Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Ubud, Bali for 7 days with 50 hours of instruction.

The place, the classes, the teachers, everything was awesome. I learned a lot about yoga, both in practice and theory. The teachers are always there to answer our questions, they are very helpful.
However, if you don’t speak any English at all, this training is not for you, you need to have a basic level.
Otherwise, I highly recommend this training 100%!

I attended an amazing seminar that I will never forget! It was such a unique experience!

I got to meet so many positive people in a beautiful location with amazing food and the best teachers!

Himanshu Bahuguna is an incredible instructor with a genuine passion for Yoga and teaching. You can feel his enthusiasm every second of the training! It was such a gift to be able to train with him in Europe!

Faye Balomenou was fantastic! She supported us throughout the training and motivated us to bring out the best in ourselves. She has extensive knowledge in Yoga Philosophy, and I had the most incredible Yoga Nidra experience ever at the Palairos seminar with Faye!

I 100% recommend it! Don’t hesitate to book it! I’m already eagerly looking forward to the 300h training!

Namaste

Le lieu, les profs, les cours, c’était vraiment super.

From day 1, Himanshu, Faye, and the rest of us had an unforgettable journey. They made sure we had everything we needed, from practical lessons to theory and even extra support.

Himanshu’s passion for anatomy made learning easy and enjoyable. And even after the training, they were always there to support us.

Our three teachers together provided a comprehensive training experience. If you ever feel unprepared or worried, they will take care of it.

This place feels like family. Everyone is here for the same reason – to thrive in our yoga practices. By the end of the training, you’ll be ecstatic to have shared this journey with such incredible people.

And let’s not forget the amazing staff. They’re kind, generous, and hardworking, always making sure we have a comfortable stay.

So, if you’re interested in yoga, I can promise you won’t regret it.

I suggest that the groups should have different age options. Personally, I would have preferred a group with people aged 30 and above. This training introduced me to yoga in all its beautiful ways. The location was wisely chosen as it is a small, family-owned hotel where we felt at home in every way. The food was fresh and delicious, and the staff treated us like family, always showing us love and being incredibly helpful. When I needed groceries, a staff member named Stella even took me to a nearby market, which was about a 25-minute walk away.

The training was intense, both physically and spiritually, and there were times when we broke down emotionally. However, with the amazing support from our instructors, we were able to grow each day. Faye and Ippo, our instructors, were perfect in their own unique ways. Faye’s alignment classes and Ippo’s pranayama classes were truly one-of-a-kind. Despite having less time together, our anatomy instructor Sypros was also an exceptional person who showed great passion for anatomy and motivated us in many ways.

Overall, this experience was incredible for me personally. I highly recommend it to anyone who has a love for yoga and the dedication and time to commit to it. ???

This 200 hour Vinyasa YTT in Paleros surpassed all my expectations. Faye Balomenou is an incredibly enthusiastic yoga teacher who shares an abundance of knowledge. The alignment classes were precise and thorough, showcasing Faye’s experience and confidence as a teacher. The practices were intense and motivating, leaving me feeling empowered. Eleni Chantzara is the perfect complement to Faye, offering thoughtful and valuable teachings in Pranayama and various workshops. Her flows and energy are gentle and beautiful. Spyros Kapitsinos teaches captivating and original anatomy classes, keeping students engaged even after long practices. His knowledge and dedication empower students in their own yoga practice and teaching.

The hotel is located in a stunning spot, just a short half-hour walk outside of Paleros town. It has its own private beach accessible by a few staircases. If walking isn’t your thing, there’s also a pool. The views of the sea and mountains are absolutely breathtaking. The Shala’s, both upper and lower, combined with the scenery create a fantastic atmosphere for practicing yoga. The hotel staff is friendly, the rooms are clean, and the food is fresh, varied, and tasty. It’s mostly a healthy/vegetarian take on Greek dishes, although some may find it a bit heavy. Overall, I highly recommend this experience!

I recommend bringing your own yoga mat or a travel version to put over the existing mats. The training took place in the Earth shala of YogaUnion in the beautiful rice fields of Ubud. The accommodation was conveniently located right next to the shala, only 2 meters away. While there wasn’t a pool on site, you could use the pools at nearby places where some of the other participants stayed. The restaurant where we had our meals was just a 3-minute walk away.
In the area, there are some great spas and cafes to explore. Each day brought something different, so there was always something for everyone’s taste in the buffet.
Gourav, our main teacher, has extensive knowledge in yoga, pranayama, and alignment of the asanas. He will prepare you excellently for becoming a yoga teacher. I also want to mention Menik, our amazing anatomy teacher, who was able to answer every single one of our questions and link the anatomy information with yoga poses. Laila, our philosophy teacher, has a unique energy and a soothing voice. She also offers a 50-hour yin yoga teacher training.
We had a variety of yoga classes like yin, restorative, acro, ashtanga, nidra, but our focus was mainly on vinyasa. The classes were more intermediate level, but you would learn and grow stronger each day.
Our group consisted of 19 wonderful participants who made the training enjoyable and created a truly special experience. I highly recommend it!

The atmosphere, the setting, the kindness, the encouragement to always try and give it your all! Himanshu’s super precise advice will remain invaluable, and a big thanks to everyone for your incredible energy.

YogaUnion, I want to thank you for taking me and 11 gals on an unforgettable adventure. This place is truly amazing for learning, growing, and pushing yourself.

Eleni, Ipo, and Spyros created a safe environment where they pushed us to reach new limits. I loved how they were critical of us, because it truly helped us improve and deepen our practice.

The location, facilities, and organization were awesome!

The food was alright, but breakfast was absolutely delicious. The other meals were just okay, not bad or anything, just not amazing 🙂 But, let me tell you, everything else was mind-blowing! The instruction, the course structure, the students, the staff, the facility, the energy, the learning, the fun, the ceremonies – EVERYTHING was incredible. I can’t even begin to explain how much these three weeks changed my life.

I didn’t dislike anything in particular, and the support team at YogaUnion was always ready to help whenever other students had issues. I can’t express enough how grateful I am for the life-changing journeys I’ve had thanks to YogaUnion.

Completing my 200hr and 300hr in vinyasa yoga was amazing, and the 50hr yin TTC was like the perfect finishing touch! The teacher was incredibly knowledgeable and inspiring, with a unique energy that made me feel supported and nurtured. Yoga has taught me so much about life and myself. The Yin TTC allowed me to go deeper within and quiet my busy mind, giving me glimpses of my true self and embracing my authenticity.

I’m already excited for YogaUnion’s future trainings and can’t wait to continue growing with them. Thank you again, YogaUnion, to your incredible teachers and support team, for reminding us all what life is really about. Keep up the amazing work and spread even more love and kindness in the world!

