Thai Vedic 200 Hour Holistic Yoga Therapy Teacher Certification offers a unique training; drawing wisdom from the traditional systems of Ayurveda, Yoga and Thai Massage, with the most powerful holistic therapies of today.
This is different from a regular Yoga Teacher Training, as it equips you with skills to offer the most individualised and effective treatments and classes; allowing you to assess and treat based on spirituality, psychology, metabolism, nutrition, and structure.
Our courses are IPHM (International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine) certified. You will gain an internationally recognized qualification, enabling you to practice holistic therapies around the world. Our training also offers Yoga Alliance 200 hour YTT Certification.
For your personal evolution, the 28 days training is an opportunity for you to immerse in an Ayurvedic self-care practice: supporting you for a transformative spiritual experience.
Who is the course for?
- Teachers, practitioners or therapists wanting to advance their professional skills. Although all knowledge is taught from an entry level and proceeds to advanced; complete beginners might find the curriculum and intensive learning style challenging if they do not have a present foundation in either yoga, Ayurveda, bodywork or other holistic therapies.
- Individuals wishing to learn healing arts to help themselves and others. If you wish to better understand your own body plus understand those around you; and be equipped to help yourself and your loved ones through movement therapies, holistic lifestyle wisdom, and living spiritually purposeful lives. At ThaiVedic we envision a healer in every home.
- Those wishing to practice Yoga Therapy to help people, whether at home or while travelling the world. Our school is a registered training provider with IPHM (The International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine), which allows students to practice internationally.
- Those who understand that Yoga is far more than asana (physical postures and exercise), and wish to receive a holistic foundation in a variety of yogic practices including meditation, mantra, bandhas, and more.

- While students can receive a Yoga Alliance 200hr certification through attending this training; if you only wish to teach Yoga Asana/yoga-studio style classes; there may be other courses more focused to your needs. While we do teach Yoga asana (poses); it is not the sole focus of this training. We focus on all aspects of yogic lifestyle and therapies. For a teacher training focused on Asana and Hatha Yoga, please see the Strength & Grace Yoga programs led by our co-founder Barbra Noh.
- Those who understand that 200hrs of practice and training time will not make you a specialist or expert in the system. Although most participants will have developed life-changing skills and be able to help people as soon as they finish; the journey of mastery will happen over time and you will need to continue practising if you wish to be a specialist in any specific field.
- Those who aspire to a growth mindset, who love learning and evolving; and are prepared to grow over time with a community who shares and supports your growth. Those who are people-focused and care about others, want to work with individuals and groups, and help the world by sharing practices that increase awareness and healing.
- This is an education and training focused event; not intended to be a healing retreat. It is an intensive course and may not be ideal for those seeking a personalised healing treatment. For an event that is focused on YOU and your personal healing; check out Vitality Now Ayurvedic Detox Program led by our co-founder Kimmana Nichols.
