November 26, 2023 at 12:00 amI’m so glad I chose ULU Yoga! Everything was just perfect – from the course to the food. But what I really loved was that our group wasn’t big. It meant that we could all chat and make friends easily, without feeling like we were being mass-produced.
The teachers were so welcoming and knowledgeable. You really felt like you were in good hands. I learned so much about yoga and the lifestyle, and even discovered more about myself. My time at ULU Yoga in Uluwatu was simply amazing, and I’m grateful for such a wonderful experience!

Uluyoga has truly excelled in making sure we are in the best environment to fully immerse ourselves in the learning experience. The teachers are so friendly and easy to approach, and the administrative staff is so caring and responsible. The classes were perfectly structured, allowing us to gradually build our confidence and familiarity with teaching, even if we had never taught before. I was excited for classes every single day, especially because I had an amazing group of new friends to share the experience with.

November 17, 2023 at 12:00 amI stayed at One Degree Sunset Hill, which is located on the main road, so it can get noisy at night. Just a heads up for light sleepers. But overall, the place was clean and nice, the bed was comfortable, and the staff was really friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, there was no fridge in the room, which was a bit of a bummer.
I’m giving this place a rating of 5, even though I feel like the room was more of a 4/5 in terms of quality and price. But that’s not their fault. Now, let me tell you about my experience doing my 200-hour YTT with Uluyoga in Bali.
All of the teachers were absolutely amazing! I loved how they combined the authenticity of yoga with their humble and caring personalities. Plus, being in Bali and close to the beaches made it the perfect environment. If you’re looking for a well-organized school with a great balance of different teachers and their energy and knowledge, this is the place to go. I really appreciated that they exposed us to various styles of yoga, so we could choose our preferences and discover new things. Trust me, it’s worth a try.
The breakfast that was included was delicious. They offer both sweet and savory options, so you have a choice every day. The yoga studio itself is peaceful and conveniently located, with plenty of good restaurants nearby for lunch and dinner.
A huge shoutout to the entire ULU yoga team! Our lead teacher, Héloïse, was absolutely amazing. Her energy was infectious, and she had a wealth of knowledge about chakras. She also taught us how to create a safe space to open up emotionally. Manjeet, the philosophy teacher, was also incredible. His knowledge was a perfect blend of traditional Indian teachings and a modern, funny, and humble approach. Salome, Eddie, Lloyd, Flo, and Krystal, who taught ashtanga, aerial yoga, acro yoga, and vinyasa respectively, were all fantastic as well. And I can’t forget Tania, the coordinator, who was incredibly helpful and caring. Each one of them brought their own unique touch to the experience.
I highly recommend this place. Give it a go!

I’m new to the yoga world and didn’t know what to expect, but I enjoyed every single class. The teachers were all unique and knowledgeable, and I felt so welcomed and valued. Our group of students became like a little family to me, full of understanding and love. We cried, we laughed, we shared experiences, and we practiced meditation, pranayamas, and asanas together. We even went for massages and had meals together. It was truly an unforgettable journey of personal growth. I am so grateful for this incredible opportunity to gain so much knowledge and have the tools to overcome life’s challenges. And I’m excited for the beautiful moments that lie ahead. ???

It provided an excellent all-encompassing experience that introduced me to many different styles of yoga. I must say, most of the instructors were really great!

September 1, 2023 at 12:00 amWell…Bali can be unpredictable, but if you keep an open mind about changes in the schedule or program, you’ll be fine. Our team did a great job adapting to challenges like construction noise at the venue. If you can, I suggest going for the premium package for the hotel rooms onsite with the shala – it’s totally worth it. The content and learning format were top-notch. The online videos really complemented the in-person program. The instructors were genuine, caring, and knowledgeable. We got to experience a wide range of yoga styles, which was a lot of fun. I always felt well taken care of and safe. If you’re looking for an authentic teacher training experience, I highly recommend Ulu Yoga.

