Blue Chitta is a yoga and freediving centre in Mae Haad, Koh Tao, running since 2022 and built around the idea that yoga and freediving naturally complement each other through breath awareness, relaxation and mindful movement. The main centre sits on the beachfront with sea views on one side and jungle on the other, and includes two yoga shalas, a freediving school, the Prana Cafe serving healthy vegetarian food, and two dormitories for those who want to stay on site.
Yoga classes and locations
Blue Chitta runs daily yoga classes for all levels across several settings. The main ocean-view studio in Mae Haad hosts the core weekly schedule, covering meditation, Vinyasa, Pranayama, gentle and fluid flow, Hatha, Yin, Yoga Nidra and restorative styles. Sunrise sessions are held at High The Moon, a viewpoint with 360-degree ocean views, and the centre also offers a distinctive yoga-on-the-boat experience out on the water. All equipment is provided and every class is open to beginners, with booking recommended for the main studio and required for the High The Moon sessions.
Freediving and holistic training
As a freediving school, Blue Chitta teaches courses from beginner to instructor level, using a holistic method that blends breathwork, yoga, relaxation techniques and ocean awareness to support both performance and wellbeing. Advanced students train toward depths beyond 30 metres and breath-holds of over three minutes, and fun dives are available for certified freedivers.
Retreats, teacher training and community
The centre runs flexible, self-guided yoga retreats that can last anywhere from a single day to a full month, letting guests set their own rhythm while immersing in daily classes, workshops and a supportive community steps from the ocean. Blue Chitta also offers Yoga Teacher Training on Koh Tao and a karma-yogi work-exchange programme for longer stays. With its combination of two shalas, a freediving school, a healthy cafe and on-site accommodation, it is one of the island’s most complete wellness destinations.
