I have been to Thailand a few times now and have always wanted to take a yoga class and particularly in the area of fisherman’s village. Let me tell you…it was worth the wait. Era was/is phenomenal! I felt so safe (as I have not practiced in a while), so cared for, and the overall energy was nothing short of amazing. To top it off my family enjoyed the Greenlight Cafe attached to the studio for some fresh food and swimming!! We will definitely be back!!

I have been practicing with Era at her studio in Samui in live lessons and also online and I still do. Over the past 2,5 years I've learned so much about yoga and myself like never before. Era is a wonderful, patient teacher giving away her amazing knowledge about the body, the right alignement, breathing technique, how to evolve in your yoga practice with a kind heart. I can recommend her teaching for everybody, no matter what age, level, size.

I loved my advanced morning practice with Era in her beautiful studio while visiting Koh Samui. Even though I was tight from traveling, her intelligent sequencing allowed me to access all of the poses and leave feeling fully aligned and open. As both a teacher and student, I learned a lot and would recommend this studio and Era to anyone!

I regularly went to the hatha sessions and it was the best yoga classes I've ever been to. The classes were perfectly paced, and Era was very patient and gave tons of personal tips on alignment and for ways to improve in my own time. I've been doing yoga regularly across the world for the last 1.5 years, and learnt lots of completely new things here about different muscle activation through poses. I was able to achieve poses I never thought would be possible for me with my body type, and improved how I feel moving through the world day to day 🙂 thank you and would 100% reccomend to anyone who wants to push their practice to the next level.

Era is the most wonderful and accomodating teacher. She was patient and so knowledgeable. I came to her classes with an injury and within just one class I noticed major improvements. She is kind and the studio space is very large and inviting. Also she’s can move in ways I didn’t think was humanely possible! Highly recommend to anyone considering yoga on Koh Samui or her online classes.

Great intimate yoga space

Managed two morning classes while on holiday in Samui, teacher is amazing, had developed her own style which I loved, classes a bit pricey but I feel they were well worth it, will be back next year

Great teacher, great experience! The classes are small, mats are clean, space is quiet. The instructions were very clear and teacher was very knowledgeable and helpful in getting me in tune with my body and alignment. I’d highly recommend this place!

Era is a fantastic teacher. I was very lucky to find her class on my first journey into yoga. If you are already experienced in yoga you will get a lot out of this also. Era was very good at correcting small issues or bad habits that had developed in experienced people. My strength, flexibility and correct movement improved massively and knowledge of my weakness that need improving was revealed to me. Era is is a lovely person! The cafe next door owned by Era's partner serves fantastic vegan food with a lovely atmosphere! Great experience all round!

I have been doing yoga for years, In different courses and classes. Wondering why balances were a challenge to me. At Shanda yoga today I was met by a very competent and educated yoga teacher who immediately saw, the reasons for my difficulties. She patiently showed me, explained the bag ground, and made my body feel the corrections. I leave my yoga class with new procedures, new knowledge and of cause I had a wonderful training after the flight feeling soft and new again. I can wholeheartedly recommend Shahda yoga studio. And it so easy to book and pay, through the internet. Easy peasy. Try it🙏🏼❤️

After attending only one class in this studio under the guidance of Era, I can honestly say there is no other like it. The energy shared here is felt far beyond the senses and you really walk out feeling a genuine connection. I have now attended multiple classes and have zero hesitation to say that my experience here has me lighter, focused and far more aware of my entire being. Thank you Era for providing an incredibly rare experience in such a wonderful location. I could not ask for more.

Loved my early morning session at Shahda Yoga. The practice was fairly advanced with lots of deep asanas but Era was on hand to guide and offer adjustments, leading to confidence to challenge yourself. Always advising to trust the design of the body. The plant garden outside was also a treat! Highly recommend

Era’s yoga classes were one of the highlights during my holidays in Thailand and my own journey. Her energy and teaching were refreshing and inspiring. Really valuable and worth it, looking forward to joining her online!

Era was very patient and very knowledgeable about the way in which my body operates. She adjusts for all levels, and is supportive throughout the entire practice. I'm looking forward to continuing my journey through online courses. Cheers!

I have done brief periods of yoga in the past but was very much a beginner when I met Era. Thanks to her teaching and encouragement I have learnt so much over the last 4-6 weeks going daily to her classes. She has a depth of understanding both to anatomy and the theory and philosophy of yoga. Whether there is 1 or 10 people in her class, she is able to focus on each student and give you direction about how to progress. I would highly recommend Shahda Yoga Studio for anyone wishing to strengthen their understanding and open their mind to a new (and often challenging!) way of learning. Thanks for everything Era!

We booked a class with Era and really loved it! She was super friendly and I also appreciated how she spent some time at the start to get us to warm up our muscles to avoid injuries. She adjusted the practice to accommodate our levels and enjoyed the experience overall! (Thanks for all the restaurant tips as well!)

I was never a sportive person and never liked to do anything of that kind. My wife took me to Era's class in Samui and Era managed to motivate me so much that I came to her studio to practice every morning during our holiday in Samui. It was very challenging in the beginning but day by day I felt better and could also see the progress. Era is a great teacher and explains everything so well. I will definitely come back the next time to practice again under her guidance.

