It is our honor and pleasure to have had literally thousands of guests over the past few years. Many have expressed their experience and impression by writing to us afterwards. We have compiled an extensive list of this and feature many on our Yoga Thailand guest feedback page. Here we would like to offer some specific words and testimonials sent back to us about our wellness and detox programs.
I was very impressed by the whole program and I have done many detoxes. I
think this is the 10th detox. I loved this one. Even though it was the
Candida detox and quite challenging, what I feel like now was so worth it.
The support throughout was amazing. The staff forever helpful even through
my tough moments and grumpiness. I had all the detox reactions (mildly) and
felt very good throughout. More importantly, the support post detox and the
help have been fantastic. Thank you so much to Claudia and her team!
Tiana, Hong Kong (May 2010)
I was extremely impressed with the program at Yoga Thailand. The wellness
center was welcoming and provided a caring and supportive environment, often
surpassing my expectations in terms of how considerate and caring they were.
I actually enjoyed the detox despite having to drink some particularly
horrible herbs. I didn't feel particularly low in energy and the busy
schedule of therapy sessions meant I didn't have much time to think about
food.
The yoga was an excellent addition to the package. I could really feel
myself sweating out the toxins. The daily detox meetings with Claudia were
educational and supportive. I now feel that I understand my body more and
have every intention of continuing by implementing all the recommendations
and tips given to me by Claudia. Yoga Thailand is a brilliant destination
for a holiday, yoga retreat and detox. The facilities and therapists are
outstanding - a great place to find a superb massage!
Francesca, UK (May 2010)
I have had an amazing time at Yoga Thailand, in an inclusive environment
where I felt nurtured and cared for. The yoga/detox program was well
designed and took into consideration my personal preferences and energy
cycles. I will definitely come back.
Olivia, Hong Kong (April 2010)
This program has the supervision backed by extensive knowledge that I have
found lacking at other detox retreats in Thailand. I cannot recommend it
highly enough.
Nigel, Hong Kong (April 2010)
This program was ideal for my first detox experience. The entire staff was
extremely friendly and creating a warm and welcoming environment. I was
never too full - always given lots of juices to fuel my body. It was very
informative, as I learned so much about proper detoxification. Better than I
expected, plus I feel great!
Amanda USA (March 2010)
Samahita Wellness is something that has to be experienced. I had tried, in
vain, on numerous occasions to detox at home. I decided to invest a week of
my time in a full detox program and after completing this I truly appreciate
the support required to do this. The staff at Samahita Wellness were so
kind, helpful and friendly. They made the detox schedule run smoothly so I
could just relax and enjoy the benefits. The support of the entire wellness
team helped me to come through the week feeling stronger, healthier and more
inspired than ever. The best present I have given myself this year is a stay
at Samahita Wellness Center.
Amanda, Ireland (March 2010)
I am really happy they had the colon hydrotherapy machine instead of a
colema board. I simply wanted to have colonics and never thought that the
right nurse could make such a difference. She really made me feel at ease,
so double plus on the colonics!

The detox program helped clean up a lot of digestive problems that had
emerged and were affecting my practice as well as general being. The
combination of the detailed detox program and the close attention to each
asana in daily practice has set me up to re-begin my practice, both asana
and nutrition.
Ross, Hong Kong(February 2010)
I'm very pleased that I did this and the service that I got, it was the best
thing I have given myself for a long time!
Aafke, Holland (January 2010)
The detox was very easy and perfectly organized.
Ester, Germany (January 2010)
Good guest information, helpful and friendly therapists and all staff. It
was a very good experience for us!
Barbara and Adi, Germany (January 2010)
The program is top notch, well researched and thorough. Yoga thailand staff
are friendly and competent in their work. I would recommend the detox
program without hesitation to anyone who would like to take their body to
another level of health.
Ty, Japan (January 2010)
Thank you! Yoga Thailand offers a great overall package: yoga, detox,
wellness center program (with such friendly and professional personal),
ocean, sauna as well as a fabulous kitchen. I feel light, clear and healthy
which makes me happy.
Anne, Luxembourg (January 2010)
Despite being on the Faster's Detox Program I never felt hungry. Samahita Wellness kept us well nourished and
feeling healthy, fit as a fiddle with fantastic juices, therapies and yoga sessions.
I am truly motivated to make positive changes in my life after this trip. I will definitely
aim to make this a regular trip.
Michelle Ling, Hong Kong (December 2009)
A detox program combined with yoga that allows anyone to follow easily. Claudia gives you the confidence that your health and wellness is being taken care of in the best possible way.
Kelvin Goh, Hong Kong (December 2009)
Claudia and the team at the wellness center are fabulous, right from the initial welcome meeting to the final goodbye. There is continues support throughout and even after with advice on what to eat and supplements to take for continued good health. I have a new respect for my colon!
Paula Dyer, UK (December 2009)
Claudia and all the staff are Amazing. It was far more than I ever expected. Eye opening and life changing. There was so much support. The staff are very professional. 100% satisfied and feel like I have been completely renewed.
Michael Bailey, UK (December 2009)
The detox program was a big surprise: I expected three days of being hungry and bored, and feeling weak, but it was the opposite. We had program and nourishment all day, and I felt good almost all of the time. now, at the end, I feel light and clean- and somehow safe.
Nelli Sauri, Finland (December 2009)
We had such a pleasure of a stay at Yoga Thailand. Between Paul, Jutima and all the lovely staff, you have created such a precious oasis and sanctuary on Koh Samui. A centre filled with such light and consciousness!
