read more ×Ann originally from Canada, born to Korean parents, has been living abroad for over 8 years. She first encountered Ashtanga yoga and the Mysore method in Dubai and felt an instant connection with this powerful and nourishing practice. It has guided her to develop a daily devotional morning practice of mindfulness in her asana, pranayama and meditation practices. With over 5 years of a daily Ashtanga practice, she now has more of an understanding of her physical, energetic and spiritual body. Diving deeper in the path of yoga, she has also completed a 10 day Vipassana meditation, in honorable silence. Ashtanga Vinyasa, for Ann, is first and foremost a moving meditation and a breathing practice. Many consider it quite a powerful Yang practice, but Ann brings a sense of Yin-ness to her teachings and her daily practices, as she maintains that each and every day of practice is a gift of self love.

At a very tender age we started conversing in Sanskrit, Learning and chanting mantras from the Vedas and the Upanishads at home. In my teenage I was exposed to Yoga from Prashanthi kuteeram, which is now globally known as Svyasa yoga university. Later on along with my family, We started a gurukulam (traditional Vedic school) for girls for free, the education system physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually empowers girls with ancient Indian wisdom. From, 2016 onwards with my exposure and experience in teaching, I’ve travelled to many countries spreading the beauty and knowledge of Indian Scriptures (Teaching shlokas, mantras, yoga philosophy and Bhagavadgita). We also conduct short term Yoga and cultural retreats (in Mysore) to connect people deeply into the riveting cultural and spiritual roots of India. Post the pandemic I am seriously pursuing studies in Advaitha Vedanta Philosophy under my teacher Swami Visharadananda Saraswati and Dr. KK Subramani. Along side I am Pursuing my M.Sc in Yoga therapy. In this world of hundreds of conscious living beings, I’ve truly been a blessed soul to get this opportunity to study and practice such divine knowledge. I shall continue to be learning and sharing this knowledge of love, light and liberation.

This gorgeous, secluded space is topped with an astrologically aligned pyramid. Together with the soothing sound of a gentle waterfall running underneath, the Prana Hall has been called magical, vibrant and powerful.

My experience with All Yoga was absolutely memorable and a journey that brought people together. It was full of fantastic mentors, teachings and l got to know myself better. I stayed at Beam accommodation which was so much fun as lots of us stayed together in the very spacious dorm that was only used by All Yoga training students. We quickly became a family - saying goodnight and getting familiar with each other's morning and evening rituals and habits. In the end l knew exactly which alarm belonged to whom! After the walk up the small hill (nicknamed 'hill-asana') we would reach our beautiful Shala up in the green with an overview of the bay – the best view for a sunrise. This was our home base - were we laughed, chanted, sweated and most of all grew as yogis and people. Coming from background of office desks and banking, it has been the best learning and practice environment I have ever had.
read more ×I absolutely fell in love with the surroundings of the All Yoga Shala in Thailand. You are right in the middle of the jungle, so closely connected to nature and disconnected from the outside world. It gives you the chance to have real introspection. During our free time we enjoyed spending time at the beautiful beaches with a fresh coconut in hand. A truly special place; it gives the whole experience the perfect add on.
read more ×Choosing the right yoga teacher training was a daunting decision, with so many companies and stunning locations out there it was difficult to know where to start. I knew that I wanted to complete my 200hrs in one shorter course, rather than across 1 year, as I knew I'd get the most out of full immersion into the experience.
read more ×Thailand was my top choice of places to do my 200hr yoga teacher training as it ticked all the boxes for what I was looking for. The most important thing for me was being far away from the distraction and stresses of everyday life. As well as being a safe and easy place to travel on your own. I loved the sound of living on

