10 Day 100hr Trauma Informed Yin Yoga & Meridians TTC in Thailand

If you’re drawn to the gentler, more introspective side of yoga, this 10-day trauma-informed yin yoga teacher training combines ancient wisdom with modern therapeutic understanding. Your days will flow between daily lectures exploring trauma-sensitive teaching methods, hands-on practice sessions working with meridian lines, and certification coursework that qualifies you to teach this specialized style. The program weaves together Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, and Restorative practices, giving you a comprehensive toolkit. Expect morning classes, afternoon theory sessions, and evening integration time, with group excursions breaking up the intensive learning schedule.

Koh Phangan provides the perfect backdrop for this deep dive into yin practice. You’ll be based at Wonderland Healing Center, where the fully equipped yoga shala becomes your second home for those long theory sessions and gentle movement practices. The island’s tropical energy supports the introspective nature of yin yoga beautifully. Your accommodation options include both private and shared spaces, and you’ll have access to a refreshing pool, steam room, and cold plunge – perfect for recovery between those longer floor-based sessions.

This training welcomes all levels, which I’ve found creates a wonderfully supportive learning environment. The 4.85-star rating from 276 reviews speaks to how well the program serves both complete beginners and experienced practitioners looking to deepen their understanding. That said, if you prefer high-energy, fast-paced yoga styles or aren’t interested in the therapeutic aspects of practice, this might feel too slow or cerebral. The trauma-informed approach requires emotional openness and self-reflection that some people find challenging.

The daily vegan and vegetarian buffet keeps you well-fueled with organic options throughout your training. Beyond the three main meals, you’ll have constant access to water, tea, and coffee – essential during those intensive study periods. Your investment covers nine nights of accommodation, all meals, your course manual, certification, and registration with Yoga Alliance. The pre and post-retreat support from the team is particularly valuable when you’re starting to teach. You’ll need to budget separately for flights, airport transfers, travel insurance, and any additional treatments you might want.

Insider Tip: Pack layers for the yoga sessions – yin poses involve long holds that can leave you feeling cool, especially in air-conditioned spaces, but the tropical climate means you’ll want lighter options for breaks and excursions.

Getting to Koh Phangan requires a ferry journey, but the retreat includes taxi transfers from the ferry port, which eliminates that arrival stress. The free cancellation policy gives you flexibility if your plans change. WiFi connection keeps you connected, though I’d recommend using it sparingly to get the full immersive experience. The tropical climate means you can visit year-round, though the cooler, drier months from November to March tend to be most comfortable for extended floor practices.
