Quiet Your Mind
Surrounded By Nature
We are the only retreat in Cambodia that offers a shaded rooftop yoga space, allowing you to practice while surrounded by nature. You can enjoy evening classes as the sun sets over Bokor Mountain. In the morning, practice begins with the gentle morning sun and finishes before the heat sets in. You will feel connected to nature as you practice Yoga the way it was traditionally intended.
“Practicing yoga while watching the sun paint the sky was nothing short of magical.”, Romina (Argentina)
Forge meaningful connections
A retreat at the Yoga Palace will make you feel like part of a family. The space and practices gently encourage you to get to know the other guests and the Khmer family who owns the property. The staff will make you feel at home as soon as you arrive and we will do our best to accommodate any special requirements you have.
“I am deeply grateful for this experience and the warm-hearted people I met during my stay. I’m leaving with so much inspiration for my daily life and look forward to continuing my yoga journey.”, Kira (Germany)
Accommodation with modern comforts with a traditional Khmer touch
We are called the Yoga Palace for a reason. Each room has a bed fit for a king, made from traditional rosewood, with a brand-new mattress. All rooms have en-suite bathrooms. Wake up to mountain views and enjoy sitting on the wide terrace before starting your morning practice.
“The rooms are very nice, new and clean, and waking up and doing yoga with that view is the best start of the day. It’s a palace alright.”, Daphne (Netherlands)
Delicious & Nutritious Food
Our chef & owner of the property, Sina, has over 10 years of experience cooking delicious and nutritious food for yoga practitioners. Her passion for cooking shines through in every meal she prepares, starting each day at the local market to select the freshest ingredients. She uses locally sourced fruits and vegetables to create varied menus that provide the nutrients you need to support your yoga practice. Whether you’re vegetarian, vegan, or neither, you’ll find nourishing options that energize and satisfy.
“Sina who owns the building and lives their with her family is an amazing cook. The 3 meals a day all felt incredibly good for you. Clean, delicous and filling everytime, this alone made us feel great each day with the yoga as a bonus!”, Danny (UK)
Conditioning
Improve your Yoga practice, or develop one if you are new. Our teachers are experts in a variety of styles designed to improve your strength, flexibility, and general wellbeing.
Clarity
We provide a tranquil space where you can unplug from the modern world. We encourage quiet reflection, journaling and simply enjoying the view: the perfect place to clear your mind.
Community
We have created a place that provides ideal conditions for strangers to become friends, with shared meals and activities. We all have something to learn from one another.
Connection
An aligned body, calm mind, and supportive community can give us a deeper perspective. Here you can connect with something greater than yourself, whatever you choose to call it.
The Freedom To Relax & Explore
Our daily program provides a transformative experience while still offering plenty of breathing space. Every day after lunch, you have several hours to yourself where you can relax, journal, explore the local area, or visit some of the beautiful nearby attractions (which we can arrange for you). Whether you want to go kayaking on the river or sip a mango shake by the pool at a local hotel, there is plenty of time.
Follow The Sun
Our rooftop Yoga shala provides a stunning view of Bokor mountain and the surrounding countryside. Our sunset Yoga classes provide the perfect backdrop for your practice: you move through your poses, watch the sky transform into a canvas of yellows, pinks, and oranges.
“The rooftop yoga space was a highlight, with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and jungle. That and the sound of birds all around created the most peaceful and grounding atmosphere. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to deepen their practice, reset, or simply connect with a supportive community in a beautiful setting.” Julia (Canada)

As a small retreat, we provide individualized attention to each guest, adapting our instruction to accommodate all skill levels. You will recieve a free structual integration session (which will help us to make sure you get the most out of our retreat, see below for more details). Our program combines structured yoga and wellness activities with free time, allowing you to customize your stay with extra practice sessions, therapeutic treatments, local excursions, or quiet moments of reflection.
We recognize the diverse approaches to yoga practice—from its ancient spiritual heritage to its modern wellness applications—and welcome practitioners at every stage of their journey. Our teaching emphasizes the core principles: mental clarity and physical well-being.
While yoga requires dedication, we believe in creating a relaxed atmosphere. Our retreat maintains a balance between focused practice and casual comfort, fostering an environment where learning happens naturally and laughter is welcome. This approach helps participants fully embrace the restorative benefits of yoga and meditation while feeling completely at ease.
Structural Integration (also known as Rolfing) is a form of hands-on bodywork that systematically addresses the body’s connective tissue, or fascia. This specialized therapy aims to improve posture, flexibility, and movement patterns by releasing longstanding tension and restrictions in the body’s soft tissues.
During a session, our practitioner uses precise manual techniques to work with your body’s fascia—the web-like tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and organs. Think of it as reorganizing the body’s internal structure to restore natural alignment and freedom of movement.
For our yoga students, Structural Integration offers unique benefits:
- It helps us identify your body’s specific movement patterns and restrictions
- This information allows us to tailor your yoga practice more effectively
- The therapy itself can help release chronic tension that might be limiting your yoga practice
- Many students find they can access poses more easily after sessions
- The work provides insights into your body’s natural strengths and areas that need extra attention
The combination of Structural Integration with yoga practice creates a comprehensive approach to improving body awareness, movement, and overall physical well-being. Our teachers use these insights to customize your yoga instruction, ensuring you get the most benefit from your time with us.
We offer all guests a free Structual Integration session, which helps us to figure out what practices will be most beneficial for you. Our main Yoga teacher also integrates ideas from this powerful practice into his Hatha Yoga classes.
