Advanced 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training & Wellness Immersion in Chiang Mai, Thailand

The 300-hour Level 2 Yoga Teacher Training at Mala Dhara Eco Resort is the result of a decade of fine-tuning and is considered the founders' crowning achievement. What makes this course special is the integration of different teaching lineages and the emphasis on clarifying your intentions as a teacher. The curriculum is divided into three modules: The Art of Teaching, The Wisdom of the Chakras, and Injury Management. You will explore functional anatomy through the lens of common injuries, learn how to sequence creative yet safe classes, and develop your unique voice as a teacher.

A significant portion of the training is dedicated to anatomy and injury management, taught by Katrien, who holds a PhD in biomedical science. She brings a scientific perspective to the practice, making complex topics accessible and practical. The course also includes a deep dive into classical tantra and non-duality, led by senior facilitator Amy Devani, who will guide you through the Dasa Mahavidyas, the ten wisdom goddesses of the tantric tradition. This module is a rare opportunity to explore the esoteric aspects of yoga.

Beyond the physical and philosophical aspects, the training covers non-violent communication, acro-yoga, pranayama, and meditation. You will learn how to address stress, anxiety, and unprocessed emotions in yourself and your future students. The teaching team includes James French, an E-RYT with over 40 teacher trainings under his belt, and other experienced educators who live on-site with you, offering continuous support and informal conversations around the fire. This living-learning environment is key to the transformative nature of the experience.

The Mala Dhara Eco Resort itself is a unique venue with both indoor and outdoor yoga shalas, spacious rooms, and a saltwater pool. The architecture uses earthen materials, creating a rustic yet comfortable atmosphere that is in harmony with the natural surroundings. With regular teaching practice from day one, this intensive course ensures you leave as a confident and knowledgeable teacher, ready to share the benefits of yoga with the world.
