West Koh Phangan Yoga and Therapy

There has never been so much choice and diversity in Koh Phangan before. There are so many great yoga centres, massage shops and other New Age treatments to try. The West coast of Koh Phangan abounds with expertise when it comes to asana, breathing techniques, qi gong, dance therapy, chakra balancing and so much more.

The only caveat is that this New Age / Self-Awakening / Transformation scene has become an integral part of the local economy. It seems every week the island sees a new charismatic Westerner arrive straight from India with awesome powers and an empty wallet. It is best to do your research, ask around and opt for introductory classes before committing a big chunk of money to your spiritual development. Many places charge over $1,000 for their courses. Below are brief descriptions of the various centres and massage houses broken down by beach.
