Yoga Samaadhi Vision
Yoga Samaadhi is an effort to integrate three life streams for social harmony. First, cultivating our inner awareness through the art and science of yoga and meditation. Secondly, applying awareness for a conscious living with nature and self-sustainability and finally, sharing our joy and happiness through community outreach activities.
It is our priority to create safe space for everyone to express, reflect and contemplate. We believe in the center and balance between the body, mind and spirit as an essential foundation for personal and spiritual growth. Through yoga philosophy, knowledge and practices, we strive to guide all spiritual seekers toward a joyful living, contented mind and spirit, a holistic lifestyle and together move closer to self-realization. What ancient wisdom we have to share, only serves as a tool to achieve these goals. We wish to make this tool accessible to all and trust that all dear ones utilize this great gift, passed down from yogis and ascended masters, for spiritual growth.
Our Philosophy
Our school believes in human potential for growth. We are seeds ready to sprout. With good soil, water and sunlight, there is no telling how beautifully you will grow. We believe in living and growing with love, unity and harmony, both internally and externally.
Some essential philosophies we try to bring forth in our teachings and daily lives are:
(1) “Self-love and acceptance is the first step to a joyful life”
We believe in a harmonious living. Harmony between the mankind and all of Mother Earth and her creation. However, in order to find such kind of external harmony we have to start by going inwards to find internal harmony between you and yourself. To rediscover, understand, accept and love our own true nature is the first step necessary to face the external world and to deal with what life brings. The love of your true self brings stability and strength to live fearlessly but with compassionate and love for all beings. We believe that the solution to all external problems in the world first starts from finding the peace within ourselves.
(2) “Discover who you are and find the ultimate purpose in life.”
Human nature is built-in with curiosity. We love to solve problems, we look to discover the unknown, and we crave for answers. The greatest mystery of all are questions of our existence, “Who am I? Why am I here?” Without your name, fame, diploma, job position and success stories, who remains underneath these identification given to you by society? There is nothing wrong with us living in the norms of society. However, we encourage all to discover their own uniqueness, your true self and a higher purpose beyond living life within that norm defined by others. This is your personal journey to make.
(3) “Spirituality in sustainability as a way of life.”
There is a strong spirituality in sustainability. Spirituality is a way of living and so is sustainability. It is our attitude towards life that translates in thoughts, speech and action. The two concepts are intertwined and is inseparable. In loving and caring for surrounding nature, you also unconsciously direct the same energy inwards and, in time, gradually extends to others. For many who find difficulty loving themselves or people around them, spending quality time in nature and learning to connect with Mother Earth can proof to be emotionally, mentally and physically therapeutic and healing.

When I wondered what I should do about my own menopausal symptoms, yoga, which I had tried a little bit decades ago, suddenly came to mind. After starting yoga a little, and after three months, I noticed changes in both my body and mind. Wanting to understand my body better, I decided to take Yoga Training 200. This school's schedule fit my needs. I had researched many schools, but I was honestly anxious and unsure about what would be best until I actually went. However, when I arrived at the school, it was amazing. Everyone seemed happy, strangers laughing like family, and I saw them talking loudly and happily. I remember feeling relieved afterward. Surrounded by mountains, with nothing around, it's incredibly quiet, and the air is so clean. I felt that Chiang Mai is a wonderful place. Lessons started the next day, and I studied yoga all day long. The teachers were very attentive, giving detailed instruction and lectures to each individual, and they truly cared for each person. Everyone there shared the same feelings, so we quickly became friends, even without knowing each other's language. When we received our certificates three weeks later, everyone was crying. Perhaps it was from sadness at parting, or from a sense of accomplishment. It's a不思議な school that fosters a family-like bond, and it makes you want to go back. So, next time, I've decided to go to India to visit this school. Incidentally, although it's surrounded by mountains, during the day you can walk around and find small cafes and chocolate shops. The chocolate is truly homemade and delicious; I highly recommend it.Posted on Google Alejandra VillarrealTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I completed the 100-hour training at Yoga Samaadhi, and overall, I had a great experience. ✨🪷 The course: The teachers were knowledgeable, well-prepared, and genuinely passionate about what they taught. I learned a lot, and they constantly encouraged us to grow and become better practitioners and teachers. Hope was always looking after the students, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the training. The location: The center is quite remote, with very little to do nearby. If you’re looking for seclusion, peace, and a break from the noise and distractions of everyday life, it’s the perfect place. However, if you’re hoping to combine the training with sightseeing or tourism, this probably isn’t the best location. The food: The food was delicious, and I genuinely enjoyed every meal. It was one of the highlights of my stay. The accommodations: I have mixed feelings because the owners are wonderful people, and the property itself has a warm, welcoming atmosphere. That said, there were quite a few bugs in the bathroom, the bed wasn’t very comfortable, and the room could have been cleaner. Overall: Despite a few areas that could be improved, I had a positive experience and am very happy I decided to do this training. I’m grateful for everything I learned and for the people I met along the wayPosted on Google Noji S.