Really nice classes. Era is caring about students and trying to work with any level, helping to get in asanas and put exactly needed pressure. I was so happy that my yoga recovery after almost year of absence in classes happens he and with her guidance!

wanted to write a quick review after spending two weeks at Shahda Yoga. I was a bit hesitant to book a week long retreat during these COVID transition times, but it was a great choice. So great, I extended for another week. yoga: I didnt know what to expect because the website mentioned using blocks, which I don't usually use in my practice, and it wasn't a classic vinyasa or ashtanga class. Long story short: the classes are amazing. Its hard to describe, its not a typical flow class, its very physically challenging and Era, the teacher, is amazing. She cares about her students so much and tweaks every class to ensure you get the most out of it (the classes are kind of like workshops, especially when you do the full retreat). I greatly improved my technique during my time working with Era, she has this amazing ability to study your anatomy and movements and provide tips and tricks to improve your practice. I have already incorporated alot of these tips and tricks into my routine. This is truly world class instruction. food: super good and healthy. you get to order off the cafe menu, there are tons of options. lodging: nice room, good aircon, good wifi. no complaints. the resort is walking distance to a nice beach, lots of great restaurants, coffee shops.. everything is right there. value: amazing value. As mentioned, this is world class yoga instruction by a teacher who really cares about your development and personalizes your week of classes (12 in all) to help you improve your practice, along with great food and a nice place to stay. can't beat it!

I had 4 yoga classes with Era and they were amazing. She is great guide and absolutely lovely person. She pays a lot of attention to technique and the way she guide you through process is really comfortable. Must visit at Samui.

Era is a wonderful teacher and gave me a new perspective on my practice. I did 5 classes with her and wished I could do more! Highly recommend her classes!

Era is a phenomenal teacher. I’ve practiced yoga at many studios over the years, and Era’s approach and teaching is (by far) the best :) Thank you for a transformative week!

I can't speak highly enough of this yoga studio, I can honestly say that walking in has changed my life. I had never even attempted yoga before but after speaking to Era (who is the owner) I plucked up the courage to give it a go. I was made to feel very welcome and instantly at ease. After almost ninety minutes of complete beginners yoga I walked out feeling calm, relaxed and like I'd had a full body workout. As a result I have been practicing yoga for over two years and feel so much better mentally and physically. If you do get the chance to visit then please give it a go....you won't regret it 🙏🏼

After a few classes with Era, we changed our whole trip planning to stay on for almost 3 weeks. She is that good! I came to her with hip pain and postural problems she helped me understand and correct. My yoga practice is now completely different, deeper, and l learned so much more that I have at any other studio. The best part is that I have begun to heal and correct my body & mind in a very short time. I recommend her for all levels, all ages, but especially if you are a beginner or suffer from movement limitations. I will be coming back soon and will practice virtually with my favorite teacher and all-around beautiful human 💗

Best yoga experience I’ve ever had 🙏🏻 I have booked 10 classes with Era during my stay in Koh Samui and I was genuinely sad when it finished. Era is an amazing teacher - thanks to her deep knowledge, experience, observation and real dedication the classes are very in-depth. She pays close attention to postures, correct technique and breathing (thanks to her I’ve realised that I have been breathing in the wrong way most of the time). It’s been 10 classes but I have gained so much more and was able to make a progress I was really happy with. If you are in Koh Samui and thinking of doing yoga classes look no further. See you online, U 😊

The best yoga on Koh Samui. The era is great. Practice under her guidance provides keys to many body positions, as well as a deeper understanding of how to move in yoga. I'm absolutely delighted. After classes with Era, my practice will not be the same)

Era’s practice is simply the best ever. I have done a lot of yoga in my life but this is so different. Era goes deep and her cues and language are just so right and exact. She is incredibly selfless and shares so much from her wisdom, to her knowledge and her practice as a whole. Each class is so different. I have seen incredible progress in terms of my yoga practice, alignment, and balancing my body. Era utilizes incredible methods to teach YOU how to figure out and then work on your own weaknesses, imbalances and bad habits. A piece of Era and her yoga practice is bound to become a permanent part of yours. Era is the loviest and has the absolute best energy which is everything. I simply could not recommend Era’s practice more. I cannot wait to be back in her beautiful space and studio.

Discovering this studio and being in Era's classes has been a transformative experience for me. The depth of her practice, her meticulous attention to detail, and her distinctive teaching style have really inspired me. Although I only managed to attend two classes, I feel that I have gained a deeper understanding of yoga, and Era has opened up new doors of possibility for my practice. And working on being 'the witness,' shahda :)

I cannot say enough incredible things about Era as both a person and a teacher. I walked in thinking I was just going to move around a little and take a typical class but I ended up leaving feeling more than just a little more flexible: I felt refreshed, renewed, and inspired by Era's energy and words. Her flow sequences are intentionally designed for pure focus, maximum alignment, and integration between all your muscles and the mind. It was an extraordinary experience to be in her presence and I know I will come all the way back to Koh Samui one day to experience it again!

I was looking to start a new way of working out, focusing on my mobility. I found out through a search and reviews to do Yoga. Upon my search I found Shahda with Era as the teacher. I have found the classes not only a perfect way to increase my mobility and get familiar with Yoga but also a very relaxing and mindful experience. I want to thank Era for her input during the classes and how tangible and exact she was able to make the Yoga classes. Furthermore, she was able to adjust the class to improve on personal deficiencies. I look forward to continue classes in the future (but then from a distance). I would definitely recommend Yoga classes from Era if you are seeking an improved physical well-being, mindfulness and personal growth. Thank you for the good time and perfect introduction to Yoga. I wish you all the best!

Really unique class, so knowledgeable and happy to have input on balances etc, enjoyed it so much. Was shocked by the price at the end however - 980baht for a group class, would expect to pay similar for private.

i loved it , it was a great experience for me and my partner, i recommend this place 🔝
