100-Hour AXIS Yoga Teacher Training in Koh Samui

The AXIS method is the heart of this training. You'll work on two mats set in a cross, turning to face each cardinal direction as you flow. Mikey Lazano, who developed the approach, leads the course, drawing on his own journey from a first yoga holiday at Vikasa to completing his 200- and 300-hour trainings here and eventually moving to the island permanently.

Each morning begins with a practice that's both deep and dynamic — moderate-length holds mixed with rotational vinyasa to move you through space. Pranayama and meditation are woven into every session, so you're not just building physical skill but also the internal tools to teach a complete class.

Afternoons are for lectures and workshops. You'll learn advanced sequencing methodology, how to draw mandalas with your movement, and how to structure and teach an Axis sequence. Anatomy, philosophy, and teacher development all get dedicated time, giving you a well-rounded foundation beyond the physical practice.

The setting amplifies everything. Vikasa sits on a green hillside in the southeast of Koh Samui, with sweeping ocean views from the practice shalas. Between sessions you can swim in the infinity pool, book a spa treatment at the Vita Spa, or just sit with a coconut and watch the boats. The island itself — with its beaches, waterfalls, temples, and night markets — is yours to explore on your day off.

You'll leave with a 100-hour diploma (accredited for YACEP continuing education) and the confidence to teach a style most studios have never seen. It's a practical way to stand out as a teacher, and a deeply personal way to push your own practice further than you thought it could go.
