28 Day 300 Hr Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training Course in Thailand

Twenty-eight days at Traditional Ashtanga Yoga Shala Phuket amounts to a working certification, not a beach holiday: 300 hours of Ashtanga-rooted instruction packed into the month, covering Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Yin and Kundalini across all classes and trainings, specialized workshops, and the materials needed to sit the course. A certificate follows successful completion, alongside pre- and post-course support once training ends.

No prior teaching experience is required to enrol, though a regular yoga practice makes the intensive pace easier to absorb. This is a full-time training schedule rather than a drop-in class format, running for all 28 days rather than tapering into rest days.

Accommodation is private for the full stay in Phuket, which matters on a month-long course — a private room to study and decompress between sessions is worth more here than on a short retreat. The shala supplies all the props needed — mats, blocks, straps, bolsters — along with a course manual, a school t-shirt and tote bag, and the certificate itself.

Meals cover breakfast and dinner plus an afternoon tea and snack, with vegetarian and vegan options — there is no included lunch, which fits a training schedule built around morning practice on a lighter stomach. A weekly oil massage is the one recovery inclusion built into the calendar; a separate 90-minute massage sits in the exclusions, so it is not a substitute for spa time beyond that weekly session.

Watch out: 19 reviews back the 4.93 rating — a strong average, but a small sample to weigh against a month-long, four-figure commitment.

Insider Tip: the school t-shirt and tote bag are souvenirs, not course essentials — pack for 28 days of daily practice and theory rather than assuming the kit covers everything needed.

Phuket’s international airport makes arrival straightforward, though flights themselves are excluded, along with tours, visa fees, travel insurance and personal expenses. Free cancellation runs up to 30 days before the start date, a reasonable window given the size of the commitment relative to a standard week-long retreat.
