As the world slowly reopens, we open our doors and our hearts with gratitude. It’s time for revival. It’s time to shake off dormant energy, get back to the mat and back to life. True freedom is having a full heart, open mind and peaceful vibration.

Vikasa is where passion meets paradise.

You’ll practice ancient lineages of yoga while perched on a cliff-side overlooking the glimmering, azure sea. You’ll connect with genuine people and rediscover your inner self while gaining skills and confidence to teach safely and passionately.

Spend five weeks deeply immersed in serious authentic yoga practice led by world class facilitators, in a supportive environment created for evolution. Our 300 hour advanced Yoga Teacher Training course takes the yoga teacher or advanced yoga practitioner to the next level. The 300 hour course is registered with the Yoga Alliance. Upon successful completion, graduates can obtain RYT500 certification assuming prior RYT200 certification.

Here at Vikasa Yoga Academy, our core values are expressed in the same way consciousness expands.

This expansion starts with the self, it grows through our minds, bodies and energy until we are powerful motivators of connection and manifestors of change. This shift attracts like-minded people who strengthen communities and empower the world around us. The Advanced Yoga Teacher Training in Thailand is structured around various techniques, vastly ranging according to the expertise and wisdom of our diverse team while always connecting to these core values.

We believe in the power of self-initiative, self-love and personal evolution. The only way to truly have an impact on the world is to start with our own vibration.

We believe in the potential of community; that a small group of like-minded people have the ability to change the world. We believe that those who have a position of power have a responsibility to help those in need.

We actively reach out to our community and try to improve what we see.

The idea of ‘reaching out by reaching within’ is at the heart of our Yoga Teacher Training program – equipping you with the skills, knowledge and confidence to connect with others and teach the benefits of yoga, so that others may experience the transformative effects.

Even if teaching is not your goal, we know that you are a conscious individual with the desire to expand your practice and embrace a yoga lifestyle. Are you ready to evolve?

What I Will Learn - Your 300 Hour Curriculum

What I Will Learn

Evolution of Yoga – Kosta Miachin

Kosta refined his practice and teaching of yoga over two decades of experimentation with a number of styles and schools of yoga. The result of this experimentation and refinement is the Vikasa Method. In this module, “Evolution of Yoga”, Kosta leads practices (pranayama, kriya, meditation and asana) which are long and deep – the culmination of years of thoughtful practice, they are not simply physical practices but designed to work on all layers of the practitioner’s being, primarily the often forgotten energetic layer. The practices are physically and mentally challenging, and come with energetic payoffs hardly ever experienced in modern yoga. This module also includes a series of lectures in which Kosta traces the Vikasa Method back to the origins of yoga and situates it within that context and the relevant lineages. The lecture series also dives deep into the rationale behind the Vikasa Method providing a clear and scientific basis for all of the practices and an explanation of the effects.

You will learn:

From Gross to Subtle – Rama & Shakti

Health and well-being of the physical body are paramount in pursuit of greater spiritual evolution. As students, Shakti and Rama have studied with circus performers, Ido Portal trained functional movers, contortionists and classical yogis alike. In their collective module, From Gross to Subtle, Shakti and Rama offer expertise and insight into the optimization of the physical body. Learn to build strength, increase flexibility, access greater coordination and more advanced expressions of yoga asana. Progress within the science of yoga moves from gross to subtle; physical to non-physical. This module builds from the ground up and serves as a stepping stone for greater growth. By optimizing physical ability, we begin to access a gateway to deeper experience and that which exists beyond the physical body.




You will learn:

The Art of Sequencing – All Teachers

All Vikasa Senior Teachers have their own individual take on the Vikasa Methodology and Vikasa sequencing principles. In this module, the teachers explain their different interpretations and show you how to sequence effectively and creatively using this methodology but with your own unique flavour. Kosta explains the genesis of the “intelligent freestyle” method. Mikey shows how to create sequences within that framework that are anatomically intelligent as well as fun. And Niki & Michael show how more flowy, vinyasa-style classes can be sequenced using the same principles. The teachers present a clear framework for their approach so that students can understand and replicate in their own teaching.

You will learn:

Deepen & Diversify – Mikey Lazano

Mikey is interested and stimulated by deep physical practice as well as unique techniques and practice modalities that are no longer widely practised within the yoga community. In this module, “Deepen and Diversify”, Mikey takes us on a journey through both of these passions. In Deepen, Mikey leads practices that are complex and physically challenging, designed for advanced practitioners. In Diversify, he leads a series of unique practices (Cross Mat, Mudra/Bandha, Full Surya Namaskar, Partner Yoga) and runs workshops and lectures where these practices are broken down and explained for those wishing to practice in that way themselves. The basics of teaching these practices are also explained.

You will learn:

Higher Yoga – Alex Vyazovov

Alex presents ancient yogic wisdom in a way that is digestible for a modern mind, and thus helps students make their practice more meaningful.

Since all Yoga traditions agree that cultivating the right view is the key ingredient to success on the spiritual path, Alex places focus on Yoga philosophy, and offers meditative exercises that help to embody it.

You will learn:

Making Magic – Niki & Michael

“Making Magic” is a module designed to help teachers find (or rediscover) their inspiration and passion for practising and teaching yoga. Niki and Michael lead (and teach you to teach) “transformational experiences” that are not standard yoga asana practices – dynamic meditations, dance, eye-gazing, guided relaxations, group bonding sessions – but are powerful and transformative for practitioners, and unique and interesting offerings for those leading retreats, trainings or “special occasion” type classes. This module also includes detailed exposition of other key (but often forgotten) advanced teaching skills such as touch, voice and holding space.

Kosta Miachin

Founder & Lead Yoga Teacher

Kosta’s journey into yoga has taken him to the far reaches of the world, from remote Himalayan ashrams, to his initiation by a master monk in a sacred Sak-Yant ceremony in Thailand. Kosta has undergone extensive training and was certified with five different schools: Yoga 23, Sivananda Yoga, Mysore Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, Andiappan Yoga and Universal Yoga and maintains close ties to many other yoga schools around the world. The vision for Vikasa Yoga was born upon realization that the deeper dimension of yoga is a spiritual journey and a conscious evolution of the individual. Seeing this as the ultimate human endeavor, he committed his life to supporting others on this path and has been teaching yoga for over 20 years now.

Healthy Dinner at Vikasa Life Café

Vikasa mornings are magical with meditation and practice before a robust brunch in a community setting at the Vikasa Life Cafe. Throughout the day, you’ll have a mix of structured group activities such as lectures or workshops, as well as solo downtime and freedom to explore this island paradise. There are 6 days of training per week with 1 day off, usually Sunday. End each day with a relaxing lemongrass tea listening to the island breeze. Sample our YTT for free online to get a taste of daily life at Vikasa. The sound of the tropical birds, the taste of the fresh fruits and the aroma of the flowers? You'll just have to imagine those for now.

Yoga Retreat With Accommodation In Thailand

Vikasa Yoga Retreat in Koh Samui offers several types of accommodation ranging from simple eco-friendly bamboo bungalows to full-sized rooms. We are not a one-size-fits-all kind of place. Our rooms are modestly priced because we believe this range of accommodation allows for a wider range of students to attend the course. We are a relaxed establishment where you can unplug and reconnect to something deeper in a meaningful way.
