1. All Yoga Teacher Training Thailand
All Yoga Training’s main focus is Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga. Ashtanga mean’s ‘8 limbs’, which you will study alongside the physical practice; Vinyasa is pairing breath with movement. This style of yoga really aligned with what I generally did on my own mat at home or in classes. They also teach Yoga Philosophy, Anatomy/Physiology, and meditation- often with special guest teachers flying in.
All Yoga’s core group of teachers are very experienced, knowledgeable, patient, and respectful. They make sure to make you feel right at home while simultaneously making you push yourself and sweat! The curriculum is very comprehensive and can be found on their website.
As far as accommodations- All Yoga provides a free dorm for the first 10 people to sign up. If you’re not among the first 10 don’t worry, the dorm at the Beam is very inexpensive- you can also stay in one of their traditional or modern bungalows. As nice as the bungalows are, I recommend the dorm since it allows you to bond with the fellow students and create unforgettable experiences. I was also very drawn to the authentic feel the dorms had- much more exciting than staying at a pristin resort.
I truly felt like I got to experience Thailand the way it should be! Located in a lush jungle right up from the most stunning beach, All Yoga offers the best of both worlds. This training really has it all and is the perfect balance of hard work and fun- you’ll walk out with your certificate with enough confidence and energy to start teaching!

What All Yoga Training Graduate says:
Madeleine, UK
July 2022 Graduate
The overall Teacher Training was everything I could have dreamed and more. I learned so much, have made friends for life and it really is just the start of my yoga journey. The Vinyasa part was so creative. Really unlike any Vinyasa classes I’ve experienced at home. It gave me the opportunity to get creative with sequencing and have fun and not take it too seriously. I loved about the Yin part that I could connect with the emotional side of Yin, as that was something I haven’t experienced before and was a really great foundation. I didn’t expect to have such a strong connection with the other students and the teachers as well. Annie and Aaron created such an amazing space for all of us to grow and connect with each other while still have the space to connect to ourselves. If you consider doing the training, just do it! I don’t think there is a single one of us who has regretted it. We all have had such a positive experience in an amazing learning environment.
Alyssa, USA
July 2022 Graduate
Honestly I loved every minute of the training. The community of people were amazing, our instructors were incredible and I just couldn’t recommend it more. I loved about the Vinyasa part to being challenged creatively as I haven’t experienced that in yoga in the past. The physical and creative challenge was something I really appreciated and loved. I loved about the Yin the aspect of considering what the group is feeling in an intuitive sense, walking into the room and building a sequence around what people need and going through and helping to create a meaningful time for them. I was pleasantly surprised about the strong connection we all had and also overall I didn’t know I could physically do it. If you join the training you will never regret it. You only regret things you don’t do. Yes it’s far, it’s a long time to be away from the family, it’s expensive, but it was worth every second. I would do it all over again. Just do it, jump in!
