Overview

YogaUnion has been offering yoga teacher training courses for over a decade. Based in Bali, they specialize in AshtangaVinyasa Flow. Their 200hr Vinyasa TTC is open to anyone who wants to become a yoga teacher or deepen their practice. The training, designed by Ourania and Spyros, will challenge and develop individuals at all levels. It focuses on building confidence, skills, and profound knowledge in Vinyasa and Ashtanga practice. It also covers topics like yoga philosophy, anatomy, and the business aspect of yoga. The training takes place in YogaUnion Shala, located in the beautiful rice fields of Ubud, Bali.

How the residential training looks like

Each morning starts with an hour of pranayama, meditation, and mantra chanting, followed by a Vinyasa flow class. Afternoons are dedicated to learning asanas, with a focus on alignment, adjustments, and teaching methodology. The theoretical part includes studying yoga philosophy and anatomy. Restorative styles of yoga, such as Yin, Hatha, and Nidra, are also taught. The training incorporates various practice techniques, teaching practice, and workshops on specific asanas. Throughout the training, you will receive feedback on your teaching and have the opportunity to improve and find your unique voice as a teacher. A typical daily schedule includes meditation, Vinyasa practice, learning sessions, and free time for making your own lessons.

Completion

To complete the training, you will deliver a 30-minute Vinyasa flow class to your fellow yogis and receive constructive feedback. You will also take a 3-hour written exam on asana analysis, philosophy, and anatomy. YogaUnion believes that whether you decide to teach or not after the training is of little importance. The training is a journey of self-growth and development in physical, mental, and spiritual aspects. It is a step towards self-realization and self-love.

Food

Hey there! This course offers you 10 amazing vegetarian buffets for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, happening from Mondays to Saturdays. Unfortunately, Sundays are off, so no buffets that day.

Let’s start with breakfast. You can enjoy a refreshing tropical fruit salad and choose between porridge, black rice pudding, or Balinese crepes. And of course, we have toast and eggs too! To wash it all down, we offer coffee, tea, and juice.

Moving on to lunch and dinner, get ready for a delicious feast! We’ve got a wide variety of local dishes, vegetable stews, curries, legumes, and grains. And if you’re a salad lover, we’ve got you covered too.

Our food is all homemade and made with fresh, local, and mostly organic ingredients. You’ll definitely taste the difference!

Now, Sundays are a bit different. You have the freedom to choose from the many fantastic restaurants and health food spots in Ubud or around the rice fields. And don’t worry if you have any special dietary requirements like vegan or gluten-free, we can accommodate those too. Just let us know in advance when making your reservation.

Oh, and by the way, breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all covered in this course. So, no need to worry about meals throughout your stay.
