With a strong emphasis on cultivating mindfulness through practices such as meditation, Yoga, ecological harmony, and community engagement, Suan Sati provides a nurturing environment for inner reflection and genuine connections to flourish.
The concept of Suan Sati was conceived by its owner, Will, during a lunch gathering with his Thai friends in October 2015. After years of constant travel, he felt a deep longing to establish a place he could call home, combining his passions for meditation, yoga, and conservation. With the support of his Thai friends, Will's vision materialized, and in June 2016, he relocated to the site of the first Suan Sati location, transforming his idea into a reality. Despite limited funds and lacking specific skills, Suan Sati opened its doors to friends and volunteers who joined forces in co-creating this sacred sanctuary. Lisa, the co-founder and primary instructor, brings her expertise and passion for yoga to Suan Sati. Originally from Austria, Lisa specializes in Hatha, Vinyasa, and Yin Yoga, with her practice and teaching influenced by Bhakti Yoga. Before discovering yoga, Lisa worked as a physiotherapist, practicing bodywork for quite a few years. However, a chance encounter with a visiting Yogi from India in 2015 kindled her yoga journey. Since then, Lisa is on a continuous learning mission, seeking inspiration and guidance from teachers worldwide, immersing herself in various traditions and incorporating their wisdom into her own practice and teaching methods.

It all started with his daily practice of yoga and mantra recitation, which gradually expanded to encompass yogic purification techniques and advanced Kriya Yoga. After receiving the Sanyasa initiation in India, he made the courageous decision to detach from his well-established career and wholeheartedly embrace the creation of a new life experience. Throughout this personal transition, Satyaprem recognized that others may also be seeking guidance and longing to embark on a similar path of self-discovery. This realization became the driving force behind the establishment of Shakti Yoga Retreat, a space where individuals can find the support and guidance needed to unlock the door to a new way of life.