It made me feel safe during the sessions and helped me open up more. I really miss that tight-knit community and would love to do the course again. 😀

August 24, 2023 at 12:00 amUlu created an amazing swing for us to use, and it’s so easy to use. I had such a great time trying it out. Now, I just need to figure out how to apply what I learned to the swings we have back home. ULU yoga’s Aerial Teacher Training was absolutely fantastic. Eddie really went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly from beginning to end. Our training took place at Bamboo, which was such a lovely and cozy space. The staff was incredibly kind, and the food was delicious. The days were perfectly structured with a good blend of theory, practice, and relaxation time. Minty, our teacher, was absolutely amazing. She had so much knowledge and warmth. Heloise was great, and Lloyd did an incredible job explaining anatomy. Eddie’s morning aerial flow was the highlight of my day. Our group consisted of 12 people, half of whom were already yoga teachers, while the other half were new to aerial yoga. The course was flexible enough to accommodate all levels, which was really impressive. We all felt so grateful for the experience and quickly became close friends. Our accommodation at Taman Sari was also great.

August 23, 2023 at 12:00 amI am incredibly grateful that I found the yoga teacher training and the amazing community at Ulu Yoga. From the very beginning, Eddie and the team were so supportive, and their support only grew stronger as I needed it. I went through some serious health issues during the training, but every person at Ulu Yoga was there for me. They helped me get through the training without missing a single class, and I grew so much as an instructor. It was a truly profound experience to go through personal growth while dealing with health problems. I’ll never forget how I was embraced and supported instead of judged. Having a yoga family that celebrates your victories is what sets Ulu Yoga apart. The constant empowerment and support I received really helped me gain confidence in my new skills and knowledge. It’s no surprise that Ulu Yoga produces the highest quality yoga instructors in the world. I will always be grateful and I promise to bring that same love, support, and genuine care into my practice for my students. I also love that Eddie created the aerial yoga swing. I bought one because the one I had was too complicated. It’s such a relief when doing what you love from home becomes easy. The amazing people at Ulu Yoga will always hold a special place in my heart. My only hope is to see more lives impacted in the same way mine was.

August 19, 2023 at 12:00 amI had an amazing experience with the course, but the only aspect that wasn’t perfect was the 3D accommodation. They didn’t clean it as often and there were a few times when we didn’t have water. Some people might have found that to be a problem, but it didn’t bother me at all. I saw it as part of the experience and embraced it, living like a local. I loved it so much that I would definitely stay there again. The communication with the girls through emails was fantastic from the beginning. They provided all the support I needed to feel safe and confident about the course.
The online classes were incredibly inspiring and exciting. I’ve never enjoyed studying so much in my life. I loved all of the teachers, but Manjeet was my absolute favorite. His wisdom and energy were palpable through the screen. His classes gave me the experience and understanding of Yoga philosophy, as well as the benefits of Pranayama and training our minds. Cody’s Anatomy classes were also very interesting. I really enjoyed his dynamic teaching style, which made it much easier to understand.
Choosing between Thailand and Indonesia for the in-person portion was a tough decision, but my heart and intuition led me to Bali. And I am so grateful for that choice. Uluwatu is an incredible town with amazing energy, beautiful beaches, and fantastic restaurants.
Every person I met at our Shala holds a special place in my heart. From my classmates to the teachers to everyone working at Le Bamboo, they have created a supportive community where we not only learned new skills, but also how to connect with and love ourselves. I loved all the different activities that Ulu provided for us. They helped us build confidence as teachers and encouraged us to be creative and intuitive in our classes.
I feel truly blessed to have found this course and had this life-changing experience.

August 18, 2023 at 12:00 amIn the original shala, there was only 1 toilet. But the ULU program was fantastic. It gave us a great mix of theory, yoga history, vinyasa, hatha, yin, acro, and aerial yoga.
The teachers were incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. They were all-around great humans, which made the learning experience so much better.
The best part was the mix of students. People from all over the world, with different yoga backgrounds and ages, made the 3 weeks so much fun. We all became great friends.
Now, the new ULU shala is amazing. It’s well-appointed and offers stunning views.
What I loved most was that you could choose your own accommodation and find your own lunch and dinner options. For me, staying at the Hidden Hills Villas was perfect. They were absolutely stunning, and it was an easy walk to both ULU Shalas.

