A PLACE TO TRANSFORM
The Sanctuary Thailand
Your home during this transformative journey is The Sanctuary — a world-famous healing paradise hidden in a private bay at the south of Koh Phangan island.
No cars, no motorbikes in this bay. You arrive by boat and step into pure magic.
Between jungle and sea, barefoot living becomes the natural state. You wake up to the ocean. Practice with the sound of waves. Rest under the palms. Heal in the heart of nature.
A place where time slows down… where you remember yourself. ✨
THE YOGA SHALA - PRANA HALL
A pyramid-shaped, open-air wooden temple built on sacred geometry to enhance focus and energy flow. Wrapped in mosquito netting for protection yet open to the ocean breeze and birdsong, it feels like practicing inside a living mandala. The hall comfortably fits 25+ mats and was designed for deep presence and connection.
YOUR ACCOMMODATION
Choose from cozy shared rooms in our Garden Houses or private bungalows nestled in the jungle. Every space is designed for rest, reflection, and deep presence during your transformational journey.
The Sanctuary has a beautiful beachfront restaurant where we share nourishing meals with a global community.
People gather from the neighboring bays for evenings filled with good food, laughter, and island magic.
Expect to meet friendly geckos and sometimes monkeys — we are guests in their jungle home.
This is barefoot simplicity, the luxury of Nature, and the feeling of being truly alive. 🌿✨

ABOUT YOUR LEAD TRAINER
Marta Metrass
Founder of Yoga of Emotions®
Welcome to the 21-Day Transformational Teacher Training 2026, in Thailand.
I'm the founder and creator of Yoga of Emotions®, a transformational method born from my lifelong love for movement, emotion, and the intelligence of the body.
My journey began with a degree in Dance, where I discovered that movement is our first language — the body's way of remembering what the mind forgets. Over time, Yoga became the bridge between movement and meaning, body and spirit, emotion and expression.
For more than twelve years, I've been sharing this work around the world — guiding retreats, workshops, and teacher trainings in Europe, Bali, and Thailand. Each circle, each land, and each student has taught me something about presence, truth, and the art of holding sacred space.
"My teachings weave together Hatha, Vinyasa, Trauma informed Yin, Bhakti Yoga, and Dance Therapy, along with somatic and feminine embodiment coaching."
Ceremony is at the heart of all I do. I hold cacao, water, and fire ceremonies, believing that ritual reconnects us to the sacredness of everyday life. The voice and harmonium are an integral part of my work, guiding the energy of the room, supporting emotional flow, and creating a container where the heart can open and the body can remember its own wisdom.
I'm an E-RYT 500 and YACEP certified teacher with Yoga Alliance, yet the wisdom that shapes my work has always come from the living temple of the body — from listening, feeling, and being moved by life itself.
Through Yoga of Emotions®, I invite you to move beyond shapes and sequences — into the landscapes of feeling, truth, and embodiment. This work is not about perfection; it's about presence. It's a remembering of the beauty, depth, and wholeness that already lives within you.
