"I attended RUNGA during a critical time in my life. Sauna House was growing fast and I needed to get away from it all while I struggled to make some big decisions. I went to create space for wisdom to come in and how this happened was quite literally crazy. In the first few hours the same phrase was spoken by Emilia in our first yoga session. By the end of the week I left with lifelong friends and an introduction to a new advisor who now has changed the shape of Sauna House forever. Truly enjoyed every moment of my time with this wonderful group of facilitators and guests."
ANDREW LACHLAN, FOUNDER OF SAUNA HOUSE

“In today’s climate it is crucial to be in environments where you can connect deeply with like-minded people, learn, and have a blast. That’s why I love RUNGA and continue to come back. My three RUNGA retreats gave me the opportunity to build life-long relationships and have fun growing into the best version of myself. A huge thank you to the entire RUNGA family!”

All the vitamin shots, classes and bio-hacking tools are great, but more than anything, RUNGA is a place of belonging and connection. It's a place where each person is not only welcome, but they're seen as a necessary piece of the whole. We all left feeling like family. I can't wait to return!”

“As an athlete, I’ve always thought I knew how to take care of my body. RUNGA taught me that there is so much more to well-being than just training for sport. By taking a deep dive into breath, mobility and mind, I came away with a better understanding of the body-mind interaction, and the tools available to me to sustain that connection.”
AMELIA BOONE, 4X WORLD CHAMPION ENDURANCE ATHLETE

“RUNGA has been one of the biggest catalysts and cornerstones to my health and wellness journey.

I look forward to these events all year, feeling the energy that is so unique to RUNGA and the team behind it! I cannot express the sense of joy and community it brings to be a part of this tribe.”

“When the student is ready, the teacher appears. RUNGA is the experience we all seek. It provides the expertise, fellowship, and support to explore a vast array of health, wellness, longevity, and fitness modalities that are on the cutting edge of technology and some that return to ancient wisdoms reborn. We let RUNGA open our eyes and fill our souls and for that we thank you!”
