Retreat location

The teacher training will be held at Ananda Yoga & Detox Center in Koh Phangan, Thailand. Koh Phangan, a paradise in the Gulf of Thailand, is located about 100 kilometers from the coast of Southern Thailand in Surat Thani Province and about 15 kilometers from the famous resort island of Koh Samui. The island, with an area of 168 square kilometers, is mostly mountains and tropical forest, with coconut fields in the lowlands. Koh Phangan is home to approximately 14,000 people, mostly of Chinese descent, as well as Thais from all over Thailand who have moved there to start tourism-related businesses. Most residents live in Thong Sala, the main gateway into the island from Samui. Koh Phangan’s main exports are coconuts, with more than one million coconut exports to Bangkok each month. Fishing and tourism also play significant roles in the island’s economy. Around 95% of the population are Buddhists, and Buddhism plays a major role in daily life.

Tourist destinations on Koh Phangan include the Phaeng Waterfall National Park, the Chinese temple built after a woman’s dream in 1990, the largest Yang tree in Thailand, and Wat Khao Noi, the oldest temple on the island with a Buddha statue that is over 300 years old.
