A Life-Changing Journey Begins Here
For 25 days, you’ll wake up surrounded by Chiang Mai’s quiet gardens, the sound of birds at dawn, or the soft rain tapping against the leaves. Each morning begins not with rush or noise, but with space for your body, your breath, and your own rhythm.
At Luminaria Yogashala, our Yoga Teacher Training is more than a course. It’s an immersion into practice, self-inquiry, and teaching from the heart. You won’t get lost in a big hall or sit in the back row of a lecture. Here, your teachers know your name, see your practice, and walk beside you.
It’s not only about becoming a yoga teacher, it's about coming back to yourself and carrying that clarity into every class you’ll ever guide.
At Luminaria Yogashala, our Yoga Teacher Training Course (YTTC) is more than a certification. It's a deep return to yourself.
We were a small group of only five people, which made the classes particularly intensive and personal.
I have never experienced such wonderful yoga instruction: inspiring, mindful, and perfectly tailored to us.
Truly the most beautiful location, with amazing owners and authentic yoga classes and trainings.
After researching yoga courses in Chiang Mai, I chose this place because the environment is incredibly calming and truly perfect for relaxation. I feel it’s absolutely worth both the time and the price.
