"Do your teacher training here!"
16 hours ago
New
I have just finished the 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training programme at Ananda and I have had the most incredible experience. I cannot recommend the training enough. Valerie and her team of wonderful teachers are professional, extremely knowledgeable and really go above and beyond to support you on the journey to becoming a Yoga teacher. It really is a journey and for me and my course mates, it really was transformational. The training, although rigorous, is outstanding and my Yoga practise is the strongest it has ever been. I feel as though something has shifted within my body and I have found all this extra space, not only in my body but also in my mind too. Valerie, Fern, Raj, Magda and all the other fantastic teachers really make you feel safe and supported. I’ve been working as a kids yoga teacher for 8 years and I am super excited to start teaching adults now as well. I feel as though the training has thoroughly prepared me. The accommodation, food, facilities and overall feeling at Ananda is truly exceptional. Thank you again for everything. If you’re thinking about doing this training, you should go for it!

"Highly recommended!!"
Lots of choice of different yoga classes. There was also a sound healing and a breathwork session. Great teachers! The rooms are basic, but completely fine. The food is good and the staff is very friendly.

"An Unforgettable Experience of Magic and Wonder"
The lessons, the group dynamics, the location, the staff, the teachers, the food—everything was simply wonderful and magical. The teachers did a fantastic job, creating an inspiring and welcoming environment for everyone. Our group collaborated exceptionally well, fostering a sense of camaraderie and mutual support. The meals were delightful, and the sunsets on the beach were unforgettable. It was an experience I will never forget.

The hotel is not in front of the beach but the restaurant affiliate to it is. You just need to cross the road and there you are.The food offer is good and go well with the yoga retreat. Every evening during your souper meal you can enjoy the sunset. The massage and sauna is perfect to relax the body even more.

"Fantastic revitalising stay at Ananda"
Ananda is not cheap but I think it is good value for money. You get high quality yoga tuition with a variety of teachers and styles of yoga, decent accommodation and the Shell is a great place to eat. I was really impressed by the food and drink on offer there, and the fact that it is ON the beach is brilliant.

"Für mich, rundum Perfekt! "
Die Anlage befindet sich in einem kleinen Park mit Schaukeln und verschiedenen Sitzmöglichkeiten zum verweilen.
Es wird sich in allen Bereichen sehr viel Mühe gegeben und die Mitarbeiter sind rund um alle sehr freundlich.
Mein Bungalow war klein und Gemütlich mit einer Hängematte auf der Veranda.
Es ist alles nicht mehr das neueste, aber absolut ausreichend und bequem.
Die Yoga Lehrer waren alle super, zu meinen Favoriten zählen Sarah, Emma & Valerie. Es gibt jeden Tag mehr als genug Möglichkeiten um verschiedene Yoga Arten kennenzulernen und man kann sich den Tag selbst gestalten.
Die gegenüber liegende Shell Lounge ist gemütlich direkt am Meer, wo man sich mit leckeren Shakes und essen verwöhnen lassen kann.

"Excellent yoga classes in a somewhat loud environment"
The yoga classes were led excellently and the teachers knew what they were doing. The food was very nice and the staff friendly and helpful. The sunrise that could be observed every night made eating dinner very special.

This is a self paced retreat so you choose what sessions to attend to which is great. With the individual room you get a daily free massage too. The food options were really good and loved the restaurant.