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I completed the 200-hour course in October, and it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Although it was quite challenging at times, I enjoyed every moment of the three weeks. I learned so much, and the teachers were great. The food was fully vegetarian (and egg-free), and honestly, I was surprised by how delicious it was. If you’re used to eating a lot of meat or have higher protein needs, you might want to bring some protein powder. I was also very lucky with my group. There were only six of us in the 200-hour course, which created a great learning environment. Hope was always available whenever we had questions and genuinely made an effort to ensure that everyone felt comfortable and supported. The guesthouse was amazing as well. The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming people, which made the whole experience even more special. If I decide to do a 300-hour course in the future, I would definitely come back. Highly recommended!Posted on Google Miroku HoshinoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wonderful experience at Yoga Samaadhi School. Before joining the course, I was very worried about my English. However, the teachers were kind, patient, and explained everything clearly, so I was able to enjoy the classes without major difficulties. The food was excellent. Every meal was buffet-style with plenty of fresh fruits, and everything was healthy and delicious. The dormitory was also very comfortable, and the soft beds helped me recover from the daily yoga practice. I was especially happy to stay in Mae Win, Chiang Mai. The beautiful natural surroundings created the perfect environment for yoga, meditation, and self-reflection. The teachers were knowledgeable and supportive, and I learned a lot from them. Even after returning to Japan, I continue mantra chanting and meditation every day. Thank you to all the teachers, staff, and fellow students for this unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this school.Posted on Google Chen CarrieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had one of best month here getting the 200hr ttc, the teachers were professional and supportive. The resort was beautiful and quiet, the cute dogs sometimes joined our philosophy classes and demanded some petting and attention. The food here was amazing, which helped me started my vegetarian diet too. I would 100% recommend joining any of the yoga training they provided, it’s filled with positive energy that helps you stay focused and grounded.Posted on Google neele LeschTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an absolutely incredible experience at this yoga school. Every single teacher was unique and inspiring in their own way—you could truly feel that they don’t just teach yoga, they live it. Each class reflected their personal practice and authenticity, which made the whole experience deeply meaningful and special. The main teacher was outstanding. The way he guided us, especially through the philosophical aspects of yoga, was fascinating. He opened the door to a much deeper understanding of yoga than I ever expected, and it really allowed me to immerse myself fully in the practice. The food was exceptional. Everything felt so thoughtfully prepared, with homemade sourdough bread and even homemade miso soup. You could really taste the care and quality in every meal. The entire team was unbelievably kind and warm. Everyone who worked there made you feel welcome and supported at all times. If you ever had questions or needed anything, you could always turn to Hope, who was incredibly helpful and attentive. The rooms and the whole space were beautiful, peaceful, and always very clean. It felt like a true sanctuary where you could fully relax and focus on your journey. Overall, nothing was missing—everything was just perfect. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience yoga in its most authentic and heartfelt form. Thank you!Posted on Google Olivia PietkowiczTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One of the most meaningful experiences I’ve ever had. This training truly exceeded my expectations, not only in terms of knowledge, but also in personal growth. From the very beginning, the team was incredibly supportive and attentive, making the whole process smooth and reassuring. The teachers are deeply knowledgeable and passionate, and their way of teaching makes complex topics accessible and engaging. The resort itself is absolutely beautiful, creating the perfect peaceful environment for the training, and the food was consistently amazing—fresh, nourishing, and something I looked forward to every day. The sense of community was something really special. In just a few weeks, it felt like a small family. Overall, an unforgettable journey that gave me both the confidence and the tools to continue on this path.Posted on Google יוסף קראTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to everyone—whether you’re looking to learn yoga or simply want to give yourself a meaningful and unforgettable experience. I spent three weeks here and truly felt at home from the first day. I learned so many valuable and important things in yoga and life, I met incredible people, and enjoyed some of the best food in Thailand. The classes are highly professional, and the teachers are genuinely inspiring. This is an experience I will never forget—and I’m certain I’ll be back.
