We are a Registered yoga School since 2011 with The Yoga Alliance. Our main school is located in Canada, and our second home for 2 years has been Koh Samui (paradise). We conduct our trainings at The beautiful Banburee Spa and Retreat Centre 🙏🏽 🇹🇭 Our goal is to ensure that you feel confident teaching Vinyasa, Yin and Classical Hatha Classes upon completion of our program. We focus on excellent yoga systems such as Sivananda and Ashtanga. We cover history and philosophy authentically, we explore various meditation and Pranayama techniques throughout the program. We have been told our program is very professional, challenging and rewarding. How to get to us... ARRIVAL BY AIRPLANE The easiest and quickest way to get to Koh Samui from Bangkok is to fly, flight ticket is cheap if you book early. Bangkok Airlines has 19 flights per day from Bangkok to Koh Samui. Thai Airways has 2 flights per day. Fly from Bangkok to Surat Thani, then take a ferry to Koh Samui. This is cheaper than flying directly to Koh Samui. The bus from the airport to the pier and the ferry across to Koh Samui add at least 3 hours to your travel time. ARRIVAL BY BUS Take the bus from Bangkok to Surat Thani, then take the ferry to Koh Samui. This is the cheapest way to get from Bangkok to Koh Samui. No reservations required, just show up at the bus station and you should be on a bus heading south within the hour. The bus will take you directly to the ferry terminal. Be sure to buy a bus and ferry combo ticket. arrival in Thailand, you will received a 30 day stamp in your passport (this is called a 30 day visa exemption) You can extend this stamp a further 30 days at the Immigration office in Koh Samui for a fee of 1900 Baht. If you have multiple entry visa, you can stay 60 days and you can extend this stamp a further 30 days at the Immigration office in Koh Samui for a fee of 1900 Baht. Then after 30 days you do visa run to neighbour country and stay 60 days more and again extend 30 days from immigration. So you can easily stay 6 months with multiple entry visa.

Overall I had a great experience with teacher training at The Yoga MAT. The staff are really caring and go out of their way to adapt to the needs of the group. They also incorporate some fun activities and excursions in addition to the day-to-day routine. I feel I got a really thorough breakdown of asana, making adjustments, pranayama, anatomy and yoga philosophy, and was able to teach my first class successfully. I also really enjoyed the sound baths. There definitely is some need to be willing to go with the flow as the course is in Thailand, a tropical location and developing country where things don't always run as we expect in the west. I've traveled extensively and was prepared for this and also felt like the staff did a good job making sure we had clean water/food, a practice area with a breeze to ward off mosquitoes and adapting the schedule occasionally to factor in heat and if the group was getting too exhausted. They even went out of there way to celebrate my birthday and got me flowers, a cake and card. Accommodations at Varinda Resort are rustic but beautifully decorated with a nice pool area and caring staff who really try to meet every request. Overall it was a transformative experience with a wonderful group of people and I'm so glad I went. Full Review

I absolutely loved the 200 hour yoga teach training with Tania, Bashakti and Deniz in Koh Samui. They were all super nice and welcoming, the place we stayed at was lovely and I just felt so lucky to be able to do yoga with a view over the ocean. I learnt so much and would definitely do it again. I already recommended the course to friends and family. Full Review
