Thailand - the Perfect Yoga Teacher Training Destination

Yoga in Thailand: The Perfect Teacher Training Site

To see why yoga in Thailand is the perfect teacher training site, consider all the advantages Thailand has to offer. If the scenic surroundings and warm climate don’t impress you, the low cost of living and the high quality of life surely will. Thailand, also called the “Land of Smiles” has an open-minded culture and embraces visitors from all over the world.

About the Location
Yoga student teachers who train in Thailand will love the peaceful atmosphere. Thailand is located in the tropical climatic zone. There are basically just two seasons that are easy to distinguish. From June until September, there is the Rainy or Monsoon Season. This is followed by the Dry Season, which lasts for the rest of the year. Warm clothes are rarely needed because typical central and southern region temperatures are above 30ºC (~86ºF). It is a tropical paradise that provides an excellent atmosphere to study yoga.

About the Quality of Life
The lifestyle in Thailand is a more relaxed and easy way of life. Here you can enjoy the different islands, countless beaches, and a low cost of living, while neighboring countries are just a short journey distance away.

Life in Thailand is peaceful, not primitive. The Samui International Airport has daily flights from Bangkok, Hong Kong, Singapore, Phuket, and Kuala Lumpur. There are international hospitals, pharmacies, shopping and all the other comforts of home. Yoga teacher trainees who are new to Thailand will find that their stay in Thailand offers a serene way of life.

When it comes to relaxing the mind body and spirit, Thailand is the right place for seeking inner peace. Regular yoga and massages may very well be the reason Thai people are known for their hospitality and charm. Buddhist nations like Thailand typically have values that are a part of their daily lives. There are a host of temples and monasteries and most people regularly partake in some type of mind and body discipline. Some form of yoga is usually the popular choice.

About Thai Culture
In 2009, the population of Thailand was estimated at 65 million, the vast majority of individuals being of Thai ethnicity. Thai people have various cultural and social traditions. The food you can expect to eat differs from other foods mostly in its preparation. Thai food is known for its spicy flavor but chilli peppers are not mandatory. A common dish is pad thai. It consists of Pan-fried noodles, bean sprouts, garlic, ground peanuts, eggs, shallots and dried red chili. Sea-based cuisine is also common, with ingredients like fish, vegetables, and herbs being found all over market places and restaurants. Thailand’s staple food is rice, just like their Asian neighbors.

Thai cultural and social traditions are often manifested in the nightlife festivities and annual festivals. They include the Phi Ta Khon Festival (The Ghost Festival) and the Thai Beauty contests and Drum Parades.
