70-Day 500-Hour Yoga Training in Koh Phangan

Surya and Santosh blew us away as instructors. We learned so much in just a month, it’s mind-blowing. I can’t even fathom how it could get any better! They took me from zero knowledge on teaching yoga to being able to lead a full hour practice, which was so empowering. And going from clueless about Yoga Philosophy to acing the final exam, all thanks to Santosh’s teaching, is going to be super helpful in both life and future yoga classes. The food was delicious and we had plenty of options. My beach bungalow was absolutely perfect! The setting was absolutely beautiful and idyllic. And the bond we all formed in our class was incredible – 24 new friends from all across the globe.

I can’t think of anything I didn’t like or love during my yoga teacher training at One Yoga. Time flew by so fast – finished the 200-hour YTT on January 13th, and now I wish I could turn back time and do it all over again.

I remember struggling to pick a yoga school online, but One Yoga stood out to me for many reasons. From the 28-day program to the location and the mouthwatering food pictures, I just kept coming back to their website.

Trusting my gut, I booked my spot and the moment I arrived, I knew it was a good decision. The days felt magical and safe, despite any initial nerves.

I learned so much about yoga, anatomy, philosophy, mantra singing, meditation, and myself. The teachers were dedicated professionals who made learning easy and fun. They were truly inspiring and I miss them dearly.

The other students became like family to me. I love them all and miss them dearly. It may sound like I’m gushing, but words can’t truly capture how special this experience was.

And let’s not forget the incredible staff who were always sweet and helpful. The location and food were absolutely stunning – truly breathtaking!

Both the staff and students are filled with enthusiasm and energy.

I just wish the program was a little longer. It would have given me more time for self-study at the end of each day when I was too tired to study much, and more time for practicing teaching. I absolutely loved being immersed in yoga practice and philosophy six days a week, all day long. It was exactly what I had been hoping for. The One Yoga team, who are all so supportive and knowledgeable, have enriched my life and changed my perspective on yoga. I felt nurtured and cared for, not just as a future yoga teacher but personally as well. The program was holistic and packed with so much valuable information in our 28 days.

Omdat ik alleen in het meditatieprogramma zat, hebben ze me niet overal bij betrokken / op de hoogte gesteld (app groep). De sfeer was gezellig maar ook serieus. Ze hadden alles top georganiseerd. Het programma was precies goed en niet te zwaar. Het eten was fantastisch. Ik verbleef in de accommodatie ernaast en dat was een hele mooie plek om te slapen.

I have to leave soon, but it was great spending time with you.

I would suggest adding more guidance with meditation to improve the experience, but everything else was perfect. The healing and wholesome experience, the amazing daily classes, the great food, and the friendly, helpful staff all made the retreat fantastic.

Maybe we could have fewer but longer breaks in between activities on the schedule. We have a great variety of amazing Yoga teachers, each teaching their own styles and sharing their knowledge. Every day, we have Yoga Nidra and Sound/Gong baths to help you relax and bring out hidden emotions. The Yoga philosophy classes are really inspiring and customized to the group’s interests and needs. The food is absolutely amazing! I will definitely be coming back.

I liked every single item. Danny, who established One Yoga and brought in experienced yogi teachers, has my endless gratitude. I am grateful to all my teachers who share their knowledge and experiences with such passion. The curriculum covered anatomy, physiology, yoga philosophy, Buddhism, and the art of teaching, along with detailed techniques in asanas and pranayamas. The weekly practicum challenges really helped me improve my teaching skills and confidence. I was a beginner, but thanks to the curriculum and the teachers’ guidance, I feel like I absorbed so much valuable knowledge.

The delicious and nutritious meals provided by Ji ji and her team were a real highlight, and they kept the whole facility clean and comfortable. I highly recommend One Yoga to anyone looking to deepen their practice.

Thank you to all the teachers, administrative team, cooks, and supporting staff at One Yoga. Namaste.

