100-Hour online yoga teacher training course covering Hatha, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga yoga styles, completed at your own pace.

This yoga retreat was not what I expected. I stayed in a room at a yoga school where I could potentially join some classes from the 300h TTC group. This arrangement made me, the group of students, and the teachers uncomfortable. The 4 people who signed up for the retreat didn’t receive a check-in, any introductions, a set schedule, or designated teachers for our group. Instead, we were expected to participate in classes where others were training to become teachers. As a teacher myself, I was hoping to attend intermediate or advanced classes, or at least sessions tailored for our group within a structured program, as advertised. While the traditional yoga school had a great atmosphere, nice facilities, and a good location, it was a disappointment that the “retreat” was not properly promoted. The school is managed by lovely people and has excellent instructors, but the lack of clear communication about the retreat left much to be desired.

I didn’t have any specific dislikes, but the other attendees were surprised to see me because I was the only one doing a yoga retreat while they were all in yoga teacher training. However, I had a great time because I kept a positive attitude and was eager to learn. The staff at Bali Yoga School really impressed me with their politeness and helpfulness. They made me feel incredibly welcomed. Even though I’m not a vegan, I absolutely loved the food served at every meal. The fruits were incredibly sweet and the other dishes had delicious flavors, and some even had catchy names.

I found everything to be impressive! The teachers were great, they really kept us engaged and provided useful tips on alignment. They really fostered a sense of confidence within the group. The facilities were nice and there was a great sense of community.

The instructors were really nice and had a positive approach. I learned a lot in just two weeks. The classes had a nice flow and we had longer breaks to rest and relax between lunch and the next class. I highly recommend this place and the people who work there. Everyone was friendly and helpful. It’s such a peaceful and relaxing place. I’ll definitely come back for another class when I’m in Bali. Thank you for such a great experience.

The place buzzed with construction activities. They offered just one yoga class per day, but it was filled with good energy and had a welcoming vibe.

There is nothing at all.

N.A. Himalayan Yoga Association offers a thorough and comprehensive teaching manual. You can watch the pre-recorded training videos whenever and wherever you want, at your own speed. The daily zoom live classes help us understand different yoga topics, and we can ask the teachers to clarify any other questions we may have. I really hope to visit Rishikesh one day. Thank you for the amazing course. A big shoutout to Saumya-ji!

Honestly, I liked everything. The food was nice and as a vegetarian, I didn’t feel like I needed anything else (maybe just some espresso ?). The place was so peaceful and I loved it. The teachers were amazing. I learned a lot from Shanti ji, Ida ji, and Niki ji. I’m so grateful to have met these beautiful souls in my life. Dewa ji made me feel at home. I’m 100% happy with my experience and all of my memories with Bali Yoga School will stay in my heart forever. I wish I could stay longer. Best of luck to all of you. Thank you ?? ?

I felt a lack of protein in the meals since I’m not a vegetarian. It wasn’t enough for the physical effort required, and as a result, I personally lost a lot of weight, which is not positive in my case.

They should clean the rooms better, especially the areas with insects.

I would have liked to stay longer, but I will definitely come back. ??

The place is beautiful, the schedule is perfect, and the food is really good.

The teachers are amazing, they made me feel comfortable right away, and despite their young age, they have a perfect mastery of their work, both in theory and in practice. Neelam is funny and passionate. Durgesh is calm and soothing. Rahul is very professional and patient, and lastly, Ankit is my favorite teacher, he’s fun and challenging, a breath of fresh air in class. Thank you to all of the four of you for your kindness, patience, and the passion you put into your work. I won’t hesitate to have another experience with the same teachers. ❤️?

The mosquitoes over there have evolved. So, better bring long yoga pants for class because spray won’t help much ? I absolutely love the alignment, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga classes. Ankit ji and Rahul ji are both such professional and knowledgeable instructors. I’ve learned more than I expected. I am especially grateful to Durgesh ji and Dewa ji for taking such good care of all the students. The accommodation was lovely and the staff were incredibly welcoming, including the local family who lived next to us. I felt like a local while traveling. It was also my first time switching to a vegetarian diet, but the food was so delicious and there were plenty of options. It really helped me lower my fat and build muscle. Overall, it was an incredible experience for me. I had so much fun and a great time with Bali Yoga School.

