70 Day 500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Koh Phangan, Thailand

At 70 days, this is the longest listing in the collection — a fused 200-hour and 300-hour curriculum run together as a single 500-hour certification rather than two separate courses taken months apart. One Yoga’s teaching schedule on Koh Phangan runs 58 teaching days across ten weeks, with Sundays off and the final Saturday reserved for check-out; because the two tracks are combined, students don’t need an existing 200-hour certificate to enrol.

Accommodation runs 69 nights at the beachfront resort, booked as private or shared rooms depending on availability, with classes held in a sea-view shala. A vegan or vegetarian breakfast-and-lunch buffet is served on teaching days; dinner and meals on non-teaching Sundays sit outside the package, so budgeting for roughly ten weeks of evening meals and Sunday food is worth factoring into the total cost before booking. Group sizes run up to around 26 students.

Watch out: Ten weeks is a genuine time commitment, not a holiday with a yoga component — airport transfers, taxi transfers to and from the campus, travel expenses to Koh Phangan itself, visa fees, and insurance are all excluded, on top of the dinner gap above. Anyone weighing this against a standalone 200-hour course should factor in both the extra six-plus weeks away and the additional day-to-day costs.

On completion, graduates receive Yoga Alliance-accredited certification for the full 500 hours, a course manual, a graduation ceremony, a t-shirt and tote bag, and 30 days of free access to One Yoga’s online class library. An optional extended practicum and volunteer placement is available afterward for graduates who want to keep teaching on-site.

Insider Tip: Because dinner isn’t included, scope out nearby food options on Koh Phangan before arrival — with 58 teaching days back to back, sorting an evening meal routine early makes a real difference to how sustainable the ten weeks feel.

Cancellation is free, and with 280 reviews behind the 4.79 rating, this is one of the more heavily tested long-form trainings in the collection rather than a new or lightly reviewed offering.
