Our teachers

Each guest is supported by our team of world-class yoga teachers, expert Ayurvedic doctors, skilled local therapists, and exceptional in-house chefs. Throughout the year we also collaborate with a selection of high-calibre visiting practitioners, such as shamans, artists, chefs and musicians, to produce carefully curated experiences for our guests. Each member of our team, while individually skilled and unique in their approach, is united in their alignment with the Sanctuary’s ethos and values.

Our resident yoga teacher changes every few months, bringing a fresh and diverse experience for our guests. If you are interested in practising a particular style of yoga, please contact us before booking to find out what is available during your preferred dates.