While I struggle to convey through words how illuminating this training has been on myself understanding, growth motivation, health, and clarity of being - here is my best shot. From day one my experience revealed to me how transformational yoga is and that I am the only medicine I will ever need. Instructors are beyond special, the collective energy generated from their presence, knowledge and inspiration empowered me to see past any challenges and limitations I felt before. Despite having undergone an extensive joint replacement surgery a couple of months prior, I'm the strongest and healthiest I've felt. I loved everything, from the course materials, instructions, the location (Bali = paradise) and wonderful classmates. I did not want to leave. I have no doubts about advancing my practice and my capability to do so.
read more ×Deciding to complete the 200hr YTT course with All Yoga is one of my best decisions so far. Waiting almost 3 to 4 years made this experience all the more worth it. David, Seline and Jess are superb instructors who made us all feel fully seen, welcomed and prepared for our journey into the world as yoga teachers and practitioners. This training, living on Nusa Lembongan, connecting with people I would now call life long friends, has given me a truly transformational experience.
read more ×All Yoga Training was an excellent choice. David and Seline are very knowledgeable, highly trained and professional. Besides the physical training, the teachings of philosophy and anatomy were equally important. Time spent on kriya, pranayama and meditation were extensive, which I personally felt became the most important part of the yoga training. As an alternative teacher I believe self-care and the internal practice create a more mindful teacher. I encourage those who take the Ashtanga course be physically prepared, some practice in Mysore is encouraged - I had little experience and was challenged learning the sequence. The reviews were fantastic and glad I chose All Yoga truly best in my opinion.
read more ×This teacher training truly changed my life. It opened me to parts of myself I had yet to discover, including a deepened intuition and greater capacity for love in a short period of time. I developed a sense of discipline that I will carry with me the rest of my life, as I now understand the importance of discipline and the joy it can bring. The teachers completely exceeded my expectations. They taught a balance of the mental, physical and spiritual aspects of yoga instead of focusing of the physical only, which has gained so much popularity. The teachers put in so much effort and love to make every moment so special for us. Their passion for yoga and connection never went unseen and they fostered an environment where each student felt safe to be there truest selves. I came expecting to focus on my own growth and ended up being part of a family of like-minded open hearted people. I am so grateful and I would recommend All Yoga to anyone.
read more ×Dear All Yoga, Seline, Shivaani and David, thank you! There are so many thoughts I'd like to share with you, but to make it simple, all I want to say is THANK YOU for a life-changing experience. I went through so much during the last 23 days, ups and downs, physical and emotional roller coasters, but even during those more demanding times, I always felt strong on my path, with clear directions, surrounded by you as my anchors. Thank you for guiding me on my ‘camino’ and showing all the beauty, which was surrounding us. I will never forget! I came here with no expectations and now I feel so much more enriched. I learned about my body, my feelings, mind and last but not least my soul got healed. This experience will stay with me forever. Thank you all from all my heart.
read more ×It transformed me in a way that I have learned so much about myself that I will take with me home and create a “new” lifestyle with all the new knowledge I have. I also learned that it is also okay not to be “the best”, that in yoga there is no “best”. I always try to “overdo” things to stand out for myself but here I learned that where I am (in ex. poses) is okay. It was an emotional rollercoaster but I think you need to experience both good and bad to eventually learn and become better. I had a great time here, I gained so much knowledge that I don’t think I would get anywhere else that easily. Thank you !

