Bali Yoga Teacher Training Certification Courses | Bali YTT

Our YTT program is 23-days long and designed for intermediate yoga practitioners with at least 2 years of practice that wish to start teaching yoga to others or deepen their own practice. Our daily sessions include yoga classes, asana breakdown workshops, lectures on the art of teaching, as well as yogic philosophy and homework assignments.

If you’re wanting to deepen your personal practice or want to share the gift of yoga through teaching, this yoga teacher training course offers one of the most holistic and spiritually focused trainings in the world, with a strong emphasis on self-growth and self-realization so you can awaken your highest potential & live your best life.

Our 4-day Yoga Retreats and  7-day Yoga Retreats are open to most levels of beginning to intermediate students, and each class is adapted to the general needs of the group.

There are 2 yoga and meditation classes each day, and each class is approximately 2 hours long. Each class includes:

• Easy-to-understand instructions on yoga, meditation and technique
• 15-30 minutes of meditation (building progressively class by class)
• 90 minutes of Yoga Asana (poses)

In addition, during our yoga retreats, we also offer yin yoga classes, plus workshops that focus on philosophical and practical aspects of yoga such as lifestyle, how to practice meditation, and other yogic themes.

Our yoga teacher training is a beautiful synthesis of the essence of Yoga, Tantra and Vedanta adapted for the modern world. It is a rare opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the essence of the yogic way of life—which abounds in truth, love and bliss. It is designed for both aspiring teachers and those that wish to deepen their practice by living Yoga to the fullest.

The content and focus of various yoga teacher training programs around the world can be quite dramatically different, and our particular 200-hour yoga teacher training course offers a mystical, yet modern approach, that is grounded and practical as it integrates the authentic and spiritual yoga of the Vedic tradition with the needs of the modern yogi.

If you’re wanting to deepen your personal practice or want to share the gift of yoga through teaching, this yoga teacher training course offers one of the most authentic and spiritually focused trainings in the world so you can awaken your highest potential & live your best life.

In the yoga teacher training, we have two main objectives:

1. To provide you with a strong foundation in yoga asana so that you may teach yoga classes with confidence and skill. This comprises developing an in-depth knowledge of 60+ yoga asanas, as well as understanding how to intelligently and safely sequence postures while offering variations to meet the needs of people at different levels.
2. To develop a personal spiritual practice that will allow you to directly experience the deeper dimensions of yoga that are beyond yoga asana. For this, we teach the theory and practical application of the four paths of yoga. We focus on developing a meditation practice that utilizes pranayama, mudras, self-inquiry, and mantra as aids to developing awareness, focus, and stilling the mind.

If you look at our testimonials, you can get a feel for the course content and what our students have experienced through the program. What we offer tends to be drastically different than the majority of yoga teacher training programs worldwide.

We love beginners! All of our yoga retreat classes are specifically tailored to meet each person at their own personal level with an emphasis on awareness of the present moment, safety, a sequentially balanced class,  and an opportunity for each person to witness where they are at mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually at each moment. We encourage our students to honor and respect their own bodies and intuition in order to determine what is best for them as each moment unfolds, engaging in the way that feels right for them.

Our sessions focus on love, compassion, fun, letting go and being as you are, as we align and open our body and energy fields to allow for the fullest growth and expansion into who we truly are.  We definitely encourage intermediate practitioners to join us as we explore the depths of Yoga, however advanced students may find that the yoga asana component of the retreat is not challenging enough.  As such, we recommend that advanced yoga asana students join us for our yoga teacher training courses or meditation retreats and learn the higher limbs of yoga.

Yes, we are a Yoga Alliance certified school. However, it is good to know that being a part of this organization is not a necessity to teach yoga.

The Yoga Alliance is an American company that simply acts as a registry for yoga schools and teachers. You can choose to register with them, or choose from any of the numerous other international registries – but this is not mandatory.

Once you receive a certificate from us, you can then submit it to Yoga Alliance and pay an annual fee to be on their registry. But make sure to check with the studios you want to teach in before you register with Yoga Alliance. Because, even though you are eligible to register with them after completing our course, your studio may only require the certificate you obtain from us.

Below are our basic prerequisites for attending our 200-hour YTT program:

1. A minimum of two years of dedicated yoga practice. Exceptions can be made if you have also received training in meditation and/or healing therapies in the past. Priority is given to students with a background in meditation and other spiritual practices.
2. We have a minimum age of 21 years old, to make sure you have had enough time “to live your yoga”. Younger students are encouraged to wait and mature into their practice and range of life experiences before considering becoming a teacher.
3. Courses are conducted in English, and therefore we ask that all students have a good grasp of the English language in order to understand, read, write, and communicate the course material.

Yes. You can start teaching yoga after the yoga teacher training (YTT) is complete.  During the YTT course, you will learn all the essential skills needed to teach safe vinyasa, hatha, and yin-restorative classes to your own students.

Yes, our Amrita restaurant serves organic and vegan cuisine made fresh with locally sourced ingredients.  Amrita restaurant’s healthy menu serves food that is good for you, good for our planet and good for all of its creatures. Following the yogic principle of ahimsa (non-violence), Amrita’s healthy vegan menu contains no animal products. Our healthy menu is completely free of meat, dairy and eggs – an ideal yogic diet that supports your practices.

Yes, there is an in-house healing spa overlooking the river and temple where various massages and healing treatments can be booked.

What constitutes the “best” course can vary depending on your personal preferences, intentions, and purpose for taking the teacher training. It is important to research and compare different yoga teacher training courses in Bali to determine which one aligns with your intentions and goals. When searching for the best course for you, you may want to consider the following:

1. Approach and Focus of the YTT courses: Review the course content and approach to yoga to ensure it covers all the essential elements of yoga teacher training, including yoga asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing techniques), meditation, philosophy, subtle anatomy, teaching methodology, and practice teaching while maintaining the spiritual and holistic essence of yoga.
2. Teachers and Lineage: Make sure the Bali yoga teachers have a background and lineage in yoga so that they can offer teachings from direct experience and from a history of yogic masters so that you can receive authentic teachings.
3. Reviews and Testimonials: Look for reviews and testimonials from previous students who have completed the training. Their experiences can provide insights into the quality and impact of the course.
4. Teaching Environment: Evaluate whether the teacher training course has prerequisites to understand whether you will be learning with beginners or those students already experienced in yoga. Yoga teacher trainings that have prerequisites will be able to take their students to a higher level and teach the deeper aspects of yoga rather than those trainings that must start at the very beginning for those new to yoga.
5. Style and Essence: Most courses focus on the physical aspects of yoga and approach yoga as an exercise or physical workout. Determine whether you’d like to join a yoga teacher training that is more holistic, spiritual and transformative, or whether you’re taking the training solely for its physical benefits.

The duration of a yoga teacher training program in Bali can vary depending on the specific training course and the school or organization offering it. 

A 200-hour yoga teacher training program is the minimum requirement for most comprehensive yoga course and is designed to provide a solid foundation in yoga philosophy, subtle anatomy, teaching methodology, and practical experience. This program usually spans over a period of three to four weeks, with intensive daily classes, practice sessions, and assignments.

It’s important to note that these are general guidelines, and the duration of a yoga teacher training program can vary among different schools and training providers. Therefore, it’s advisable to research and contact specific training programs or schools in Bali to get accurate information on their course duration and schedules.