The Teacher Training exceeded my expectations. I have to admit, as a fairly new Yoga practitioner, the tight and packed schedule could be quite challenging at times. But it was amazing to see how I gradually grew in my yoga practice and on a personal level.

Yoga is so much more than physical exercise. Our Philosophy classes helped me implement the Yogic lifestyle into my daily life outside of the mat.

My accommodation in the rice fields was wonderful and clean, just a few minutes from the shala. Students are spread out in guest houses throughout the rice fields. Plus, the food at the restaurant was suuuuuuper delicious.

I recommend this experience to anyone wanting to delve deeper into Yoga, even if you don’t plan on becoming a teacher.

Tanya, our philosophy teacher, brought a holistic approach and had extensive experience in the yoga world across the globe. I found it extremely interesting to listen and learn from her. It was a great balance! Eleni, on the other hand, was an amazing teacher with a lot of experience and an energetic personality. She always gave clear instructions and explanations on alignments. We all learned so much and her classes were always enjoyable! I’m definitely going to miss having her as our teacher.

The food was starting to feel a bit repetitive, but hey, if you ever crave something different, you can always go out and grab a bite!

Let me tell you, our philosophy and anatomy teachers are absolutely amazing! I adore them. They’re incredibly knowledgeable, although I do think they could be a tad more prepared for some of the questions they get bombarded with.

And let me tell you about the people you meet at the YTT! They’re simply incredible, from the teachers to your fellow “classmates” and even the staff at the restaurant and accommodation.

Now, our Vinyasa and alignment teacher, Gourav, he’s a real gem! He’s not only super knowledgeable but also funny, and attending his classes is always a delight.

You’re going to learn so much during this experience, and everyone is always ready to lend a hand and answer your questions. The support is just amazing!

Honestly, it was one of the most touching and beautiful experiences of my life. There were even moments where I couldn’t help but shed some happy tears in class. I highly recommend it, and if I had the chance, I would do it all over again tomorrow!

It just didn’t meet my expectations. They had promised us a different yoga teacher along with Himansu, but we didn’t receive that. I had also signed up to learn other styles of yoga like Tantra, Yin, and Pregnancy yoga, in addition to Ashtanga and Vinyasa. However, besides a one-off class, we weren’t properly educated on these styles to be able to teach them confidently in our own practice.

The course focused on asana and the mind, but it was lacking in soul and leadership skills. Our group was quite challenging to deal with, as some members were opinionated and sometimes rude. They would fall asleep during lessons, skip class, meditate lying down, and even be on their phones. There was no real leader to control this behavior.

Overall, it felt like a trial course to test if they could offer a 300-hour program. I would have been satisfied if they had informed me of this beforehand and adjusted the price accordingly. The accommodation and food were okay, as were the individual teachers.

Chris invited us to an amazing class experience at a resort with live music, and it was so cool! He taught in a way that was easy to follow and engage with, and he’s just a super fun and chilled person. The food and cafe area at the resort were lovely!
The rice fields surrounding the area were great, and it was so calming to be there. Plus, there were two massage places nearby, which was a bonus! My accommodation was a home stay, and it was absolutely lovely.

I didn’t like the philosophy classes at all and I wasn’t particularly fond of the alignment methodology either. It bothered me that they sold a training for 30 people and then had two groups of 30 people at the same time. It was overwhelming and I think smaller groups create a different atmosphere. I really enjoyed the opportunity to experience another country and the amazing beaches. The quality of the vinyasa classes was excellent, but the learning methodology was lacking at times. The food was delicious and local, which I didn’t expect, but it surprised me and I liked it. What resonated with me the most was the group of people I met.

YogaUnion gave us the most incredible experience we could have ever imagined. The place is stunning, the food is absolutely delicious, and the teachers… WOW! They shared their deep knowledge with us, filled with love, gratitude, and compassion. They always say that YogaUnion is our family now, and it truly feels that way! A big thank you to Ourania, Eleni, Faye, Ippo, Alex, Gaia, Jonah, Angela, Georgia, and all the staff at Kosta Maria who have been incredibly kind. We are forever grateful.

I really liked the course and my time there, but I do have a few small critiques. Sometimes it was a bit difficult to leave the hotel, but that’s mainly because of the infrastructure in Palairos. The food was good, and they accommodated lactose-free/vegan diets. However, the signage and the selections were sometimes a bit strange, so I think they just need to practice a bit more and come up with more varied dishes.

I would have liked to have more opportunities to practice our own sequences, but I understand that there wasn’t much time for it since we had to learn so much in a short amount of time. Personally, I would have preferred the course to be a couple of days longer, with less time spent on exams, so that the teachers could have more time with each of our personal flows. I know that might not be possible in real life though, considering that even the other 200h courses I looked at were even shorter!

Not everything was always well planned, and sometimes we didn’t receive information promptly, but everything still worked out in the end. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I’m grateful to have embarked on this yoga journey. The course was intense, as I expected, but I learned a lot. I especially loved the kind staff at Kosta Maria and the beautiful location.

Before the course, I had several expectations, and I’m happy to say that they were all fulfilled. I hoped for physically challenging training, and it definitely was! I wanted to learn a holistic view on yoga, and there was a good variety of perspectives presented to us. I also expected the course to be intense and focused, and it was mentally demanding, but I’m glad I chose this over a year-long 200h course. I didn’t want it to be too spiritual, and they struck a nice balance by providing introductions to the spiritual world without pressuring us into it, such as with chanting. Lastly, I wanted to understand myself better, and I truly do now. I feel incredibly grateful for all the knowledge I gained.

I really didn’t like Gourrav. He’s a well-intentioned instructor, but he has absolutely no communication skills. I’m not sure if he just can’t express himself well or if his thoughts get lost in translation. His Pranayam and vinyassa classes drove me crazy because he kept using the same words over and over again. It was disappointing when he graded our final exams instead of Himanshu because his feedback was terrible and didn’t match what actually happened in class. He’s just not up to par with the other instructors at Yoga Union!

The workshops on children’s yoga and prenatal yoga with Itta weren’t very helpful either. She’s a great person but not a good teacher. She had no structure to her classes and it felt like she was just making things up as she went along. I would have much preferred to learn about yogic philosophy or have an ayurvedic clinician come in to talk about the doshas or yogic diet.

