TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the possibility of entering Thailand three times in one year, accumulating up to nine months with a tourist visa and extensions. Comments suggest that obtaining tourist visas in advance from a Thai consulate should not pose a problem, and there is a mention of considering the appropriate visa and work permit due to their profession as a yoga instructor.

You are working as a yoga instructor, maybe get the correct visa and work permit.

so you would be buying tourist visas from a thai consulate before you came here each time correct?

That shouldn't be a problem at all.

What country are you going to apply for your visa in?

If you do it in your home country before you leave you might be eligible for a multiple entry tourist visa.

, I believe that you heard wrong ;)

There is no 6 months in a year rule about being in thailand, in fact there's no rule about the how long you can stay here during any length of time.
