At World Peace Yoga School, our Yin yoga teacher training aims to provide you with a strong base in Yin yoga. This practice, which focuses on passive stretching and relaxation, can boost your flexibility, improve circulation, and enhance mental clarity. In Yin yoga, we gently hold poses for extended periods, while emphasizing relaxation and deep breathing. By doing so, we effectively release muscle and connective tissue tension, enhance flexibility and joint mobility, and promote a calm state of mind.

What is Yin yoga? It’s a style that focuses on relaxing the body and mind through gentle stretching.

If you’re looking to deepen your practice of Yin yoga and become a certified yoga teacher, Bali is the place for you. Its beautiful natural surroundings, vibrant culture, and unique energy flow create the perfect environment for an immersive Yin yoga training experience. Bali’s long history of spiritual practices and beliefs has infused the land with a special energy that supports meditation, healing, and personal growth.
Good nutrition plays an essential role in maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle. That’s why at World Peace Yoga School, we provide our participants with delicious and nutritious vegetarian meals as part of the course fee. Just keep in mind that on Sundays, we do not offer any food. If you have any dietary restrictions or preferences, please let us know in advance, and we will be more than happy to accommodate them. Our main aim is to create a comfortable and nurturing environment that allows you to focus on your studies and practice. We are committed to making your stay with us as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.
Now, let’s talk about the yogic diet. A yogic diet follows a plant-based approach, emphasizing fresh and organic whole foods. We avoid processed items, additives, preservatives, and artificial sweeteners. This diet is based on the principles of Ayurveda, an ancient Indonesian system of holistic healing that emphasizes the connection between the mind, body, and spirit. It includes fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and herbs while excluding meat, fish, poultry, eggs, onion, garlic, alcohol, and caffeine.
The benefits of the yogic diet are numerous. It promotes physical health by providing essential nutrients, fiber, and antioxidants that can boost your immune system, reduce inflammation, and lower the risk of chronic diseases. Additionally, it enhances mental clarity by avoiding heavy, oily, or stimulating foods, thus improving concentration, memory, and focus. Moreover, following a yogic diet supports spiritual growth by cultivating a pure and harmonious state of mind and body, which fosters spiritual development. Finally, it helps balance your energy by consuming foods that are in harmony with your body’s energy or doshas.
During your stay with us, you can expect the following meals to be included: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks. We want to ensure that you have everything you need to nourish yourself and thrive throughout your time at World Peace Yoga School.
You can register with Yoga Alliance once you complete the course.
You will receive certification after successfully completing the course.
We provide yoga mats, props, and other equipment.
You’ll also receive teaching manuals and course materials.
You’ll have access to practice spaces and yoga studios.
We offer Wi-Fi and other basic amenities.
We provide 4 nights of accommodation.
You will have daily meals, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
You will need to pay for your airfare or other transportation expenses to Bali. Visa fees or other travel-related expenses are also your responsibility. Don’t forget about personal expenses like shopping, extra meals, and drinks. It’s highly recommended to get travel insurance or health insurance. Any additional excursions or activities outside of the program itinerary will require extra payment. If you want spa treatments or other wellness services, you’ll have to cover those costs as well. Any additional instruction or tutoring outside of regular program hours may come with an additional fee. Lastly, if you need to transfer to other locations outside of the program schedule, you will need to arrange and pay for that too.

November 21, 2023 at 12:00 amI’m not sure about the agreement between World Peace Yoga school and the hotel, but I think we could’ve gotten better quality food for the money we paid. When I booked this teacher training, I thought I would be okay with eating the same meal every day, but I was definitely wrong. They served steamed or fried rice, french fries with vegetables, tofu and tempeh, and salad mostly twice a day. Sometimes, the salad wasn’t washed properly or there was mold on the plate. I would have liked more nutritious ingredients like quinoa, lentils, and different types of nuts. Even if they were only offered every third day or so. However, breakfast was good!
Helpful ReviewAnother thing that bothered me was that the teacher training I actually booked was completely different from what I experienced. The pictures of the hotel and everything else were not accurate. It seems like this program didn’t exist before. The title of the training had “Ayurveda” in it, so I expected more discussion about this topic, but we only had two lessons on it in the end. Nonetheless, I am happy with what I learned and experienced. I just wanted to let the review-readers know that whatever you book, it might turn out completely different from your expectations (which could be a good life lesson anyways). I loved learning from the teachers and deepening my knowledge about Yoga. Thank you, Ashu, for incorporating your Indian culture into the lessons, although sometimes it was difficult for me to relate to the stories. But I felt it was important to understand the roots of Yoga.
The schedule was intense, but that’s exactly what I wanted in order to fully immerse myself in the experience. The quality of the lessons was exceptionally high, and the teachers were dedicated to teaching us thoroughly, which was the most important thing to me. Thank you very much. ??
The hotel resort was very clean, and I enjoyed having a spacious room to myself. The rooftop was the best spot for meditation, and the small gym was a nice addition as well.

