200-Hour Yin Yoga, Sound Healing & Cacao Ritual Teacher Training in Koh Phangan

The training is a deep dive into three interconnected modalities. Yin Yoga forms the structural anchor, with daily afternoon immersion sessions exploring 35 regular yin yoga poses, meridian theory, and the energetic flow of chi. You'll learn to sequence intelligently and teach with a trauma-aware approach, understanding the physical and energetic value of each pose.

Sound Healing is woven throughout, with dedicated morning theory classes on playing singing bowls, understanding resonance, and creating sound journeys. You'll practice facilitating sound baths and learn how to integrate them into yoga classes and private sessions. The program also covers Solfeggio frequencies, chakra protocols, and the therapeutic use of sound.

Ceremonial Cacao Facilitation is a third pillar. You'll study the ethnobotany, medicinal properties, and cultural roots of cacao, and learn how to prepare and lead ceremonial cacao rituals with integrity. This includes designing altars, setting intentions, and incorporating music, breath, and movement into ceremonies.

The teaching team, led by Manuela and Wendy, brings decades of experience in yin yoga, meditation, sound therapy, and trauma-sensitive practices. They emphasize the felt experience of postures over rigid alignment, making the training accessible to beginners and challenging for experienced yogis. Daily embodied practices—including sunrise and sunset circles, Yoga Nidra, ecstatic movement, and kirtan—ensure that learning is experiential, not just theoretical.

The location at The Sanctuary on Haad Tien beach is a major highlight. This remote beach is only accessible by boat, offering complete immersion in nature. The property is set in a coconut grove backed by jungle, with calm, clear waters perfect for swimming. The accommodations range from simple shared dorms to private air-conditioned deluxe rooms. The food is vegan and designed to support your practice, with breakfast and dinner included daily.