But overall, I’m really grateful for this experience! The teachers at Yoga Union were passionate, knowledgeable, and engaging. I learned so much about yogic philosophy, history, anatomy, and teaching structure. The shala was beautiful and I actually enjoyed the large class size. Having two classes happening at the same time meant there were always new people to meet. The Fire shala had a much nicer space than the Earth shala though, so I recommend asking to be in the Fire group. Everyone at Yoga Union was amazing to get to know – the housekeepers, shala cleaners, and cooks were all thoughtful, generous, and kind. Living and practicing in the rice fields was a beautiful experience. And let’s not forget about the food! I’ll miss it so much. They had a perfect mix of Indonesian and global dishes, which was great for me as a vegan.

The food could have had more variety, and after a while, it felt like we were eating the same 5 or 6 recipes over and over again. Plus, sometimes the food was too salty or too sweet for my liking. But not everyone had the same opinion ? I guess it’s just a matter of personal taste. Before I booked the training, I spent a lot of time reading reviews from former students, and I was skeptical. It seemed too good to be true. But this training completely changed my life. I wasn’t completely sure if I wanted to be a yoga teacher before, but now I can’t imagine doing anything else. Yoga makes me so happy and connected to my true self like nothing else can.
We were really lucky to have such an amazing group of students. Everyone was so beautiful and sweet, and from the very beginning, we genuinely cared about each other. We spent these three weeks in a loving and supportive environment where we felt safe to fully dedicate ourselves to our practice. I’ve made friends for life, and I feel incredibly fortunate about that!
Now, let me tell you about the teachers, Rachel and Ippoliti aka Ippo or Ippopo or Chop Chop. They exceeded all expectations, and I’ll remember their teaching and their personalities for the rest of my life, no doubt. They not only taught us what we needed to know for the exam, but they also shared their experiences as yogis and as human beings. They inspired me in so many ways.
Before the training, I only knew about asana and pranayama. But learning about philosophy, anatomy, and alignment has deepened my practice so much more than before. It feels like I have a vast ocean of knowledge about yoga in front of me, and even a lifetime wouldn’t be enough to learn half of it.
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Kostas and his family, who also made this training so special. I feel so much love and appreciation for them!

The training is amazing! The teachers are fantastic and have an exceptional level of knowledge. They also organize the training in a fantastic way and are always there for support. The setting is absolutely beautiful with a sea view during the courses. The beds are so comfortable and the rooms have air conditioning. The hotel staff is like a family, so sweet and kind. And let me tell you, the porridge is absolutely incredible. Thank you for everything, it has truly been the best experience of my life!

Me and 7 other students out of the group of 30 ended up staying at a different place that was a 5-minute car ride or a 20-minute walk away from the main accommodation. It didn’t really bother me that much to stay somewhere else, but the problem was that our daily rides to the main accommodation were hardly ever on time, which caused us to sometimes be late for class and have to walk instead.

They advertised it as Vinyasa/Ashtanga training, but in my opinion, it was really just Vinyasa training. However, they did cover almost all styles of yoga, including Yin, Restorative, and Yoga Nidra. Overall, my experience at YogaUnion was amazing. The teachers, Ippoliti, Rachel, and Eleni, were all extremely knowledgeable and kind. The classes were informative, and the teachers were always available to answer questions. The staff at the accommodation were also very caring and kind. And let me tell you, the food they served was always delicious! Whenever I felt sick, the staff took care of me, adjusted the food for my needs, and checked on me every day to make sure I was okay!

I absolutely loved the whole experience.

I am so glad I chose this YTT. I couldn’t have asked for a better training. I still can’t believe it actually happened!

What I loved the most:
-The location: the shala was absolutely stunning, nestled in peaceful ricefields. It was secluded yet conveniently close to Ubud city center for food and shopping.
-The teachers: Fay, Himanshu, and Spyros were all incredible. They really pushed us physically during vinyasa practice. Their sense of humor was essential in helping us remember important things. It was a lot to learn in just three weeks, but I had a blast!
-The organization: everything was perfect. The instructions were clear, and the accommodation and meals were located very close to the shala.

In conversational tone, it would be rewritten as:

The trainer really brought great energy to our session, and they worked with us and pushed us to be our best. I had an amazing training experience.

I loved everything! Just wish they had more green vegetables at meal times and maybe a longer break between breakfast and lunch. But I absolutely adored the location and the staff at YogaUnion. They made this trip so smooth and effortless, allowing me to fully focus on the course.

I had an amazing experience. The course structure, lessons, and teachers were all top-notch. I couldn’t have asked for better training. The accommodation felt like home, and they made us feel incredibly welcome. The food kept us energized, and Elli, Adonis, and Kostas took such great care of us. I’m so grateful to everyone I met on my journey to becoming a yoga teacher.

I really enjoyed the teachers, the food, and the group of students.

It’s not fair for others when some people book a double room but end up getting a single room for the same price. Also, sometimes the break during the day feels a bit too short on time. But overall, I really loved the program. It was so intense and I haven’t felt this challenged in a long time, in such a positive way mentally, physically, and personally. The teachers were incredibly patient and accepting of everyone, and they always tried to bring out the best in us, which I really appreciate and enjoyed.

I had an absolutely amazing Greek experience with the best group and teachers. Those 3 weeks of rapid growth as a yoga practitioner and future instructor were unforgettable. We had great alignment classes, deep philosophy learning, and exciting anatomy studies. I feel blessed to be part of the YogaUnionFamily now and I definitely plan on doing the 300 hours course in Bali sometime. Huge thanks to Spyros, Yeni, Tanya, and Faye for everything.

Yoga Union showed their expertise in yoga teacher trainings through our Paleros one. They offered a well-structured curriculum, incredible teachers, personalized feedback, opportunities to teach right from the beginning, and a fantastic location. And let me tell you, if you ever get the opportunity to work with Fay Balomenou, don’t think twice! Working with her is absolutely the highlight of this teacher training!

I’m thrilled with my decision to pursue this training, and I’m so excited to be a part of the Yoga Union family now!

To be honest, not much happened. But whenever something came up, the staff really went out of their way to help us and find a solution. It was pretty amazing!

This yoga teacher training was absolutely incredible. I can confidently say it’s one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve ever had. Our teachers, Ippoliti and Rachel, were just fantastic. They were both amazing at teaching and I learned so much about the theory and practice of Yoga. My meditation skills have improved so much too!

And let me tell you about the chef. He’s seriously the nicest person you’ll ever meet. He always made sure the food he cooked was something we loved and we were all super excited for every meal. Plus, the whole group got along so well. We really enjoyed each other’s company!

The hotel was nice and simple. They even had some adorable animals in the garden that you could hang out with. For someone like me who loves animals, it was such a treat!

And let me not forget about Palairos. It’s such a beautiful town with a beach that’s still relatively untouched. We made sure to go for a swim every day after our classes. It was pure bliss.

