Orion Healing

Orion, Great Place for Detox, Yoga and also Great Food & Team!

Congratulations!

My friends and I enjoyed a two week vacation at Orion healing center and really enjoyed the lovely service and hospitality from the staff. The food from the cafe was amazing, every meal was excellent and the vibes there were extraordinary. Very relaxing place and really recommend coming here if you want to have a relaxing and enjoyable vacation.

Amazing experience doing my 200YTT at Orion Healing. Everyone was lovely and made my stay special and something I will remember forever.

An amazing team, that really cares about personalizing experiences for each guest, and supporting you on your wellness journey.

Yoga is okay, not too special. Other events like kirtan are special and great.
Accommodation quite basic and unreasonably expensive, beach nice to look at but not for swimming.
Food is okay.

Orion healing Center is a wonderful spacenesr to the sea to relax and get more healthy. There are many treatments offered that have a special healing effect.

At Orion Healing, I attended the 50 Hour Advanced Asana Yoga Teacher Training in February 2023 with Antonio Loddo.

I was fortunate to meet Antonio at one of the classes at Orion Healing in Koh Phangan about a month ago.

Being completely new to yoga and only attending a few group classes beforehand, I was looking for someone to teach me the correct fundamental techniques and executions of Asana poses.

But after working with him for a month, I feel like I got much more than that. I feel like I learned more about yoga and myself in a short period of time than I would just by attending group classes / doing online yoga for years.

I have worked with many teachers and mentors across different parts of my life, but Antonio stands out as one of the best teachers I ever had the fortune to work with.

What makes him so special is his knowledge, commitment to help you learn and succeed, and genuine care for his students. I always felt safe when working with him, even if I have never done a challenging yoga posture before. I love how he always breaks down the Asanas into "baby steps" so you can progress at your own pace, but also pushes you just the right amount to show you that you can do much more than you are capable of.

I have heard that many yoga teachers don't recommend Ashtanga Yoga and advanced Asanas to beginners, but my experience - when taught right - was quite the contrary. Learning how to practice properly has not only made me a lot stronger and more flexible, but also helped me calm my mind outside of the daily yoga sessions and grow as a person. Now I can finally feel like decades of tightness in my shoulders, knees and hips are finally melting away. My knees that were chronically injured don't hurt any more, and the nagging shoulder pain I used to have went away as well. It feels like after just one month, I am a much lighter and more relaxed person - both mentally and physically.

With Antonio, I did:

-The weekly group Ashtanga Yoga classes that were guided at a perfect face, with amazing explanations and a great vibe

-The Intermediate Vinyasa classes, which were also perfectly modified to different levels to provide just the right amount of challenge, with great demonstrations, cues and support

-The 50-hour Advanced Asana Yoga Teacher Training, which was one of the best experiences of my life. Even though I was a beginner, I feel like I acquired and understood many movements that I would never think were possible for me. The way he held the space for our group throughout the intense week, dedicated his personal attention to us, answered all of our questions and stayed with us patiently as long as we needed to truly get and understand different Asanas was really great. He really went above and beyond to also get to know his students, modified the practice to our personalities and capabilities, and made sure that we got new knowledge that would stay with us for years.

As I worked together with Antonio, we worked on everything from fundamentals to my personal weaknesses and goals, which always have just the right amount of challenge, and focused, kind and thorough explanations of everything I ever wanted or needed to learn. He's always patient, helps you get over your fears and helps you get better in a safe and positive environment that gives you the desire to learn and practice more and more.

I could go on and on, but I'll just say that finding Antonio was one of the things I'm most grateful for in life. But don't take my word for it - if you can, join one of Antonio's classes and see for yourself if his approach works for you.

We came to the soundhealing meditation during the online schedule. And in fact there was a different master class and no one from staff knew anything about sound healing. Nobody from staff could help us. In fact we couldn’t find it and when home dissapointed.

I expected better quality instructors and facilitators because of its reputation, and have been let down on a few occasions without any accountability from staff. Maybe my expectations are too high? Always great food though.

Highly recommend authentic relating + circling with Oren here. I think he’s one of the kindest and wisest teachers at this place. He has an embodied wisdom that is easy to learn from and that he’s constantly practicing

I've just had such a truly life changing experience on the 28 day Renew & Revitalise Detox program. And Orion was so much more than I could have expected. The people who work there are so professional, talented and lovely. I felt there was a real family vibe in the team there. I felt so well cared for in every interaction I had with the teams.in reception, in the cafe, with house keeping, with the grounds people, in yoga & meditation, and so well supported by the amazing wellness team (especially in the most challenging parts of the detox). The mangers and owners are also so lovely and approachable. The rooms are really comfortable, the yoga & meditation is awesome.and the food is SOOOOOOO delicious and creative! Even though I have finished my program I am still back visiting Orion most days whilst I remain on the Island. I would love to send all my friends and family to Orion too! I can't wait for my next program there!

Orion's is one of my happiest places on this planet! Not only does the team create an exceptionally beautiful and tranquil environment but there are also remarkably qualified yoga teachers, lots of inspiring workshops and events to choose from every day, and the most yummy vegan food of the island. While I was there in January 2023, I already reserved my spot for 2024 - just to make sure it won't be sold out until then ;-)

An extraordinary experience at this center
We were in a sunset yoga class and it was excellent, the staff is professional and kind.
The food and drinks in the restaurant are delicious
Highly recommend going there

The location is stunning. I only went for a workshop there and stayed for a drink in their beach cafe. One of my favourite locations on the island for yoga, their cafe is also a great spot for a bit of work or relaxing. So cosy and chilled.

I’ve just completed a 28 day detox programme with Orion and had the best time ever. I arrived somewhat fed up with myself; over eating and generally just a little lost with my well-being. The team at Orion; and that’s everyone from the nutritional team, to the yoga teachers; massage ladies; kitchen staff, receptionists and any others I may not even know about were simply wonderful and really helped to move me on my way and learn to look after myself with a little bit more love and care. Thanks everyone for a great time.

I did a Detox program with Helena & Yin Yoga Teacher Training with Sarah.
Both of them are very professional & caring. I also had the opportunity to follow some yoga class with Warren, Ben And I really enjoy it.
Highly recommended

Hippie quality venue (quite run down), western-high prices. Don’t worry, you too can be “cool” if you eat here. Took 30 minutes of waiting for them to tell us they were out of what we ordered.

I have done Yin Teacher Training with wonderful Sarah, Reiki I & II with inspiring Daliah and vegan cooking class with creative Cooper. I loved every course and took important lessons with me and will incorporate them into my everyday life. Thanks to Sarah, Daliah and Cooper!

I loved my time at Orion. I did the 16 day package but many people stay for different lengths of time. There were lots of yoga and workshop options, access to a large range of incredible practitioners and amazing vegan food prepared by the kitchen - it is enough to make you reconsider your meat eating ways. The staff in the office are all really lovely and very accommodating. Highly recommend it - planning my next visit!

I did a wonderful vegan cooking class with Cooper. He was very accommodating and customised the menu our needs. We were able to learn lots and taste even more! Best part is that we got the recipes in the end. Thank you Cooper!