One yoga a rendu cette formation inoubliable grâce à son cadre paisible, la qualité des repas, la gentillesse du personnel et le haut niveau pratique et théorique des professeurs. On ressent une bienveillance permanente lors de ce stage qui nous permet d’évoluer personnellement. Ce n’est pas juste un diplôme de professeur de yoga, c’est un véritable voyage à la recherche de soi dans un cadre propice. Un grand merci à toute l’équipe de One yoga, je n’oublierai jamais tout ce que vous m’avez apporté durant ce séjour 🙂

The administrative part could use some improvement, but I highly recommend this program to everyone. The asana classes are fantastic, and the schedule is perfect for both beginners and advanced students. The anatomy class is interactive and specifically tailored to enhance your yoga practice, which I found to be amazing. The philosophy class is delivered in a simple and clear manner, teaching you a lot about yoga and yourself. The teachers are excellent, coming from diverse backgrounds and each bringing something unique to the table, adding value to the program. And let’s not forget about the amazing food (my biggest concern before leaving, haha) and the stunning view from the bungalows that will surely inspire you to wake up early every morning!

Everyone at the retreat was super friendly and made me feel like I was coming home to a loving family. The instructors served as spiritual guides, trusted friends, advisers, and open ears to listen without judgement. I didn’t know what to expect when I first arrived, but the experience turned out to be magical.

I found the language to be very difficult. But everything is about experiences. Learn from experiencing what yoga can bring you, instead of just using your brain. It’s all about love, kindness, and lots of patience.

As I left Love, I noticed that the staff were quick to accommodate everyone’s needs. I really enjoyed interacting with each of the teachers because they were very knowledgeable. The daily meditation was a highlight for me. The food, although similar each day, was tasty. I feel so light and clean after my time at Love. Koh Pha-ngan is such an amazing island with like-minded people. And the sunsets there are absolutely beautiful.

I had an amazing month with One Yoga, where they taught me all the skills I needed to become a teacher. I was pleasantly surprised to learn so much about yoga history and philosophy. The course was organized really well and went smoothly. Koh Pha-ngan is just the right size for me to feel at home and there is also plenty to explore.

I had an amazing month with One Yoga. It was such an incredible experience and beautiful journey! Choosing this was the best decision I could have made. I fell in love with the island and the Shala. The lectures were always so interesting and the yoga classes were beautiful, taught with love to help you deepen your practice. I wasn’t sure if I could sit and meditate for so long, but I ended up loving the morning meditation. The teachers were amazing, so kind and always available to answer questions. The food was great too. The staff and organizers were super friendly and always happy to help. I absolutely loved my time there! Thank you, One Yoga! Namaste

I loved everything about it, it was such an intense experience. The teachers were great, the location was great, the food was great, everything was just great!

The training is perfect. It’s the right mix of theory, spirituality, and movement. The teachers are so welcoming and knowledgeable. I am just thrilled and incredibly grateful for these 4 weeks full of highs and lows. I have not only understood yoga but also learned valuable lessons for life!

Danny, the curator of One Yoga, artfully put together an extremely enjoyable experience that really rounds you out as a yoga teacher. This course covers philosophy, the art of teaching, and anatomy beautifully and thoroughly. The teachers are lovely, and even though they change from course to course, you know you’re in good hands with Danny’s fantastic direction. As soon as you arrive, you feel safe on a lovely island with plenty of vegan restaurants and options everywhere! I made beautiful friendships, deepened my practice, and developed as a teacher while still managing to explore the island and connect with the local heartbeat. Can I please do it all over again?

The shala was always leaking with rain, creating slippery conditions, and the equipment like mats and pillows wasn’t very good.

I had ants crawling all over my bed with scratchy uncomfortable sheets in the accommodations. The price kept changing from when I booked the retreat, and I didn’t get my deposit back because I had to pay for electricity on top of the cost of the room. I wasn’t even informed about the extra charge until the day I was leaving. But the teaching from Lior, Astrid, Surya, and Swami was absolutely fantastic!

