"a fresh breath of air"
As soon as you arrive to the village, quite serene green landscapes greet you, with the smell of the fresh mountain breeze, with only locals in sight and the cutest dogs swarming the streets. The food was AMAZING, I was looking forward to every meal every day, the yoga classes were very balanced, and offered challenge when needed, and are convenient for all levels. I joined the elephant sanctuary tour and would recommend everyone to do the same while there. The people I met during these 4 days were wonderful individuals and kind souls. Altough the acomodation at true nature were fully booked, they were able to provide an alternative accomodation that's only 5 mins away by car, providing pick ups and drop offs when needed. This was done in a very smooth manner. The outside accomodation, while modest, was quite beautiful (authentic wooden cabins surrounded by only trees and flowers), a great place to disconnect.

"A blissful few days"
True Nature is more than just a place to learn yoga- it’s a wholesome community full of warm and kind people. The retreat offered the perfect balance of movement and yoga practice, as well as time to relax by either joining some of the organised activities (highlights were the ice bath and a visit to the sticky waterfall), or just relaxing in the breathtaking grounds, taking in the serenity of the location and beautiful views. If you feel like socialising with people there’s always the option, but equally if you just fancy some alone time there’s plenty of time and space to do that!
I particularly enjoyed the ‘sharing’ sessions at the end of each meditation practice - I never before realised how much you can learn about meditation and build on your practice by exchanging ideas, experiences and thoughts with others, and I love the way Adam and Natalia encouraged and facilitated these conversations.
The yoga flows were wonderful - I have a fair amount of experience already but I found I was challenged just the right amount and was learning new flows and positions I hadn’t before encountered. Equally there were plenty of beginners at the retreat who found the flows entirely accessible, thanks to Adam and Natalia’s supportive guidance.
A big thanks to everyone at the retreat- this is a week I will cherish!

This is a special place. I really liked that it felt like we were kind of a big family. Adam, Ning and her Family were taking very good care of us all.
The food is very delicious and the quality of the yoga sessions is very high. I could tell that there is a lot of experience and knowledge around yoga and movement. The place is even more beautiful than on the pictures. So happy I got to spend five days at True Nature! Thank you so much to Adam, Ning and the rest of the gang!

"Wonderful and Relaxing Stay"
Staying at True Nature was such a lovely break from the constant travel of backpacking, in a very beautiful and peaceful setting. The balance of a flow class in the morning to set us up for the day and then a yin class to wind down in the evening was perfect and there was a real variety of styles and focuses for each class. The food was delicious and there was plenty to have seconds at each meal - the breakfast was my favourite meal every day!

The yoga was very well led and with good instruction for all levels. The food was amazing different everyday and really tasty. Loved all the animals everywhere and just general relaxed vibe. We were very unlucky with 3 days of torrential rain, so couldn’t do any of the hikes/activities etc, but this is a good excuse to return

"Heaven on earth"
I just finished up a five-night stay at True Nature, and honestly, it was pure magic. The yoga and meditation sessions were amazing—whether you’re a newbie or experienced, Adam and Elia made it feel so accessible and inspiring. You can feel how much they love what they do, and it’s contagious!
The food each day was out of this world. Ning worked her magic with new dishes and flavours every meal, and each bite was better than the last. There are different room options, each with its own unique vibe, and I got a peek at most of them. They all had such charm!
Every day, there were fun activities to choose from, and the cooking class with Ning was definitely a highlight. But, honestly, one of the best parts was just soaking up the beautiful surroundings—hanging out with the adorable cats and dogs, taking in the views, or losing myself in a good book.
And the people, wow. I met so many amazing souls here. Adam and Ning have created something truly special, a place that just brings people together. I feel so lucky to have been part of it, and I know I’ll be back. This experience will stay with me forever.