March 29, 2023 at 12:00 amThe yoga hall was dirty and uncomfortable because of the rooftop construction. I caught a cold when it rained for two days. The props were filthy and had a foul odor. The school had a negative atmosphere and felt too commercial, lacking positive energy. Due to these reasons, I couldn’t complete the course. My entire group was frustrated. Although it should have been a nice experience, it turned out otherwise. However, the group itself was nice and some lessons were enjoyable. On the bright side, the school’s location and view were quite lovely.

June 17, 2022 at 12:00 amI wish I hadn’t stayed at the school. I recommend just paying for the course and finding somewhere else to stay and eat. It would have made my experience better and saved me money. I ended up eating out most of the time because many students before me got sick from the food and water. The food wasn’t balanced and lacked nutrition, mainly consisting of carbs and oil. The accommodation was basic and the bed was even harder than the one I had during Vipassana. If I had stayed at a hostel, I would have had a cleaner space, no curfew, a comfortable bed, and probably fewer nightmares. But I have to say, the teachers here are all amazing. I had the privilege of being taught by Dr. Lata Ji, Sunil Ji, Kanna Ji, Dr. Himanshu Ji, Naveen Ji, and a special shoutout to Siddha Ji. Each teacher was extremely knowledgeable and had a way of explaining things that really opened my mind. I felt grateful every day to be taught by such highly educated and intelligent individuals.

May 31, 2022 at 12:00 amThere are no tools to clean, so it’s impossible to mop or wash the sink in the room. The food was alright during the first two weeks, but then they just kept feeding us the same things every day, so I started eating out on the street every day… I thought I was coming here to get in better shape, but I actually ended up gaining weight :/ On a positive note, I really liked the group of people that came to get certified with me, we all got along perfectly. The days were filled with fun, activity, and constant busyness.
I absolutely loved the ashtanga classes, especially the ones where Ashu helped us with adjustments and alignment, and the ones with Himanshu focused on anatomy. They were definitely my favorite classes. I also found the philosophy classes surprisingly enjoyable :).

Although I must admit, the theory part could be a bit difficult to understand if you don’t have any prior knowledge of Hindu gods and goddesses. So, I would definitely recommend brushing up on that before diving into the course.
Now, let’s talk about the practical classes. They were simply incredible! Every single day, I felt completely cleansed, replenished, and filled with love. The teachers delivered these classes with confidence and a deep understanding of the subject. They were truly inspiring, and the fact that they could convey that through a screen is a testament to the amazing quality of the school and the course.

He strongly believes that not understanding the symbolism leads to misunderstandings, and the ultimate goal is to achieve Union, just like any other great teaching. His knowledge is profound, but he has a knack for connecting with his students, even through online classes.
Radha’s Tantra flow class is simply breathtaking. She takes everyone on a profound journey, delving into the mesmerizing vibrations of Tantric practices.
I’m currently enrolled in the 200-hour teacher training program, which includes in-depth instruction on Tantra and Yoga. The team at World Peace Yoga is beyond incredible – they truly make you feel like a part of their family. Joining them will undoubtedly transform you!

June 4, 2020 at 12:00 amThere’s really nothing notable to mention. I had taken a previous course, so I had certain expectations coming into this one, but boy, was I surprised! This course is on a whole different level. It feels like being in a classroom, with the teachers right in front of us. They address any questions or confusion right away, just like in a classroom. And let me tell you, the teachers are incredibly knowledgeable and professional.
The main focus of the instruction is to make the experience enjoyable while also developing skills like focus, confidence, and mind/body awareness. They aim to produce teachers who are not only competent but also healthy in mind, body, and spirit. The information provided in the course is well-researched, well-balanced, and easy to understand.
I’m confident that after completing this course, I’ll be ready to face any challenges life throws at me. I thoroughly enjoyed being part of this online course, especially considering it was their first one. I’m so impressed that once Covid-19 is over, my wife and I plan to go to the school in person for a course and to meet Guruji and the other teachers. In fact, I’ve already registered for a Tantra course and plan to continue with further courses. I feel like I’ve embarked on a lifelong journey.
The course was presented in such a professional and clear manner that I truly believe this is a new beginning for World Peace Yoga School. May God bless this school.

