The ‘Land of Smiles’ is calling upon yogis from far and wide to throw off the bowlines and sail far, far away. There is much vim to life in Thailand along the sun-kissed sea, into the rainforests of deep calm, and embedded in the heritage and history of the land. Yoga is the supreme journey of the Self, through the Self, to the Self which can find joy unbound here in the unending festivals of life.

There are umpteen reasons why Thailand is topping the charts as the location for yoga teacher training in Asia—a surrounding of pure nature, a culture vibrant with joy and brimming with year-round festivities, the aura of meditative peace which is the foundation of Theravada Buddhism in the land, and yoga of the roots carried forward seamlessly from India- the very land of birth of yoga.

To take a yoga teacher training in Thailand could be worth the while for beginners as well as advanced explorers of the art, those already certified withstanding, because YTT in Thailand is nothing like what you have experienced anywhere else in the world!

The Aura of Vipassana

Learning how to be peaceful in the face of a constantly changing universe, posing a thousand shades of challenges, is an art. This is the art of meditation. While there are different methods to meditate, all techniques lead to the same definitive question—how to be in equilibrium, how to remain untouched, unaffected but living in one’s full capacity even in the midst of a raging chaos. One who would know how to be like this would know moksha.

The spiritual vein of Thailand founded in Theravada Buddhism explores this question with Vipassana, meaning insight. In retaliation to distress and sorrow, the Buddha had simply asked us to “come and see”.

Go where?

 Into the deepest reaches of your ‘Self’.

How?

By embracing silence and simply becoming watchful of your own breath, as it goes in and then out.

In Thailand, you can discover the silently powerful aura of Vipassana everywhere- in nature, in the peaceful ways of the people, and inside the sanctuary of the yoga hall.