"Nature, Clean, excellent veggie food"
It is in the nature and I feel very relaxed. Though it is nature, it is clean. You can hear birds and other insects.
We practise yoga in the open air yoga salsa. I usualy practise yoga in the air-con rooms and it is very fresh to be in the open air places.
The chief chef, Ning, prepares excellent veggie food. They are different in my 5D4N stay and all are delicious. Sometimes, they are in Thai style, and sometimes they are in Western styles. Excellent!
Yoga, as well as meditation, of course are excellent. Adam & Elia, our yoga instructors, always provide different options for different levels of participants

"un petit coin de paradis (fr/en)"
J'ai passé 5 jours incroyables, propriété immense avec plein de bungalows divers, cuisine délicieuse et copieuse, deux séances de yoga par jour avec beaucoup de temps libre pour aller se balader, se relaxer, ou aller à l'activité organisée du jour, c'était super. Faut parler anglais, bien sûr, comme souvent en Thaïlande. J'étais débutante en yoga et aucune pression, chaque position est présentée avec des variantes plus intenses pour les plus expérimentés, également.

Perfect little corner of paradise on Earth, big green place with lots of cute bungalows all around, nice decorated, the food is delicious and very well cooked. I was a noob at yoga and it went well, everything is well explained and there are variations for more experimented people

"Would definitely come back, definitely rejuvenating!"
The homely feeling of this place like I know I'm well taken care of for the next couple of days, food was awesome. Absolutely no pressure or judgement to not do something. Yoga was great. There is another teacher other than Adam and she's great too, Liana?(I'm sorry I don't know how to spell her name, but I also loved her energy!)
I booked the tent but ended up in a bamboo house which was awesome, no complaints, there was a fan, light, bed, pillow and comforter was super comfy. Animals from bird chickens to cat/dogs are always around and they bring such a therapeutic energy.
The people who visit this place are also great and friendly and non-judgemental. I loved this place!

"Incredible Yoga Retreat"
This yoga and meditation retreat was the best decision i made on my entire trip. Adam, Ning and Family truly welcome you into their community and simple way of life.
During my stay there were about 15 like minded people from around the world, many of which were also solo travelers. We all quickly bonded and The feeling of community was really amazing.
I found both the yoga and meditation instruction very comprehensive, the group activities were lots of fun and Nings cooking is simply out of this world!.
I left feeling refreshed, content and empowered to keep up a daily practice.
Thanks Adam, Ning and Family

"Almost afraid to recommend this place...cuz it is that good"
I am almost afraid to recommend this place as I’d wish it can always keep the way it is. It is amazingly down to the earth and honest.
The stay was amazing. Morning yoga and meditation gave my body and me a chance to retreat and transform. There you won’t have a problem for exploring or healing. I know my body is healed there and my mind got stronger and ready to go after five days.
If I can I will choose to go back all the time. Adam as the yoga teacher is extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful. None of the practice is dull. Very inspiring.
Ning is the most energetic and smart Thai lady with kindness and willingness to serve. You find the Asian woman’s strength in life from her. I have so much admiration for it.
This retreat homestay is growing rapidly and I selfishly wish it would stay how down to earth and simple.
My best regards for this business.

"I left a happier person & will return again"
Adam & Ning have created a really authentic retreat which serves to bring a quiet space of peace and tranquillity to those who stay. They are building a community of people that want to grow through yoga and meditation, rather than a business just to make money.
The location is beautiful. The food delicious. The yoga and meditation were just what I needed. Optional activities are offered with absolutely no obligation. The time between the morning and afternoon sessions is perfect for developing your own practice - or, as I did, to get addicted to taking ice baths!
This is not some high-end luxury resort, and that is exactly what makes it so special. I've already checked my calendar and I will return in December!

I really liked the structure of the days: some things are planned (such as the yoga, meditation classes, and the meals), but there is also room for spare time, and nothing is obligated. Food, and location are amazing. The yoga teachers were of a high standard and adapted to the level of the group. After just 3 days, I felt progression already.

"A Breathe of fresh air in Thailands Retreat Industry."
My time at True Nature was exceptional.
Having been on many retreats around Thailand in the past it was a breathe of Fresh air to actually see the owners of the retreat center on the front lines. Adam and Ning are both fully present during the retreat, Ning preparing the absolutely amazing buffet meals and Adam sharing his exceptional skills and knowledge of both yoga and meditation. Its obvious both are very caring and kind hearted people the way in which they get to know each of the guests and join the meals and just create a really loving environment for all to enjoy.

