Experience an Authentic Yoga Journey
WITH SUNNY YOGA IN KOH PHANGAN
At Sunny Yoga, a charming boutique school founded by the remarkable Thai yoga teacher, Sunny (Sunsanee) Intaphong, our school is a true gem nestled on the tranquil shores of Koh Phangan. What makes us truly special is that we’re the only yoga school in South Thailand led by a Thai woman.
She doesn’t just teach from books; her lessons are drawn from her rich life experiences. Sunny’s approach is down-to-earth, focusing on genuine self-improvement rather than quick fixes. She guides you on a journey to become the best version of yourself through dedication, practice, and a touch of lightheartedness.
small group
We keep our class sizes small to provide personalized attention, 15 students maximum. Our intimate class sizes create a close-knit community, allowing students to connect deeply with their practice. After training, you’ll have the freedom to craft your own sequences, a testament to Sunny’s commitment to nurturing your growth.
LOCATION
The training takes place on a tropical island Koh Phangan at the Siam Healing Center located in Thong Sala, the main town of Koh Phangan, Thailand. Siam Healing Center is famous for its Art Market where local artists come to showcase their art and craft.