January 28, 2020 at 12:00 amThe facilities at this place are just terrible. Mold is literally growing out of the walls, cleanliness is nonexistent, the food is only filled with carbs, and the kitchen is disgustingly dirty. To add to that, there were four people in our class, three of us were staying on the school premises, and we all ended up getting really sick. Can you believe that there’s no hot water in the female dorms, and we experience water outages almost every day? It’s absurd! And don’t even get me started on the staff. They are impolite and all they do is sit on their phones, even the owner during kirtan! We came here to complete a 300-hour certification and guess what? We didn’t even come close to achieving it. They only gave us half the required hours and we got a certificate for that! This school is a complete scam and shouldn’t be allowed to provide certification. They definitely don’t meet the requirements of Yoga Alliance. Luckily, with the help of BookYogaRetreats, we managed to get a small refund from the school and BookYogaRetreats refunded their commission. Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. On the positive side, the location was great, very central with easy access to everything. The anatomy, hatha, and alignment classes were good and taught by knowledgeable teachers.

July 27, 2019 at 12:00 amI sometimes had a hard time with the heat during the summer, especially when there were power cuts, but the school can’t control that. I can’t put into words how happy and grateful I am to have chosen this school! From the very beginning, everyone made sure it felt like home to us, even though we were far away. I really appreciate that. The training syllabus is outstanding, and all the subjects are super interesting and relevant for anyone who wants to dive deeper into yoga after the 200hr. None of this would be possible without the amazing, professional, and inspirational teachers and founder. You can tell that yoga is a part of their daily lives. All the staff, whether at reception or in the kitchen, are friendly and helpful. They’re always ready to assist with a smile. The atmosphere and energy of the place are really nice, it feels light and bright. The school also has a beautiful garden and a big balcony with a view of the mountains. The halls where we have classes are clean and fully equipped. Thank you all for making this transformational experience in my life so unique. Thanks to you, I now feel like I have a home in Rishikesh. If I ever consider taking another yoga training, this will definitely be the place. If you’re looking for a truthful, enriching, and transformational yoga experience, this is definitely the place to be!

December 31, 2018 at 12:00 amNothing really disappointed me at the ashram. I knew it wasn’t going to be a fancy 5-star hotel, but it had everything I needed. When I went in December, it was a bit colder than I expected, but I got enough blankets to keep warm. The hot water for the showers didn’t last long, but it was alright because the cold water helped me wake up in the mornings! The 200 hour Kundalini yoga teacher training surpassed my expectations. The staff and teachers were amazing – so knowledgeable and friendly. They truly felt like family. Even though it was an intense course, with early mornings and late nights, I highly recommend it for anyone interested in the spiritual side of yoga. We had plenty of chances to practice meditation, do asanas, and more, as a group. And we also had enough free time to explore the town and have fun!

Helpful ReviewJessica Cattelan
December 5, 2018 at 12:00 amWe only spent 10 minutes on teaching methodology, which surprised me. I thought we would spend more time discussing things like building a sequence and proper postures during practice. It would have been helpful to learn what to do at the beginning and end of each practice as well. I believe these topics should have been covered starting in the second week, with students being asked to practice for 30 minutes each day and receive constructive feedback. After all, I enrolled in this course to become a teacher, not just to practice yoga every day.
Speaking of feedback, as a student, I would have appreciated more constructive feedback from the teachers instead of just hearing ‘very good’ all the time. I wanted to know where I could improve and what I did wrong. Throughout the course, we repeatedly requested constructive feedback, but were always met with generic praise. It was disappointing.
Now, let’s talk about the food. As a yogi, I expected bland or at least less spicy food. However, every meal was the same, with the only variation being chapati during dinner. The food was heavy and overloaded with black peppers. I specifically asked for bland food, yet I ended up eating boiled carrots and potatoes for a month. As a yogi, I believe that the food we consume should nourish our body, mind, and soul, but unfortunately, this was not the case.
Another aspect that could be improved is the course manual. In my opinion, it should include adjustments for each pose and provide thorough information on the anatomy of the body. The explanations of the muscles were not clear. Additionally, it would have been beneficial to have a section on postures that are suitable for specific diseases or muscle imbalances, such as herniated discs.
Despite these shortcomings, I am grateful for this experience as it allowed me to dive deeper into myself and change my perspective on life and the world. I learned valuable breathing techniques and other practices that can enhance my daily life. The course definitely equipped me with new skills and knowledge that I can now share with others. Moreover, I appreciated how I was able to coexist with people from different countries and adapt to sharing communal and personal spaces. It was a truly enriching experience because I was able to be myself, without any pressure to change or be someone I’m not. Lastly, I am sincerely grateful for all the time and knowledge the teachers shared with us.

