"I had a wonderful experience attending this yoga class. It’s a small, intimate class that’s suitable for all levels, which made it feel very comfortable and inclusive. The teacher, Andy, is knowledgeable and hands-on, offering gentle adjustments and guidance that really helped deepen my practice. The other students were welcoming and friendly, creating a warm and supportive atmosphere. The space itself is calming and serene—perfect for focusing, relaxing, and truly enjoying the practice. I also loved that the place has a cozy coffee shop and a selection of self-help and meditation books, making it a lovely space to slow down, reflect, and spend time even before or after class. Highly recommended."

About the Studio
Overview & Location
SOUL FRIEND & SPIRITUAL GARDEN is one of those places you might walk past without realizing how special it is. It sits right on Phet Kasem Road in Khao Lak, in the middle of normal everyday life, local shops, little food spots, traffic going by. Then you step inside and everything slows down a notch.
If you’re traveling between Phuket and Khao Lak, it’s an easy stop. Not a big retreat center or fancy resort setup. It feels more personal and spiritual than that, which is kind of the charm.
Yoga Classes That Don’t Feel Intimidating
They run a mix of yoga classes designed for all levels, like Dynamic Harmony Yoga, Gentle Flow Yoga, Hatha Awakening Yoga, Yin Yoga, and a few others, each focusing on balance, strength, breath, and mindfulness. The good thing is you don’t feel out of place if you’re new. Some people in class clearly practice a lot, others are stiff from traveling, and it somehow works.
The teaching style focuses a lot on breathing and moving in a way that feels sustainable, not like you’re being pushed into shapes for Instagram. You leave feeling looser, calmer, and more mindful, which is honestly what most of us need on holiday.
Meditation and Sound That You Actually Feel
Meditation sessions are held in a incredibly beautiful and spiritual space with layered sound in the background, which makes it easier to drop in, especially if your mind is busy. It doesn’t feel overly formal or strict.
The sound healing is a clear standout. They use bowls, rare instruments and gongs, and the vibrations are surprisingly physical, you can really feel it in your body. Some people describe it as deeply relaxing, others say it helps them release emotional tension. Either way, it’s not just “lying there listening to noise.” You feel something happening.
Café & Spiritual Bookshop
After class, most people end up in the café. Ceremonial matcha and cacao are popular (and tasty), and it’s the kind of place where conversations just start naturally. You see people reading, someone journaling in the corner, someone studying all the amazing spiritual and inspiring books that are filling the walls.
The books are all about mindfulness, spirituality, meditation, and philosophy. It doesn’t feel commercial in any way. The owners carefully picked books that meant something to them, and you can feel it!
What Visitors Say
Reviews often mention the atmosphere first. Calm, welcoming, genuine. Staff and teachers get described as warm rather than overly “spiritual,” which a lot of travelers appreciate. It’s a space where you can slow down without feeling like you joined a cult or a luxury wellness bubble.
And yes, the matcha and cacao drinks get mentioned a lot, because they are tasty and presented beautifully, of course :)