I have to give a special shoutout to Ippoliti. She was incredibly helpful and kind throughout the entire training. We’re definitely going to miss her. <3

I loved everything about this training! The location took my breath away, the food and accommodation were fantastic, and the teaching was outstanding. They perfectly balanced physical asana practice, meditation, lectures, and alignment classes in the course. The teachers, especially Ippoliti, were incredibly helpful and always ready to assist us. The group size was just right, and I formed lifelong friendships with my fellow yoga teachers. Ourania was absolutely amazing and incredibly knowledgeable. Her classes were also incredibly fun! I was so blown away by the course that I decided to extend my trip and join the 50-hour Yin Teacher Training course, which was just as magical. I will forever be grateful to YogaUnion and proud to be a part of the YogaUnion family. Oh, and there was the cutest baby kitten at the hostel too!

The accommodation in Greece didn’t meet our expectations. We had numerous centipedes and other insects in our room every day because the door didn’t shut properly, leaving a small gap at the bottom. Besides that, our room lacked a washing machine and a closet. They didn’t clean the rubbish bin in our bathroom daily, as promised. They only did it once a week, despite asking us to throw our used toilet paper in it. Moreover, the food they cooked was very similar every day and sometimes there wasn’t enough for all of us.

But overall, the teacher training was amazing! It’s just a shame the accommodation wasn’t up to par.

I wouldn’t change anything except for the food, which could be more varied. But I understand it must have been challenging to cook for 20 girls with different dietary needs! This three-week intensive course has been the most incredible experience of my life so far. Everything was absolutely amazing: the place (a very authentic Greek village), the hostel and the family who runs it (such lovely people always ready to help and make sure we had everything), the instructors (Fay, Spyros, and Ourania) were wonderful human beings who exceeded our expectations, the shala with its magical view, and the yoga and meditation classes and workshops… I could talk about it all day. I’m so grateful I decided to join the Yoga Union Bali family on this journey and I’m excited about everything that lies ahead. I rarely feel this connected to life, nature, and people. Thank you so much for everything you did for us. You will always hold a special place in my heart, along with the 19 other amazing girls who I now consider family. I’m confident we’ll meet again, as positive energy attracts positive people!

The food could have had more variety, but it still tasted good. Our shala was really crowded, I wish we could have practiced in a bigger space. The whole experience, including the location, activities, and the people I met, changed my life. Nicol was an amazing teacher, and I learned so much about my body and the obstacles I face. I always looked forward to doing pranayama and meditation every morning with Kati, who taught me how to understand and love myself more. I enjoyed having a lot of people in the course because it allowed me to connect with people from all over the world and see different levels of strength and flexibility, as well as the challenges that people can face.

Der Lehrer hat viel zu große Klassen. Sie gehen nicht auf Probleme ein. Das Hotel und die Lage sind.

Nina and I didn’t learn much in anatomy class and our philosophy class wasn’t great either. The 108 sun solution practice in this course was a mistake – it left many students feeling exhausted and broken. Personally, I shouldn’t have done it at all. However, our yoga teacher was fantastic, very positive, and knowledgeable. And Jones, our anatomy teacher, was excellent.

The food here could definitely be improved. It’s usually the same every time, but really good when it all comes together. You’ll learn a ton through your practice here that will benefit you for life.

I had an absolute blast at Yoga Union! The shala in the rice fields is simply beautiful. It felt like I was living in a little smurf village surrounded by all these wonderful fellow yogis. Plus, the vegan and vegetarian food was super yummy and healthy. Let me tell you, the teachers there are absolutely amazing. I would give them a 12/10 and definitely recommend going. Namaste!

I absolutely loved the whole experience again. The rice fields took my breath away. I can’t think of a single thing I didn’t like. The atmosphere was so warm and welcoming, which made us feel open, vulnerable, free, and receptive. The kitchen staff really went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, even when a few people got sick – they would cook rice and bring it to us where we were staying. The classes were amazing. Celine is a warrior goddess with the best flows that make you feel empowered and strong. The location in the rice fields was absolutely stunning and helped clear my mind. I already want to go back, and I just got home! I would give this experience a 10/10 and would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for this incredible experience.

The spoiled food made around fifteen people sick.
The last week consists of students giving classes to be evaluated, but we splurged on budget to do yoga with qualified teachers and learn.
To get corrected, you need to call the teachers, they won’t come on their own.
I was clearly told that if I didn’t pay by this afternoon, I would have to leave immediately!
Be sure to truly understand English perfectly even though the website says it’s accessible to everyone!
The graduation ceremony is very minimal. Amazing journey.
Beautiful setting.
Intense training.
Great encounters.
Being able to learn so much about yoga and oneself.
Passionate and qualified teachers.
Free shuttle to go to town.

The group might be a bit too large. The teachers are nice and ambitious, and the atmosphere is beautiful.

The food got repetitive after 3 weeks but it was still good. These teachers really know how to bring the passion. Thanks a lot for that The surrounding and the shala in the rice fields look stunning!

I’m not picky when it comes to food, but it was really bad, the same dishes regularly. The food is vegetarian but not healthy.
If you don’t speak English well, I highly recommend not signing up for this course. There’s a lot of theory and philosophy that is important to understand for the rest of your training. Personally, I don’t speak English well and I don’t understand much either. I tried the experience but it was very difficult because I had to do double work (translating my manuals into French). The yoga classes were amazing with an extraordinary and professional teacher. I loved practicing with all the teachers who were very humble. It was a unique experience with beautiful encounters.

Don’t worry about a thing! I recommend arriving two days early to adjust to the time difference and weather so you can really enjoy your time here. And if you can, stay at least a week longer to explore the island, Gili, or Nusa Penida. The course is intense with only two Sundays off, so you’ll want that time to relax, not cram in extra activities. The teachers were amazing in teaching asana, anatomy, and philosophy – I learned so much and their passion and care really helped everything stick. The daily classes were excellent too (shoutout to Nikol and Himanshu).

The accommodation at Mansion Resort is like a dream honeymoon spot! I splurged on my own double room and it was totally worth it. The staff was friendly, rooms were cleaned daily, and the Shalas where you practice yoga were absolutely beautiful. Just a heads up, you won’t be staying in town but there’s a free shuttle a few times a day or a taxi for £8 each way. You can also rent a scooter nearby.

The food was good, especially if you’re a veggie like me. The only thing missing was a coffee supply in the afternoon, but you can grab an iced coffee at the cafe for £3.50.

The food needs more variety and is becoming repetitive. The Philosophy teacher isn’t always clear. Classes are really good though – Nikol is a brilliant yoga teacher with tons of experience. She knows her stuff. I’ve learned so much from her. The location is beautiful, the staff is friendly, and Spyros, the anatomy teacher, has a great approach to teaching. He explains things in an easy and enjoyable way. Met some lovely people and really enjoyed the experience.