The environment there is perfect for diving into yourself and sharing your spiritual journey with like-minded people. Oh, and have I mentioned how beautiful Rishikesh is?

June 6, 2018 at 12:00 amI loved everything about it! Even though the living conditions were a bit humbling compared to what I’m used to, I embraced it as part of the experience and felt safe the entire time. Some students complained about the food, but hey, you can’t please everyone, right? Personally, I’m usually really picky, but I had no complaints at all. Plus, if you’re not satisfied with the food, you can always go to a local cafe or restaurant and have a whole meal for less than $4 USD.
Let me tell you, I can’t fully explain how amazing and fulfilling my experience was taking the 200hr yoga certification course at World Peace Yoga School in Rishikesh. From the moment I arrived at the school, it felt like home. Guru Vishnu, the owner, warmly greeted us at the entrance and a volunteer helped us with our bags and showed us to our rooms. Everybody there is incredibly kind and they become your friends. I’ve really deepened my belief and knowledge in yoga. Coming from NYC, I had my doubts about taking the course here instead of doing it weekly in the city, but boy was I blown away and grateful I made the decision to get certified here. The teachers are absolutely the best and they have so much knowledge to share. Classes start at 6am and go until 7pm, six days a week, so it’s definitely a physical and mental challenge, but in the end, it’s all worth it.
I could go on and on about all the amazing people and experiences at WPYS, but there’s just not enough space here, lol. I’m really excited to complete my 300hr course here, hopefully within the next year or two, and apply everything I’ve learned at home.

It was really difficult to communicate with the staff since they didn’t speak English. They seemed like they were laughing at us and talking about us behind our backs. It was strange to find the staff sleeping on the floor of the dining room when we had to wake them up at 7:30am. The person who took us to the Beatles Ashram was nice, but it was funny because she didn’t know the location and had to ask. She didn’t even know who the Beatles were!

January 7, 2018 at 12:00 amI arrived on Dec 25 as planned, but my room wasn’t ready because of plumbing issues. They moved me to a less-than-ideal place across the street. It wasn’t until I complained about the unfairness that they transferred me to a better place. My room wasn’t ready for two more nights, so I decided to leave the retreat program and take yoga classes at other studios nearby. The yoga instructor was not good and acted more like we were in a teacher training program than a retreat.
WPY couldn’t give me what I signed up for, and they also didn’t return my deposit even though they were the ones who broke the contract. I felt like I was ripped off and won’t be coming back or recommending the school. The Christmas night food was good and extravagant.

December 21, 2017 at 12:00 amDuring a 15-day stay, half of the cost covers classes and meals, while the other half is for accommodation. At this price (600 euros/month), you will have a shared room with a bathroom. The bathroom is very dirty (even if it may seem clean for India), the sheets and towels are all very stained, and the blankets and pillows really smell bad. Plastic bags litter the garden beds along with forgotten old laundry. I won’t dwell on the dishwashing area, which was frankly disgusting and repulsive (dishes drained in old juice), and the osmosis water filter was yellow (definitely do not drink the water!). In short, for a price close to European rates, you will have a dump … otherwise, you can find accommodation of the same quality for three times less expensive nearby … if you still plan on staying there, don’t forget your bath towel and a pillow if you have room! Quality education, very interesting classes.

April 17, 2017 at 12:00 amI had to adjust to walking on the Laxman Juhla bridge with scooters, monkeys, cows, and people rushing by on the first day. But it’s all part of the experience, and now that I’m back, I miss it all! Once I got used to the chaos of the streets, I found the magic of Rishikesh. The power of the river Ganga is palpable on the beaches, its sound and energy making it easy to see why it’s considered divine. In the evening, the mountains surround Rishikesh like black clouds against the grey sky, echoing the prayers from the ashrams. The people here are amazing, not focused on money, but welcoming and spiritual. The yoga teachers are fantastic, well-prepared and able to guide you through postures professionally. I’m definitely coming back.