I had a great time! I really enjoyed the mix of yoga styles (asana in the morning and yin in the evening). Some of the poses really helped me relieve stress and back pain. The food was amazing! I don't usually eat vegetarian so I was pleasantly surprised with the diversity and flavors. I also met some great people on this retreat and the cooking class was very fun. This was definitely a highlight of my trip in Southeast Asia! Highly recommend!

"The perfect zen jungle haven for everyone. "
Everything about this place is special. Such vibes. Warm, kind, thoughtful instructors and staff, perfectly designed but flexible schedule, engaging, fun practices which are only challenging if you want them to be, beautiful views, and rustic but very comfortable and functional accommodations. An outdoor shower and a hammock are always the biggest luxury I could ask for. Great list of optional activities too. Zen summer camp for adults!
I’ve never felt more relaxed. I felt welcomed and accepted and met amazing friends I will keep forever. It was like I was saying goodbye to family when I left. 10/10 Best decision I’ve made.

"Did you know that Heaven exists on Earth?"
My friend, Melissa, and I arrived together for a 5 day, 4 night stay as the end of our 2 week adventures in Thailand. What a PERFECT conclusion! From the moment we emerged on the premise, we had absolutely no desire to leave. Adam welcomed us with open arms and showed us to our private bamboo bungalow whilst simultaneously inviting us to enjoy the ice bath that had been an activity from earlier in the day. We absolutely LOVED our bamboo bungalow. It was super simple with all the necessary amenities needed to be comfortable in a slow-paced environment (electricity, fan, flushing toilet, shower, sink, hammock, beds, mosquito nets, etc.)
The vibe of the retreat naturally flowed as new retreaters came in while old retreaters continued on with their journey. Although quite transient, the instinctual feeling of being with the right people at the right time felt divine. We met amazing people from all over the world that we will definitely be keeping in touch with, climbed up an entire waterfall, had a cooking class with the phenomenal Ning and received some fabulous traditional Thai massages. Between our daily activities, daily morning and evening yoga and meditation lead by Adam in the midst of the depths of the hundreds of bird calls took our hearts. We had the pleasure of having Ning, the mother you never knew you needed, as our yoga instructor for our last morning class. We had never laughed so hard yet grown so much during a yoga class before. We can’t wait to go back ASAP!

Loved how we started the day with yoga and a short meditation following that. Makes the whole day amazing. Evening yin yoga session were amazing as well - relaxing and peaceful way to get in that evening mood.
And the food is just amazing, Ning is a master 🧑🍳 the food is fresh and prepared masterfully 🤗

"Wunderbares Retreat"
Tolles Retreat. Mit 2 Einheiten täglich (07.30 - 09.30 und 16:30-18:00) und optionalen Ausflügen zur Mittagszeit ein perfekt gefülltes Programm, um auch zwischendurch etwas Freizeit zu haben und trotzdem regelmäßig zu praktizieren. Die Einheiten starten immer mit Yoga und enden nach dem Savasana in einer geführten Meditation, wir haben vorher noch nie regelmäßig Yoga praktiziert und sind trotzdem perfekt mit gekommen. Von Anfängern bis Profis kann hier jeder praktizieren. Adam hat die Kurse hervorragend geleitet und war sonst auch bei allen Fragen für einen da. Auch die Ausflüge / Sonstigen Aktivitäten wie Cooking Class bei Ning war sehr schön. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen.

"Blissed out in the jungle "
This was my first (and I'm sure will remain the best) yoga retreat I've done. The atmosphere was wonderful. Each day I woke to the crazy sounds of jungle birds, drinking coffee on my little bamboo bungalow porch as the light changed from dark to orange to bright, then kickstarting the day with yoga and meditation with Adam who was a fantastic, patient, and accommodating teacher. He struck just the right balance of pushing boundaries and encouraging us to accept where we are in the moment. The afternoon yin yoga was challenging and helpful in many ways. I was surprised how much it helped my body. The meditation truly affected my ability cope with current struggles I'm facing by helping me step out of the drama.
The optional activities were fun and rewarding. I did an ice bath, elephant visit, and especially loved walking up the sticky waterfall. The food was absolutely delicious. Ning is a fantastic chef and I hope to return someday to take her cooking class.
Overall, the 5 days I spent at True Nature left me calmer, happier, more in tune with my body and thoughts, and equally stimulated and relaxed. I definitely hope to go back some day.

