50-Hour Aerial Yoga Teacher Certification in Tropical Koh Phangan

The training runs over six days, with mornings typically starting with aerial practice or a yin/restorative session. Days include asana clinics, teaching practice, and theory on trauma and the nervous system. Afternoons often leave time for self-study or using the sauna and cold plunge. The schedule is full but paced to avoid burnout, and the small group size—capped at ten—means you get individual attention from Irene. The course is registered with Yoga Alliance as continuing education, so you can count it toward your ongoing professional development.

You'll start before you arrive: about seven hours of online videos cover anatomy, contraindications, chakras, and how to set up an aerial space. Once on site, the practical work takes over. You'll learn sequencing, how to pace a class, and how to keep students safe. The trauma-informed element is a recurring theme, not a single session. This isn't just pose drilling—it's about understanding why you're doing what you're doing and how to teach it clearly. By the end, you'll have taught practice classes and completed a practicum, the final assessed teaching session.

Irene Sánchez has been teaching for over eight years and training teachers for six. She blends vinyasa, hatha, meditation, and pranayama, but her focus here is aerial. She's known for her technical approach and for helping students find their own voice. Reviewers mention her patience and the way she explains details—people leave feeling ready to teach. The course is open to beginners in the sense that you don't need a 200-hour YTT, but you do need at least three aerial classes under your belt and decent physical fitness.

The location is a big part of the appeal. Wonderland Healing Center sits in the jungle, a short ride from the beach. You'll have access to a pool, sauna, steam, and cold plunge—useful for recovery after long days of practice. Meals are vegan buffets with plenty of variety. Koh Phangan itself has a strong yoga and wellness community, so you're surrounded by like-minded people. The island is known for its beaches, waterfalls, and sunsets, and you'll have some free time to explore.
