“Words cannot describe the beauty and the depth of the samayoga journey. Pure, authentic, generous and loving transmission. Infinite gratitude”.
“I had one of the best week’s of my life at Shambala. I loved every moment of Sky & Sanna’s retreat. It was beyond wonderful. Their teachings are amazing and two of the most beautiful people I have ever met. Our group was so lovely, everyone made me very welcome in Sweden and we had lots of laughs together along with lots of fun with me trying to embrace some Swedish culture of sauna and dips in the lake!”
“I am truly hooked on Sky. Not for his unique and very balanced yoga. Not for his way to get a group of people that don´t know each other to show so much love and compassion. Not for his wisdom, not for his playful and funny way of expressing things and not for getting people to find the best in them selves. I am hooked on him because he knows how to do it all.”
“Sama yoga helped me to find my way to become who I am Today.. it is to come home.. accept myself as I am and so much more… so grateful to be a part of a Sama yoga family”.
THE FOOD
Inspired by the Indian Ayurvedic health tradition, our kitchen serves delicious and nutritious food that is vegan, gluten-free, and made primarily with organic ingredients. Meals are often enjoyed on the sunny deck overlooking the lake. We are happy to accommodate dietary allergies—please inform us when making your booking. Non-alcoholic beverages accompany each meal.
“I’ve had the good fortune to experience Shambala many times as I shared Bhakti.
The moment I would arrive I felt the vibrant nature greeting me, supporting us in a sacred embrace to dive deep into our hearts.
Such a magical place.
And the staff in beautiful alignment with what the land offers.
A place for healing, reconnection, inspiration, Love.”
“I Love this place, I have returned here many times each summer for 10 years. They have a way of making everyone feel at home and welcomed. Here I can sink into a healthy, balanced and fun daily routine. And for me it’s important to have the balance between seeing all of the inspiring people here, but also having alone time and quietude, which I find in the forest, lake, sauna, tipi, in the silent mornings, in my room or in a yoga class. I feel recharged and happy when I’m here and I’m so glad these kind of retreat centres exist!”
“Amazing experience!! Beautiful nature around Shambala. Yoga there was outstanding!! Vegan Food incredible tasty!! Great and friendly community of people. If you suffer from stress, this is ideal place to be!”

TEACHER’S BIO
Sky Deva
Sky is dedicated to living a life of yoga, and since 1991 he has studied and taught several styles of yoga, always coming back to the simple and deep principles in the tradition of Hatha Yoga. Gracefully incorporating wisdom from Qi Gong, Ayurveda and Bhagavad Gita (yoga shastra) into his classes gives his delivery a certain integrity and well-rounded approach.
Sky has studied Vedanta since 2001 with Swami Vagishananda, Radha and Swami Dayananda, giving a good grounding in the purpose and practices of Yoga as a way of achieving balance, harmony and total fulfillment in this life.
His classes are always spontaneous and deeply honouring of his students. As he says, “I’m like the milkman, I just deliver the milk, fulfilling the sacred and even unspoken orders of the students.” Taught with relaxed passion, humor and clear understanding of the poses and their benefits, one finds his unique classes inspiring and rewarding.