"BEST PLACE TO GET INTO YOUR YOGA ROUTINE"
Ananda is a fantastic place to either deepen your knowledge of yoga or start your journey from scratch.
I felt comfortable throughout my stay, learned so much, and truly had the opportunity to rejuvenate.
What I found particularly wonderful was the flexibility to structure your day as you wish. There was an extensive array of yoga and meditation offerings to choose from.
While I didn't participate in yoga teacher training, I can easily imagine that this is the perfect place for it! Here, you'll find an excellent value for your money!
The food at "The Shell" at the beach was superb, and the staff was always attentive and caring.
All the yoga instructors are outstanding and unique in their own way. I also loved that you could delve deeper into the practice with the offered workshops.
Luxury was certainly the pool, the massages, the steam bath, and the subsequent ice bath! Thanks to everyone for the wonderful week. I'll definitely be returning someday!
And I already recommended this place to all my friends and travel companions! :)

"Wonderful Experience"
We loved every second of our yoga retreat at Ananda :) We stayed für 5 days and we got so much more than we expected. There were plenty of yoga classes and workshops to choose from and the teachers were awesome. The food at the shell was very good and we loved the staff there. Definitely recommend Ananda Yoga and Detox Center for the full yoga experience and spirit on Koh Phangan. We would always come back! Thank you for everything 😀!

It was very relaxing and recharging for us, after 2 weeks travelling through Thailand. The accomodation was clean & nice. The yoga programm was extensive & we had many different yoga teachers, with many different levels & methode of instruction.
We were really proud to meet Sabina, which learned & helped us a lot for the basic yoga positions!
Thanks to Paola for her happy mood & friendly soul!
It was a pleasure, we will recommend you!

"Bliss at Ananda"
I felt that I more than got my money's worth with yoga teacher training at Ananda Yoga and Detox. Valerie has a wealth of knowledge and a love for yoga that shines through in her teaching. I was blown away by her ability to run the program and resort while still connecting with each of her students. Alona has so much dedication to her students' yoga practice and clearly cares deeply for others. Britt leads with a laid back and approachable nature. She loves to build others up. I left feeling confident in my ability to successfully lead yoga classes.

"fantastische Ausbildung mit fantastischem Essen "
Die Ausbildung hat mir sehr sehr gut gefallen, ich konnte sowohl meine eigene Praxis verbessern als auch viel über das Lehren von Yoga lernen.
Die Lehrer*innen waren gut ausgebildet und konnten ihren Stoff gut vermitteln
Die Lage war top, direkt am Strand mit Ausblick auf den Sonnenuntergang
Und das essen war sehr sehr gut! Ich habe mich jeden Tag auf die Mahlzeiten gefreut und es war immer frisch, gesund und abwechslungsreich. Auf meine vegane Ernährung wurde Rücksicht genommen und ich habe immer sehr leckeres Essen bekommen :)

"Not really a retreat"
The place is really nice, rooms are basic and could be cleaner but the resort is very welcoming a pretty, offers 2 shalas, herbal sauna, nice pool and a lot of chilling areas. The restaurant is also very good and the food is nice and tasty. The area is quiet so good to have a scooter to move around.

"HIGHLY recommend!!!"
This place was absolutely wonderful! Everyone on staff was so helpful and accommodating! I did the detox and I felt so good afterwards. It was a lot easier than I thought because they keep you so busy, you don’t have time to think about food! I really enjoyed my stay in the elevated bungalow and l will without a doubt be back for round two, three, four and more! Thanks so much guys!

"If you want to teach yoga, this is the place to go"
If you want to teach yoga, this is the place to go. You will walk away with the skill to teach a full 90 minutes yoga class by your own.
I could not have a better teacher, like Jonny who gave all this passion and knowhow in this course.
The food is super healty and tasty. The Resort comes with a pool and a sauna.
The staff is super helpful

"Bliss"
Ananda's teacher training cultivates a great bonding experience where Yogis see the best in each other. This program is not strict like a Sivananda Ashram, but there's a lot of information available to learn if you put the work in. Great food, great pool, great steam room, great staff. This program is not just about poses, its very well thought out and will provide you a plethora of information useful for every aspect of being able to properly teach Yoga.

The experience overall was life-changing. The program was rigorous and benefitted me immensely both physically and spiritually. It combines both aspecs of yoga in a smart and effective way. I left after the program feeling confident that I can start teaching but also very excited to do that.
