11 Day 100 Hour Hatha & Ashtanga Yoga TTC in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Capped at ten participants, this 100-hour teacher training keeps its cohort small enough for the daily shatkriya (cleansing) and pranayama sessions to run with individual correction rather than group-only instruction. The curriculum runs Hatha and Ashtanga classes daily, backed by Yoga Anatomy and Philosophy workshops, mantra recitation, karma yoga, and a full set of textbooks, handouts, and the certification manual.

Accommodation is in wooden Thai-style bungalows without air conditioning, run by Yoga Vidya Mandiram outside Chiang Mai’s city centre. The listing frames the non-AC setup as intentional rather than a cost-cutting measure — guests stay closer to the outdoor temperature as part of the programme’s broader detox framing, and homemade herbal detox drinks are served alongside the standard three daily meals.

Watch out: air conditioning is explicitly excluded, and laundry runs at an additional charge — this is a no-frills teacher training built around study and practice, not a resort stay. Anyone sensitive to heat and humidity should factor that in before booking 10 nights without AC.

Days combine physical practice with theory: daily Hatha and Ashtanga classes sit alongside shatkriya cleansing practices, pranayama, relaxation and meditation sessions, and dedicated Yoga Anatomy and Physiology workshops plus Yoga Philosophy study. Karma yoga (selfless service) and mantra recitation round out the schedule. An excursion to nearby Buddhist temples and sightseeing on Thailand’s highest mountain range breaks up the study routine partway through the eleven days.

Insider Tip: the review count here is small — four ratings behind the 4.75/5 average — so it’s worth reading through Yoga Vidya Mandiram’s other Chiang Mai programmes for a broader sense of teaching quality before committing to an 11-day certification course.

All meals are vegetarian with vegan, organic, and Ayurvedic options. Textbooks, printed study handouts, and the full 100-hour training manual are included in the $1,100 price, alongside accommodation and the excursion. Airport transfers, flights, travel insurance, laundry, and any medical expenses sit outside that price. Cancellation terms are listed as free, though the booking page doesn’t specify an exact notice window. Chiang Mai’s airport connects to both domestic routes from Bangkok and direct international flights, though the 10-night non-AC commitment is worth weighing against shorter, more climate-controlled options before booking a full teacher-training course.