Thank you, Yoga Union, for the incredible experience. I didn’t believe the reviews at first, but I ended up learning and growing so much in such a short time. Spyros, Ourania, Himanshu, Celine, and Sirios were so dedicated and passionate throughout the three weeks. They answered all our questions and pushed us out of our comfort zones. They never let us give up, especially Himanshu! Immersing myself in this intense program for three weeks has truly changed my perspective and given me a more holistic view of yoga. The energy of the teachers was so inspirational and made me believe that I can achieve anything if I set my mind to it. Thanks for everything!

The chefs didn’t provide a lot of variety or flavor in the food at first, but they managed to make improvements towards the end of the last week. You could really taste the difference.

We have experienced teachers in a welcoming and engaging environment that encourages personal growth and a deeper understanding of the yogic way of life.

The schedule may be tough and demanding, but this program is designed to educate experienced practitioners on guiding yogis through flows and mindfulness practices, rather than being a leisurely retreat.

I only didn’t like the lack of variety in the food sometimes. But overall, Nikol and the other teachers were amazing and knowledgeable, and they provided a well-structured course.

Just a friendly reminder to all students about the etiquette when arranging your mat. The entrance to the shala can get a bit crowded sometimes. I absolutely adore Nikol’s fast-paced Vinyasa classes – they really get me sweating!

I love that the shala and bedrooms are all located in the same place at The Mansion. It’s so convenient not having to worry about commuting.

The training really expanded my understanding of asana and human anatomy, subjects I was interested in but didn’t know much about.

We got to study and practice the traditional Sun Salutations, which quickly became my favorite part of the training.

The yoga teacher training at YogaUnion was beyond amazing! The teachers were professional and wonderful, the location in the rice fields was stunning, and the quality of training materials and attention given to each student was top-notch.

The training covered everything you need to know to confidently teach yoga. The yoga shala in the rice fields was beautiful, and the accommodation was excellent and just a short walk away. The restaurant where we ate had delicious vegetarian (and vegan) food and was only a 2-minute walk from the shala.

The teachers were fantastic, and the overall quality of the training was outstanding. This training was well worth the time, money, and energy, and exceeded all of my expectations. I highly recommend YogaUnion for anyone looking to become a certified yoga teacher or deepen their practice.

I loved the area so much. The Shala felt like a dream and the people were amazing. The food was fantastic and I never went hungry. If anything, I ate too much. But I am super happy about the training and I highly recommend it.

The food at the retreat can get repetitive. Accommodations vary – some stay in a mansion resort, some in the rice fields. There’s a wide range of places to stay. I wish they had been more clear about the differences. However, the experience was life-changing. It would have been nice to have more focus on spirituality and self-development, but overall, it was incredible.

The group is usually about 30 people, and we all became like family. But if you prefer smaller, more intimate groups, this may not be the right retreat for you. I personally prefer smaller groups for more one-on-one time. But the retreat is amazing, which is why so many people come here. You won’t regret it.

I was in the rice fields, which provided a beautiful and peaceful setting for my yoga teacher training. The training was physically intense but very rewarding. The teachers are knowledgeable and caring. The food was decent, though it did get repetitive. The cooks were kind and the experience was truly unforgettable.

I was not sure what to expect when I booked this retreat, but I was pleasantly surprised. The views of women and femininity in philosophy, vegan food without labels, and overly theoretical teaching of philosophy were not what I expected. However, my overall experience was very good.

At first, I doubted my abilities to participate fully, but I ended up surprising myself. I believe it was the positive energy and nurturing environment created by Ourania and Spyros that helped me grow. They are truly magical people with a strong, loving aura that is hard to resist.

The setting, surrounded by rice fields and a charming village, while still being close to Ubud’s city center, was truly magical. It was a pleasure to be there and I am grateful for the experience.

This adventure truly changed my life. I entered a bubble of positivity and learned how to take care of myself and others. The yoga philosophy is everywhere and the team is amazing! I loved every aspect of my YTT journey and choosing Yoga Union was the best decision! Thank you so much.

The teachers varied in their standard of teaching, but overall, they were generally good. Since I already had a pretty advanced physical practice, I noticed that the course tended to cater more to beginners. The anatomy and philosophy teachings were also more suited for those just starting out. The location and accommodation at Ubud Nirwa Karma were excellent. The food was simple but delicious. The shala was fantastic, and the infrastructure of the place was well set up. This course is a great choice for a self-development trip, especially for beginners.

I read every review and everyone said the food is repetitive and standard. Honestly, you don’t need a lot of variety with all the physical stress your body goes through every day. It was exactly what my body needed after two hours of vinyasa each day. I’m so glad I picked this course. I looked through thousands in different countries, but this one exceeded my expectations by far. It was really tough. They suggest reading a few books beforehand, so I did. They recommend having a yoga routine before you start, so I did a little bit. Three weeks wasn’t enough. There was so much information to absorb, but when you succeed, it’s incredibly gratifying. The group I was with were some of the most amazing people I’ve ever met. We became like a family, and it was beautiful. We laughed, we cried, I even got a few bruises… but it was all worth it. And for the super affordable price, it was so much more than I expected. Nikki was an incredible instructor. She pushed you to see what you’re capable of, and you truly surprise yourself. Spyros was the best anatomy instructor. He’s so passionate! Thank you, Yoga Union!

All the instructors possess great knowledge and experience. They organized everything well, including classes, shala, accommodation, and food. I attended lectures on anatomy, philosophy, and asana labs, which helped me gain a deeper understanding of yoga. This has made me feel safer and more confident in my practice. The location, a shala in the rice fields, is simply breathtaking! If you’re considering enrolling in this course, make sure to savor every moment and appreciate the beautiful, tranquil surroundings.

I loved everything about the training. I wish I could have seen and experienced the main union yoga shala in the ricefields, but because I was in the mansion resort group, I couldn’t. Also, I think the closing ceremony is nicer and more authentic there. The resort was sometimes noisy since our shala was near the pool area, so it wasn’t ideal for certain classes. But overall, the resort is very nice! The teachers are amazing. They teach you all you need to know about Asanas, alignment, variation, and the benefits of it all. They care for you and teach with a serious love and commitment to yoga. It’s like tough but caring love for all the students. I am thankful to Nikole, our main teacher, for all the effort, patience, and care she put into teaching us. Spiros and Ourania are wonderful too and really build a great yoga community here. It’s a lot of information to take in during the 3 weeks, so remember to rest and clear your mind between classes to absorb it all again for the exam. The teaching structure starts right away, and you build your flow step by step, teaching each other. It’s an intense physical, mental, and emotional experience, but amazing, and people grow into a yogi family. I will forever be thankful I did this! Namaste.

