“You reach a point in life where it’s time to take your yoga seriously. Ask yourself, why not? This is what you love, right? Yoga doesn’t have to be just a hobby. You can build a life and a career with yoga. If I can… trust me, you can too.”
- Lucas Rockwood (ERYT 200)
GOT QUESTIONS?
Q: Does this mean the course is full?
A: No, we simply get overwhelmed with applications so students are accepted in batches until the course is full. Currently, it is still possible to join the next course—but do get on the list.
Q: So I just sign up—that’s it?
A: No, everyone must go through the complete application process. The application is not complicated at all, but again, we get so many applications, we can only consider completed applications which includes your photo and recommendation letter.
Q: Why do I need a photo?
A: So our teaching team can recognize you when you arrive.
Q: Why do I need a recommendation letter?
A: We simply need your yoga teacher, your boss, or even a personal friend to write us a quick note expressing that they too think you’d be a positive person and a good candidate for the course. It can be just a few sentences, but it is important. Please have your reference email it to info@absoluteyogasamui.com
Q: What if I have questions?
A: We love to hear from prospective students. Call or email us anytime.
WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING…
“I’m About to Teach My First Class…”
Before starting yoga, I worked long hours in a stuffy office. Looking back on it, the work wasn’t healthy for me. I was always stressed and unsatisfied. I decided to try yoga. I will never forget my first yoga class—how challenging, refreshing, and invigorating the whole experience was. It changed my life.! After practicing for 6 months, I decided to take a chance and join the teacher training course… and now, I’m about to teach my first class! I feel so lucky because now, I’m now able to share something I love with others. This common energy and connected passion is what inspires me. It’s contagious!”