Millions of people from around the world travel to Thailand annually. Well-catered to tourists, Thailand is a very safe and easy place to travel to. English is widely spoken and most restaurants/facilities have English signs.
As with most tourist destinations, be wary of thieves and protect yourself against petty crime by exercising caution when withdrawing cash from an ATM and making sure not to carry large sums of money on your person. It's also recommended that you keep your money and valuables close to you to avoid being targeted by thieves on motorcycles.
Koh Phangan, like all places in Thailand, is very safe and easy to get to. There are a number of travel options to the island, which you can view here.
There are many solo travelers visiting Thailand per year. Chances are you will meet like-minded people along the way and strike up interesting conversations. Nevertheless, the best advice is to practice common sense. Don't venture alone into unsafe areas at night, keep your belongings safe, and correspond with someone you know back home so they know your whereabouts.
It is recommended to have photocopies (print and digital versions) of your passport and travel visas. In the event of loss or theft this will make it easier for your country's embassy to fast track a replacement.
You are in the perfect place! Thailand is very vegetarian-friendly due to its Buddhist traditions. You can find many vegetarian and vegan dishes in almost all local restaurants. Our favorites are green curry with tofu and vegetarian Pad Thai.
Food and accommodation are very affordable in Thailand, which make it a popular choice for yoga teacher trainees looking to spend more time in the country. Local dishes such as Pad Thai and curries start as low as USD2 - 3, and simple lodgings can start from USD 6 per night. For more details, see accommodation options here.
Malaria is not commonly found in major cities/tourist areas in Thailand. While there are some cases of dengue fever, it can be avoided by protecting yourself with mosquito repellent and wearing long-sleeved tops and trousers in the evenings.
For vaccinations, please check with your local travel clinic before departure and use your own discretion.
Travel insurance from a trusted company that covers theft, loss and medical is highly advised. Make sure to check that your package also covers sport related injuries. If you are travelling on, many insurance providers offer longer backpacker packages at cheaper rates.
Koh Phangan is well connected with reliable Wi-Fi in most hotels, hostels and cafes. Short stay sim cards are also cheap, and can be bought on arrival at most airports.
The best way to protect against food poisoning is by drinking bottled or filtered water and steering clear of street food. Also avoid eating uncooked foods, like salad, as they are sometimes rinsed with tap water. Hand sanitizer will also be your best friend.
Visitors from many nations are entitled to a 30-day visa on arrival and there are a range of options for longer stays and multiple entries. Please check the Thai Immigration website for more detailed information.

Yes, friends, family and partners are welcome. There is plenty of accommodation on the island suitable for couples and larger groups. On course days, friends and/or family can enjoy the activities in the area or take short day trips to different neighboring islands.
Thailand: a country with a diverse ecosystem of island archipelagos, white-sand beaches and wild national parks. Our students can experience it on all on the island of Koh Phangan known for its ecotourism. In contrast to the south east of the island, famous for its beach parties and nightlife, the west coast of the island enjoys a quieter, unspoiled calm with beautiful areas to explore. In fact, nearly half of Koh Phangan is protected tropical rainforest reserve with a unique ecology of wildlife, flora and fauna. Island hopping to explore surrounding nature is popular among travellers; check out our tips for exploring the area before or after your training.

Thailand is an affordable destination to travel, with a low cost of living making it a popular choice for those looking to enjoy their travels before or after their 200 Hour yoga teacher training in Thailand. The island of Koh Phangan is a designated ecotourism zone and has lots to explore from secluded coves, jungle trails, refreshing waterfalls and hilltop temples.

Additionally, many nationalities are able to enter visa-free for 30 days. Those who have time to explore further can continue the South East Asia trail to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar.
There is so much to see in Thailand outside of the popular beach resorts. The mountainous north has national parks and conservation areas with protected wildlife such as the Asian elephant, cultural cities are home to some of the world’s oldest temples and long coastlines are dotted with picturesque limestone islands.

As there is no airport on Koh Phangan, you can reach the island by boat from either Koh Samui or Surat Thani.
From Koh SamuiThe route from Koh Samui is the quickest and most direct way. Flights to Koh Samui are regular, with regular routes from Bangkok through Bangkok Airways and Thai Airways. From Koh Samui, travel to either of two ferry piers that have ferries to Koh Phangan. It's recommended to book tickets in advance or get down to the pier early before your sitting. The two ferry options available are:
1. Haad Rin Queen FerryFrom Koh Samui airport, take a taxi to the Big Buddha Pier. The Haad Rin Queen Ferry from here takes you to Haad Rin Pier. View ferry times here.

From Surat ThaniA cheaper alternative is to take the train from Bangkok to Surat Thani. However, be prepared for a long journey - around 8 to 12 hours depending on which train you catch. Tickets can be bought at the station or online at 12go.asia/en
Take a shuttle bus from Surat Thani railway station to Don Sak ferry terminal - this route is included if you have purchased the train + ferry ticket.
