As of September 2026, seven spaces around Chiang Mai hold the Henosis mark. Four are places to stay and practise: Insda Wellness Resort, Mala Dhara Eco Resort, Om Waters and Suan Sati. One is a school: Mahasiddha Yoga. Two are day sanctuaries built around heat, steam and cold: The Cocoon and The Elements. Each was assessed by a human being.
How this list was made
Every space here holds the Henosis mark, awarded through a human assessment against the Henosis Standard. The list is alphabetical. No space paid to appear on it, and no placement is for sale. Updated September 2026.
Henosis is a global network of practitioners and spaces that remember our eternal nature, each assessed by a human being against the Henosis Standard. The mark is earned, never bought.
The descriptions below are facts from each space's own website and its Henosis listing, both linked in every entry. They are not assessment findings. For what the mark means, read what "certified by Henosis" means.
Insda Wellness Resort
Insda Wellness Resort sits in the green hills of Ban Pong, Hang Dong District, Chiang Mai, and is managed by Chiang Mai Wellbeing Social Enterprise.
Its wellness programme centres on rest. A structured morning practice combines Surya Namaskar, pranayama and reflection, and Yoga Nidra is offered as guided deep rest. Group cacao ceremonies, sound sessions with bowls and handpan, and supported floating in the pool are also on the list, and Insda calls itself a non-clinical setting.
Rooms run from teak-furnished rooms with balconies to a three-bedroom Lanna house. On-site facilities include an activity hall, herbal steam rooms, a saltwater pool and a vegetarian and vegan restaurant. Teachers and companies can host their own retreats with rooms and meals coordinated.
It suits people who want rest with some structure, and facilitators looking for a venue. Insda on Henosis.
Mahasiddha Yoga
Mahasiddha Yoga is a Tantra and yoga school, and the ashram it built to teach in. Its founders, Uriel Yariv and Blandine Wegener, are psychologists as well as teachers, and wrote the courses the school is known for, including the Tantra Immersion, which runs in four levels.
Residential courses run at Amrita Integral Yoga Centre in On Tai, San Kamphaeng, about twenty five minutes east of the old city: a wooden practice hall, a garden, a pool and rooms for about forty. The school also runs silent meditation retreats over New Year, women's circles and an online catalogue.
The teaching is classical esoteric Tantra, taught chakra by chakra with lectures. It suits people who want a structured course rather than a single workshop. Mahasiddha Yoga on Henosis.
Mala Dhara Eco Resort
Mala Dhara Eco Resort & Organic Farm is an eco resort, yoga retreat centre and working organic farm on Huay Bon Road in Mae Pong, Doi Saket, about thirty minutes from Chiang Mai.
The buildings are earthen. There are two yoga shalas, a saltwater pool and a herbal sauna, and Kin Dee, the plant-based kitchen, cooks the rice the farm grows. It is owned and run by Ploy, and it hosts retreats and ceremony for visiting teachers and lineages.
It suits retreat groups looking for a farm setting, and guests who want to stay close to the land. Mala Dhara on Henosis.
Om Waters
Om Waters is a floating retreat centre on Mae Ngat Somboon Chon Lake, by Mae Ngat Dam, inside Si Lanna National Park. Its FAQ puts it about an hour's drive from Chiang Mai, then around 30 minutes by boat.
It is five floating houseboats joined by floating bridges, 100% solar-powered and off-grid. The 120 square metre yoga shala holds up to 22 people, and so does the accommodation. Three vegetarian and vegan meals a day are catered by Cat House Chiang Mai. The season runs from the beginning of November to the end of February.
Om Waters is mainly a venue. Groups bring their own yoga, meditation, dance, massage training and workshops. Individuals can join a scheduled training or book unbooked dates, released each August on Airbnb.
It suits retreat leaders with a group, and anyone happy with simple shared living on the water. Om Waters on Henosis.
Suan Sati
Suan Sati is a yoga and meditation retreat in Ban Kad, Mae Wang, in the countryside about 20 kilometres and 45 minutes from central Chiang Mai. Its founders, Will and Lisa, welcomed the first guests on New Year's Day 2017.
From October to February it runs six-day winter retreats with pickup from the Old City. Mornings are Hatha or Vinyasa, afternoons are slow flow, restorative or yin, and breath awareness is taught as meditation. Workshops cover alignment, philosophy, bodywork, pranayama, kirtan and dance, with opening and closing ceremonies and an optional evening activity. All meals are plant-based.
From May to September it opens as a guest house with stays of three nights or more, and it runs 200-hour yoga teacher trainings through the year.
It suits beginners and experienced practitioners who want community. Suan Sati on Henosis.
The Cocoon
The Cocoon sits among the rice fields of Nam Phrae, Hang Dong, about twenty minutes south of Chiang Mai.
It is built as earthen domes on sacred geometry: a herbal steam dome fed with fresh herbs from the garden, a wood-fired barrel sauna, a saltwater pool and ice baths. It works as a day sanctuary, and as a gathering place for breathwork, sound and ceremony.
It suits anyone in the city who wants heat, steam and cold in a single visit, with no overnight stay. The Cocoon on Henosis.
The Elements
The Elements is The Cocoon's sister sanctuary, at the foot of Doi Luang in Chiang Dao, north of Chiang Mai.
The garden opens onto the mountain, with a sauna, herbal steam, an outdoor hot tub, an ice bath and a cold plunge. Unlike The Cocoon, it offers overnight stays.
It suits people who want the same heat and cold practice in the mountains, and a night away from the city. The Elements on Henosis.
How they differ

Questions
Is this list paid?
No. Every space on it holds the Henosis mark, awarded through a human assessment. Nobody paid for a place on the list, and it is sorted alphabetically.
Which Chiang Mai space can I visit for just a day?
The Cocoon, twenty minutes south of the city, works as a day sanctuary with herbal steam, a sauna, a saltwater pool and ice baths. The Elements in Chiang Dao offers the same kind of practice with the option to stay overnight.
Can I stay at Om Waters without a group?
Yes. Om Waters releases its unbooked dates on Airbnb each August for individual bookings, and you can also join one of its scheduled trainings.
