It was a very wholesome experience, something I have been wanting to do for some time and I couldn’t have asked for a better place or a better trainer than Era. She opened my eyes and showed me how to create space between my thoughts and myself through meditation. During the yoga part of the session, it was as personalised as it could have been. She paid attention to my strengths and weaknesses and curated the session accordingly. She told me how to get better. Overall, it was an experience i would want to do on a regular basis here, but unfortunately I’m leaving the island. The place, the resort were 10/10 and Era was an amazing trainer. The tasty smoothie bowl was just the icing on the cake that I needed. Shoutout to Patrick for keeping me company and for the eye opening conversations. I’d love to be back.

It was a really memorable experience Era totally made the practice tailored for us at our differing experience levels which was really appreciated. Highly recommend!

Amazing class, Era was a very patient and knowledgeable teacher! This was my first ever yoga class and I can’t recommend it highly enough! Green light cafe next door also serves excellent food and has an extensive drinks menu!

I took two classes with Era during my visit to Samui. She is mindful and professional, and quickly tailors the practice to the student. As a consistent practitioner and instructor I have been to innumerous yoga classes: there's something to learn from every teacher, but from Era I learned a lot. Beautiful experience!.

I’m 54 years old, and I’ve been wanting to do a yoga retreat for years. I’ve been practicing yoga on and off for about the last 10 years, and wanted to expand my knowledge and get a deeper understanding of my practice, and myself. My concerns have always been not knowing what type of yoga practice I was signing up for and who I would be sharing my practice with. I didn’t want a full on mind blowing, life changing retreat. I’m quite happy with my life, but I wanted a chance to reflect , broaden my knowledge and enjoy my environment. I knew I wanted to look at retreats in Thailand, and Koh Samui sounded a great place for me, stunning areas, loads of restaurants and not a full on party island. This is when Shahada Yoga, and Era started to pop up in my searches. I looked at Era’s website and read every review I could fine, my only slight concern was the cost, as she seemed a little more expensive than other yoga studios. I now totally understand why. Her classes are small, she really looks at you in your practice and helps you work on any physical restrictions you may have. This lady invests in you, and does everything she can to help you on your yoga and meditation journey. I’ve never meditated before, so when Era suggested me joining her each morning for sunrise meditation, on a paddle board , I thought why not! I’ve been home a week, and I’m now continuing this practice daily ( minus the paddle board). She also suggested reading material and leant me the most enlightening book I’ve ever read….Ive now got my own copy, which I refer to daily. Era’s yoga is different, she has come at it through her own need to understand more about the anatomical side of practice. She also through prompts helps you understand your self a little more. I came looking for a yoga class, and I left having made new friends and someone who took the time to understand me. This also hasn’t been an isolated experience, as I can now enjoy Era’s classes in my own home, where she still takes as much time to look at your individual practice and supports you ongoing. Era once said to me “ people who need to find me, find me” well I couldn’t put it any better myself. If you are considering this adventure, take the leap, you won’t regret it.

Amazing yoga sashion. It helped me a lot from my sore Muscles. Era is a very good teacher and is patient in explaning all the movements Thank you

Era welcomes you in an ultra natural and friendly way. She brings you gently in her world, explaining the bases of the process that you are going to start: from an initial meditation to an effective session of yoga. She asks you your impressions and feelings: all is natural, and the most surprising discovery that you can achieve during the time with Era it is the existence of a “door” that is inside everyone of us and we prob don’t even know how to open. Thank you Era for this experience. At last: your smoothies and bowl are fantastic.

We really enjoyed our 5 classes with Era at Shahda yoga. I personally was just getting back to yoga after a surgery and she was so knowledgeable and made training for me safe to get back into. If you want to work with a great teacher who’s also quite down to earth, I would highly recommend Era at Shahda Yoga.

As a yoga beginner I was a little apprehensive, but right from the start of our guided meditation and into the yoga practice itself, Era clearly, effectively, and kindly conveyed foundational elements of what seemed to me to be some quite advanced asanas. Her deep well of knowledge - of asanas, of the human body, of the spiritual - all come through in her practice and teaching and even as a beginner, I felt I was in good hands. Era is an amazing yoga professional for all levels - highly recommended!!

Although I have practiced yoga in several places, Era's yoga class was one of the most diverse sessions I have attended so far. She is an amazing teacher and made me feel welcome right away. Her class was physically challenging, varied and relaxing at the same time. She also always offered different variations of each exercise so that everyone could individualize the difficulty of their workout. Had I not left early, I would have booked more classes with Era. I can recommend Shahda Yoga to everyone who wants to escape their everyday life on Samui and seek physical well-being, peace and relaxation with professionally taught yoga. Thank you for this wonderful experience. Era!

Morning yoga with Era was a highlight of my time on Koh Samui. Era is a professional and skilled teacher with a warm personality. I highly recommend her classes

Great experience. Very professional. First time at this class but was made to feel welcome. Era is very accommodating to all levels and made you feel at ease.

My partner and I attended three mornings of Era’s classes whilst we stayed in Koh Samui over Christmas. Era was amazing at personalising our sessions and stretching us and guiding us to evolve our practice! We would love to transport her to Singapore for daily classes! Honestly thank you Era we loved meeting you and we will be back soon and wished we’d found you earlier in our trip 💜

Strongly recommended! this rejuvenating retreat experience gave me just what I needed. What a relaxing and healthy environment! from the lovely room, to the Yoga studio and the Yummy and nutritious food at the greenlight café, I regain my strength and clam. special thank you goes to ERA, such an attentive Yoga teacher, and so inspiring, in her words, guidance, openness and by being genuine. As the days in the retreat continued, I felt stronger and inner focused. Great Values for money! if this is the focus and energy you are looking for, don't hesitate.

Such an incredible experience - Era is so wise and wonderful. She really really knows yoga, and wellness and spirituality so well. Really recommend !!! Beautiful place as well with an attached cafe which was lovely