August 9, 2023 at 12:00 amI went through an amazing transformational experience that left me feeling inspired, knowledgeable, and with lifelong friends.
One thing that really stood out during the training was the daily asana labs. They were focused on teaching and improving our asanas and cues. Each day, we had the chance to practice teaching different asanas, which helped us truly learn and internalize the techniques. I really appreciated this hands-on approach because I was specifically looking for a training that offered practical application. I was also able to do some online study, which gave me the freedom to learn at my own pace. I only joined in person when I felt ready, and I even got an extra bonus day!
The teachers were the heart and soul of this training. They had extensive knowledge and a true passion for yoga, creating a nurturing and engaging learning environment. They guided me to explore Vinyasa and Hatha yoga on a deeper level, expanding my understanding of these styles.
The shala where the training took place was newly built and had air conditioning (which was a must for me). The views of the ocean were breathtaking, and we got to witness colorful sunsets every day.
This training was more than just teaching yoga poses. It taught me the power of self-discovery, connection, and the ability we all have to inspire positive change. I now feel confident and ready to take on the world and start teaching!

August 9, 2023 at 12:00 amHey, there are a few things I wanted to mention here:
First, the accommodation. The hotels are pretty basic, nothing too fancy. So just keep that in mind and manage your expectations.
Next, let’s talk about communication and arrangement. We did have a slight miscommunication and coordination issue because there were two classes going on at the same time. But hey, it’s understandable. It was my first yoga teacher training and my first time visiting Bali. And let me tell you, the three weeks I spent there were absolutely amazing!
It turned out to be so much more than just learning yoga and becoming a yoga teacher. I’m truly grateful for everything I learned. I discovered self-love, bravery, and the importance of staying humble. And so much more!
Now, here are a few reasons why I definitely recommend Ulu yoga:
First, they offer a variety of courses. Not just your traditional yoga, but also things like aerial, acro, beach, and SUP. As an aerial yoga lover, I had a blast playing around with Ulu’s unique hammock.
Next, the people. The teachers are all lovely, caring, and knowledgeable. And the best part? They all come from different backgrounds. Plus, my classmates were from all over the world. Every day was a learning experience, getting to know different cultures and hearing different life stories.
Let’s talk about the location. Uluwatu, where the training took place, is not as touristy as other areas. It’s close to the beach, which is a favorite spot for surfers. And there are plenty of great restaurants and cafes around.
Lastly, the materials provided. They give you a textbook on-site, and there’s also an online learning platform. I found it really helpful, and the best part is, you have access to it for about a year. So you can go back and revisit it whenever you want.
All in all, my experience at Ulu yoga was incredible. If you’re looking for a unique yoga training with a variety of courses, amazing people, a great location, and helpful materials, then this is the place for you!

August 5, 2023 at 12:00 amI loved the teacher training itself! It was a great experience.
Now, when it comes to walking in Uluwatu, it’s not the best place for pedestrians like me. There are barely any walkways, but you can still manage to walk to the beach. However, most people prefer taking taxis or scooters instead of walking.
Despite all the construction happening in Uluwatu, we were lucky to not hear any noise at the Shala. It was such a peaceful environment for doing yoga. The teachers were fantastic, with a lot of experience and great instructions for us students. They were always available to help and had so much knowledge to share.
I absolutely loved trying out aerial, SUP, and acroyoga. It was really fun to explore different styles of yoga.
The breakfast was delicious, and the long lunch break was a perfect opportunity to relax by the pool and prepare for teaching exams in the afternoon.
The ULUyoga team was incredibly helpful. Even before the training started, they organized everything with the hotel and provided us with reliable local taxi drivers’ numbers for airport pick-ups.
The online hours were well-structured, and the videos were of good quality. The best part is that we still have access to the videos even after the course.
If I had more vacation days, I would have loved to stay longer and do the 300-hour course right away. Hopefully, in the future, I’ll be able to come back to Bali and take another course with ULUyoga.

