The Yoga Lodge, Phuket

WONDERFUL!!! I’ve had the most amazing trip with a group of specials ladies! Carla and Davina are the best hostesses you would want for this kind of week. Everything was perfect: location, the food was super good! The program! It’s been such a pleasure of meeting everyone during this trip and getting to know each and everyone and learning new techniques. The classes were very nice and Carla was so thoughtful and sweet to teach and helped everyone on their own levels. I would recommend the Yoga Lodge to everyone and I will definitely be going back and keeping in touch with the rest of the ladies. The sound bath experience was soooo good! Thanks to everyone!t 🇹🇭🥰

Well how can I sum up in words how special this last week has been in Ibiza with Debbie and Carla. The beautiful setting sunshine fun group of wonderful people..then the food just delicious and care from our wonderful hosts. The yoga and therapies were just perfect for all of our levels and we all learnt so much. I especially loved practicing yoga outside with the sun warming us.the gong sound bath was so special a total relaxing experience and Debbie and Carla went the extra mile and some everyday to make this week one of the most special times and I will remember it always 💞

The Yoga Lodge retreat near Surin Beach was a fantastic first yoga retreat for me. I knew Carla from the UK and am a huge fan of her style of yoga teaching. She is confident, calm, assertive and really encouraging. I wanted to work on some particular postures whilst I was away and she helped me achieve them! The Lodge itself is beautiful. Lovely communal spaces and plenty of room to either be on your own or hang out with others. Breakfast/brunch was always plentiful with a lovely selection of fruits, yogurt, granola and a cooked option - so tasty. I had a room on the lower ground floor which had a balcony overlooking the beach - clean, comfy, quiet and a gorgeous bathroom. I participated in a couple of excursions, but I would say that you don't really need these if you're looking for a chill out retreat. You can walk to Surin Beach and the shops or massage places in 10 mins if you want an outing. I met some lovely people from all over the UK - great conversations but I also felt very comfortable to say I wanted my own space and went off to read most nights! Highly recommend Carla for her hospitality, good quality and her teaching. Thank you so much! Namaste x

This retreat was amazing!! The location is tranquil and stunning, the schedule - including daily yoga, meditation, and workshops - was varied yet extremely grounding and relaxing. Most notably, Carla and Davina were amazing hosts. They were so warm and friendly and it really created a great group atmosphere. They also went above and beyond in catering for my dietary requirements. I have been on several yoga retreats and this was by far my favorite, I would recommend it to anyone!

Such an incredible experience. Carla makes every guest feel so welcome and has so much interesting knowledge to share about yoga poses, mindfulness and meditation. She includes unique workshops and provides so much tasty food. We were never hungry. Highly recommend.

I recently attended Carla’s yoga retreat in Phuket, and it was an unforgettable experience. The retreat was nestled in a tranquil, lush location, the accommodation was comfortable and thoughtfully designed, offering a peaceful haven to unwind after each yoga session. The yoga classes were tailored to all levels, the morning sessions were invigorating, focusing on breathwork, alignment, and mindfulness, while the evening practices were restorative and soothing, perfect for unwinding. There were plenty of additional activities available, with opportunities to attend Thai cooking classes, visit an elephant sanctuary and take part in a waterfall hike. Overall, this yoga retreat in Phuket was an exceptional experience. If you’re new to travelling alone, or attending yoga retreats, you’re in safe hands with Carla who is on hand to answer any questions and generally make the whole process seamless and enjoyable! If you’re thinking about attending one of Carla’s retreats, make the commitment and go, you won’t regret it.

My very first yoga retreat — and definitely one of the highlights of my 2025! 🧘‍♀️✨ I enjoyed it soooo much! Huge thanks to Carla and Davina for being so warm and welcoming. We arrived at the villa as strangers but quickly became friends — seen, heard, and valued. As a beginner, Carla was so patient and supportive, making each session feel comfortable and empowering. The whole experience helped me connect with myself on a deeper level. 🙏💫 And the food? Absolutely amazing! Thank you Davina and Carla for preparing such delicious, nourishing meals. Now it’s giving me major sepanx because I already miss the group and our beautiful bonding moments. 🥹❤️

I recently attended Carla's Full Moon restorative yoga session, which she runs monthly, and it was an amazing experience. The location is absolutely breathtaking, with views overlooking a serene lake and mountains, creating the perfect setting for relaxation and mindfulness. I’ve also been to one of her retreat days at a beautiful villa with an ocean view, and both experiences have left me feeling calm and rejuvenated. From the moment you arrive, Carla makes you feel completely at ease. Her warm energy and welcoming presence immediately set the tone for a wonderful experience. She offers a variety of movements, with options for all levels, so whether you’re looking for easier moves or a bit more of a challenge, she’s got you covered. One of the highlights for me was the sound bath at the end of the session. It’s the perfect way to sink into deep relaxation, and I could feel all my tension just melt away. Beyond the yoga, her classes have a wonderful sense of community. It’s a great opportunity to meet new friends and connect with like-minded people. Overall, I’d highly recommend Carla’s yoga sessions and retreats. They leave you feeling relaxed, energised, and motivated to come back for more!

Carla and Debbie have run the yoga retreat in Ibiza several times before and it shows. Everything is tried and tested, resulting in a hugely successful and well polished experience. From classes, workshops, downtime, the food, activities … 10/10. Felt well looked after and supported at the retreat and nothing was too much trouble. Fantastic retreat from beginning to end. Very informative and learned so much. If you’re thinking about a retreat with these ladies, do yourself a favour and book today .. you won’t regret it! 💟

I was lucky to book a Yoga Wellness Day with Carla Mitchell. The whole experience was amazing with fantastic food and great people to connect with. I really loved the Yoga Sessions. Carla is an amazing Yoga teacher. My personal highlight was the gong sound bath and the deep relaxation. Thank you so much. I 100% recommend to experience Yoga with Carla and her team ♥️🙏🏻
