Yoga Retreats & Trainings
on Koh Phangan
Beyond the Full Moon Party, Koh Phangan is one of Asia's serious wellness islands. 200hr Vinyasa teacher trainings, silent Vipassana sittings, breathwork immersions and tantra workshops run every month — mostly from the west-coast village of Sri Thanu. Below are the confirmed upcoming dates, pulled from each venue's own calendar.
What kind of retreat?
Yoga teacher training (200hr)
The island's flagship retreat format. Wonderland Healing Center runs 200hr Vinyasa YTTs on the west coast, The Sanctuary on Haad Tien offers Yin and holistic styles, and One Yoga runs 50hr Yin intensives. Most programmes last three to four weeks and run monthly — some include accommodation and meals. The west-coast yoga infrastructure, warm climate and relatively low cost of living make Koh Phangan one of Southeast Asia's most popular destinations for teacher certification.
Yoga teacher training guide → Indriya · Residential · No prior experience neededVipassana & silent meditation
Indriya on the west coast runs structured Vipassana retreats — multi-day silent sits led by Anthony Markwell in a residential setting. The format requires no prior meditation experience; the retreat itself teaches the technique. Silent retreats run alongside the island's busy yoga scene throughout the year. For a gentler introduction, One Yoga's Meditation Retreat offers a shorter residential week combining sitting practice and movement.
Meditation on Koh Phangan → NeuroSomatic · Indriya · Samma Karuna · 3–14 daysBreathwork & somatic workshops
A fast-growing category on the island. NeuroSomatic Breathwork runs 3-day foundation courses in breathwork and somatic release — accessible formats for first-timers. Indriya's 100hr Breathwork Teacher Training covers the modality in depth over two weeks. Samma Karuna offers somatic therapy workshops and tantra immersions in shorter weekend and week-long formats. These sit alongside rather than instead of yoga — many visitors combine a breathwork session with a longer movement programme.

Not everyone has four weeks. Shorter retreats run throughout the year at most centres. Samma Karuna's somatic and tantra workshops run over a long weekend or three days — practical for those fitting a retreat around beach and exploration time. One Yoga's Yoga Sadhana Retreats and Meditation Retreats run for approximately a week and suit first-time retreat-goers as well as regular practitioners. These formats carry lower cost and commitment while still offering the structure of a residential programme.

Read guide →Retreat FAQ
- When is the best time to do a yoga retreat on Koh Phangan?
- Year-round. Dry season (December–April) brings the calmest weather, but retreats run continuously — Sri Thanu's yoga scene, Vipassana sittings at Indriya and teacher trainings at Wonderland Healing Center happen every month. The green season (May–October) often has smaller groups and better rates.
- How much does a yoga retreat on Koh Phangan cost?
- Short workshops (3–5 days) typically run ฿5,000–15,000 ($140–420). Multi-week 200hr Yoga Teacher Trainings range from $1,500–3,500 all-in (accommodation, meals and certification often included). Budget guesthouses in Sri Thanu add from $20/night, and many YTT packages bundle accommodation.
- Which retreat centre is best for beginners on Koh Phangan?
- One Yoga in Sri Thanu offers welcoming Yoga Sadhana Retreats and shorter immersions well-suited to first-timers. Samma Karuna runs accessible drop-in workshops from a few days. For a silent retreat, Indriya's Vipassana programmes are well-structured — no prior meditation experience required.
- Where are most retreat centres on Koh Phangan located?
- The majority cluster on the west coast — especially Sri Thanu and nearby Zen Beach. The Sanctuary is further south on Haad Tien Bay (accessible by boat or a short hike from Haad Rin). All are within a 30–40 minute drive of each other.
- Do I need to book retreats in advance?
- Yes, especially for multi-week teacher trainings and Vipassana sittings — these fill weeks or months ahead. For shorter workshops (3–5 days) at Samma Karuna or NeuroSomatic Breathwork, a week's notice is usually fine. Confirm directly with the venue; dates can shift, so don't book non-refundable flights until you have confirmation.
