Detailed Reviews
I spontaneously booked my trip on December 20th, 2019 without doing any extensive research and I hit the jackpot! This was the best possible experience I could’ve asked for. Johnny & Melissa are two of the most knowledgeable, kind, and caring individuals you will ever meet! This will be an intense 4 weeks, but you won’t regret it. The content is consistent, easy to digest and you will surprise yourself at what you’ll learn by week 4!
Ananda itself is beautiful, it’s located right across from the beach. They even have their own area if you’d like to practice by the water, or take walks down the beach in the morning. The sunsets are incredible (GREAT for content)! Koh Phangan itself is my favorite island in Thailand, you’re far enough from the full moon tourists but close enough that you could grab a taxi if you really want to check it out. You’ll get Sundays off and I highly suggest touring the island!
Best of luck on your next adventure!
Namaste 🙏🏼

As a first time detoxer,I researched many resorts in Thailand but based on their webpage and prompt responses to my enquiries I chose Ananda.
Any initial concerns I had about the process quickly evaporated with a thorough meeting with the detox manager regarding my personal situation and goals,I left feeling confident I had chosen the right place.
All your days are scheduled and this helps a great deal, some days are tougher than another but that is to be expected, the staff are there to support you and do.
Accommodation was clean,comfortable with hot shower and both fan and great aircon.
Absolutely all the staff from the owner to the housekeeping team were friendly, professional always smiling and willing to help.
I have no complaints whatsoever and would recommend Ananda with question.
Thanks for a great stay.

I had been in talks with Valerie about doing my 200 hour YTT with her at Ananda for many months. She was extremely helpful and kept me up to date with how to get all visa requirements taken care of and the ever changing travel laws from the pandemic. Communication was quick and clear from the first email until I arrived at the resort. From the moment I arrived, Valerie and Nigel along with the rest of the staff were so welcoming and helpful as I got settled into the island. I immediately noticed the way they all felt like a family and welcomed me as a part of it.
As for the training itself, there really aren't words to describe how revolutionary it was for my practice. Valerie is one of the most powerful teachers I've had in any discipline in my life. Myself and the other students quickly opened up to her and each other thanks to the environment she created. Valerie's experience and dedication to the practice of yoga is obvious in every class. The curriculum was thorough but presented in a way that made learning fun and the material understandable. By the end of the program I was confident enough to put together a sequence and fearlessly teach in front of students. In only a couple weeks since our training ended, I'm already teaching multiple classes a week of vinyasa, yin, restorative and nidra. I've also began to work on my brand and marketing via social media, something I never had knowledge of before Valerie's program. I'm already recruiting around people to join her upcoming trainings. EVERYONE should practice or study with Valerie at some point. My practice has transformed more in the last 2 months than it has in the 2 years since I first came to yoga.
I could never thank Valerie and her team enough for this experience. I feel so blessed that I ended up in her training!
Other notes about Ananda itself: The resort is stunning. The pathways and garden are lush with plant life and butterflies, and my door was a 30 second walk to the most beautiful beach sunset on the island. The staff is small and all function like a family. I never went without because every staff member was helpful and accommodating. The food is delicious. The message therapists were life savers throughout my month of nonstop yoga. The yoga shala is peaceful and there are all props and tools I could ever need.

After trying one of the drop-in classes, I got kinda addicted to Valeries classes. So when she told me about the 200H Yoga Teacher Training I decided to extend my stay in Koh Pahngan to spend a beautiful month at Ananda! Didn't regret it for a single second. I learned so much and got to meet such wonderful people. Valerie is such an experienced teacher and the staff at Ananda made sure we were very well taking care of. Would definitely recommend to do yoga classes, or a yoga teacher training at Ananda!

Just finished 7.5 day detox program and can't remember when was the last time I've felt so light, clear-minded and filled with energy.
Yes, it's an intense week of scheduled detox activities, but Ananda team makes sure everyone is taken care of all the time.
I loved to have the option to do daily yoga, sauna and re-fresh myself in the pool during hot summer days.
If you like casual and family environment, and holistic approach to your body health, then don't think twice about booking your stay.
This was my 4th detox and the Ananda Detox center, and I will keep on coming back regularly.
Thank you Villy, Valerie, Noah and rest of the team.

