CENTERS OVERVIEW & INTERNATIONAL COURSE OPTIONS

Agama not only hosts its full curriculum on Koh Phangan in Thailand, it also operates branches in several countries where you may synchronize your course needs with the teaching schedule, or simply spend a holiday with your favorite Yoga school in the neighborhood!

We are a Yoga school primarily dedicated to bringing a clear spiritual path to as many people as we can and, within this goal, to serving our students’ education as fully as possible. To this end, we have created a system that allows students to study with us at their own convenience and pace of teachings. At our headquarters we offer the first three levels of our Yoga courses on a monthly basis year-round, plus intermediate/advanced levels (month courses 4-24) twice or more often per year. Students may choose to take their classes at one of our centers in India (Rishikesh or Dharamsala), Mexico, Colombia, Israel, the UK, Amsterdam, Budapest, any of our four locations in Canada (Ontario, Ottawa, Vancouver, or Northern BC), our Thailand main center on Koh Phangan, or at our Chiang Mai, Thailand, location. Additionally, we have teachers who teach independently at studios worldwide (such as in Greece, Berlin, other countries); international classes and ongoing activities are listed in the round-up below. See our International Calendar for workshops and retreats offered around the world.
