Advanced Yoga Teacher Training
Deepen your practice with Vikasa's signature advanced yoga teacher training. The 300 hour YTT is ideal for students who have already completed a 200 hour training either at Vikasa or another academy.
Imagine a place where people openly surrender to waves of change and transformation. VIKASA means ‘evolution’ in Sanskrit. Join our tribe and embrace personal evolution in an inspiring environment. Raise your vibrations, find meaningful connection and experience transformation in your daily life. Yoga is not something you do. Yoga is your natural state.
There are several ways to join the VIKASA experience and kick-start your powerful and lasting lifestyle. Maybe you’ve been stuck for a while and you want to try a week-long healthy lifestyle immersion for the first time? Check out our Yoga Vacations which offer a gentle and enjoyable holiday that will actually leave you feeling refreshed. Maybe you’re already a warrior for health and you want to take your yoga practice to the next level? In that case a month-long yoga training would be the experience of a lifetime. If you can’t come to VIKASA right now, that’s ok! You can still get a taste of what we’re all about by downloading our lifestyle guide. Find the experience that is right for you and stop letting excuses get in the way of your own evolution. VIKASA is a global community connected by lifestyle. Our home is our beach-front yoga retreat in Koh Samui which hosts dozens of yoga retreats and events year round. When you visit our flagship location in Koh Samui, Thailand you’ll have a selection of four ways to experience personal evolution: Trainings, Retreats, Vikations and Programs. All four options provide inspiration for personal evolution, community immersion and healthy lifestyle. No matter which experience you choose, you will meet some amazing people, eat incredible healthy food and be surrounded by nature. Choose the path that’s right for you based on your schedule, level and lifestyle goals.Â

The Vikasa lifestyle was created to serve as your guiding hand through shifts in personal evolution. We developed a powerful set of tools which helps reap the maximum enjoyment of your journey. The benefits of the Vikasa lifestyle are often seen within the first 30 days. You’ll find you won’t get run down or sick as often as you used to. Your immune system will be strengthened. Your mind, body, and spirit will become stronger, and your confidence will skyrocket. Self-transformation is not something that anyone else can do for you. Friends and family may give you advice or encourage you to take a direction that will lead you to happiness, but at the end of the day, it’s your life and no one else’s. This is not to say, however, that this journey has to be a lonely one. When you start making small changes and understanding the effects of your thoughts and environment, you’ll reawaken something deep within you. With that kind of healthy foundation, who knows what you’ll be capable of? When you make small changes to your lifestyle a new energy will erupt from within you and your health will also become vibrant. Your skin will glow, you’ll feel alive, and you’ll find yourself being more present in the moment.Â
Become a certified yoga teacher and share your passion with the world. The Vikasa Academy offers yoga teacher trainings both in-person in Thailand and online. There’s nothing quite like a yoga teacher training in a tropical paradise surrounded by an abundance of healthy lifestyle and like-minded community. You’ll receive a certificate that allows you to teach yoga anywhere in the world. The friends you make during your training will have your back as you transform from student to teacher. Become a yoga teacher today and create your own dream job. Â
We believe self-realization and self-love create the best possible version of YOU. Only when you are living from your authentic self and looking after your mind, body, and spirit with self-love that you can unlock your true potential. In order to live optimally and have more energy to do the things you love, you must create a new set of values, beliefs, and attitudes that support the results you really wish to achieve. Of course, a positive attitude is a fundamental key to cultivate if you want an amazing life, however the Vikasa philosophy takes it a few steps further with a holistic healthy lifestyle. Evolution feels amazing. As you start to evolve during your yoga retreat or yoga teacher training in Koh Samui, Thailand, some people around you will suddenly seem to be on a different vibration. You will branch out naturally into new circles. The new people you will start to attract will be healthier and happier people. When you tap into your deeper energy, you’ll unlock a powerful force which is mirrored in those around you. You’ll have a spring in your step with more energy and enthusiasm to live your healthy life the way it was meant to be lived: full of wellness and self-care. Your confidence will rise, your mind will clear, and you’ll feel a deeper sense of self.
Whether you prefer a yoga teacher training in Thailand or you want to try it online, you might first sample our method for free. We adapted our entire 200 hour foundation level training into a comprehensive online course, filmed live with real students in Koh Samui. Immerse your curiosity in the ancient texts of Hatha Yoga Pradipika and Bhagavad Gita, giving understanding of the roots of yogic philosophy. Breathe in the teachings of panayama techniques such as kapalabhati, nadi shodhana, bhastrika and others. Gain new mantras in Sanskrit and practice chanting plus kriyas – ancient purification techniques. Get in touch with your true self, realise your true potential, awaken your intuition, stimulate your creativity, feel love and create peace. Many of our students go on to open yoga studios of their own, while others opt to teach at festivals around the world.Â
