"Wonderful Yoga and Energy healing retreat in paradise"

My friend and I had a private 4 day retreat with Sasha at Cassia Cottage in April. It was perfect!

Sasha organised the whole program and communicated very well in advance to make us feel welcome.

We had such a variety of program with a mix of yoga (for both a beginner like me and an expert like my friend) - every morning and at sunset (in different beautiful settings with an overview of the sea!), learning techniques and flows, but also different meditation techniques - so that we both could find our favorite - mine was the active one with chakras.

I especially enjoyed the personal reiki session that was powerful, and the numerology - we also had some art therapy sessions that were really relaxing.

It was a very complete program for the 4 days, and we felt refreshed and accompanied in our healing journey. I believe that I will start yoga now!

Sasha was great - and flexible during the whole stay and enjoyed teaching both yoga and discuss energy healing techniques - loved it, and believe that we will meet again at some point.

Cassia cottage is a beautiful, peaceful resort by the sea - the breakast was the best we had during our Vietnam trip (wow) - the resort had 3 pools on top of the beach, amazing spa with great massages - and a very friendly and laid back atmosphere. Our garden view bungalow was peaceful and beautiful. We would have loved to stay more!

"Enlightening 4days just to myself where I felt home"

It has been a week since I came back from my Phu Quoc retreat with Sasha, and I still feel energized, positive, and ready to take on Life. What more can I say. Immersive private yoga, therapy, and mindfulness sessions where you can heal and feel the connection of your mind-body-soul. Besides the everyday sunrise and sunset yoga + meditation, the sound healing, reiki healing, art therapy, and numerology session I got was beyond words. Sasha guides and touches you through all aspects of life and art.

The location and facilities are cozy and beautiful, little touches of warmth here and there, with tremendous up-close views of the sea and sunsets. Imagine practicing yoga and meditation every morning and evening with this view. What’s more, I was surprised to find the food all house-made and so delicious. I ended up trying almost everything on the menu (even the cocktails were all amazing). I would definitely come back with my family.

"Amazing yoga retreat"

I loved the location and facilities. Sasha was an amazing instructor and also a very nice person to be around. Nothing was too much trouble for her. She made every class interesting. She was extremely professional and is very passionate about her job.

"We shall be remembered!! Or the impossible trio! "

The overall experience was a 10/10, we came as 3 middle aged, hetero single men. Each of us, wildly different in our levels of experience and practice, each of us looking for something....unsure of what we would find. In the end the experience of our retreat was that of peaceful brotherly bonds, strengthened by our shared time and practice in such beautiful surroundings. Sasha was the perfect instructor, knowledgeable and well versed in the yoga arts, but also a wonderful person, agreeable and engaging. Very willing to go the extra mile for her patrons. From booking island excursions, and spa treatments, to sharing honest conversation over breakfast coffee about all ranges of health and wellness topics, her level of professional conduct is unmatched.....cheers Sasha! Cassia Cottage is an idyllic resort, with beautiful vistas, gardens on the grounds that provide fresh organic fare to the restaurant, and plenty of space and pools to cool off, or disappear into a book lounging on a day bed. The staff are attentive, but also know that being available does not mean hovering and intrusive...all of them are a credit to what a hotel resort experience should be. In summary the entire experience made the 3 of us genuinely appreciate our time and practice on our short retreat, it was one of the best trips of my life, and what I found was the art of practice is what matters most, in everything! Cassia Cottage practice service. Sasha practices knowledge and teaching...all of which shows.

"Wonderful combination of yoga and relaxation"

The yoga option was the reason for me to choose this hotel – or even come to Phu Quoc. The additional yoga package, that I had, included also 30 min meditation every morning, one 1-hour massage, return airport transportation, one 1-hour private class or sunrise yoga, 1 rehydration drink after every evening yoga and half board. There are yoga classes 6 days a week.

I enjoyed of every yoga class. But the best thing was the early morning meditation on the beach followed by flow yoga. I don’t know a better way to start a day! Sasha was such a nice, smiling and knowledgeable teacher and she was able to encourage people and get them involved. She is well trained and she makes people feel comfortable. There are good yoga facilities: there is pavilion for morning yoga (and if there’s occasional rain during afternoon yoga), there are yoga mats, there is insect repellent and fans to keep you cool. We also had aqua yoga in one of the three pools and it was super relaxing.

"Totally worth it!"

The resort is just amazing, beautiful garden, directly at the nice beach, and very cosy & clean rooms.

The kitchen is soooo good, i wished i could have tried every meal on the menu. The food was just so delicious!

The yoga retreat itself was great. Sasha is an amazing yoga teacher and even for me, as a beginner, she could really inspire me! I would definitely come again!!!

"Einfach traumhaft"

Wir wollten ein bisschen Erholung von unserer Rundreise und haben uns für das Yoga Retreat entschieden. Es hat unsere Erwartungen total übertroffen. Die Hotelanlage, die Zimmer, das Essen und das Personal, einfach spitzenmässig. Die schönste Überraschung war unsere privaten Yogastunden bei Rebecca. Wir hatten mit Rebecca die perfekte Instruktorin und konnten nur profitieren. Es waren die besten Yogalektionen, die wir je hatten, sie ist einfach super und es hat total Spass gemacht die Zeit mit ihr zu verbringen.

"Thank you for brilliant retreat! "

Beautiful place, such friendly staff who are so helpful and thoughtful. Perfect for a bit of luxury after some travelling around Vietnam.

Sacha was excellent and really made the stay there. Learnt a lot about yoga and meditation- and how to look after myself better! Thank you to everyone there, highly recommended.

The restaurant had delicious food and the spa centre had an excellent therapist. I rate my stay there 10 out of 10!! I'll probably come back for another retreat.