During the training, I had some medical emergencies that had nothing to do with yoga or ulu yoga. However, the team at ulu yoga was incredibly supportive throughout the entire journey. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to complete the course on-site, but we easily found a solution and now I’m thoroughly enjoying the online course. The communication has always been clear and friendly, and the teachers teach with so much passion, making the classes interesting and interactive.

There were so many highlights, but let me share a few of my favorites:
1) The online content was fantastic! Being able to access classes online before, during, and after the 21-day part was so helpful. It gave me a solid foundation to build on, and I know I’ll refer back to some of those lessons in the future.
2) I can’t express enough gratitude to all the teachers. They were just so amazing. They not only taught us yoga on the mat but also off the mat. Their support and energy were truly inspiring.
3) The timetable was perfect. It struck a great balance between physical asana practice, classroom learning, and downtime for relaxation, self-study, and exploration.
4) I loved the variety of yoga styles. We focused on vinyasa and Hatha with Ariel, but we also got to try acro and yin. I fell in love with all of them.
5) The venue, Le Bamboo, was like a dream. It was a beautiful bohemian resort nestled on a hillside with breathtaking ocean views. The infinity pool was heaven, and the staff and food were fantastic. The shala was just perfect, offering lovely nature views. We even had the opportunity to try out the new Ulu shala, which was so spacious and tranquil. It was absolutely ideal for Ariel and acro yoga.
6) The organization of the program was flawless. Eddie and his team did an incredible job. The communication before, during, and after the YTT was top-notch. They were so helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process.

April 3, 2023 at 12:00 amSorry, but I wouldn’t book this teacher training again. It wasn’t my first YTT, but it was definitely the least “Yogi” one I’ve experienced. I felt like the owners were more interested in making money off the tourists on Koh Phangan than actually teaching us. We barely did any meditation, and they didn’t cover yoga philosophy, spirituality, or anatomy. They only had one Acro and SUB Yoga session. Though breakfast was included, it wasn’t enough to keep us nourished.
To make matters worse, the group was a mix of participants with different levels of knowledge. Some had just arrived while others had already completed their 200h or 300h training. This created a lot of frustration because we kept starting over with anatomy and philosophy lessons.
On the bright side, the teachers were really nice, friendly, and knowledgeable. I would definitely attend one of their regular classes again.

The last shala, Le Bamboo, was small and hot. But we were spoiled by the amazing shalas we had before. This teacher training was absolutely incredible. We had five different teachers, and each one of them was inspiring, wise, and generous. It was a true blessing to have learned from them as yoga teachers and as human beings. I’m so grateful to have met them and hear their stories.
Each week, we were in a different shala, which allowed us to explore different places. The teachers and organizers were always there to help and found solutions for any issues that came up. It was such a safe space for us to grow, explore, and remember who we are and why we’re here.

The resort staff was too slow for the appointed breakfast, but they didn’t make any changes in the long run despite addressing the issue. It would have been great to have some extras like discounts in the restaurant, laundry services, or scooters (even though they were officially available, they weren’t practical). I enjoyed the variety of yoga styles, learning about the anatomy aspects, and the different teachers at the location. The teaching exercises and Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP) were also enjoyable, as well as the other participants.

January 31, 2023 at 12:00 amThis course definitely focused on having fun rather than just becoming a certified yoga teacher. Some people might love that, while others may not. Personally, I would have appreciated more structure in the analytics classes, especially since some of us were inexperienced and needed help with alignment.
But, I absolutely loved the teachers and how caring they were. The venue itself wasn’t bad, but the noise from traffic at night really bothered me.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this course. It was one of the best times of my life! Heloise, our teacher, was amazing and the Shala we practiced in was beautiful. The whole team really took care of our group. We had exciting Areal and Acro classes, went to the beach to practice, and even tried out the SUP board.

