Our lead teacher Coco, was certified in the traditional Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga system of Tirumala Krishnamacharia, who is often referred to as the “father of modern yoga” and widely regarded as the one of the most influential yoga teachers of the 20th century. She is accompanied by Astrid, who has over 1500 hours of Yoga Alliance certified trainings, specialising in anatomy, physiology and a truly holistic practice, having immersed herself in the ashram’s of India where she lived for 5 years.
Herbologist and Co-Founder of Orion, Daliah Barkan will be sharing her passion for plants, flowers and their power to cleanse and heal, working with guided journeys, creating tinctures, and exploring how plant-based nutrition supports our healing and ascension for receiving the energies of higher vibration that support us in the roles of teacher and healer so we can work intuitively, safely and with self-care. Daliah’s mission is to help people understand that “the greatest medicine of all is to teach people not to need it.”
Grand Reiki Master and Co-Founder of Orion, Ari Barkan will be sharing how to give Reiki to yourself and others, to balance chakra’s and connect to the Divine Source, so you can "get out of your own way” and let the light, and energy of unconditional love in to work through you and for you, helping your fears and insecurities melt away. He describes this practice as the “wordless language of the heart” which we all speak, uniting and inviting us into expanded consciousness; something that’s much needed at this time.
Located in the village of Srithanu, on the magical, crystal island paradise of Koh Phangan, we are a short walk or drive to perfect white sandy beaches, waterfalls, temples, jungle hikes, snorkelling, diving, ecstatic dance and fabulous restaurants serving everything from pizza to freshly caught fish, as well as an incredible array of healing arts offerings from the local yoga and wellness community.
We are dedicated to and passionate about cultivating a transformational environment that fosters kindness, care, and a community of peace and well-being, where the mind, body, spirit and heart are united for the good of all beings on this precious earth that we call home.
Be bold. Join us to take the next step on your yoga journey. Even if you’re terrified of coming off your mat to the front of the room, we’ll guide you into your greatness, supported by a loving community who will likely become your life-long friends and professional allies. You can do it!
We are also offering a 4 day pre-training Orion signature detox to help restore your body’s natural self-healing ability, to purge toxins giving you a clearer mind, heightened intuition, emotional and physical cleanse, allowing for more positivity and potential to enter your life.

“I have done TTC in Orion and it was one of the best experiences in my life (the other one is Detox Retreat also in Orion!!). Based on Detox retreat I have decided to join TTC and it gave me so much not just for becoming a yoga teacher but in my personal life and more. Ewa and Ben are great techers, I met amazing people, the food there is full of nutrition and love and the island byself is such a wonderful place. I would recommend it to everyone and if I could I would do it again just for the experience! Thanks again:-)”
Petra F
“Did my 200hr YTTC with Ewa and Ben last November and it was the experience of a lifetime! If you are thinking of signing up for the course, look no further. I mean, no jokes, you will work hard, but gosh, it will equip you with everything you need to actually teach yoga. Since my course, I’ve guided a few yoga workshops and small classes and had great responses. Ewa, the main teacher is absolutely incredible; a hurricane if knowledge, assertiveness, and unapologetic discipline, but also of infinite love, kindness and sensitivity. She will capture everyone in her vortex, so stay prepared! The centre itself is so beautiful, right by the sea. The food is incredible and super nutritious. You will live unforgettable memories at Orion, I genuinely cannot wait to go back!!!”
Francesca M
“Doing my TTC at Orion is one of the best experience of my life! Ewa is an amazing teacher. She is very sensitive, intuitive, ressourceful and wise. Her hands-on corrections are the best. Plus, Orion Center is a little paradise on Earth. If you want to increase your Yoga practice in multiple ways, this is your place to be :)”
Marialine,
"I have just completed their 28 days Ashtanga TTC and it was everything I had hoped for and more.
They have a lovely, peaceful stretch of land right on the beach which has three shalas, dozens of bungalows, a vegan restaurant, Balinese-style beach huts, a steam room, a sauna, massage rooms and much more. They also provide cleansing retreats, fasting, detox, holistic therapy and Reiki. Almost every night they have workshops including classes on writing, authentic communication, movie nights, sound healing etc, etc. Some of these workshops are free, some are donation based but all are optional and worthwhile.
