The Yoga Palace

Welcome to The Yoga Palace: A new Yoga retreat in Kampot, Cambodia

Transformative Practices

Whether you are a complete beginner, a seasoned yogi, or somewhere in between, we can help improve your practice through our tailored approach to yoga teaching.

One of our teachers, Noah, is also trained in Structural Integration, allowing him to quickly identify areas needing improvement and help you adjust your practice accordingly.

We understand that yoga is much more than just a physical practice, so we offer workshops and evening meditation sessions where we can explore the healing power of yoga both on and off the mat. We also offer fun sessions such as learning Khmer or trying out special breathing exercises.

Flexible Options

The program runs from Monday – Saturday, with Sundays available for relaxing or exploring the local area.

3, 5, 7, or custom length retreats available

New Year’s Offer

To celebrate our launch, we are offering a 50% discount for all retreats for the month of January (Food, classes and accommodation included). 

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—which is how yoga should be.

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.

Delicious & Nutritious Food

Our chef, 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.

Conditioning

Improve your Yoga practice, or develop one if you are new. Our teachers are experts in a variety of styles. A solid Yoga practice will 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. It is 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. We aim to facilitate the process of connecting with something greater than yourself, whatever you choose to call it.

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.

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

Start your day flowing with the sun, just as yogis have done for centuries. Unique in Cambodia, our rooftop studio offers an unparalleled connection to this ancient tradition, with nature providing the backdrop. As you move through your poses, watch the sky transform into a canvas of yellows, pinks, and oranges. 

Morning sessions sync naturally with your body’s awakening rhythm – gentle movements building energy as as the sun rises. Evening classes begin with a dynamic practice, which cools down into a more gentle style as the sun dips below the horizon. 

We work with the subtle warmth of dawn and dusk, allowing you to absorb the sun’s natural benefits without overwhelming heat. It’s the perfect balance of light, energy, and vitamin D to enhance your practice.

Local Facilities

Our next-door neighbor, The Village Inn, has a pool that you can access provided you buy food or drinks from their restaurant. 

Another resort, only minutes away, offers two swimming pools, a jacuzzi and a sauna.

There is also a minimarket in walking distance where you can stock up on any essentials you need. 

Flexible Options

The program runs from Monday – Saturday, with Sundays available for relaxing or exploring the local area.

The center is owned by a Khmer family, and the money generated is put back into the Cambodian economy.

We are a small retreat, and we try as much as possible to tailor the practice to each individual, regardless of experience-level. Our daily schedule provides a core yoga and wellness foundation with the flexibility for you to build your own experience, whether that be additional practice, body work, regional adventures, or simply time to relax. 

We understand that there are various perspectives on Yoga. Some focus on the ancient spiritual aspect, some are more concerned with the mental and physical benefits, and some people are new to the practice and curious about it. We aim to cater to everyone by focusing on the essence of Yoga: learning to calm the mind and heal the body.

The Yoga Palace Philosophy

Our mission is to make the healing power of Yoga accessible to everyone, regardless of their beliefs or level of experience. 

As a locally owned retreat, The Yoga Palace is committed to Cambodia’s post-pandemic recovery of the tourism sector. Founded by a native Kampot resident, we prioritize local employment, and revenues benefit the local economy.

Our impact extends beyond economic support. We offer donation-based classes for people in the local area, introducing them to mindfulness and personal growth. By choosing The Yoga Palace, guests become part of a larger mission: supporting community resilience and sustainable tourism in this vibrant region.