December 18, 2022 at 12:00 amThe resort impressed me with its beauty, and the staff were incredibly kind and accommodating. The only area that could have been better was the breakfasts. They weren’t very filling, so I often ended up ordering a second dish. The quality and preparation of the food provided by the resort was not as good as what I could find elsewhere. The food I bought outside had more variety, larger portions, and seemed to be made with more attention to detail. Despite this, I don’t have any other complaints. Cody and Shashi, the hosts, are amazing individuals. They created a safe and nurturing environment for self-exploration and vulnerability throughout the three weeks I spent in Koh PhaNgan. I felt seen, heard, and loved the entire time. Their knowledge was both humbling and impactful, and it has influenced how I want to navigate life going forward. This experience was not only a personal journey but also a spiritual and energetic one shared with wonderful people. The course provided a secure space where I could freely express and release any emotions. Investing in myself during this time has been truly life-changing, and I’m incredibly grateful for it.

September 19, 2022 at 12:00 amThe booking process for my stay at the resort was really straightforward. Saghar, who I was speaking with on the phone, helped me with all of my questions about ferries, transportation, and other online queries. She was quick to respond and extremely helpful and friendly.
Before heading to Thailand, I did some online studies and found the videos to be very understandable. I really loved the philosophy and was able to grasp it easily just by watching the videos.
When I arrived in Thailand, the employees at the resort gave off such a friendly vibe that I immediately felt welcomed. The room was just okay, although I should have chosen the one with air conditioning since the weather was extremely hot and humid at that time. But, I managed to persevere.
The instructors at Ulu Yoga were amazing. Cody and Lena were both super nice and chill, and they made everyone feel welcome. The way they taught was perfect for both beginners and advanced yoga students. Cody’s explanations of the philosophy were fantastic! I could really connect with his explanations and relate them to my own life. Lena portrayed herself as a calm teacher with her soothing voice, which inspired me to want to become a great teacher like her as well.
Overall, Ulu Yoga has greatly changed me as a person and made me better than before. It took me a while to write this review because even now, when I think back to everything I experienced, I just want to go back there again. I miss the amazing vibe and I really miss the people.
Without a doubt, I will choose Ulu Yoga for my next yoga course. Thank you so much, Uluyoga. Sending lots of love ❤️

The instructors are sensible with our time and they make it possible for us to enjoy all the activities mentioned in the course.

The instructors also give constructive feedback regularly when we are practicing, letting us know what we do well, areas for improvement, and even providing suggestions on how to approach it better. It was a great all-around experience for me, and I truly enjoyed it. I’m so grateful!

August 15, 2022 at 12:00 amBeing in Canada, the time difference made it tricky for me to participate in in-person yoga classes on Zoom. Fortunately, they gave me access to recorded sessions, so I could still join in from the comfort of my own home, whenever it worked for me. Ulu Yoga has truly thought of everything in their program, covering everything from philosophy and anatomy to pranayamas, meditations, Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin yoga, and even Asana analytics. Each teacher is incredibly knowledgeable and their guidance has been invaluable. The Ulu Yoga team is so friendly and supportive, they really make you feel like they’re cheering you on every step of the way. This course has not only helped me grow my yoga practice, but it has also given me a solid foundation for working towards becoming a yoga teacher myself. One of the things I love about this program is the flexibility to do it at my own pace, right from the comfort of my own home. I have particularly enjoyed Janaina’s yoga practice and her beautiful voice when she sings mantras. Cody has taught me some more challenging asanas and given me a deeper understanding of anatomy. Kehkashan’s classes really delve into the analysis of asanas, including different variations and the use of props. And both Manjeet and Dr. Kalpana have shared the roots of yoga, pranayama, and meditation, showing me so many amazing ways to connect with myself and find inner peace. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Ulu Yoga in my search for a 200-hour yoga teacher training.

The topics were presented in a clear and easy-to-understand way, making it effortless to follow along with the instructor. I also liked how the course was structured, with a separation between basic anatomy and functional anatomy.

