200-Hour Multi-Style Yoga Teacher Training with Bhakti Focus in Chiang Mai, Thailand

The 200-Hour Multi-Style + Bhakti Yoga TTC at Suan Sati is a deep dive into yoga in all its forms. The curriculum emphasizes Hatha and Vinyasa asana, Vipassana meditation, and Bhakti yoga—the yoga of devotion—which involves chanting, mantra, and music to foster a connection with oneself, the group, and the divine. You'll also explore traditional yoga philosophy, Buddhist teachings, Yin Yoga, voice work, and functional anatomy, giving you a well-rounded foundation for teaching or personal practice.

What sets this training apart is the balance between rigorous practice and restful absorption. With six days of study per week and one full day off, you'll have time to integrate what you've learned or explore the nearby town. The teaching team, led by founders Will and Lisa Hardy, are not only instructors but living examples of the practice. Will tends the gardens and leads meditations, while Lisa, a physiotherapist and E-RYT 500 teacher, blends Bhakti, movement, and breath in her sessions. Their approachable, lighthearted teaching style, combined with their deep knowledge, creates a safe space for growth.

The location in the Mae Taeng valley is a highlight in itself—a quiet valley among rice fields and mountains, with stunning sunrises and sunsets. The property features a yoga shala, gardens, a sauna, and a library, all designed to support your practice. The food is a key part of the experience: our chef prepares traditional Thai dishes with fresh, local ingredients, and is happy to cater to vegan, gluten-free, and other dietary needs. By the end of the 27 days, you'll leave with a certificate, a deeper understanding of yoga, and a new sense of confidence to share it with others.
