Transform Your Life • Teach With Presence • Be The Light
At Blooming Lotus Yoga, we believe yoga is a journey of self-discovery. If you are a beginner, a long-time practitioner, or want a ‘reset’ in your life, this training is here to meet you where you’re at. Teaching doesn’t have to be the main goal. Many who come simply want to go deeper: into their practice, into their breath, into themselves and to experience how yoga transforms lives.

So Much More Than Two Certificates
Free Re-Attendance • Hatha, Vinyasa & Resorative/Yin Training • Friendships For Life
Teach Yoga From The Heart
Learn a holistic and spiritual approach that integrates the Vedic teachings of yoga & meditation with modern mind-body awareness practices.
Gain Skills & Confidence
Develop the essential skills you need to teach Hatha, Vinyasa and Restorative/Yin classes with confidence. Learn how to teach safely and compassionately to make the world a better place.
Deepen Your Practice
Take the time to reconnect within. Many students simply take this training to slow down, reflect, and find purpose again. There’s no pressure to teach until you are called to.
Learn To Teach Meditation
Meditation is the key to truly transform lives. Learn a lineage-based Vedic pranayama and meditation practice used by enlightened masters to realize your Highest Self and learn to teach this sacred science to others to help them live a more peaceful, healthy, balanced and purposeful life.
225 hours, 2 Certifications
You leave with a 200-hour yoga teacher training certificate, which makes you eligible to register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT-200, and a separate 25-hour meditation certificate. Blooming Lotus Yoga is a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider, so the 25 meditation teacher training hours count as continuing education requirements.
Come Back, Free, For Life
Once you’ve graduated, you can retake the full 200-hour training with us again at no cost, as often as you want. Learning to teach doesn’t finish on graduation day, and we regularly have graduates return two or three times to deepen their practice, teaching skills and reconnect with community.
Taught In A Living Tradition
Blooming Lotus Yoga is a Vedic-based school, in the non-dual Goddess tradition called Shri Vidya. Philosophy, pranayama and meditation carry the same importance here as asana — which is why this training suits people who want authentic yoga, not only the postures.
Maximum 18 Students
Practicum time — actually teaching, being watched, being compassionately corrected — is where confidence comes from, and isn’t possible in large groups. Many Bali trainings run up to 30 students. We intentionally keep to a maximum of 18 so everyone gets the personal attention and training they need.
Teach Yoga Nidra
Learn to guide the powerful meditation technique called Yoga Nidra that will expand your teaching skills and empower you to help heal and transform the lives of others. This unique meditation is accessible to all people in all walks of life and becomes an invaluable tool of transformation that distinguishes you as a teacher.

What You Won't Learn, and Why
Ashtanga, Bikram, Hot & Aerial Styles of Yoga: These are not our tradition and it’s too much to realistically promise in a 3-week course. These approaches to yoga are not designed to be “multi-style.” They are their own distinct lineages. If you wish to be certified in these systems there are many other wonderful courses that specialize in each of them. With us, you will learn hatha, vinyasa and restorative/yin.
Yoga as fitness: If you are looking for a fitness-based training and don’t want to learn the roots of yoga, meditation or spiritual practices this training is not a good fit. With us, you will not practice yoga as exercise, but rather explore how yoga is a holistic system that integrates body, mind and soul.
Forceful shatkarmas, kundalini awakening & tantric techniques: These are traditionally meant to be practiced with strict dietary regulations under the direct supervision of an experienced teacher over long periods. They are not suitable for most people and when taught casually can create more harm than good.
Dangerous adjustments that could cause injury: You’ll learn safe, trauma-informed adjustments and methods that prevent and heal injuries rather than cause them.
Ways to commercialise yoga. Instead of a “business of yoga” module, you’ll be given an ethical framework for attracting people to your classes in ways that feel honest to you.

Blooming Lotus Yoga is set in a peaceful jungle sanctuary. Birds singing, tropical air moving through lush greenery, and the flow of water create a tranquil atmosphere ideal for the practice of yoga and meditation.