I wish lunch/dinner meals had more protein. The philosophy classes could have been more engaging, even though the teacher was inspiring. The asana practice was amazing, the group was great, and the location was fantastic. I’ve already recommended it to my friends. It exceeded my expectations. The course had a good variety and the length was just right.

I had an amazing experience with Yoga Union. The accommodation at The Mansion was incredibly comfortable – it was a beautiful resort. The course itself provided a wealth of information, and each of our teachers really went above and beyond to teach us everything they could during our time there. The daily Vinyasa practices completely transformed my strength and fitness levels by the end of the retreat. Overall, the experience was truly incredible, and I couldn’t have asked for a better course.

The hotel had spotty wifi, but that’s on them, not YogaUnion. Also, there are cute cafes nearby with great food and fast wifi if you need it. I really can’t think of anything negative to say! The team at YogaUnion is fantastic; they are knowledgeable and present information in an easy-to-understand way. Nikol, Spyros, and Ourania are amazing teachers and people. They made me feel like part of the family from day one. The accommodations were beautiful and the schedule was busy but well-organized. There was enough free time to explore Ubud, a fantastic town.
Choosing this YTT was the best decision I’ve ever made. I feel confident as a yoga teacher and as a better person overall. The YogaUnion team worked hard to create an incredible course for their students, and it definitely paid off! If you’re thinking about taking your 200hr training with YogaUnion, just go for it! You won’t regret it, I promise.

I struggled to understand the instructor. Also, class ended early, which meant I would have preferred longer classroom or yoga sessions. The anatomy lessons were great – they explained difficult concepts in simple English and with visuals. I really liked how we reviewed the technical details of the morning class (like which meridians) right after.

I loved staying in the rice fields! But, some of us, including myself, didn’t know we had a choice between the rice fields and the mansion until we got there and the groups were already split. I think it would be better if we were informed about the options when booking. Even though I was happy with where I stayed, everyone’s preferences can vary. So, knowing in advance will keep everyone satisfied.

Deciding to come for yoga teacher training was the best decision I ever made. If you’re still unsure, just go for it! You’ll benefit so much from it, whether you plan to teach afterward or not. Bali has a special energy that helps release negative vibes we carry. And with amazing teachers like Ourania and Himanshu, along with other incredible people you’ll meet, the experience is life-changing. It’s a peaceful place where you can be yourself, surrounded by supportive companions.

The training is tough, challenging you physically and emotionally. There will be moments when you want to quit, but your fellow trainees will motivate you to keep going. You’ll see personal growth, no matter your reasons for joining. It’s not a guarantee that all your problems will vanish or you’ll become a perfect teacher overnight, but practice and dedication are key. YogaUnion in Ubud is the ideal place to start.

To my group mates from the September course – I’m grateful to have met you all. You’ve helped me grow and believe in myself more. I hope we’ve aided each other too. Good luck in all your endeavors! And a big THANK YOU to our amazing teachers for imparting your wisdom to us.

It was a bit stressful because we learned a lot (which was amazing) in a very short time. The yoga practice was perfect, with a great schedule, amazing teachers and workshops. They taught a very clear vinyasa style. The accommodations at the Mansion were amazing.

I recommend revising the training book to correct mistakes and add missing postures. Apart from that, everything is perfect. The ricefield yoga shala is like a dream, with every little detail surrounding the place being unique. It was incredible to be a part of Yoga Union’s classes in Bali, specifically the ricefield group. The remote location away from busy Ubud, the calming sounds of nature, the pathway to the beautiful shala, and the amazing restaurant 308 all made the experience magical. I stayed at Nirwa Ubud Karma, and it was comfortable beyond words.

The owners of Yoga Union, Ourania and Spyros, are the cutest couple you’ll ever see and embody the definition of love. They not only share love with each other but also show it to their students. It was heartwarming to feel loved and supported by them during the intense training. The whole crew, including Himanshu, Jonas, Saavas, Juan Carlos, Florence, and Pablo, were incredibly professional and competent.

Choosing this training to learn how to teach and share yoga was the best decision I’ve made. I am grateful to the teachers and students of the August session for making this training an unforgettable experience. Thank you for everything.

The Yoga teacher training at YogaUnion was a truly unforgettable experience. At first, I wasn’t sure if I should even do a Yoga training. However, the three weeks spent with my fellow Yogis, the teachers, and the magic of Bali convinced me that it was the right decision. So, to anyone reading this who is still on the fence about booking a retreat, go for it!

The teachers at YogaUnion were all excellent! They had a great variety of personalities and teaching styles, so there was something for everyone to learn from. I always felt like I was in a safe space. The teachers were professional, experienced, patient, and always showed a great understanding for us students. I especially enjoyed the challenging Vinyasa classes with Savvas and the interesting anatomy lessons with Jonas. They made me want to study more about the physical body in the future.

All we could find was that we were a very big group of people. We ended up being 40 in our group, which made it difficult for teachers to give individual feedback. But since August is high season, I expected a big group, and the Shala is spacious enough to accommodate many people. It was an amazing time overall. I miss the beautiful Shala in the rice fields and the lovely teachers every day. I have no regrets about choosing this training, and I would do it again and again! Thanks to all the teachers and organizers for making it possible and giving your all!

This program is perfect for those seeking a once in a lifetime experience! Whether you want to become a Yoga teacher or just want to grow personally and in your practice, I highly recommend this training. I loved how I was challenged physically, mentally, and emotionally in such beautiful ways. I pushed past limits, laughed, cried, and felt so grateful to be in Bali surrounded by rice fields, practicing in a stunning shala, with inspiring yogis from all over the world and amazing teachers who shared their wisdom with us. The knowledge I gained will stay with me forever, both for my personal practice and as a Yoga teacher. The cafe where we ate was fantastic, with attentive and kind staff who provided delicious vegan and gluten free options. The hotel I stayed at (Restu) was good, with any issues quickly resolved. Overall, the experience was incredible and I’ll cherish it forever. I can’t wait to return to Ubud!

I wish they had served more fruit during lunch and dinner. I also would have preferred smaller groups of up to 30 people for the final lessons, as it was a bit overwhelming to do all the classes.

Some accommodations were better than others, like some rooms had water and kettles while others didn’t. The shala in the rice fields is amazing! Ourania, Spyros, and the team have truly created a paradise oasis. They are so warm and welcoming, making you feel like family from the start.

The instructors were great for all levels, from beginners to advanced. I was worried about teaching in a group, but they provided such a solid foundation and gentle guidance that it felt natural. Just a week after the course, I started training clients with confidence, something I never thought possible.

