500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training

Fully dive into our comprehensive 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training program that seamlessly fuses our 200-hour and 300-hour training courses in a 10-week all-encompassing course. This intensive package is specifically designed for those who are looking for an immersive yoga experience to elevate their practice beyond asanas and delve into the nuances of effective teaching methodologies.

Throughout the training, you’ll dwell on the details of yoga asanas and unravel their anatomical underpinnings along with their effects on your energetic body. The study of ancient yoga philosophy will unlock the secrets of thousand-year-old wisdom, wrap the teachings into the right context, and explain the reasons behind the techniques employed.

Our guided meditation program is designed to deepen your introspective practice, preparing you for a life-long mindful journey pointing you in the direction of the goal of Yoga – self-realization.

The breathing exercises practiced in the progressive pranayama classes will raise your energy and teach you powerful Prana techniques to purify your body and mind from energy blockages.

Our experienced instructors will reveal invaluable teaching tips and lead you to create a safe space to guide your students on their spiritual path. With a focus on teaching methodology, our training course will help you develop the skills to correctly sequence a class, adjust and assist students, and respond to the unique needs of each student.

All this, in our private beachfront resort, surrounded by nature and the crystal-clear waters of a paradise island in Thailand with healthy plant-based meals served daily. Plus, as a special benefit, you will get 30-day free access to One Yoga Online Studio to help you keep up your practice, any time, anywhere thanks to our Yoga & Meditation App, featuring over 900 classes, courses, and challenges.

Our 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training is not just an educational program, but a transformative journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and professional development. Immerse yourself, evolve, and emerge as a certified, confident, and compassionate yoga teacher.

Our curriculum is designed to adhere to and surpass Yoga Alliance standards. Upon successful completion of the course, you will be qualified to register as RYT 500. This is the highest certification level recognized by Yoga Alliance, the largest professional organization for yoga teachers.

An RYT 500 certification will pave the way for a bright future in the yoga field, anywhere in the world. With a clear edge over the popular 200-hour training and the advanced 300-hour certification, a 500-hour certification opens the doors to outstanding career opportunities as a yoga teacher.

Newly-certified teachers may find it challenging to apply what they have learned in the controlled environment of a Teacher Training course to real-life yoga classes. This is why at One Yoga we offer the possibility of continuing the practical training by teaching free classes to the local community.

This is a unique opportunity for new teachers to grow their confidence, sharpen their teaching skills, and learn how to address specific student requirements. Our experienced teachers are always around and happy to answer your questions and support you every step of the way.

As you sharpen your teaching experience in a familiar environment, you also give back to the local community and share your passion for yoga with others.

The combination of our 200-hour and 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training courses gives you a seamless and profound learning experience. As the first-level training naturally flows into an advanced course, those who long to “know more” will feel completely satisfied.

One Yoga’s vision goes beyond teaching physical asanas as part of our holistic approach to Yoga as a multifaceted, comprehensive self-development journey. Our 500-hour training covers subjects such as pranayama, philosophy, mudras, bandhas, and meditation techniques with a particularly high level of detail.

As described in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, meditation is a cornerstone of spiritual practice and a way to liberation. As we tap into the real essence of Yoga, we will be dedicating increasing amounts of time to meditation throughout the 10 weeks of training.

As a matter of fact, many teachers who choose to further develop their teaching skills months or years after their first training course, find themselves in need of reviewing basic notions of yoga philosophy, anatomy, physiology, and specific technique details. The second part of this 500-hour training reinforces and deepens the concepts learned in the first part while your memory is still fresh.

As you develop a deeper bond with our teacher team and grow more familiar with the facilities and the space, you find yourself in a proficuous learning environment. On the other hand, our teachers will also get to know you deeper so they can tailor their supportive efforts to your specific needs.

Dedicating 10 weeks of your time to our intensive 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training course is a life-changing experience. It will shape your future as a fully qualified Yoga instructor, surpassing the standards of most entry-level yoga teachers in terms of preparation, confidence, and depth.

Throughout your learning journey with us, included in the course fee, you’ll be treated to a daily buffet of hearty and nutritious vegetarian meals. Kickstart your day with a healthy breakfast comprising tropical fruits, coconut yogurt, granola, or a filling serving of scrambled tofu.

The lunch buffet offers a multitude of options drawn from Thai, Indian, and Western kitchens, featuring a diverse range of salads, curries, and other dishes, all prepared with plant-based ingredients. Most of our food is vegan with several vegetarian options (clearly marked).

The first 4 weeks of the training, which correspond to the 200h TTC, will include breakfast and lunch on all teaching days. On non-teaching days or for dinner, you’ll be spoilt for choice with lots of nearby restaurants offering a wide array of healthy and typical Thai options.

The last 6 weeks of the course, which correspond to the 300h TTC, will also include dinner, every day.

Our instructors are dedicated and seasoned practitioners. They boast years of experience and expertise in yoga and meditation, and a deep-rooted personal commitment to their practice. They’re eager to share their skills with you, coming from a genuine, service-driven, and heart-oriented service.
