6-Day Breathwork Teacher Training in Koh Samui: Become a Certified Pranayama Guide

The training runs over six days and adds up to 50 hours of structured pranayama and breathwork study. Mornings cover practical technique — the specific breathing methods that make up the core of the curriculum — while afternoons turn to theory, including the physiology of breathing and how to guide students safely through a breath session. The course is rooted in a centuries-old tradition of conscious breathing, but the teaching side is practical: how to explain a technique, how to spot when someone is struggling, and how to sequence a class.

What separates this from a general breathwork workshop is the teacher-training element. You're not just practising pranayama for yourself; you're learning to hold space for others doing it. That means time spent on the nervous system and emotional awareness — understanding why certain breathing patterns produce certain responses, and how to work with that in a group setting.

Marga Yoga is the operator behind the training, and they run two other retreats at the same Koh Samui property: a 6-day digital detox retreat and a 21-day, 200-hour Hatha yoga teacher training. The breathwork course sits alongside those, which gives the venue a steady rotation of yoga and wellness students rather than a one-off event. Your facilitator team is confirmed before your stay, so the exact lead teacher is settled closer to the date.

The setting is Koh Samui, in Surat Thani province. The island's calm coastal environment is the backdrop for the six days, and full directions and travel guidance are shared once your booking is confirmed.

Room options are confirmed per booking and include private rooms, shared spaces and upgrades. Food is tailored to the group, with dietary needs taken into account — you tell them yours and they confirm what's available. Optional upgrades can be added to any booking.