May 4, 2022 at 12:00 amI loved everything about my training with ULU Yoga, except for one thing – not being able to do it in person because of Covid 🙁 But despite my initial hesitation about doing a 300-hour training online, I decided to give it a shot and I’m so glad I did!
Right from the start, ULU Yoga impressed me with their warm and welcoming community. They offer weekly live lessons and teaching practices, which turned out to be the best part of the training. Trust me, you don’t want to miss out on those!
The teachers at ULU Yoga are all pros and each brings their own unique personality to their teachings. It’s an incredible opportunity to learn from the best.
The training itself is well-organized and progresses in a logical way. You’re introduced to more in-depth knowledge step by step, and I never felt overwhelmed throughout the course.
One of the benefits of doing the training online is that you can go at your own pace. It also encourages you to be self-critical and helps you grow and see things from a different perspective.
I have to give a shoutout to the support team at ULU, who were always there for me with very short notice. They were a lifesaver!
Overall, I can’t recommend ULU Yoga’s training enough. Make sure to join the live lessons and teaching practice – they’re the absolute highlights of the course. And most importantly, enjoy the journey!

August 11, 2020 at 12:00 amI’ve always dreamed of learning yoga with this school. Two of my friends took the course and loved it, and now thanks to online learning, I finally had the chance too. I had live classes every day with all the instructors, which was great. What I loved most was that I could record these classes and watch them again later. It was much better than just relying on my poor note-taking skills in a classroom. We even had private study groups with other students, so I was able to connect with and make friends from all over the world. This was something I was really worried about missing out on. The traditional yoga instruction was incredibly detailed and organized. Salomé, one of the instructors, is an amazing teacher and practitioner. The philosophy part of the course was also something I really enjoyed. The format was well-structured with assigned readings, questions, and follow-up discussions. I’ve been trying to study yoga philosophy for years, and now it’s finally clear to me. It was also a treat to see Bali in the videos. It’s now a huge motivation for me to travel there and take the course in person next year. Another thing I loved was practicing teaching with fellow course members on zoom. Since I was stuck at home, I even got the chance to teach my mother. I recorded myself teaching, and the instructors gave me some really helpful feedback. It was a great method because, at first, it was hard to watch myself, but it turned out to be the best way to learn. I now feel confident in my ability to teach and help others. I’m incredibly grateful and happy with everything.

June 8, 2019 at 12:00 amI owe a lot of love and thanks to my teachers. The yoga class suited me perfectly because, as a beginner, they often paired me with two advanced students. This actually helped me learn much faster than I expected. I can see that the organization and guidelines for everything were meticulously planned and revised. It’s quite clear to me, considering my job as a building project manager, that every detail of this school is carefully thought out – from welcoming guests to grading tests and, of course, teaching different poses either individually or in groups. The schedule also strikes a perfect balance with breaks and activities like beach and spa outings. I was pleasantly surprised by how caring the staff was outside of class; they actually spent time with the students during meals and organized outings. This, of course, was part of the management’s plan to have a 24/7 hands-on group coordinator outside of teaching. It’s truly a wonderful idea that kept the group motivated and unified. I’m already looking forward to returning for the 300-hour course later this year. Thank you so much, truly, thank you!

January 15, 2019 at 12:00 amThis was definitely the best time of my life. We would start our day with yoga practice, philosophy or anatomy discussions, and meditation, from the moment we woke up till we went to sleep. I’m so grateful for all the helpful tips and words of encouragement. One of my favorite things was the tradition of observing silence until after breakfast, as it honored the sacredness of the morning. I also want to give a big shoutout to all the instructors for taking the time to really listen to us. They interviewed each of us personally upon arrival, asking about our health and background. It was such a refreshing experience to have someone genuinely care about my thoughts and feelings. At first, it felt strange because I didn’t know how to express myself, but as time went on, we had group meetings with all the students to share our feedback and experiences. Those moments were truly heartwarming, and I really miss them now. Not only has this experience healed my body from years of weakness, but it has also corrected so many errors in my practice that I wasn’t even aware of.

