The southernmost region of continental Portugal, the Algarve is the country’s biggest and most important tourist region.
Due to the high quality of life, great weather, and cultural significance, the region is also sought after by expats from colder European regions. And is considered one of the world’s best place to retire.
The area has an Atlantic-influenced Mediterranean climate and is the warmest place in Southern Europe. While it has recorded scorching hot temperatures during summer, from June to September, the average high ranges from 26.4C (79.5F) to 29.2C (84.6F), although they can easily jump to 32–35C (90–95F) in the interior.
Despite its popularity, the Algarve still has some hidden gems that are perfect for a yoga teacher training course. You can stay in the heart of a nature reserve and have access to empty beaches, reconnect with yourself, slow down, enjoy your surroundings, and learn how to surf.
Doesn’t this sound like a great place to do your yoga teacher training course in Portugal?

Blessed with a Mediterranean climate, the islands have a moderate weather year-round. In July and August, the daytime temperature ranges between 22C (72F) and 28C (82F). And while the temperature may climb higher, even during heat waves, the temperatures won’t be higher than around 34-35C (93-95F).

The Golden State is, by far, the most popular destination for a yoga teacher training course in the United States.

Located in the northwestern region of the country, along the coast of the Pacific Ocean, Guanacaste is the most sparsely populated of all the provinces of Costa Rica.
It’s also incredibly beautiful featuring volcanoes, mountains, beaches, and splendid tropical dry forests.
Its climate is unique and has two seasons: a dry, hot one from November to April; and a wet and moderately temperate one from May to October. Sitting in the lowlands, Guanacaste has a dry, arid climate and even though there may be daily showers, the province is a lovely choice for a yoga teacher training course when during the colder country’s summer.
The average high temperature is almost the same year-round, but from June to August, expect it to stay close to 32C (89F). It may rain quite often (17 to 19 days each month) and the humidity is high (80-82%).
Whether you fancy striking asanas on the beach as the sun is rising (or setting) or you want to enjoy the natural surroundings in the national parks, you’d be delighted to find those and more at yoga teacher training courses in Guanacaste.
And that’s not all! The beaches also offer great opportunities to learn how to surf, and the hiking trails will lead you to spectacular waterfalls.

An island off the east coast of Thailand, Koh Samui offers a lovely mix of tropical jungle, mountains, and coastal areas. It’s the second-largest island after Phuket and a very popular tourist destination.
The jaw-dropping landscape, the lush green forests, and the strikingly different blue sea make Thailand a favorite destination for those seeking to do their yoga teacher training in Asia.
Koh Samui has a tropical monsoon climate, with temperatures above 18C (64 F) year-round. In fact, the average daily temperature is close to 28C (82F). The climate is warm and humid most of the year, so anytime you visit would pretty much be the same.

When in Koh Samui, you’ll be close to a beach no matter where you stay. There are plenty of opportunities to explore the island, soak up the sun, and, of course, strike your asanas on the beach.

Authentic yoga vibes, a healthy lifestyle, healthy food, splendid landscapes, and world-renowned yoga teachers make Bali a great choice for your yoga teacher training.
On top of that, Bali is still on affordable yoga destinations and most programs are significantly more budget-friendly than the ones in Europe or North America.
The famous Island of Gods provides a picturesque backdrop to any vacation. Ubud is the center of art and dance, whereas Seminyak is the pricier choice with more upscale resorts.
Located just 8 degrees south of the Equator, Bali’s climate is almost the same year-round. The average maximum temperature is 30C (86F) and the humidity reaches 85%. To get a respite from the heat, head into the mountains where the temperature greatly decreases.
During the Western world’s summer, Bali sees its busiest time of the year. It will be nosy and crowded so it might be best to look for training courses that take place in isolated places on the island.
If you are looking for a destination that is aligned with the yoga philosophy, is a wellness hub, and offers a lot of holistic spa experiences, on top of the gorgeous scenery, superb beaches, and great weather, then you should do your yoga teacher training in Bali.