The detox program is a powerful protocol offered by Ananda. As a participant, you are deeply supported by the staff, the amenities, and the scheduling to guide you through the 7.5 day healing/fasting process. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to go deeper in their body's reset and healing.

My experience at Ananda was amazing. The place is really beautiful and close to the beach. You can easily rent a bike or a scooter to ride around the island (when you have time!), but you can also enjoy hanging around the resort, which has a beautiful garden area and saltwater pool.
As for the teacher training, Johnny has put up such a structured and wide course that I find it hard to think you can come across a better 200 hours TT course.
He is very knowledgeable, devoted, and expert on all the aspects of yoga practice, and he is very good at explaining, and present all along the course together with his assistants.
Definitely a must if you want to take your 200-hour course!

Not sure the proper words exist yet in English to describe Valerie and the entire Ananda team. Perhaps ‘out of this world’ or ‘simply amazing’ would be a good understatement. My experience at Ananda was so much more than imagined. The team is very empowered to help you in building a quality and soul healing experience. Took the 200 hour Yoga Teacher training with Valerie and assistant Jackie. The training and knowledge between the team is impressive and they worked perfectly together to make all the class stronger in yoga physically and mentally. Valerie has over 30 years of experience and was personally responsible for starting / bringing the art of Yoga to Women in the Middle East. She is an inspirational Master of Yoga of embodies the art. Valerie is very confident and always cares for her students’ health; undoubtably pushed me to new heights and limits never imagined. Jackie was a wonderful Assistant and really helped the class perfect poses correctly and safely. A dynamic and well balance duo! The food is excellent and So and Dow run a very tasty, and clean kitchen. The Thai dishes are amazing, loved the green curry. Open suggestion to sit and eat at the Shell Restaurant, perfectly situated right on the beach. Nigel is a friendly soul and always good for a good talk :) Suggest trying some of the chocolate cake on the menu or bliss balls :) Noah is in charge of the detox program and will make sure all your beverages are perfect to help you on the journey to a better You. He is a very kind soul and gives off fun and positive vibes. Villy will help you check in and out and book massages for you and also teaches classes. She is a loving soul and makes you feel at home. Lots of friendly faces and good vibes at Ananda. Teachers are all amazing! Please consider, highly recommended! Thank You ALL so much! I appreciate each and every single member of the Ananda Team 🙏

My friends and I used a day pass to use the pool and the herbal steam.
One of the lads availed of a massage session and he absolutely loved it.
From the minute I placed the phone call 📞 till we finished, everything went smooth.
Absolutely stunning place.
We have had an amazing time. The owners are utterly friendly n down to earth. Enjoyed the chit chat. It’s always to have a human connection. I didn’t get the chance to meet Mrs but honoured to have spoken with her twice on the phone.
I didn’t use their programs “yet”. but I’m excited to return back and join the detox program for a couple of days.
After we restored our beauty after using the salty pool / herbal steam with a freshly squeezed juice, we crossed the road to grab a drink for a Shamazing sunset.
I personally fell in love ❤️ I left my heart there ❤️
I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful engraved experience.
I look forward to returning again
Thanks a million

It is a lovely place and the owners and all the staff are very friendly and make you feel very welcomed! The yoga classes are very good and you can join as many as you want per day. They are, as well as the good food and a daily massage, included in the price. The restaurant that belongs to it, “the shell”, is directly on the beach, a great place to hang out and watch the sunset! Very easy going and very friendly! 👍The rooms are simple, clean and have A/C. Very good price-performance ratio and a nice place to stay. 🤗

Hi Helen,
We have many guests who undergo their very first detox at our center. Our program is time-proven and set up in a way that is very easy for people to start, follow, AND stick to for the whole duration of the detox (even while fasting!). For yoga, it is not a problem even if you're a beginner. We generally do recommend yoga to be considered an optional part of the detox program. We ask that you see how your body does during your detox, day by day. Some people find yoga to be a great combination, while others find it not necessary for their detox. Regarding the length of time of detox, we highly recommend the 7 day program for a full clean. Thank you for your question and we hope to welcome you soon to our friendly wellness resort!
-The Ananda Team
