Vagabond Temple

I was looking for a retreat that would go deeper and offer space for reflection, emotional work and healing. I am so so happy that I found this retreat by Kobi and Pazit. I booked it spontaneously and now also decided to stay for another week, so I am spending 80% of my travel time in Sri Lanka at the retreat and I think that says it all.

We ended up with a super cute and dedicated group where everyone shows up super authentic. The retreat it challenging but just the right level. I also love the variety of modalities taught - Kundalini yoga and kundalini meditation, therapeutic yoga, yoga nidra, Iyengar yoga, energy work, shadow work. It is very rich!

I think it was a truly unique experience, Kobi and Pazit are very nice, friendly and compassionate instructors, the other participants were also very friendly, and I really bonded with them through the stay.

Also, there is a lot of different new types of yogas and meditations that I tried that I was not aware of before and that were adapted on the go to my level.

So I got everything I wanted: warm people around me, interesting and appropriately challenging practices, some time to rest and explore the surroundings.

Highly recommended!!

Thank you Kobi and Pazit!

Ich mochte das Gleichgewicht zwischen Yoga, Meditation und Freizeit. Es gibt einen relativ engen „Stundenplan“ aber schon am ersten Tag verfällt man in einen natürlich Rhythmus. Leider bleibt einem nicht besonders viel Zeit für Ausflüge in der Umgebung außer am Wochenende.

I did the 6 days retreat but it wasn’t enough for how much I loved it.Everything is well thought and organized and I’m sure they are always improving that piece of Eden.The place is really beautiful with the nature who welcomes you, hummocks here and there, prana lounge so so nice with sea view and the food always tasty and different meals everyday.A general warmly atmosphere because they really care about what they are doing.The yoga classes were not too easy not too hard, but if you want to practice more there is the yoga hall all for you in your free time.Dancing, meditations, games, conversations to make each of us feel part of a big thing called life.Then if you need to go deeper in your body, mind and soul healing (which is normal when you dedicate all this time to yourself) they offer a lot of sessions and therapies.

Thank you to all Vagabond Temple Team.

I just loved everything. I loved the alll classes, loved the Dharma talks, loved morning circles, loved meditation, loved my room, loved the food, loved the staff. everyday focusing on a different part of your body in yoga-no days were the same in my 6 wks. Treatments available go above&beyond any imagination.

Myann is incredible Who REALLY knows what she is doing. There’s a great balance with your spare time for solitude or socialising. If you want to be alone in silence there are areas which everyone respects With no judgment. Scooter’s are easy to rent if you wanted to take yourself off in spare time at wknds. I knew I loved it So I extended my 5 week booking on week 3 to 6 weeks.

6 weeks for me was perfect! Leaving feeling happy and ready, fit and healthy. And strong .. inside and out! I felt at home and part of the family there, Hours after arriving you get a really happy homely feel. Real Smiles everywhere you look. Real people who are really interested And are there to help you grow. It’s a community. Noday were the same every week working on a new Dharma topic~

Iv Learnt so so much with incredible knowledge from Kobi & Pazit. I feel they have this whole experience down to a fine art.. if your thinking of ‘test booking ’ 1week- book atleast 2 week (EVERYONE EXTENDS-you will extend if you can ☺️) if you have the time book 4-6 weeks! Trust me you won’t regret it ♥️ I will be taking these last 6 weeks with me for life.. forever grateful thank you Vagabond Temple 🙏🏽 Xx

Pazit, Melissa and Kobi were truly amazing. They have so much knowledge and passion. I could learn so much while I was here.

The place is simple but so perfect to relax and just have time for yourself.

Un lieu qui appelle à la serenity et à la reconnections avec soi même... mais aussi à la joie et au partage du yoga...

Une équipe passionnée et sincère, de très belles rencontres.

Des cours de qualités avec des enseignants excellents. Un pur régal, je conseille cette retraite à 200% vous en sortirez changés.

The people and program were great.

La super ouverture, disponibilité et connaissance des enseignents.

Le fait de rencontrer tant de personnes si gentilles les unes envers les autres.

I love everything there... even the challenge was tasty 😋

Ich war hauptsächlich dort um Yoga Stunden zu besuchen, im Wechsel von bis zu fünf Lehrern wurde es nie langweilig und war sehr abwechslungsreich!

Meeting so many new people from all over and getting to know their stories is the bestAll the lessons (Claire, Donna, Mary Sarah and of course Coby and Pazi). Excellent to be able to experience different types of yoga within little time. The morning circle and Dharma talks and the movie night was fun too.

Pazit and Kobi, you are forever in my heart ❤

- teachers

- the food

- the whole atmosphere

This is a truly magical place. It’s not down to one or two things, it’s everything that Vagabond encompasses.

The grounds are beautiful, of course, but it’s the people mainly and the culture that serves everyone.

Kobi & Pazit, Maayan, the teachers and volunteers enabled me, for the first time in my life to feel unjudged, to be free, to be silly, to dance like nobody is watching, to sing like nobody can hear. I became who I always was but have never acknowledged before.

The food also is outstanding! I’m vegan anyway so when I realised that it was fully vegan there I was so excited. The sheer joy of having 3 delicious, nutritious meals served to me every day was incredible!

This was my first, but not my last visit.

Each yoga lesson, meditation, movement class, morning circle and Dharma talk was so very precious.

Thank you Vagabond team, for everything!

Tolle Atmosphäre, super Programm und leckeres veganes Essen.

Das ganze Programm, welches hier geboten wird.

Vagabond Temple war ganz genau, was ich mir gewünscht habe. Erfahrene, warmherzige und inspirierende Yogalehrer, ein offenherziges Miteinander und ein traumhafter Platz. Vagabond Temple ist ein kleines Paradies.

Das Programm, der Spirit und die Community waren unschlagbar. Das Essen fein, gut bis sehr gut, oft etwas salzig (was aber angesichts der Hitze auch gut ist). Aber absolut kein Service bei dein einfachen dafür relativ teuren Einzelbungalows ist enttäuschend.

In lived the community and the staff members are all amazing. What ever your reason for a retreat vagabond temple is great. You will want to stay longer and never leave!!

I loved meeting people from all over the world. I enjoyed the meditation and learning different forms of yoga that I had never tried. I enjoyed the energy and positive vibes that were released from the leaders and participants. I liked the routines and singing the mantras. It was a totally relaxing experience. The music was amazing and the dancing sessions were awesome. I enjoyed eating the vegan food, even though I adore meat, and not drinking alcohol was not as difficult as I thought! My body felt great and I lost a few kg. I've started drinking ginger and lemongrass tea because of the retreat. I've picked up some great recipes and good habits.
