I was looking for the perfect spot for my solo-travel, by my understanding it means a balance between solitude when I needed it and a good atmosphere, friendly people to be with when I wanted to. I wanted to profound my knowledge of Yoga, learn about myself and improve my health. I chose this spot because of two main reasons; only two teachers who give all classes, meaning that they love what they’re doing, day in day out. Secondly the professionalism was clear, it wasn’t about ‘Some yoga classes in a yoga retreat’, but about the traditional and correct yoga and its approaches. I am glad I chose this retreat, it met my expectations and above. I’ve learned so much, things I couldn’t imagine at first. Sofya and Rich are focused on your personal development, mind and body. In a firm, but encouraging way, they push you to your limits and you can’t help it, but love it. They give you so much, transmitting their knowledge in a humble way. Also, very important, the food is awesome, a whole food plant based buffet is available. The food is perfect, the cook does an amazing job! I kicked sugars out of my life without a problem after this 2 weeks, and this coming from a sweet tooth. Also the homemade snacks and tea are a ‘looking forward’ moment of the day. 🙂 The room was perfect, above expectations, at a 7 min walking distance from the shala. Very clean, spacious and practical. I have a very turbulent workschedule and no structure, but TAYSP motivated me to work on my lifestyle again from the inside out. And it was exactly what I needed. I am happy I chose this one out of many possibilities, it was more than I needed and could’ve asked for. There is no doubt that I would come back for more of this! Sofya and Rich, you guys won’t get rid of me anytime soon 🙂
As I was looking for a yoga getaway trip that could enrich my limited knowledge in Ashtanga, this place has well-fulfilled the purpose via a balanced structure of theoretical and practical workshops. When they said the programme is intensive, they meant it by all means! While there’s no obligation to join all the classes like a TTC, the building of internal energy through regular (physical & mental) practices and the encouraging attitude of Rich and Sofya as instructors would motivate you to crave for more. After 7 days of concentration on my own breath, muscles, diet, thoughts, under their strict guidance, not only did I feel healthier, I found the lost clarity in my mind which was the most rewarding take-away from this trip. If you’re looking to improve your wellbeing rather than simple relaxation, here is the place to look for.The only tiny disappointment was the swimming pool facility as the bottom tiles were broken and dangerous to step on. Having said that, it was because I expected to soak into the pool in between breaks but the complimentary add-ons, eg. colon cleanse, Thai oil massage, ice water treatment have kept me occupied and even more beneficial for the time spent.
I just finished my TTC 200 hours training here, the teachers Rich and Sofya are very professionals, who provided me tough, intensive training but at the same time, they helped me a lot through out the course, with lots of attention and assistant. And they being very generous with greatest endeavors to teach me during the training. In my trainings, I have given loads of support to overcome my weakness and I feel very safe to try new things and challenge.The adjustment class from Rich are superb, I have learnt a lot from him which I have never experienced outside, they are effective and also very safe and I believe it will be very useful for me in the future. The atmosphere in the Shala are nice, people here are very friendly and helpful. Also the accommodation is very comfortable with everything i needed through out my stay And I personally love the cookies and cake provided by sofya, they are super tasty 🙂
I had a very nice time at the Traditional Ashtanga Yoga Shala Phuket and a considerable benefit of my body transformation and changing. Definitely the right decision if you want to work on yourself (body & mind). You will be occupied by very experienced and professional teachers who can lead you in the right direction and help you to do your own powerful transition. You’ll definitely get to know the potential of your healthy and subtle Body! Everything you need to do is engage yourself with the program and your personal adventure will begin.
The program was very professional and informative. The instructors are kind and passionate about what they do. I did the 200 hour 28 day teacher training but there were other people there doing different courses such as detox programs. All were very intense and difficult but definitely worth it! If you’re looking for a high quality and vigorous yoga school for a teacher training or just a week long intensive course I HIGHLY recommend this program!!
I had the pleasure of participating special 7 classes ( one to one ) after disc operation into my back . All my joints became hard and difficult to move due to one year laying down on bed with no exercises. . Today After 7 intensive classes with Rich i had walked 3 kilometers without feeling back tension and started jogging for the 1st time since last year & feeling comfortable. Both Rich & Sofia were extremely passionate, open minded, patient, Deep and Deep knowledgeable and experienced coaches. I loved their hospitality and welcoming. They are so flexible and helpful. Being fairly new to the practice of Ashtanga , it was a challenging and enjoyable introduction. Now i’m going back home with lots of knowledge about how my body works , type of food to eat, habits to change and the most interesting i learn how to really relax. Highly recommended.
Sofya & Rich are literally the best of the best in their field & have an incredibly professional & unique aptitude to yoga & its disciplines. I hadn’t practiced yoga for quite sometime before attending the yoga retreat but Rich & Sofya really build that self trust & commitment to oneself that is required to step into listening to your body & your mind more intuitively. It was honestly one of the best experiences of my life. Committing every morning to an intense Ashtanga practice with daily breathwork, meditation and lectures on yoga related topics. The yoga retreat was so profoundly impactful that I have decided to return & do the 200hr teacher training course. I can’t imagine attempting this with any other yoga shala .Overall, highly highly recommend Sofya & Rich as the best mentors for guiding you through your yoga journey, Two incredible passionate people who love what they do & so driven to help others. They live and breath what they practice & are wonderful examples of what life can look like when you commit to helping others and yourself in a very pure, selfless way. Love & light is what sums them up in its totality. Feel lucky to have met them. They have left a lasting impression on me forever more & I look so forward to attending their yoga teacher training course this year.Thank you Sofya & Rich for the amazing experience.
I was in the same TTC cohort as Calvin and it was a massive waste of time and energy. Rich has a very negative, snarky personality and ruined what should’ve been a positive and motivating learning experience. Think twice before joining this teacher training course as there are many other Yoga programs in Thailand that are practical and won’t discourage you. I have now stopped practicing Ashtanga entirely and it is solely because of this experience.
Terrible school , I guess they can’t take any negative comments , they said they are expected bad review form student that fail the exam . And they also said u need to k ow abc and know English to be able to do teacher training, which is not true . I took teacher training before and don’t have such experience , you runs a business and u should expect comments . We only give comments base on experience , I never failExam because I never took the certificate, I tossed it as soon as I get it, because o don’t know the answer they are asking doesn’t mean I fail the whole exam, they talk talk talk and expect u to remember things, they never teach student sequence regardless if u are beginner or not, they give u a sheet of paper and u just have to learn it urself , which any one can download online , I never learn my sequence from the teacher neither I have seen them perform any sequence one, it’s ashtanga teacher training, the whole point is to learn sequence , but anyway , if u wanna join this class make sure u speak English , know sequence , otherwise it’s just a waste of money;
