The Yoga Lodge, Phuket

"My very first yoga retreat — and definitely one of the highlights of my 2025! 🧘‍♀️✨ I enjoyed it soooo much! Huge thanks to Carla and Davina for being so warm and welcoming. We arrived at the villa as strangers but quickly became friends — seen, heard, and valued. As a beginner, Carla was so patient and supportive, making each session feel comfortable and empowering. The whole experience helped me connect with myself on a deeper level. 🙏💫 And the food? Absolutely amazing! Thank you Davina and Carla for preparing such delicious, nourishing meals. Now it’s giving me major sepanx because I already miss the group and our beautiful bonding moments. 🥹❤️"

"Well how can I sum up in words how special this last week has been in Ibiza with Debbie and Carla. The beautiful setting sunshine fun group of wonderful people..then the food just delicious and care from our wonderful hosts. The yoga and therapies were just perfect for all of our levels and we all learnt so much. I especially loved practicing yoga outside with the sun warming us.the gong sound bath was so special a total relaxing experience and Debbie and Carla went the extra mile and some everyday to make this week one of the most special times and I will remember it always 💞"

"The Yoga Lodge retreat near Surin Beach was a fantastic first yoga retreat for me. I knew Carla from the UK and am a huge fan of her style of yoga teaching. She is confident, calm, assertive and really encouraging. I wanted to work on some particular postures whilst I was away and she helped me achieve them! The Lodge itself is beautiful. Lovely communal spaces and plenty of room to either be on your own or hang out with others. Breakfast/brunch was always plentiful with a lovely selection of fruits, yogurt, granola and a cooked option - so tasty. I had a room on the lower ground floor which had a balcony overlooking the beach - clean, comfy, quiet and a gorgeous bathroom. I participated in a couple of excursions, but I would say that you don't really need these if you're looking for a chill out retreat. You can walk to Surin Beach and the shops or massage places in 10 mins if you want an outing. I met some lovely people from all over the UK - great conversations but I also felt very comfortable to say I wanted my own space and went off to read most nights! Highly recommend Carla for her hospitality, good quality and her teaching. Thank you so much! Namaste x"
