200-Hour Beachfront Yoga Teacher Training in Hoi An, Vietnam

The training covers the key subjects of a 200-hour YTT: anatomy and physiology, asana techniques in Hatha and Vinyasa, pranayama and meditation, yoga philosophy and lifestyle, and teaching methodology with ethics. The schedule runs six days a week, with one rest day for excursions or personal time. An opening ceremony kicks off the course and a closing ceremony marks its end, where you receive your certificate.

What makes this training different is the setting and the people. You'll practice in two distinct places: the beachfront Naia Yoga studio, with views of trees and sky, and a studio in the rice fields near An My Village. The lead instructors—Phuoc Nguyen and Thuong—each hold 500-hour certifications and have over 10,000 hours of teaching. They have run their own studios and bring a grounded, practical approach to teacher training.

Hoi An itself is a draw. The UNESCO-listed Ancient Town is a short ride away, and the coastline is quiet and sandy. The local community is a small farming village, so you're surrounded by rice fields and vegetable gardens. Naia's founder, Hue, is often on hand and is known for looking after students' itineraries and making everyone feel safe and welcome.

The course is capped at 16 students, which means you get a lot of personal feedback on your teaching. You'll practice teaching in a supportive environment, learn to sequence classes, make adjustments, and understand the ethics of the profession. By the end, you'll have the tools to step into a yoga class as a teacher with confidence.