I loved my time here and I’m forever grateful for everything I learned. The teachers at this place are amazing – they’re so knowledgeable, super helpful, and just really good-hearted people. It honestly felt like being with family!
The space itself is just beautiful, and it allows you to truly connect with yourself. I was able to meditate in complete peace, and with the guidance and energy of the teachers, I was able to go even deeper.
If you’re still unsure about whether or not to take the time and experience this incredible space where you can feel pureness, a deep connection of mind, body, and soul, and true well-being, please go for it. I genuinely recommend it and I hope you make it there. 🙂

The school was incredibly disorganized and unprofessional, which really affected the quality of teaching for a 200-hour qualification. Throughout the course, the tutors changed a whopping five times and they were all very young and inexperienced in teaching teachers. On top of that, the tutors would often show up late, causing the students to also be late. It was a complete mess and the management of the school was totally unprofessional.

What’s even more frustrating is that there was no exam specifically focused on teaching yoga. The classes were purely about doing yoga, without any emphasis on how to actually teach a class. It’s just not what you would expect from a reputable yoga school.

The food they provided was absolutely terrible, to put it lightly. It was such a disappointment, especially considering how important good nutrition is when practicing yoga. It’s really a shame that they couldn’t even get that right.

To make matters worse, some students missed quite a few classes and still managed to get a certificate at the end of the course. It just doesn’t make any sense and it devalues the certification for those who actually put in the effort.

The excursions promised on the website were also a big letdown. They weren’t where they were advertised and you were still expected to pay for them, even though they were supposed to be included in your package. It’s just a clear case of false advertising, and it’s really disappointing.

This school seems to be all about making money and not about actually educating or helping students become good yoga teachers. The owner is unhelpful and unapproachable, seemingly favoring one student over others. It really makes you question his credibility as a yoga teacher and as a professional manager running a yoga school.

On the bright side, Ubud is a really lovely place to visit. Despite all the issues with the school, Durgesh, Dewa, Ankit, and Rahul were amazing people who tried their best to fix the numerous problems the school had. They were really the only redeeming aspect of the whole experience.

The Anatomy and Philosophy classes are not organized well. I can easily find clearer information on Google and YouTube than what the teacher says. The notes mention very little about the 5 Kleshas, but I found the exact information on a website. They only briefly mentioned the 7 chakras.

One of the meditation teachers suddenly left and sent a message through WhatsApp. We only heard from another teacher without any official notice. There is no backup plan if a teacher gets sick. They just expect us to self-study. What will happen if the teacher is sick for a few days?

They changed the pranayama teacher halfway through the course, and then changed again. There was no communication between these teachers, and they didn’t know what the other teacher had already taught.

I came to Bali to learn how to be a teacher, but we didn’t get much time for teaching practice. We didn’t come here just to practice yoga, as we can do that in our home country. The school should provide guidance on how to teach yoga so that students can practice teaching, not just practicing yoga.

The school grouped students from the 100 hours, 200 hours, 300 hours, and 500 hours programs together, and we all learned almost the same things. They should separate us into different classes based on our yoga level.

It’s disorganized, and what I learned is not enough to become a teacher. The lead trainer was unable to lead the course effectively.

The food options were limited and lacked variety.

Ankit and Rahul, despite being young, have a passion for teaching. Especially Rahul, he’s willing to spend extra time teaching advanced poses to students.

The course coordinator, Deva, did his best to address and resolve the problems.

The Philosophy classes didn’t have as much discussion as I expected, and the Anatomy classes lacked practical knowledge. The focus of the course seemed to be more on self-development than teaching others.

I had some issues with communication right from the beginning. I had booked private accommodation and confirmed it via email, but when I arrived, they told me I had to share for a night. I ended up finding another place for that night and didn’t have to share, but it was a hassle that I didn’t appreciate.

The program was also poorly managed. Classes often started late because the teacher was late, and some classes were even cancelled without a backup plan due to teacher illness or bad weather. When I gave feedback, some teachers took it seriously and made improvements, but others made me feel like a troublemaker, which I didn’t appreciate.

The food was good for the first week but then became repetitive. Expect to have Thursday afternoons and Sundays off, but also a lot of mosquitoes.

One of the highlights of the program was Rahul Ji, our Vinyasa teacher. He was full of energy and passionate about sharing his knowledge. I really loved his classes. Ankit Ji’s alignment classes were also great – very clear and detailed. He always made sure we understood everything and even added some theory to his practical classes. Aylan Ji taught us Pranayama and her classes were nicely delivered. Her journey in yoga was inspiring. Durgesh Ji’s meditation classes were exceptional – well-structured, explained, and enjoyable.

