Our Bali Yoga Teacher Training program in Ubud will allow you to immerse yourself in your yoga practice and give you a deep sense of the rich culture that Bali has to offer. The island of Bali is a potent land that provides jungle, mountains, rivers, canyons, and beautiful beaches to roam and explore. Deep in the rice fields, surrounded by lush green rice grass and bright blue palm tree-lined skies, we tune into the mindful rhythm of this culture, where beauty is honored in every step. We invite you on this journey of self-inquiry to discover the beauty within and around you.
Spirituality is inherently infused into this unique culture that is filled with devotion. Every moment is a sacred offering of love from the heart. The temples, prayer songs and incense offerings provide the backdrop for this journey of self discovery. The ancient wisdom of this culture will guide us as we return to our heart’s essence. Commit to your practice as we go deep into this precious space for reflection and connection.
Ubud is the thriving cultural and spiritual capital of Bali. Home to Bali’s yoga, art, and health scene, it provides a sanctuary in an idyllic, nurturing space, full of the revitalizing qualities of the abundant land. This program focuses on self-love and self-care as a path to bliss and awakening. The opportunities for massage, sauna, ceremony, yoga, and more are abundant on this magical island!

FAQ
Who is this training for?

What is the style of yoga practiced?
The style of yoga we share is a mindful vinyasa flow based practice that allows one to find connection and embark upon an insightful journey within. We link breath and movement to emphasize meditation and to find stillness in motion. This practice become a sacred prayer to our body, to access the stillness of the mind and to connect with spirit. The experience is deeply intentional as we honor yogic philosophy and invite our soul to look inward and find peace with what is present.
Our sequence is rooted in traditional Hatha and Ashtanga Vinyasa practices but has evolved to meet the needs of the modern yogi. We offer a holistic and well rounded approach, balancing the Yin and Yang, the passive and active, the lunar and solar, the feminine and masculine energies to leave one feeling centered and harmonious. Not only does this practice offer physical benefits, but it works on the energetic and spiritual forms as well, tapping into the wisdom of ancient yogic teachings while connecting to Earth Medicine and exploring the Elements as a path to transformation and Union with all that is.
We build a solid foundation for our students to then expand upon as they find their voices as teachers or in their own personal practice. We emphasis an embodied understanding of poses and alignment, intelligent sequencing and transitions while embracing grace, ease and fluidity. With this deeper awareness and understanding of the body, we can come into full alignment with mind, body, spirit and our life’s purpose.
How long do I need to practice yoga for to join?
There are no requirements to join, so long as you have an interest in yoga and meditation and a desire to deepen that connection.
