Design your own retreat
Are you thinking of hosting your own retreat on a tropical island? Then look no further as our home and Sukha School of Yoga offers you the full Ashram experience!
As traditional teachers, let your students come to you at your place of learning. Your guests can stay nearby anywhere on this beautiful island while you harvest the sattvic energy of your intended retreat!
The Ashram:
Our Grounds: Our simple but beautiful grounds are designed by myself to offer you and your group a delightful experience in nature. Rarotonga is a spiritual vortex, one of a few on the planet and you really feel it here too.
Our Scared Shala
A Shala is a place of learning, learning is self knowledge experienced from the breath. The breath brings us life and nurtures our soul.
The Shala: Our Shalah is spilling over with love and abundance of good energy from our regular school of yoga and it is here for you, fully equipped to host your own classes. The shala is 10meters by 5 meters and can host up to 14 mats not including the teachers space at the front.
Our grounds are tended by myself and no staff exploitation or animal cruelty has taken place here. Pigs may roam through, chickens, and the occasional crab even! No meat is cooked on the premises either. The grounds are not perfectly manicured, they are natural and tended to daily by myself, there is so much sattvic love poured into our venue that we hope you enjoy it and even add to it too!
The House
The house on the grounds is a simple home that I live in with my dog Lulu when not renting out to you. The venue is in a village called Matavera, 15 minutes from town and 5 minutes from the famous Muri Beach.
PRICE for minimum 5 nights is $350p/night plus $500 for Shala & equipment.
Includes:
2 Queen Bedrooms (extra single bed may be added to each room if not couples) and a spare third single room is available at an extra $50 per night.
1 x room has an ensuite
1 x room has a private deck overlooking the back eco garden and a shared toilet.
the spare single room is a converted massage room, so very basic!
You will have full use of the whole house and full use of the grounds. We have a gate for privacy during your retreats and a stream that wraps the entire property. The deck to the house is large enough to host your entire group for lunch or dinner.
Yoga Equipment: We have mats, blocks, blankets and yoga chairs for your retreat and we have puja tables and temples, Tibetan singing bowls, tingsha bells and so on for your sessions or personal use.
We are tucked in the middle of a local rural village and so you will hear not only the sounds of nature but the sounds of local life too from our local farmers (at times) to our local gospel church every Sunday! All in all it is extremely serene and peaceful.
Catering can be provided at $20 per person for lunch and $30 for dinners. Ben has hosted our retreats before and the Yogis love him. He can do full vegetarian or whatever is required. Booking for this is essential closer the time.
Tours & Treks can be planned as you go, we can help you with planning your schedule if needbe. Nothing is stressful here in Rarotonga!