I loved the surroundings, waking up, practising yoga and sharing experiences with the other guests with the sounds of nature all around was priceless. I was very sad to leave, but happy to have found a place where yoga, meditation, friendships and a sense of community, good and healthy food meet so harmoniously. Thanks to Adam, Ning and all the family for providing such an outstanding service, and so much needed warmth !

"The perfect retreat to reconnect with yourself!"
We had a fantastic time at True Nature and this was the highlight of our trip to Thailand!
The location is fantastic, set on a beautiful plot of land that is abundant in natural beauty. It’s off the beaten track but easy to get to, we got a taxi from Chiang Mai and return transport was organised by the host. We stayed in the Earth House which was great - it felt very connected to the nature around us but had all the necessities we needed.
There’s plenty of time for the Yoga itself with two excellent lessons a day. The classes work for all ability levels and we liked that there was a more challenging lesson in the morning and then a restorative lesson in the evening - my yoga practice definitely improved after just three days! In addition to lessons from Adam, we also had great lessons from his previous colleague from Chiang Mai. The view from the yoga studio is breathtaking which makes the classes even better!
The food is so delicious, neither of us are vegetarian usually but we really enjoyed every single meal and never went hungry. There was so much variety so something new to try every day.
The hosts were amazing and very welcoming. We enjoyed playing cards with Ning and her wonderful family in the evening and Adam did a fab job to organise day trips and keep everything on track. The scheduling was perfect, we felt so relaxed but never bored.

"Dankbaar dat ik hier mocht zijn"
Wat een topplek.
Ik heb hier heerlijke dagen gehad. Ik sliep in een gedeeld huisje, alles nieuw, alles mooi.
We werden ,naast de yoga en meditatie ook excursies e.d. georganiseerd.
Ik heb gekozen -2x voor het icebatj. Dat samen met een geweldige oliemassage was een herrijzing van mijn ‘soul and bost’.
Dank Adam en familie daar voor jullie gastvrijheid, hartelijkheid, aandacht, fijne yoga lessen, heerlijke eten, prachtig aangelegde omgeving ! Hopelijk kom
Ik ooit weer eens!

"Wonderful experience, would highly recommend "
Arrived at this idyllic setting overlooking banana plantation and rolling hills. So peaceful without feeling too isolated. Adam, Ning and all the staff made us feel really welcome and went out of their way to make our whole stay truly wonderful. The food was absolutely delicious and freshly prepared using home grown veggies - we never went hungry either! Adam and Ning are amazing yoga teachers and inspired us all to give plenty of new poses a try. We very quickly felt part of the family, eating, yoga and laughs around the fire together. Magical!!

"Great retreat "
Everything was perfect! Good cooked freshly three times a day. Adam made the exercises flexible for every level. He alternated the exercises so that they won't become routine and boring. The facility is setting in a resort type surroundings. Fresh air and beautiful views. There is not enough words to describe the staff. This is a family run business, so every member of the team tries his/her best. Definitely will return next year

"Beyond expectations "
Adam, Ning, ma, and yuye and the rest of true nature family (which includes the cutest cats, dogs and chickens and can't forget peter which will solve any issue you got) were the most welcoming and caring ever.
The classes with Adam were great. You can really feel how experienced he is. I'm a beginner and still managed to keep up with him thanks to his patience and way of explaining the postures. But the most important thing is that you can really sense how much he cares about the guests experience and well being.
Ning is the funniest. Her food is delicious and diversed. She's a real superwoman, taking care of the whole place.
The place is beautiful, surrounded by beautiful lakes and green fields.
I stayed in a bonglow which was really nice and comfy, you can really feel out in the nature.
The extra activities they suggest are great and for a reasonable price!
I did the sticky waterfalls tour which was super nice and and an ice bath guided by adam which was great and very friendly for a first timer.
Would 100% recommend :)

