28-Day Advanced Yoga Teacher Training in Chiang Mai

This isn't just another teacher training—it's a full-on immersion into yogic life. You'll be staying at Maewin Guesthouse & Resort, a peaceful retreat surrounded by rice fields and mountains. The course is run by Yoga Vidya Mandiram, a school based in Rishikesh, India, and their senior teachers fly over specifically for this training, bringing with them the authentic teachings of the Himalayan masters. You'll spend 28 days living, breathing, and studying yoga.

Each day follows a structured rhythm: early morning meditation and pranayama, followed by a long asana practice, then breakfast. Your days are then filled with workshops on anatomy, philosophy, and teaching methodology. Evenings involve mantra chanting, yoga nidra, or group discussions. It counts for 300 hours of Yoga Alliance continuing education and covers the full spectrum of what you need to become a confident, knowledgeable teacher.

The group is kept deliberately small (max 15 people), so you get plenty of individual attention. The teaching team includes experts in Hatha and Ashtanga Vinyasa, as well as an Ayurvedic doctor who teaches anatomy and physiology. They're all dedicated to preserving the traditional teachings of yoga.

There's also time to explore nearby Buddhist temples and even head up into Thailand’s highest mountain range. It's an experience that will challenge you, change you, and leave you with a much deeper understanding of what yoga truly is. The school's emphasis on traditional practices like kriyas, pranayama, and mantra sets it apart from a basic anatomy-focused course.