Some classmates had challenges with their accommodation, but I stayed at Sunset Hill, which was extremely comfortable and convenient! The yoga studio was right there, so all I had to do in the early morning was go up to the beautiful rooftop studio. I was just hoping to gain quality information and knowledge on the physical aspects of yoga – asanas, sequences, correct alignments, efficient teaching methods and tools. And, of course, a Yoga Teacher Certificate that is recognized worldwide. What I ended up receiving by the end of the course exceeded all my expectations! All the instructors were not just Great Teachers of their subjects, but Teachers of Life as well, sharing their light and illuminating each one of us. After the course, I not only became a yoga teacher, but a happier person whose world has been transformed during these intensive four weeks. I gained valuable knowledge and wisdom for living a quality life. I am endlessly grateful for this transformation!

A quick shoutout to the teachers:
Danny – the driving force behind One Yoga, so bright and kind!
Surya – the sun and light of One Yoga, her Art of Teaching classes were efficient yet simple and clear; her yoga classes were harmonious with the body.
Swami Sachi – Philosophy may be complex, but your bright smile and kind heart made it more approachable.
Astrid – Anatomy classes may have been challenging, but your patience and love made them interesting and enjoyable.
Lior – Enjoyed singing the songs of life with you!
Clair – The team’s angel!

Namaste!

The yoga shala moved to a beautiful new location this time, but it wasn’t within walking distance from where I was staying anymore. I wish they had given me the option to relocate and explained the situation beforehand since my accommodation wasn’t on Google Maps. I assumed I could still walk there but ended up needing a motorbike, which I can’t drive. Luckily, my family members came to the rescue and offered me a ride every day! <3

My 200hr TTC at One Yoga Thailand was hands down one of the best experiences of my life. The journey on this lush green island was simply amazing. The folks at One Yoga are truly inspiring, radiating love & kindness while sharing a wealth of knowledge. The atmosphere they've created is a safe space where you can be your authentic self, freely explore, learn, and grow. The classes are top-notch and incredibly valuable. Throughout the month, I found a new family - my One Yoga family. <3 We'll continue learning from life, our adventures, and one another. I know that my One Yoga people (both the teachers and fellow students) will always have my back. One Yoga, One Love. Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu.

You eventually get over everything you don’t like because the whole purpose of this experience is to let go and have an open heart and mind towards living your new life. I absolutely loved my Yoga Teacher Training experience, I came into this with an open attitude and it exceeded my expectations. One Yoga is located on the beautiful Koh Phangan specifically Surat Thani portion of the island. This location has wonderful beaches, breathtaking sunsets, and an awesome yoga/vegan vibe. Tons of restaurants to accommodate your Vegan needs. I was extremely blessed with 23 beautiful souls from all over the world and that isn’t something that we have control over but so happy for my new family. Teachers were well qualified and taught with love and a smile that’s hard to forget. My accommodation was at the KP Guesthouse, a private spacious room with a bathroom and tons of natural light and air-con. Also the locals were extremely hospitable and helpful. I loved renting a motorbike during free time and just cruising around the island. I can’t wait to return to this magical place. NAMASTE!

We provide high-quality teachings, excellent learning conditions, and a real-life spiritual experience that will stay with you forever.

I’m so happy I picked One Yoga for my TTC training. Everything was absolutely perfect from the start – the communication, organization, care, and atmosphere. Danny, Suria, and Latifa are amazing people with big hearts who created a friendly environment where I felt safe and supported as a beginner in yoga. The food was delicious, with a daily smoothie for breakfast and buffet lunch that changed my perspective on vegan cuisine. The accommodation was really nice, just 6 minutes away from the school on Koh Pangan island, a beautiful and spiritual place with positive vibes. I highly recommend One Yoga for the TTC course.

The floor in the yoga shala had a bit of a sticky feel to it. The amazing, supportive, and inspiring teachers taught us interesting and useful theory. The diverse asana practice was great for all levels. I learned and grew so much in one month and I wish I could’ve stayed longer! Sending a million hugs and kisses to the One Yoga dream team.