The walk to the shala along the lane from the accommodations was unforgettable. The meals were substantial, and the ginger lemongrass tea was a nice touch. The balance between classes and downtime was perfect, and I recommend reading the training manual daily instead of waiting until the last minute.

Listen to your body during the long classes and don’t hesitate to sit out if needed.

I was blown away by how much the training exceeded my expectations. The location is surreal, the teachers are phenomenal experts in their fields, and they are so incredibly generous. The food was simply delicious. I highly recommend it and would definitely do it again…and again!

We only had a large group, so we didn’t get much personal critique on our teaching or yoga practice. But that was probably because it was August. However, the big group brought a great energy and it was awesome to share the experience with people from all over the world. Plus, more students meant more to learn from. The Shala’s location in the rice fields was stunning, and they really put effort into making it beautiful. It was an honor to be surrounded by the nature and magic of Ubud every day, away from the bustling center.

The teachers were top-notch and each had their own charm and specialties. They made us feel welcome and safe, and took care of everyone’s needs. The variety of yoga styles and workshops was just right. The course really set us up well to become teachers, especially in the short time frame. I also got to work on improving my own practice.

The anatomy and philosophy lessons were taught well and gave a different perspective on Yoga beyond just the physical aspect. The food at the nearby restaurant exceeded expectations with a good variety and they were accommodating to dietary needs.

Overall, I had an amazing time and will always be thankful to YogaUnion for such a fulfilling experience.

Food… sometimes lacks research but hey, no big deal! Clear explanation, challenge, kindness, understanding, achievable expectations. Everything exceeded my expectations

Our group was pretty large this time of year, which sometimes caused issues at meal times and when there was only one teacher in the shala. But they did a great job making sure everyone was involved.

The arrival experience could have been smoother with clearer instructions, but overall the course was excellent. Each teacher brought their own authentic style to the table, giving us a variety of perspectives and teaching styles that were truly inspiring. Their passion for yoga and the yogic lifestyle was contagious.

This course came at the perfect time in my life and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. It was truly enriching in ways I never imagined.

We only ate tofu and rice every day. I wish the program included a bit more spirituality and philosophy. The teachers were extremely experienced. The teacher training was top-notch. I absolutely loved it! The instructors were very knowledgeable. I learned so much in such a short amount of time. It’s an experience that I will always hold dear. Ubud is the most beautiful place. I will definitely recommend it to everyone.

Unfortunately, due to conditions beyond the school’s control, the location did not meet my expectations. Living in Dubai, I was thrilled to visit Ubud and immerse myself in the rice fields and nature. However, we ended up staying at the Mansion hotel instead. Don’t get me wrong, the hotel was beautiful, and we were treated exceptionally well, but I had come for a nature and yoga experience.

Despite that, I did have the opportunity to visit Yoga Union’s shala, which was absolutely breathtaking! It was the most beautiful shala I have ever seen, surrounded by lush rice fields. I adored the teachers, and the whole experience was incredible, aiding in my journey to becoming a yoga teacher. The interactive and enjoyable learning experience provided me with valuable knowledge and skills each day.

The teachers took great care of us, ensuring our well-being every step of the way. The lessons were inspiring, and I learned something new every day. I made wonderful connections with some amazing people whom I hope to remain friends with for life. I look forward to returning to Yoga Union someday. I highly recommend this school to anyone aspiring to become a yoga teacher.

Maybe the food was just very repetitive, but still delicious. That’s all I could fault! Everything was faultless. The teachers are incredible and supportive, and will continue to be in the future. The amount of anatomy covered made me feel confident in myself and my teaching going forward in life, which doesn’t happen in a lot of other courses, from what I’ve heard. I couldn’t fault this experience at all.

I loved every minute of the Yoga Teacher Training! Ourania, Spyros, Sarah, and Magda, thank you so much for an amazing experience. I didn’t like that it had to end and I had to go back home; it was the best experience in my life so far. I wish I could relive it all over again! Every meditation, Vinyasa, Yin class, workshop, alignment, anatomy, and philosophy class was fantastic. It was a tough journey, but every minute was worth it. I’m glad I trusted my intuition and booked my training with YogaUnion.

“Il se peut que je diversifie la nourriture sur les trois semaines. Mais je ne peux pas dire que je n’ai pas aimé. C’était juste que ça aurait été encore mieux ! Leurs compétences, leurs connaissances, leur façon de les partager avec nous. Leur disponibilité. C’est un endroit magique.”

The food could have been tastier. Breakfast was good but lunch and dinner lacked flavor. However, there are plenty of affordable options around for both meals if you want some variety in your diet during the 3 weeks.

The teachers always gladly shared their knowledge, the yoga shala was in a beautiful location in the middle of the rice fields, and the positive energy of the group made this training a wonderful experience.

Everything was great but maybe there’s room for improvement with the food. I wish there was more love and variety in the preparation, sticking to local dishes.

I’m thankful for this amazing experience and highly recommend this teacher training to anyone looking for personal growth through yoga. Big thanks to the three teachers who guided us with love and care throughout these three weeks.

I absolutely loved everything! I wish I could stay longer :)+

Thank you for giving me this wonderful experience. I highly recommend this training – the teachers have great experience and the surroundings and people are beautiful. Everything was organized very well too. Hopefully, I’ll see you again soon!

Saying goodbye to all the beautiful people I met was tough. I loved everything about the training, especially the teachers and our group. We created a unique energy that made it really hard to leave. The teachers are all passionate about sharing their knowledge and love of yoga. The practice and program challenged me, but the supportive environment helped me grow more confident in myself and my ability to teach yoga. Our classes were held in a shala overlooking rice fields, making it the perfect setting for practicing and learning.

I never wanted it to end! What a transformative experience!!!!!!! The best, kindest, and most caring teachers guided me and supported me, laughed and cried with me, and enriched me in ways beyond my imagination. I stayed at a great place with the most wonderful host in the world, Anna! But the most beautiful part was the lovely humans I met, confided in, and became friends for life with. Now, we’re running our wellness business together! Doing what I love with people I love is the best thing in the world. Thank you Yoga Union and all the lovely people and experiences. Sending much love. xx

The teachers at Yoga Union were super nice and helped us with everything we needed. The location, in the rice fields of Ubud, is just beautiful, and the course was intense but amazing. I can totally recommend Yoga Union and will probably come back next year for the 300 hrs YTT.

Thanks to the Yoga Union family for an amazing time in Bali and for sharing all your knowledge with us!