You have all played a significant role in opening my mind to a whole new world, and I can’t even believe how much I have grown. I know it may sound cliché, but truly, this experience has been life-changing for me.
The instructors have imparted so much wisdom and knowledge that they feel like family to me now. They have inspired me to pursue my passion for teaching yoga and to continue to learn and share this beautiful practice with others. Surprisingly, my own yoga practice has improved immensely in such a short period of time.
Now, about the location, it exceeded all my expectations. I had the privilege of being within walking distance to not just one, but two beautiful beaches. And let me tell you, the little beach at the resort was absolutely perfect for some private suntanning sessions (wink). Haad Yao Beach was impressive, with its vastness and numerous cool cafes and massage parlors that were surprisingly affordable. On the other hand, Secret Beach was a haven of peace and tranquility. It may have had just two restaurants, but both of them were excellent and created a cozy atmosphere.
As for the food, it was nothing short of amazing. Each day brought a different, delicious, and healthy meal. The school even took us to some local vegan restaurants in the village, and the food there was mind-blowing. I can’t wait to come back someday and continue my journey.
Once again, thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

July 25, 2018 at 12:00 amI had a wonderful experience, but it was challenging to get there if you didn’t plan well. I was hesitant to join because I’m not a thin girl with yoga experience. However, every class had easy options for me and more advanced techniques for others. What I liked the most was their attention to detail and safety. They always showed us the possible risks, mistakes, and benefits of different yoga poses, including aerial and sup techniques, rather than just teaching us how to do them. This made me believe that we were receiving better instruction than what is typically offered in other courses. I later found out that they offer about a million courses a year, so they definitely know what they’re doing. Some of the other students had already completed 200 trainings and they said this course was far superior, regretting their decision to waste money on cheap training in India.
Even though I don’t plan to become a yoga teacher, I now feel confident in instructing my friends and family effectively. The island, resort, and shala were all incredibly beautiful. However, I found the resort staff to be annoying, so I decided to switch to the neighboring hotel. Surprisingly, the rooms there were much nicer and offered for the same price.

The program offered exciting challenges for athletic individuals and provided helpful steps for beginners to progress to advanced poses. Ria’s restorative and sup yoga sessions added a great balance. Additionally, there were fun acro and aerial activities on the beach, perfect for capturing awesome Instagram pictures. Surprisingly, I found the normal yoga sessions very enjoyable as well, thanks to the instructors’ detailed instructions on proper alignment. Shashi’s philosophy was deep and intense, yet easy to comprehend. The shala, surrounded by birds and trees, was incredibly beautiful. However, the dining area could use some improvements. Some people thought the resort staff displayed a bit of rudeness, but I appreciated their honest and genuine Thai style. It felt like real people expressing their true feelings. What I loved the most was swimming with all my new friends at sunset. It was a truly unforgettable experience.

July 17, 2018 at 12:00 amI’m so excited to come back next year! The instructors really impressed me with their great technical knowledge, helping us out. The best part was definitely the SUP Yoga. It gave us a good challenge, but it wasn’t too hard for anyone. The location is absolutely stunning. The food was amazing, although the restaurant could use some decoration. All in all, I absolutely loved it and would highly recommend it to everyone.

July 16, 2018 at 12:00 amThis experience awakened and transformed me, my friend! I joined because I thought it’d be fun, especially trying out Acro Yoga and SUP Yoga. But let me tell you, I was absolutely blown away by how deep the philosophy of this course was. It really opened up my mind to see my true self. And you know what’s even more amazing? The restorative aerial yoga actually cured the back pain I’ve had since I was 14! Can you believe it? Koh Phangan island is simply stunning, I mean, the waters there are like something out of a magical dream with their turquoise color. And you won’t believe the view from the yoga shala – it looks out into the beautiful blue sea! Thanks a million to my beloved teachers, without them, none of this would have been possible. I wholeheartedly recommend this course, my friend.
