Finding the right space to go deep into Yoga in the hectic lifestyle of the west can be a challenge – and discovering a school or teacher that can introduce you to the more profound aspects of Yoga is often difficult.
Here at One Yoga – with the Buddhist roots of Thailand, the healing energy of the Island of Koh Phangan, and the calm, communal feel of our private beachfront resort – we aim to provide the perfect environment for you to go deep into the vast & transforming world of yoga.
On the foundation of our collective years of experience, we have created a unique Yoga Alliance-registered Teacher Training Course. This course incorporates a good balance between physical and spiritual yoga, both in theory and practice.
You will learn to teach both modern and traditional styles of yoga, both dynamic and meditative, in order to become a skilled and confident teacher. Our lectures about yoga philosophy, anatomy, and physiology will give you an understanding of yoga that is much deeper than you find in most other teacher training programs.
You will leave the training with a clear understanding of the essence of yoga and its higher purpose.
A Day in the Sadhana Retreat
The Sadhana Retreat has been designed to give you deep insights into yoga, while also allowing you to take time for yourself.
You will start your day with a well-rounded yoga class (including asana, pranayama, and meditation), followed by a nourishing breakfast. The philosophy classes will introduce essential yogic concepts to support your journey.
After a delicious lunch, you will be guided into a state of deep relaxation through Yoga Nidra - a form of meditation known as "psychic sleep." In the late afternoon, you'll get to enjoy one more yoga class, followed by silent meditation to finish the day on a peaceful note.
There will be multiple breaks throughout your day, during which you can relax at the private beach or explore the rest of the island.
Yoga classes: You will practice multiple yoga styles during the retreat, including Hatha, Vinyasa Flow, and Yin Yoga. The level and intensity of the class will be adapted according to the needs of the students. Variations for all levels will be offered, making these classes enjoyable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
Meditation: In the evening, you will join 45 minutes of silent sitting meditation. If you are new to meditating, their experienced meditation teachers will teach you a simple yet very effective technique. If you already have a personal meditation practice, you may continue it during these silent sessions.
Your teachers: Multiple teachers will teach the classes. They are sincere yogis with many years of experience and dedicated personal practice. They will share their various gifts with you from an authentic and heart-centered place of service.
What is Sadhana and Why Should You Have One?
Simply put, sadhana is a Sanskrit term used to refer to a regular spiritual practice. Sadhana is about being a better person and living a happy, meaningful, wholesome life through the cultivation of consciousness. A consistent sadhana is generally supported by practices such as asana, pranayama, and meditation. When you routinely apply mind, body, and spirit combined with the intention of spiritual growth, the result is a simple, natural way to surrender the ego, release attachment, and cultivate a sense of peace in your everyday life.
In essence, sadhana is the cornerstone of the discipline of yoga. Having a sincere and consistent sadhana will nurture all aspects of your life. When formulating your own sadhana, it is important to choose practices that work for you, a frequency and duration that you can easily integrate back into your everyday life. Sadhana means you are using everything as a tool for your well-being. This is what One Yoga's Sadhana Retreat is all about.
