No words can truly describe this beautiful Samma Karuna Breathwork training - because how can you explain magic? All I can say is that if you feel even the slightest calling for this, then please follow your heart and go there.
I have just finished a month long journey with the school and have come away with so much more than a certification in breathwork.

The teachers were all incredible and bought a unique teaching that really helped with my healing and self connection. The property on the water is beautiful. Sunsets were a bonus! I can’t wait to come back and next time as a volunteer/teacher. The breathe work was unlike anything I’ve ever done.

I did the Breathwork Facilitator Training with Samma Karuna in Greece and I loved the entire experience.
It felt like family. They really know how to take care of students. And the location couldn't have been better.

I went to ikaria on the breathworks course feeling quite lost in life generally. I knew I was up for learning a new modality and was excited about that. What I experienced was so much more than learning breathworks. I felt held and supported and loved if I’m honest - by every member of the teaching team and also my fellow peers. I can’t express enough how amazing this month was.

I recently attended the three day breathwork intensive with Zivile. I could not recommend this enough for people who want to dive deep into themselves to unlock our healing potential. Zivile knows exactly what you need, when you need it. I will hopefully be back for the next in the near future. Thanks so much Zivile, your an inspiration 🙏🏽✨❤️

Samma Karuna is a wonderful place where you can experience some of the most interesting and transformational spiritual practices such as breathwork, tantra, inner dance or active meditation. The people at Samma Karuna are very welcoming and warm. It made me feel like part of this community the moment I arrived. The teachers are really thoughtful and knowledgeable so you can always consult them and ask for guidance.

I have visited Samma Karuna many times, both in the old place and the new one and have also done some courses organised in Greece with them. My experience can only be described as one of abundant love, that's why I keep going for more and more. The people that run the place and those courses are heart driven. I did my yoga teacher training course there back in 2015 and have done many more since then with breathwork (1 & 2) last year in Greece and I'm very looking forward to finish breathwork (3) this year in Greece again.

There was very few places I came across that did in person training that offered a package which included training, accommodation and food.
Samma offers all 3 and I decided to fly from Europe.
I completed the training with great insights and a lot of personal healing and growth.
Staff are amazing and my class mates have become my tribe and forever grateful for finding this gem located on the beach.
