Student Testimonials
Every class felt different... one day flowing, the next deep and still. It kept me curious the whole time.
Peaceful without being boring, structured without being strict. Just… the right balance.
It’s the kind of place where you can hear the wind in the trees while you’re focusing on your yoga pose. Quiet magic.
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.
