A transformative week of practice, learning, and rejuvenation by the sea
Deepen Your Practice: Immerse yourself in advanced asana, breathwork, and meditation while learning intelligent sequencing and authentic teaching methodology.
Train in Paradise: Experience world-class instruction within Samahita’s oceanfront sanctuary — where palm trees, salt air, and sunrise practices inspire inner balance and focus.
Holistic Wellness: Enjoy nourishing cuisine, restorative spa therapies, and space to reconnect with body, mind, and purpose in a naturally calming environment.
Community & Growth: Practice alongside a supportive group of aspiring teachers and practitioners, guided by the experience and mentorship of Dana Damara and Gillian Confair.
Why This Experience Matters
This one-week immersive module at Samahita Retreat offers more than yoga education — it’s a reset for the soul. Nestled on the tranquil southern coast of Koh Samui, the retreat blends traditional yogic study with modern wellness practices, creating the ideal environment for deep learning and transformation. Each day unfolds in rhythm with nature: sunrise meditation, dynamic morning practice, midday study, and evening reflection beside the sea. Whether you’re completing your 200-hour certification or advancing your personal journey, this experience renews your energy, strengthens your voice as a teacher, and reminds you why you fell in love with yoga in the first place.
The remaining hours can be completed online or in person in Marin County. We highly recommend you attend the final graduation weekend.

MINDFULNESS - THOUGHT LEADERSHIP - PURPOSEFUL LIVING
UNIQUE
This training is unique in that you don't just learn sequencing, methodology, philosophy, anatomy and technique. You learn all of that and ... since I've been trained by Byron Katie, Michael Beckwith, Louise Hay, Greg Brayden, Wayne Dyer, and Bruce Lipton ... you will also be introduced to thought processes for your mind, body and soul.
“I ask every trainee, ‘What is important to you? Why do you want to do this? What difference is it going to make in your life?’ Most people don’t know when they begin this spiritual journey but they find out pretty quickly, that’s for sure.” -
Dana Damara
“A yoga teacher is someone who links posture together for the sake of getting a good workout. A yogi(ni) sharing the love of yoga, is a person who embodies truth in action; who shares their passion and love for this practice with their whole heart every time they step on the mat; who uses the teaching platform not to be perfect or ‘better then’, but to be authentic to their imperfections. A yogi(ni) uses this life, this mat, this room, to share their passion with their world in order to heal the planet.”
Dana Damara
ADVANCED TRAINING PROGRAM
When you graduate from your 200 hour program - we would love to have you join us on the continuation of infinite learning. Our advance TT program offers programs for all levels of practitioners.
People ask me who my "teachers" are. I tell them... my daughters first, then Seane Corn, Shiva Rea, Janet Stone, and every lovely soul who has crossed my path.
Seane taught me to remember that this practice is about authenticity and service. Period.
Shiva Rea taught me to embody beauty and sensuality in everything I do.
Janet Stone taught me to remember that the magic bits are in the simple things, but mostly in my parenting.
This practice isn't just about sequencing a class ... you learn to envision your life in HD and then live in a more balanced, authentic way.