More than just the facilities and courses on offer however, is the welcoming and loving energy that you feel as soon as you arrive. You quickly become part of the family which is why so many people return after their training has finished. The staff are the most friendly and helpful I have ever encountered, their food is honestly the best I have ever eaten (breakfast and lunch buffet is provided for the teacher training and it is simply delicious), and Daliah, the owner, personally looks after you.
Our Teachers were experienced, wise and patient. I felt safe and comfortable at all times and learned so much in such a short time. And that is perhaps my only complaint: that it was too short. After 28 days, I wanted the course to continue. We all wanted it to continue, all ten of my class members. We will always remember this place. We will always remember this time. And we will always return.”Mark McLinden, November 2018
"I came to Orion for a yoga teacher training, which also included a short detox. I chose to do my training at Orion because of the variety of the program, which included herbology and reiki initiation. The yoga training was the only ashtanga and I was fortunate to have an exceptional teacher, Coco. The herbology sessions with Dahlia were equally amazing. I truly learned so much about yoga, reiki, herbs, and about myself. The course also included many different evening activities such as kirtan concert and yin yoga, and there are constant activities you can participate in. My favorite was a cacao ceremony! And of course, one of the best parts of the program is the food! We had a buffet of breakfast and dinner included in the program, except on our day off. Amazing, amazing vegan food and friendly restaurant chef and servers. Everyone was always so kind and would accommodate you in any way. It was easy to maintain a vegan diet for the whole month I was there. Overall I truly recommend Orion for yoga teacher training, especially if you want to learn about your true self and are open to new experiences. It was a truly magical time and I'm so glad about my experience and all the lovely people I met there."
- Andrea, UK
"Orion offers the beauty we seek. The setting is beyond magnificent. With the calm bay and stunning sunsets right in front of you, you sip on that fresh, juicy, sweet coconut that was prepared for you and really have to pinch yourself. Add into that image swinging on a coconut tree swing or hammock and you're really floating. For those researching where to take their yoga teacher training course or any other course that Orion has to offer - just book it and feel the place for yourself to see what all the raving reviews are about. After spending a month here I felt so at home and comfortable. I came as a solo woman and left feeling a part of Orion's family. The entire hospitality staff and holistic expert teams are the friendliest people to enjoy meals with or simply enjoy conversation with. The food is absolutely delicious, fresh, colorful - you name it. The herbal steam room and infra-red sauna are clean, cleansing and a real haven. I swear there is a magical spell over this place. The people, the energy, the pure goodness Orion offers is just invigorating. Thank you Daliah and Ari for creating this space for others to enjoy, to transform and to really appreciate the beauty of life. Visit Orion and feel for yourself guys."
- Amanda, Sweden
"Orion Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training, is the best! Besides the ambiance, the sunsets, the amazing vegan food and delicious smoothies, Orion is one of the most complete healing centers I've been to. Friendly and experienced staff. The teachers and healers at Orion will definitely inspire and motivate your practice. I surely recommend to visit this jewel in the island, you will not want to miss it."
- Sol, NY
"I recently had the opportunity to do a teacher training course at Orion in Koh Phangan, Thailand. I started the course with not much knowledge or experience, and I have to say that it changed my life. The instructor, Coco, was amazing. She took you in like a mother would and was very precise and cared so much that all her students knew all the asanas perfectly. She taught us the names of the asanas in Sanskrit, as well as the philosophy behind yoga practice. We also learned anatomy, herbology, and many other skills and subjects. Astrid, who taught us anatomy and Daliah who runs the school are both amazing people & I am thankful every day that I went through this life-changing experience. Thank you!”
- Elad, Israel

Reiki Healing
Reiki is a frequency that promotes balance and harmony, it boosts relaxation and thus reduces stress. This “Divine Universal Life Force Energy” is our birth right and is available for all regardless of belief system, religion, race, gender by means of attuning our cosmic vibration to this frequency. Reiki is known to be a multi-level healing source, that promotes healing on all levels; physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual, and well as on our subconscious, gently helping to balance the energies within. At Orion Healing Center we feel deeply passionate about spreading this teaching and connecting with as many people as possible.
