22 Day 200hrs Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training in Phuket, Thailand

Twice-daily Mysore and led Ashtanga practice sets the pace at this 22-day, 200-hour teacher training run by Traditional Ashtanga Yoga Shala Phuket. Mornings begin at 7:30am with self-practice or guided asana, followed by a vegan brunch; afternoons move into adjustment and alignment methodology, yoga nidra, pranayama, and lecture blocks; evenings close with meditation, chanting, and dinner, with kirtan and film nights breaking up the routine. The curriculum draws on Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, and Ashtanga styles rather than sticking to a single lineage, which suits students building a broader teaching toolkit rather than a narrow Mysore-only certification.

Accommodation is private rather than shared, which matters more than usual on a three-week course running self-study and adjustment practice alongside daily lectures — a room to retreat to between sessions is genuinely useful when the schedule leaves little downtime. The training is based in Phuket, reachable via the island’s international airport, though flights, visa fees, and travel insurance sit outside the course fee.

Watch out: Meals cover brunch, an afternoon snack, and dinner — there’s no separate breakfast or lunch service, so the gap between dinner and the following morning’s early Mysore session is long. Anyone who needs food before practice should plan to bring their own.

The course leads to Yoga Alliance (or equivalent) registration on completion, along with a course manual, mats, blocks, straps, bolsters, a school t-shirt and tote bag, and specialised workshops covering adjustment, alignment, and yoga therapy. Pre- and post-training support is available for students working out logistics before arrival or questions after they return home. Cancellation is free up to 30 days before the start date, useful given how far in advance many students need to book a 22-day block of time off.

At 4.93 out of 5 from 19 reviews, the training reads as consistently well-regarded, though a review count this size is worth weighing against personal fit rather than treated as a guarantee. The traditional Mysore method rewards students willing to self-practice and take correction; it isn’t built for a casual, drop-in approach to yoga.

Insider Tip: Twice-daily practice in Phuket’s heat and humidity goes through more kit than a standard week away — pack extra practice clothes rather than relying on laundry turnaround during a packed 22-day schedule.