"Great vibes and gorgeous people"
Upon arrival, the atmosphere feels more like coming home to family than to a YOGA retreat. Everything is relaxed, and you'll immediately be welcomed by the existing participants. You'll meet fantastic people from all over the world with whom you can have deep conversations, but also lots of laughter and fun. Ning and her family are very friendly and make you feel like you've known them forever. The vegetarian food is excellent and always plentiful, so you definitely won't go hungry.
The location is beautiful, and Ning has transformed it with a lot of love and heart from a banana plantation into a place of relaxation and well-being. In addition to yoga exercises, various excursions or activities are offered daily at very fair prices. For me, this retreat was a real highlight because I was able to meet many great people, besides practicing yoga, who gave me valuable moments.

"Beautiful place to unwind and connect with people"
I can recommend this retreat - the owners are really friendly and build everything by themselves. The yoga and meditation classes are highly professional and the outside shala lets you easily connect with nature. The cabins are clean and basic, but have everything you will need. It is a great place I unwind and recharge - especially with the great food provided by Ning and her staff. Thank you!

"Amazing stay in nature with beautiful people"
I want to express my gratitude to Adam and Ning and everyone, who contributed for all their hard work and vision. The stay was exactly what I needed. We stayed in a bungalow overlooking the banana plantation, in front of the pond. Everything was very comfortable and overall great! Our favorite was the hammock net in front of the home for reading and chilling.
The vibes are amazing, the activities are fun and interesting. The yoga practice from Adam was very good and would suite different range of levels. And staying in nature and sticking to daily practice and meditation does change your state. I felt recharged and calm at the same time.
Ning cooks delicious Thai food, which was another highlight of the stay. It felt like a sort of additional reward to me after the practice, which reinforced both of them. Food is great quality and home cooked.
It was a highlight of our stay in Thailand and we actually felt sad when we had to leave. The community and the vibes there is pure magic. Go for it, you would love it too. <3

Overall, I had a wonderful time at the retreat. The property is beautiful and provides everything you need for a few days to relax in the middle of nature. However, be aware that it is quite remote and it took me a bit to get a Grab driver that was willing to drive the 1 hour outside of Chiang Mai. However, they helped everybody to arrange transport to leave again to the next destination.
The yoga classes were taught well by Adam and the Thai food by Ning was delicious. There was a variety of optional activites you could do but didn't have to which I liked (I did an excursion to the Sticky Waterfall and booked a massage). They also offer a laundry service for 100 Baht which was very convenient. Everyone was very friendly and helpful - I felt very welcome!

"Was it a dream?"
Everything! The beautiful natural environment, the yoga and meditation, the people, the food, the activities. Yoga in the morning and at sunset to the backdrop of mountains and to the sound of birds. Gazing at a sky full of stars at the end of the day quietly chatting with a new friend. Going to bed at 9 ~10pm every night and waking up naturally with no alarm clock (almost 10 hours of sleep every day plus naps!). Relaxing in the shade and literally doing nothing. The freedom to just BE with no judgment and no agenda. The warm vibes created by the gathering of like-minded people (the sort of people who think it's a fantastic idea to take a week off from the world just to do yoga!). The feeling of being taken care of really well. The variety and quality of the food!!! I felt like I spent a week in paradise and was so sad to leave! They will go on a break from February so if you still on the fence, stop thinking and just book now 🙂

"Such a beautiful place"
The yoga and meditation sessions are top. Adam knows how to make them enjoyable and provided alternatives for all levels. I really liked that the classes theme changed after each session and we were exploring and learning new things every day.
Food was unbelievable. There are thai dishes that I don’t particularly like, but Ning’s food was just divine. Everything is homemade and tastes delicious.
The place is magic. It is in the middle of the nature, surrounded by beautiful nature and views, 6 cats and 3 dogs. The place has a homey and relaxed vibe. A big plus for all the daily activities that were discussed the day before.
I’ll definitely go back next year and recommend to anyone.

