21-Day Hatha Yoga Teacher Training and Wellness Immersion on Koh Samui

The curriculum follows the classic 200-hour Yoga Alliance structure, but the delivery is more hands-on and personal than a big training factory. Each day you'll do pranayama and a two-hour asana practice in the morning, followed by theory classes in yoga philosophy, anatomy, and asana adjustments. In the second half of the course, you start teaching in pairs or small groups, so by the end you've had real practice in front of students. The course covers the Bhagavad Gita, chakras, mudras, bandhas, kriyas, and how to sequence a class from beginner to advanced.

What makes this one different from other trainings is the pace and the setting. The afternoons have enough breathing room to actually enjoy Koh Samui—the beach is a two-minute walk, and there's a traditional sauna and a cool plunge pool. The group is capped at 10, which means Simona can give each student direct feedback on their alignment and teaching. She has over two decades of experience, and it shows in how clearly she explains anatomy and how she makes the philosophy practical.

The location is deliberately low-key. Taling Ngam is on the quieter southwest coast of Koh Samui, away from the crowds of Chaweng. The studio is a traditional Thai wooden house, and you might stay in a hostel room, a private ensuite, or a beachfront bungalow, depending on your budget. Meals are served twice a day and are fully vegan. The food gets consistent praise in reviews—Simona is a skilled vegan cook, and the dishes are nutritious and varied. It's a simple, immersive month that gives you both the certification and a proper break from normal life.