This Course Is For You If:
You want modern, minimalist and luxurious accommodations in a world-class yoga resort. A safe, relaxed and fun sanctuary where you can immerse into the yogic lifestyle, but still be close enough to Ubud to enjoy its trendy shops and amazing restaurants on your days off.
You want a step-by-step meditation technique that will allow you to find inner peace, focus your mind, unlock your creativity and open the doors to spiritual freedom.
This Course Is NOT Really For You If:
You only want a new-age fitness-based training and don’t want to learn the roots of yoga or focus on spiritual development.
You want complex anatomy lessons so you can use yoga only for physical exercise. We take a more practical and holistic approach focusing mostly on alignment and safety. This makes it easy for students to remember the key principles and not get overwhelmed with needing to memorize medical terms.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Blooming Lotus Yoga so unique?
Our Vision: Blooming Lotus Yoga was founded with the intention of spreading the sacred wisdom of classical yoga by adapting the mystical and spiritual approach of the Vedic tradition to meet the needs of modern spiritual seekers. Through our comprehensive 8-step yoga training process we have developed an innovative new way for students to study the noble art of yoga and meditation without the struggles associated with traditional teacher trainings or the nonsense of the new-age. Our aim is to empower you with practical and transformative self-development tools which purify the body/mind at the deepest level so the remembrance of your own Divinity may awaken. Through this spiritual awakening you will transform into a real yogi or yogini and become capable of guiding others on the path as you live a more balanced, compassionate & enlightened life.
Our Value: A 225-hour yoga teacher training at Blooming Lotus Yoga costs from US$2,770, covering tuition, accommodation, meals, airport pickup and all taxes. That’s 225 certified hours, with a maximum of 18 students, and you can retake the training free for life.
Our Kindness: A portion of your tuition costs are donated to charities serving some of the most impoverished communities in Bali and rural India. By participating in this course you are directly contributing to relieving the suffering of countless people in dire need.
What are the pre-requisites?
There is no minimum number of years of practice required to join the Blooming Lotus Yoga teacher training. We welcome beginner and intermediate practitioners, and our teachers adapt instruction to meet each student at their own level.
We do speak with every applicant before accepting them. That conversation isn’t a test — it’s how we make sure the course is right for you and that you arrive knowing what to expect.
Courses are conducted in English, so students need to be able to read, write and discuss the material.
How do I pay for the course?
STEP 1 (DEPOSIT):
A deposit of $500 USD, via credit/debit card or Paypal, is required to save your space.
STEP 2 (2nd Payment):
The second payment can be paid through an online credit/debit card payment or PayPal.
Early Registrations: If you apply more than 2 months before the course begins, the 2nd payment is due within 30 days of registration.
Late Registrations: If you apply less than 2 months before the course begins both the deposit and 2nd payment are due within 48 hours of registration.
STEP 3 (Final Payment):
The final payment will be due on arrival in USD or Indonesian Rupiah. This can be paid in cash or through credit/debit card.
Please contact us if you need to extend any of these deadlines, if you need a payment plan or other payment options.
What is your refund policy?
If you are unable to attend due to unforeseen circumstances, we have a risk-free policy where you can transfer your tuition to another course within 1 year x 1 time (you have 1 year to move your date from the original YTT date; subject to availability) with a minimum of 2 months’ notice. If the request is within 60 days of the start date, the tuition becomes non-refundable and non-transferable.
If you’re unable to transfer to another course, you may be eligible for a refund based on our refund policy:
DEPOSIT – The $500 USD deposit is fully refundable for 7 days* and is transferable to another course. If you register within 60 days of the course start date, the tuition is paid in full and is non-refundable or transferrable.
TUITION – The remaining tuition (minus the deposit) is fully refundable before 6 months*, 50% refundable before 2 months*, and non-refundable less than 2 months before the training start date. However, if you change your YTT date from the originally selected date, your tuition becomes non-refundable.
ACCOMMODATION/MEALS – If you’ve selected on-site accommodations, they become non-changeable within 2 months of the YTT start date. Once the course has begun, the accommodation and meal costs are non-refundable.
*minus 3.6% (Credit Card) or 4.4% (Paypal) payment processor fees
How many students are on each course?
Blooming Lotus Yoga takes a maximum of 18 students per teacher training. Each course has 6 Shared Deluxe places, 5 Private Suite places and 5 Private Deluxe places, plus scholarships and places for students that stay off-site.
We intentionally limit the number of students to ensure that the highest quality training standards are met and that each student gets the personal attention they deserve.
Can I really take the course again for free?
Are meals included? Where do we eat?
Our all-inclusive YTT price includes the tuition, accommodation, and 3 delicious meals per day at our Amrita restaurant, excluding days off. During the course you will have a few days off which you can use to explore Bali. On these days, meals are not provided, as most students choose to eat out at the many amazing restaurants in Ubud or anywhere else in Bali they may choose to visit.
If you choose the off-site room option, you will need to eat with the group by opting in to the meal plan – which includes 3 meals per day, for only $360 USD.
How about special diet requests?
How are people paired in shared rooms?
Shared onsite accommodations are for 2 people per room. We place women with women, and men with men, UNLESS you register for 2 people which feel comfortable together in close quarters (such as a partners or friends). This allows for maximum harmony.
As our yoga courses are primarily filled with women, for any given training we cannot guarantee that we will have 2 men that wish to stay in the same room type. As such, we request all single men that wish to register for our course to do the following:
- Register with a friend
- Choose the Private Room option to guarantee your space
- Choose the off-site room option
- Contact us to see if we have a shared space available or be placed on a waitlist
If I choose the offsite room how do I get to classes?
