Yoga Black Cat & White Cat
Gong sound baths are the draw here, and if you only do one thing at this Lamai studio, make it that. Olga runs them, and the pattern in what people write afterwards is consistent: grounded, calm, a bit undone in the best way. Michael teaches too, and some people arrange longer stretches of practice with him rather than dropping in once. Workshops rotate through as well, run by visiting teachers as much as resident ones, so what's on this week may not be on next.
The space is small and simple rather than polished, and that's the point. Beginners aren't out of place. If you want a big timetable, mirrors and a smoothie bar, this isn't that, and you'd be happier at one of the bigger retreat centres up north. What you get instead is a room where people actually talk to each other afterwards.

Reviews from Google
During a visit to Koh Samui in December, I had the pleasure of attending several workshops at **Black Cat White Cat Yoga in Lamai**, and it became one of the highlights of my time on the island. The studio has a beautiful, calm atmosphere that immediately helps you slow down and settle in. It feels more like a peaceful sanctuary than a typical yoga studio. The space is thoughtfully created, simple and grounding, allowing you to disconnect from the busy energy of the island and reconnect with yourself. What makes the experience truly special is **Olya**, the founder and teacher. She brings a rare sense of serenity and true beauty to the room. Her presence is calm, attentive and quietly inspiring. She carries a natural beauty and grace that reflects the same balance and mindfulness she teaches. Her guidance throughout the workshops felt gentle, thoughtful and inclusive, making everyone feel welcome regardless of experience. The workshops themselves go beyond a standard yoga class. They blend movement, breath and moments of reflection in a way that feels both grounding and meaningful. The small group setting also creates a warm sense of connection between participants. Among the many wellness offerings on Koh Samui, please let yourself experience **Black Cat White Cat Yoga . I highly recommend visiting if you are looking for a thoughtful and inspiring yoga experience on the island. Jason D - Australia
From the moment I walked into this cozy yoga studio the atmosphere was peaceful, welcoming, and full of positive energy. Olga was the teacher for a beautiful gong bath class which left me grounded and energised and it was such a stress relieving experience. I am a yoga teacher myself and after my visit I actually joined Olga and her yoga teacher team and I teach my own mobility flow class in the very same studio hoping that my customers leave with the same positive experience as I did not too long ago. I highly recommend any of the classes, not just mine 😉 🫶
Such a beautiful place to practice, share and connect with the community! Olga you're an amazing person to help everyone and make magic happen in your "Gong Sound Bath" journey. Thanks for the opportunity to allow me to share my "HANDSTAND WORKSHOP" at your studio. I appreciate you for helping me out! Keep sharing your magic and gifts with full power. Much love and blessings 🙏🤗

Tips for Visiting Wellness & Spas
Learn Wat Pho First
Wat Pho in Bangkok is the birthplace of traditional Thai massage education. Their on-site massage pavilion offers excellent treatments from students and graduates at reasonable prices — and you know the technique is authentic.
Communicate Pressure Preferences
Thai massage can be intense. Say 'bao bao' for lighter pressure or 'nак nак' for harder. A good therapist will check in, but don't hesitate to speak up — suffering in silence defeats the purpose.
Book Longer Sessions
A 60-minute massage is fine, but 90 or 120 minutes allows the therapist to work thoroughly. The price difference is often only 200–400 THB for an extra hour — worth it for a deeper, more relaxing experience.
