Her knowledge and philosophy shape every aspect of Shivari — from nutrition and detox programs to movement, rituals, and community values.

Our Philosophy

Shivari is more than a holistic retreat center in Koh Phangan, Thailand — it is a way of living. Located in the serene heart of the jungle, Shivari was founded as a sacred sanctuary for those seeking deep connection, mindful living, and authentic transformation. Our center is built on the belief that true wellness is an art form—one that balances the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of our being.

Our Space

Nestled between the river and the waterfall, our center provides the perfect environment for a digital and urban detox. From our Jungle Bungalows—designed to blend indoor comfort with the raw beauty of nature—to our dedicated Yoga Shala, every corner of Shivari is crafted for serenity. Whether you are resting in a hammock in our Art Room or relaxing in the Shivari Sauna, you are always just a minute away from the healing power of nature.