"Absolute perfection "
I had an amazing few days at the True Nature retreat, my only complaint was that I didn’t book enough time there! The food was as amazing as everybody says (go Ning!), the yoga and meditation sessions led by Adam were both challenging and relaxing, and we were taught a lot of new poses and techniques which I’ll be using for home practice. Cannot fault the whole experience, massive thank you to Adam, Ning and family for making my stay so special ❤️

"Großartiges Yoga-Retreat in der Natur"
TrueNature - was soll ich sagen? Mir hat alles gefallen. Angefangen mit diesem wunderschönen Fleck Erde, den gemütlichen Unterkünften, der Ruhe & dem Zuhause-Gefühl über das grandiose vegetarische Essen & den tollen Yoga-Sessions ehrlich ein rundum sorglos Paket für Naturliebhaber. Adam ist einer der besten Yoga Lehrer die ich jemals getroffen habe. Generell sind alle sehr herzlich & hilfsbereit. Ich bin leider während des Retreats krank geworden & es wurde sich so lieb um mich gekümmert mit frischem Ingwer-Zitronen Tee & es wurden extra Medikamente für mich in der Stadt besorgt. Ich werde definitiv wieder kommen & länger bleiben. Es ist ein wirklich toller Ort zum entspannen & es ist nicht wichtig auf welchem Yoga Level du dich befindest - Adam gibt verschiedene Möglichkeiten vor wodurch jede(r) das Beste aus sich raus holen kann. Von mir eine 10/10 und dicke Empfehlung an jeden da draußen! PS: Buch länger als du glaubst zu brauchen - du wirst es lieben & nicht mehr gehen wollen!

Adam and Ning are very welcoming, the yoga sessions felt energising in the mornings and calming in the afternoon. The food was very tasty, especially enjoyed the cooking class with Ning. There’s plenty of free time to explore the area or relax, at the same time there’s daily optional activities you can join as well. Can only recommend this retreat to feel zen and appreciate yoga and nature!

"Invest in yourself and book this retreat "
I booked a week here and I am so glad I did! Adam and Ning have created such a wonderful, peaceful environment. Truly suited for any level of experience I will continue to recommend this retreat for a long time to come!
I stayed in one of the tents and it was just great and had everything I needed, the food is next level delicious and creative (if you get the chance do the cooking class with Ning! It was the loveliest day! A full belly and smile muscles sore!)
The yoga and meditation was great, I was at pretty much beginner level (had done a few lessons here and there over the years but nothing consistent) and was able to follow along easily with the perfect amount of challenge, Adam is a great teacher; patient and supportive and provides alternatives if you’re at a different level of experience, as I stayed for the week I was able to experience Nings morning lesson, it was SO fun but a workout that left us all sweating and laughing! The meditation sessions here for me was the perfect intro to meditation as it was such a safe place to try something new.
A week is the perfect amount of time so I do recommend staying longer if you’re able too.
Please invest in yourself and let yourself experience this gorgeous little part of our world. You won’t regret it!

"True Nature Chiang Mai 5 days retreat was a treat"
This was my first time experiencing a retreat and I would say that it has spoilt me and leafy me asking for more retreats like this. I loved the yoga and meditation sessions and it helped with self realisation towards better health. The yoga sessions were very good and opened the locked parts of my body like my shoulder joint. The meditation sessions made me realise the importance of being mindful of my health. The food provided was also very tasty and healthy. The retreat centre being outside the city was also good since we were close to nature and away from the hustle bustle of the city. Thank you Adam and Ning for amazing hospitality.

Adam is an experienced and knowledgeable yoga and meditation instructor. I very much enjoyed his morning and evening classes. The massages offered were also amazing. Everything was wonderful here.

I was very rusty and out of practice but under Adam and Ning's tutelage grew in confidence daily.
Ning's cooking is crazily good. Definitely take her up on one of her cooking classes if you get the chance. 😊
Waking up every morning to stunning views of the country side was a treat!

Ning, her mother, and her daughter run the housekeeping and cooking, and you will eat exceptional food every day! A really excellent team of lovely people.
The location itself is beautiful, and True Nature is a very apt name. The soundscape of the surrounding wildlife while meditating is an experience like no other.
There are also many optional activities such as cooking classes, ice bathing and massages to help you relax to the deepest!