We are hoping that Hillary will run another fast at Yoga Thailand next year. We'll do almost anything to come back again.
Please keep up the great work! :-)
Please thank all the staff for their wonderful service during our stay.
Many blessings and grateful thanks,
Annabelle, Singapore (September 2009)
Thank you very much for providing me with such an unforgettable experience of lightened body and mind. I would also like to thank you for the warm atmosphere that is created with the help of all the personnel and Wellness Director! I will for sure come back!
Maria, Russia, (September 2009)
I was recently diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and have had many hospitalizations due to ill health. Detox and Yoga have helped me regain confidence in myself along with being able to feel better within myself.
Healthy eating and exercise have increased my energy levels dramatically and I plan to continue with these changes.
I sleep better, feel great when I wake up and have a much more positive outlook on life.
Anonymous, (September 2009)
The detox program, especially the Yogi one is amazingly easy to do. Yummy kitcheri!
Nancy, Hong Kong, (September 2009)
Sincere thanks to the Samahita Wellness Team at Yoga Thailand. In the 7 days of my detox program, Claudia and her team did everything to make my life endurable. A detox program is never an easy go, it is hard work with yourself to handle different types of upcoming cravings. Therefore the environment and the team around you which are giving you support are so important. Special thanks to Sarah, you are such an incredible and sweet nurse, you made my colon experience very tolerable. I also want to thank the Therapist Team - Dee, Than and Gung. Your healing hands helped me very much to go through this time of cleansing. And of course many thanks to Claudia, your sun shining appearance and professional attitude made every step of the program very clear to me.
Though it was not easy going, I really enjoyed this time of fasting and I would like to advise all of you to take your time and explore yourself in a detox program. You will feel lighter, cleaner and will have much more energy. DANKE!
Christian, Austria, (August 2009)
I can absolutely recommend the program. It is do-able, I felt great most of the time and feel even greater on my 7th day!!!
Lene, Norway, (August 2009)
Many thanks to all of you ! I would recommend to everyone to take a Detox Program. I feel as I was a month only relaxing. My yoga practice during the detox program was both more intense and more relaxing.
I did the Faster's Detox Program and the juices, soups and teas were more than enough to keep my yoga practice as usual and all tasted excellent. During the detox program I didn't feel any difficulties to take advantage of pranayama, asanas and any other activities I usually do.
It was easy to manage this 14 days program. The wellness team gave me great support, and helpful information about all the questions that I had. I enjoy every wellness treatment, which were done very professionally and with great care. I felt very well during my detox program and was surrounded by the excellent wellness team. I feel healthier and very clean in my mind and my body.
Many thanks.
Amra, Austria (August 2009)
Support was really great, the wellness staff were always caring for me and always lovely, helping to keep me on track with my detox program. I loved the Chi Nei Tsang abdominal massage and colonic hydrotherapy sessions. Afterwards I always felt clear, light and clean. After these treatments, I could sit upright in my pranayama sessions whereas my posture was always slumped before.
Continued staff support after the program for the rest of my stay was very helpful.
Thank you so much,
Susi, Austria (August 2009)
My detox program was very enjoyable. I felt it was very well designed, both the food and the schedule. I was surprised that I was not hungry at all on the program and my cravings for sweets and coffee totally disappeared (and have not yet returned!)
The wellness team were very supportive and kind throughout the program. They made me feel special and like I was doing something good for myself.
Since completing the detox program I eat a lot less than before I started and I really enjoy fruits and juices much more now.
Before the program my body felt hot and heavy, I never thought it could feel so light, clean and cool as it does now
Thank you to all the detox team at Samahita Wellness!
Megan, Taiwan (August 2009)
This Detox was a fully supported, healthy way to cleanse the body. My questions and problems were addressed quickly and adjustments were made immediately. Yoga Thailand Wellness Center made this experience an easier way to detox. I came off the cleanse feeling bright and energetic.
Samantha, U.S. (August 2009)
I went into this detox with specific objectives, to gain both physical and mental clarity.
These were achieved to my expectations through great professionalism, supportive therapists
and great program facilities. I have come away with a stronger yoga practice, the knowledge on
keeping my body cleansed and mental clarity on keeping myself present. Thank you guys for a
wonderful experience and all your support.
Jo McHugh, UK (July 2009)
I would like to thank everybody at Yoga Thailand for making my recent 10- day detox a resounding success.
As this was my first 'detox ' I was mildly apprehensive about doing a long 10 day program but the support
given throughout made it most enjoyable with all of the treatments being both relevant and of the highest
standard. The combination of detoxifing ayurvedic herbs worked well with the simple foods that eased us into
the juice fast proper. At no point did I feel any hunger pangs or discomfort and this in itself was a
pleasant surprise. The time passed quickly, as we were kept quite busy with saunas, massages, colonics
and steams all of which were explained and conducted with great professionalism and charm. All at Yoga
Thailand Wellness should congratulate themselves on putting together a very polished and complete package.
With thanks
David St John Leach, UK (June 2009)
I joined the retreat to learn about yoga & nutrition. I learned that and so much more.
I came away relaxed, rejuvenated and equipped with the tools and techniques to live a healthier,
more balanced life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Elizabeth (April 2009)
Life changing one week retreat has changed the rest of our lives. We are forever grateful. Thank you.
Caroline (April 2009)
I really can't think of anything negative to say about the YogaDetox program!
It has been such a positive experience and I learned so much valuable information
about how to take care of myself, mind, body and spirit.
Katie (April 2009)
You leave the retreat with a feeling of love for yourself.
