Agama Yoga is the biggest and most well-attended yoga school on the beautiful island of Koh Phangan, with three big halls and hundreds of students. This authentic Tantric and subtle style of yoga is said to be the original form of yogic science, which unfortunately is a lost art compared to today’s more gymnastic popular versions.
The school hosts a daily drop-in classes and one-month certificate intensives (8 hrs/day, 6 days/wk), where they offer lectures and yoga in the morning and evening in a retreat-like, supportive atmosphere of the campuus in Ao Srithanu area — a full day of tuning into this ancient art of slowing down. Integral Yoga courses have been their most popular offerings; they begin with an intensive one-month introduction to Kundalini, Laya, and Tantra Yoga, and evolve into a multi-year program entailing the deep and gradual revelation of these teachings.