"Beyond expectations 💖"
If you are looking for a pure disconnection, practicing yoga and meditation, living a simple and healthy life for few days surrounded by beautiful views, you are in the right place.
This retreat has been the best experience of my trip. I didn’t expected to learn so much from the yoga and meditation lessons these 5 days. Adam is probably the best teacher you could find: all the courses were always different and practicing those was always fluid. Energetic yoga in the morning and stretching one in the afternoon.
On the other side, we have been treated like queens and kings by Ning and her family. 3 delicious and healthy vegetarian meals per day.
In overall, I really loved every aspect of the retreat, I really enjoyed learning about Adam and Ning project and what they have achieved when buying that piece of land (absolutely amazing work done!).
I look forward to come again in few years to see how everything has grown and practicing again some great yoga!
Thanks again for this pure experience, it will be unforgettable!

I love this paradise. It was so hard to leave this amazing place after 5 days 4 night. I had my best time here. The Yoga, the environment, the sfeer, the food, the sound of the nature, the dogs. EVERYTHING IS PERFECT.
Adam is the best yoga instructor that I ever met. It doesn’t matter if you are beginner or experienced, I guarantee you! You will LOVE it. Every session is always something new. You will never ever get bored.
The meditation session is always the hardest part for me. But not in True Nature.
I can truly focus and relax when I meditated. 🧘♀️🧘♀️🧘♀️His voice will guide you and make you focus. Thank you so much Adam, you helped me a lot. More than you can ever imagine. Thank you for always be there for us.
For Ning : I love your food. You treated us like king and queen every single day. I enjoyed it being a vegetarian for this 5 days. This is my first time for being a vegetarian that long. And It was amazing. Thank you so much Ning. It was nice talking with you, you are so funny.
For Grandma : I love your voice when you were singing in the morning. You are so cute and always smile and happy. Thank you Grandma for helping us here.
Thank you so much Adam, Ning, Grandma, daughter of Ning and everyone who helped them.
You guys are amazing.

"Un retiro de ensueño..."
Quedan cortas las palabras para definir la experiencia en True Nature, el lugar es realmente especial con una energía única fruto del carisma y empeño de Ning que junto con Adam y Mum han creado el lugar perfecto para desconectar. Hay varios tipos de alojamiento, todos ellos construidos de un modo sostenible y decorados con mucho gusto. La shala de yoga es simplemente mágica y tiene todo tipo de materiales para la práctica de distintas disciplinas de yoga que Adam sabe integrar con un tacto y una maestría dignas de comentar. La comida de la mano de Ning es de otro planeta, cada día algo distinto, todo delicioso y presentado como un restaurante de lujo. Pero lo mejor es que desde el minuto cero te hacen sentir parte de la familia tanto ellos como sus mascotas. 100% recomendable.

"Excellent"
I stayed in the bamboo house for 3 nights. Really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. There was a daily mealplanning and yoga/meditation twice a day, but also the choice to relax and retreat individually if deciding not to participate with the optional activities. Lovely food made by Ning and Mom every day! Loved the dogs and cats too. Adam and Ning keep up the good work. Really loved the place and retreat and would recommend to anyone!

"Amazing retreat!"
The food was delicious, the atmosphere great.
The tent I slept in was great, the toilet facilities were super good and tidy.
The activities were fun and the instructors very good and professional. Very involved and even if you can't do yoga, very motivated to teach you. Adam and Ning are doing a really great job, don't hesitate and go here.
Also for this price it is unbelievable how good!
Also there are lots of nice animals. 😍

This yoga and meditation retreat allowed me to spend 5 incredible days, or time. The setting is beautiful and calming. I did my first yoga classes here and it was perfectly suited to my level as a beginner. The teacher is an unconditional benevolence and adapts to the level of each. I've been traveling in Asia for 5 months and I've never eaten as well as here thanks to Nin who takes care of the cooking, the dishes are varied and colorful with delicious flavors. I was in the aunt, I was afraid of being cold but it is very well insulated, it feels great. I could have stayed there for two weeks, many thanks.

"Absolutely wonderful "
Adam and Ning have truly created a wonderful place to reconnect with yourself. In a few days they make you feel like a part of a family and making it sad to have to leave. Not to forge that the food is amazing and the yoga lessons are very versatile and suitable for any level of experience. Would love to come back one day.