We had different teachers for Meditation, Alignment, Pranayama, and Ashtanga, which was a good experience to learn different teaching styles.

We stayed in Puri Suksma, which was a beautiful place surrounded by nature. We had some interesting encounters with monkeys, squirrels, ants, and butterflies – felt like being in a National Geographic documentary.

I met incredible people from all over the world and learned so much from them. Completing this program helped me make new friends, become more aware of my body, discover new aspects of myself, and become a better yoga practitioner. I’m really grateful for that.

I really wish the school would provide coffee for our afternoon/before lunch class. It would help us fight off the tiredness from our morning exercises and improve our concentration. I love how this experience brings me back to simplicity – simplicity of the mind, expectations, resources, food, and even relaxing locations.

I truly appreciate all the hard work and preparation the teachers have put into this. I had such a great learning experience in Yoga Asanas with Rahul Ji & Ankit Ji, Types of Breathing with Aylan Ji, and Meditation with Durgesh Ji. It felt like I had been there for a long time and I didn’t want to leave.

Finding the Bali yoga school was a bit of a challenge – they have two locations. One is for teacher training, and the other is Dewa’s place for short retreats. So, be sure to get the directions right. During my stay, I spent 7 days at the retreat, which was managed by Dewa and his lovely wife. Let me tell you, they were amazing hosts – they made sure nothing was too much trouble. The guest house itself had this charming vibe, with a delightful pool to relax in. Oh, and the massages by Mini were simply invigorating! As for the yoga classes, Cynthia and Armin were just perfect instructors. If you’re looking for a break from all the chaos, this place has got all the right ingredients.

The instructors and host taught me so much that I’m feeling incredibly grateful and overwhelmed!

Pas de problème. Je suis satisfaite de tout ça. On a un petit groupe, un enseignement de qualité, des logements réservés uniquement aux étudiants, donc on forme une famille. On prend les repas ensemble sur place, c’est une immersion totale.

The accommodation is located in Ubud, but in order to get to the center or a proper supermarket, you usually need a taxi because the accommodation is somewhat secluded. The teachers were super helpful and dedicated to everything, and the single rooms were spacious and generous, with their own shower and toilet that were cleaned daily by the staff. The food was always served on time and lovingly prepared, mostly vegan and gluten-free 🙂

We just completed a 200-hour TT (Teacher Training) with Bali Yoga School, associated with Himalayan Yoga Association in Rishkesh, India. We were looking for a yoga school that could teach us authentic knowledge of yoga, and the teaching staff did an incredible job throughout the course.

Every day, we started with a cleansing process called Shatkarama, followed by Ashtanga yoga led by Pradeep ji. He is a fantastic teacher with a deep understanding of yoga anatomy and alignment. His expertise in yoga science was evident in the instructions we received. Over the course of four weeks, we learned three new asanas each day and gradually progressed through the Primary series of Ashtanga Yoga.

Our favorite part of the day was meditation and philosophy sessions with Johsan ji. He is a humble teacher who explained complex topics in an easily understandable way. It was a great opportunity to learn from him.

Cinthia led the Vinyasa flow classes, providing valuable information on sequencing, teaching cues, and encouraging us to practice teaching ourselves. This made the practical assessment component of the training more enjoyable.

Our rooms were comfortable with amenities like hot water, air conditioning, a communal pool, and a study area for night-time studying. The food, provided by a caterer organized by the yoga school, was excellent, especially the vegetarian and gluten-free breakfast.

Overall, the school was great! Minal and Hesh had a wonderful experience.

Although the food was good, I never went hungry. As a vegan, sometimes the choice was limited. But towards the end of the course, they started to understand how they could improve our food choices. Hopefully, they will take that knowledge on board so future vegan students can benefit. I’m actually English, not from the States.

The teachers were impressively adaptable to our requests for schedule changes to suit our needs. Dewa organized fantastic Sunday sightseeing trips for us. He put so much effort into making our stay memorable in numerous ways. Their philosophy was to ensure we had an amazing experience. And I can’t forget to mention Cynthia, our Ashtanga flow teacher. She was truly awesome – incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and so much fun. ?
