Om̐ Sweet Om̐
a guest house and yoga center
Come as you are and treat yourself with a personal retreat in our sweet cocoon.
Our intimate guest house offers 3 types of accommodation:
The “cozy Om̐” bungalow for 1 or 2 guests
The “Zen rooms” bungalow with 1 double and 1 twin room
All guests can also enjoy our lush gardens, the swimming pool, the sweet fragrance of jasmine & ylang-ylang and 2 hours long daily yoga asana, meditation and coaching workshop. The sessions are guided in English and/or French and/or Malagasy according to Guests.
2 and 10 meters away respectively there are 2 restaurants that serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and can also deliver to your terrace or our dinner hut.
Our Philosophy
Our guest house offers daily meditation, yoga and coaching workshop and art therapy session.
It is a (very) small sustainable, social, conscious and ethical tourism entreprise.
Our philosophy encourages local "fair trade" purchases, local labor, local service providers, participatory and inclusive management, and free activities for villagers who cannot afford it.
Apart from the benefit drawn by the community through selling in "fair trade" the goods and services they offer, we wish to create a deep, conscious and respectful cross-cultural connection between the guests and the villagers.
Our Guests
Our Yoga Center is all about spiritual, personal and professional (r)evolution for its guests.
We mainly welcome and target:
1- People who want a short or medium stay to recharge their batteries, discover the island and Yoga in its 8 limbs - therefore not just physical postures or asanas-
If you are in an academic, professional or personal transition and are looking for clarity, if you are worn out by too much work or mental load and are looking for serenity or if you simply want to initiate yourself to yoga, this is for you.
2- People who facilitate wellness, self-care, personal development or spiritual retreats and workshops
If you are a yoga, gigong, dance, plastic arts teacher, coach or alike and you are looking for a place nestled in nature to host an intimate retreat, this is for you.
3- Institutions that want to reinforce team spirit, improve conflict resolution, implement change management or efficiently brainstorm... in-person or online.
If your institution is ready to experiment alternative and effective methods of "conscious & embodied leadership", this is for you.
Our Style
At Om Sweet Om, most of the yoga retreats are one-on-one or in small groups of 2 to 7.
Guests come and leave the day they want.
The yoga workshops are tailor-made according to the level, needs and wishes of guests.
Daily sessions include pranayama -breathing exercise-, asana -postures- and meditation -various techniques from hindu and bouddhist traditions-.
We speak English, French and Malagasy, thus the sessions can be guided in any of these 3 languages.
If you wish, there are many blissful activities, like excursions in the lokobe forest, canoe on the bay, outdoor swimming... which are zen occasions to deepen the practice of home coming to yourself.
The 2 hours of formal yoga workshop each day are just a starter to practice “zen embodiment” all day long.
