What make us special
What make us special
We are not just a place to take classes — we are a long-established school of self-realization, offering a structured, year-round program refined through more than a decade of daily practice. We don’t offer isolated workshops or short-term experiences. Instead, we provide a clear developmental path that allows you to grow steadily, return again and again, and deepen your practice over time. Our focus goes beyond temporary breakthroughs. We support real integration, so transformation becomes part of daily life rather than something that fades after a retreat. As a school, all our teachers are trained within the same system and standards, ensuring a consistent and grounded learning experience across all classes. And because we are built around community, growth happens in a supportive, human environment — a place many students return to again and again.

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 came here for a volunteer experience and I ended up finding a community of people just like me.
There is something magical about Samma Karuna. The people, the workshops, the classes, the food and the location.
I have attended many classes from breathwork, to yoga, to inner dance which have all been an integral part of my healing journey.

I am not experienced with breath work and the class itself was great and very beginner friendly. I would absolutely recommend the class for anybody who is interested in learning more about breath work. Aravind is a great facilitator and clearly has a lot of knowledge on this topic!

I stayed in Samma for two weeks with the Awakening and Healing program and I had a wonderful time there. I liked the different classes, such as Tetra Breath, Biodevelopement classes, meditation etc. Also the yoga classes are amazing. Even after the two weeks I stayed longer and did one intensive breathwork over 3 days and the BioDev TTC. Thank you for everything Samma, I’m hoping to come back and enjoy more of this amazing place ❤️
