Koh Phangan, Thailand
Study Yoga with me on a tropical island in Thailand!
Ananda Yoga & Detox Center is located along Hin Kong beach, with a stunning view over the Gulf of Thailand. People come from all over the island every evening to enjoy the beautiful sunsets on our beach.
All of our accommodation includes air condition and fans.
All of our rooms are on site, which is the most convenient way to focus on your training.
Only guests who are enrolled in one of our retreat programs are allowed to stay at our resort. Therefore, you will not be disturbed by random tourists who are not invested in the vibe, security, and serenity of our relaxing atmosphere.
Partners are allowed to stay with you in a Private Room. Extra charges will apply.
Most Western countries can receive a 30 day visa exemption when you arrive to the Kingdom of Thailand by air. We strongly recommend that you check with your own country’s embassy or consulate to verify your exact requirements.
The 30 day visa exemption can typically be extended for an additional 30 days with a quick visit to the immigration office on Koh Samui.
Due to the length of this training, a 60 day tourist visa might be your best option to place your mind at ease, and not worry about the extension at an immigration office.

Teacher Training Testimonials
Johnny, was absolutely outstanding. Not only did he have clear, precise direction, but he also had a way of relating the yoga principles to everyday life, which I really liked. He was very patient, encouraging, and had a great positive energy about him. Just the best!
Probably one of the best value for money there is. You receive the tools to develop yourself as a yogi and to share your (new) skills with the students you will teach. The daily schedule is structured and the program is well thought out. The environment is very encouraging.
Ananda yoga and detox centre is a special place where you will be taken care of and feel at home. I did the yoga teacher training here. I highly recommend this training for a strong understanding and practice of yoga and how to teach it.
