100 Hour Yin Yoga Retreat @ VIKASA 8 - 22 DECEMBER 2019
The 100 Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training Course takes place at VIKASA Yoga Retreat on the tropical island of Koh Samui, in the Gulf of Thailand. It is said to be built upon a bed of rose quartz crystal, giving it a unique healing vibe, perfect for Yin Yoga. Koh Samui is a lush, green island and you’ll be surrounded by soothing plant-life such as coconut trees, banana leaves and the perfumed scent of frangipani flowers. You’re never far away from fine, white-sand beaches, clear azure ocean and breathtaking natural waterfalls set amidst thick jungle.

Alicia Casillas is a true Yin Yoga teacher. While some practitioners teach dynamic yang yoga with a bit of yin on the side, Alicia specializes in yin as the core of her teaching style. With her soft and soothing Spanish aura, Alicia has the perfect tonality for a relaxing yin session. But more importantly, what comes through in her voice and approach is her authenticity and her genuine care for her students. Her classes usually play to the sublime sound of singing bowls or beautiful ambient music. This helps her create a sacred space for her students to absorb her instruction.

Alicia has been practicing and teaching around North America, Europe and Asia for more than 10 years. She is an experienced and certified yoga teacher (E-RYT 500) and a Continuing Education Provider with Yoga Alliance. In her impressive professional athlete-turned-yogi career she has completed over 300 hours of trainings with Yin Yoga Master Sarah Powers, Tina Nance and Jamie Clarke. She has also attended several anatomy and physiology trainings in different healing modalities such as cranio-sacral and reiki. Her range of expertise gives her classes a holistic understanding of the body, mind and energy.

We welcome you to join us, no matter what your background, experience or intention once you’ve completed the course. Our teaching program includes daily yoga practice, lectures, workshops, time to practice teaching skills and techniques, and adequate rest and relaxation. Unlike a local Yoga Teacher Training, where you go to classes and otherwise live in your normal surroundings (with the stress and responsibilities that come with it), this course is designed to be all-inclusive and immersive, so you can focus purely on your growth for the life-changing time you are in Thailand.
Your Yin Yoga training includes a variety-packed, healthy buffet for breakfast and dinner, served at VIKASA Life Cafe. You’ll eat in a beautiful setting, with a stunning view across the ocean, where you’ll be able to socialize with fellow students. You will be well nourished during your stay as our meal programs are specially designed for those attending intensive trainings. Each day is planned so you have the required amount of each food group to supply the nutrition you need to fuel your body for optimum performance.
Life Café serves fresh, local and organic food and has vegan and vegetarian options every day. Alongside our main dishes, we have a variety of soups, salads, breads, fresh fruit and vegetables, home-pressed fruit juices, home-made teas and every other day, a delectable dessert such as our ever-popular mango sticky rice. You also have the option of ordering from our menu, where you can sip from the sweetest fresh coconuts! Not to mention our raw chocolate treats and a selection of sumptuous super-food smoothies – all freshly prepared on-site.
VIKASA offers a wide range of accommodation to suit all budgets which brings us a diverse community of people from all walks of life. Our Beach Bungalows are located beside our private beach and for those wanting more “hotel-style” we have Ocean Standard and Ocean Superior accommodation.
All rooms contain air conditioning and are cleaned regularly by our friendly staff, to ensure your stay feels like home away from home. You have full use of the entire VIKASA on-site facilities. You’ll be settled in to your own little bubble of yogic paradise, including a stunning infinity pool, three mini pagodas overlooking the ocean (where you can deepen your practice alone) and a secret beach for VIKASA residents only. There’s also free Wifi, spa, Life Café and Sky Gym.
