200-Hour Multi-Style Yoga Teacher Training on Koh Phangan's Beachfront

The 200-Hour Multi-Style Yoga Teacher Training at Orion Healing Centre is a deep dive into what it means to be a yoga teacher. Over four weeks, you'll move through a curriculum that covers vinyasa, hatha, and yin yoga styles, while also studying philosophy, anatomy, ethics, and sequencing. The course is registered with Yoga Alliance (RYS), so you'll graduate with a 200-hour YA certificate that allows you to teach in studios and retreat centers globally.

On a typical day, you'll start with a guided meditation and a two-hour asana practice at 7:30 am. While the focus is on vinyasa, you'll also explore the foundations of yin and hatha, learning how to modify poses for different bodies and how to use props and hands-on adjustments to keep your students safe. Mornings after breakfast are spent in philosophy and anatomy lectures, which are down-to-earth and practical. One of your teachers, Raj, is Sikh and born in Thailand, and he brings his deep understanding of eastern philosophy into the room, while Paula, a registered nurse, teaches anatomy and energy work with a grounding in TCM. Afternoons are for sequencing labs and teaching practice in small groups, so you'll get plenty of real experience in finding your voice and leading others.

What makes this training different is how much the surrounding environment supports your learning. Orion Healing Centre has been operating since 2005 and has a reputation as a hub for yoga in Sri Thanu. The campus is set in a lush tropical garden, steps away from a white-sand beach and a short walk to the village. You'll be part of the centre's community, with access to the restaurant, the beachfront yoga deck, and the evening events like kirtan and sound healing. The schedule is intense, but there's room for balance: Sundays are off, and there are group excursions to a waterfall, a temple, and other beaches that are included in the course fee.
