By extending the course to five weeks, Buddho Yoga can make the daily schedule a bit less study-intensive and more focused on living in the space of practice and supportive community. Not only that, this course also features a silent three-day meditation retreat on the third week, which will still include a morning yoga class. The daily schedule will consist of two three-hour sessions that are devoted to fulfilling the requirements for Yoga Alliance.

Accommodation at Suan Sati 1
Accommodation at Suan Sati is simple yet comfortable, perfect for yogis. The bamboo construction connects you to the local building style with this environmentally friendly material. You have the choice of either a longhouse dorm or a shared bungalow for two. Both have shared toilets and hot water showers located conveniently in the center of the mini village.
Bungalows
The bamboo bungalows feature high ceilings, wall fans, stylish mosquito nets, rattan bedside tables, spacious balconies, and lush beds to rest your body after those challenging yoga sessions. These are the perfect retreat after a long day of training the body and mind. The bungalows are shared between two guests grouped together by gender whenever possible. Private bungalows are sometimes available upon request.
Dorm
The dormitory sleeps eight comfortably with storage for your bags and items under the custom-built wooden bed frames. Fans keep things cool from the high ceilings, bedside tables provide a place for your personal items, and electrical sockets and reading lights for each bed invite you to read that next chapter. All this and the most comfortable mattresses around.