I was sad that it had to end… and those giant critters You’ll find some accommodations that are open and airy, so make sure to have plenty of bug repellent and white tiger balm on hand. My experience was incredible beyond words! It truly went above and beyond my expectations. Just give it your all, participate, and do your best in the course, and you’ll see your yoga practice and life transform. The instructors are so organized in everything they do, the classes are informative and engaging, and I loved the variety of classes they offered and how well they took care of us. I was able to truly focus all my energy on myself. I highly recommend Ourania, Spyros, Sarah, and Jac. Each of them has unique gifts and pours into their students. Don’t hesitate, just go for it!

The food could have been better, but I loved how complete the course was. I feel very prepared to teach and develop my yoga practice 🙂

I didn’t like the location of the accommodation. The house was extremely isolated (not by the beach and no notable view), there were no public transportation, no shop for hygiene products, etc., and the beach was not within walking distance. If we hadn’t rented a car, we wouldn’t have seen anything of the beautiful peninsula. Additionally, my room was in the same building as the yoga classes, dining area, and common room. Personally, this wasn’t ideal for me because it was always relatively noisy and I couldn’t find a quiet place to relax. I spent the whole day going up and down the stairs in the same building. However, the yoga classes were professionally conducted – the instructors were all very passionate and knowledgeable. I learned a lot in a short amount of time and I am truly very happy.

I found it a bit difficult to live in the same house as three other girls where the courses were held. The schedule became more demanding as days passed, and I needed every lunch break and evening time for rest or study. The house was always full of people, and it only got quiet after 10 o’clock, sometimes not even then. It was hard to rest with all the noise. Being confined to the same house for learning, courses, meals, and sleeping felt a bit claustrophobic. Renting a car was a good idea so we could go to the beach or into town during breaks for a change of scenery. The food caused some stomach problems after two weeks, but I managed by eating out occasionally. Overall, the house situation was the only issue I had, but everything else was wonderful. The teachers were passionate, skilled, and dedicated, creating a great learning experience. I would recommend it to anyone looking to grow and learn. The teachers were competent and open, and I enjoyed learning from different experienced yoga teachers. The anatomy and philosophy lessons were interactive and engaging. The surroundings were beautiful, and I made some friends that I hope to keep for years to come. The house we stayed in was lovely, making it a great overall experience.

The place was a bit far from the shops and beaches. Great program, great atmosphere with super friendly people.

I didn’t want it to end because I adored the atmosphere and amazing instructors. Their valuable teachings were top-notch. The hospitable and comfortable accommodations were a treat. And it was all thanks to a wonderfully clean and pure diet.

We had a great experience on the entire trip! The instructors were excellent, and we had a wonderful group.

The day’s structure was spot on. The food was delicious, and Bali, of course, is paradise. But what really blew me away was the incredible instruction. Koralia and Ourenia are both absolutely amazing.

I don’t like to focus on the negatives, so if I could have anything, I would wish for all the participants to stay in one place. But, it wasn’t really a problem because we got to see all those amazing places in the rice fields.

What I loved about this teacher training is that it:
a. Helps you develop on a practical and spiritual level, opening your eyes to yourself and making you look deep inside.
b. Has a strong teaching focus, allowing you to start teaching from week 1 and boosting your confidence by the end.
c. The location, people, food, and teachers all combined to create a magical experience that made me smile every day.

I gained a lot of new knowledge and my body feels rejuvenated.

I just had a problem with the disorganization. We didn’t always know where we were supposed to be in the mornings and had to wander around until we found our teachers. It would have been better if there was a plan laid out for the three weeks ahead of time, instead of just finding out a few days in advance. I understand the teachers wanted to have some flexibility, but having a plan in place would have helped us plan our personal time better and avoid feeling stressed about unexpected changes.

I didn’t receive the Shatkarma kit that was promised and had to specifically ask for the included massage. These things weren’t even mentioned right from the start.

Their teaching was amazing and I learned a lot, but I think they should have someone handling the administrative tasks to take the pressure off so they can focus on teaching. Everything we learned came up in the exam, and our teachers shared a lot of knowledge and personal experiences to help us understand how to adjust others in asanas and how to teach professionally. They were always open to questions and made us feel comfortable.

The location in Ubud, surrounded by beautiful rice fields, was perfect. We had classes in two different locations with incredible views and provided equipment like pillows and blocks. I stayed at Gusti Garden, which was comfortable and the owner was always friendly and helpful. The WiFi was much better than the other location (Prashanti) and the complimentary umbrellas were a nice touch.

The food at Prashanti was delicious, although it wasn’t exactly what I expected in terms of being fully macrobiotic. It was still vegan and Indonesian style.

Overall, I had an amazing time with supportive classmates who have become great friends.

The structure and organization need some serious work. I think they could have really used an assistant. They didn’t handle things correctly, which made many students upset. When we were asked for our feedback, the teachers got defensive and dismissive.

The website said a maximum of 15 people, but we had 35. We were told it didn’t matter, but I believe it did. I didn’t receive enough instruction or assistance, and I often felt lost and ignored. It seemed like certain students got more attention.

I was promised one accommodation but ended up in a much less nice one. It was half the price online compared to what the other girls were staying at, yet I had to pay full price. I expected some compensation for the downgrade, but none was provided. It seemed very unfair. My room had mold issues, which led to a sore throat and runny nose throughout training, and my favorite luggage ended up covered in mold. When I tried to address these issues, I felt completely dismissed.

The shala where we practiced was stunning, and I learned a lot. I appreciated being introduced to different types of yoga beyond Vinyasa, but I would have liked more explanation. The teachers were knowledgeable but not always well-organized. I made some fantastic connections with incredible women.

Great instructions, Ourania is amazing! More than 15 people have been helped.

The accommodation didn’t meet our expectations – the bathroom was musty, damp, and lacked drinking water facilities. Overall, everything was nice but there were some small issues. Due to the large class size, we were spread out between different venues, causing confusion at times. Despite a few hiccups in organization (it was their first time in Bali), both teachers were amazing. They were incredibly strong women with unique qualities, making them fantastic mentors. The long meditation was fantastic and provided a personal experience. The feedback was great and gave me valuable insights into yoga teaching and the lifestyle.

The organization of several things could have been better, but hey, we’re all human and mistakes happen. I absolutely loved the place, it was like paradise – so beautiful and green. The teachers were fantastic, really helpful and understanding.

They advertised 15 people, but we were actually 33, so that’s false advertising. The instructors didn’t really welcome feedback. They didn’t organize the anatomy classes well, and the anatomy book we needed wasn’t on the list they sent, so we had to pay extra to have it printed on A4 paper if we wanted it. The Vinyasa morning classes were amazing! The location is stunning, right in the middle of the rice fields! Coralia’s adjustments were always spot on!
