I didn’t dislike anything in particular. It’s just that the other attendees were surprised when they saw me. You see, I was the only one doing a yoga retreat while everyone else was doing yoga teacher training.

But hey, I still had a great time! I went into it with a positive attitude and a thirst for knowledge. And let me tell you, the staff at Bali Yoga School blew me away. They were so nice and always ready to help. They made me feel like part of the family.

Now, I’m not a vegan, but wow, the food they served was amazing! Every meal was a treat. The fruits were incredibly sweet, and the rest of the dishes were bursting with flavor. Plus, they had these cool names that caught my attention.

I was not disappointed with anything. The teachers were great – they kept us engaged and gave helpful alignment tips, which fostered a sense of confidence in the group. The facilities were also nice. Plus, there was a great sense of community.

The instructors at this place were really nice and had a positive approach. I learned a lot in just two weeks. The classes flowed smoothly and we got longer breaks to rest and relax between lunch and the next class. I highly recommend this place and the people who work there – they were all very friendly and helpful. It’s such a peaceful and relaxing place. I’ll definitely come back for another class when I’m in Bali. Thanks for such a nice experience.

The place buzzed with construction activities, but they still managed to offer one yoga class every day. The atmosphere was filled with good energy and they made sure everyone felt welcomed.

There is nothing.

N.A. Himalayan Yoga Association offers a comprehensive teaching manual that is perfect for our yoga journey. We can watch the pre-recorded training videos whenever and wherever we want, at our own speed. The daily zoom live classes help us understand various yoga topics, and we can ask the teachers any questions we have. I really hope to visit Rishikesh one day. Thanks so much for this amazing course, especially to Saumya-ji who deserves special thanks.

Honestly, I loved everything! The food was delicious, and as a vegetarian, I didn’t feel like I needed anything else (except maybe an espresso ?). The place was so peaceful, and I really enjoyed my time there. The teachers, Shanti ji, Ida ji, and Niki ji, were amazing. I learned so much from them, and I’m truly grateful to have met such beautiful souls in my life. Dewa ji made me feel right at home. I am completely happy with my experience, and all the memories I made at Bali Yoga School will stay in my heart forever. I wish I could have stayed 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, which wasn’t enough for the physical effort required. As a result, I personally lost a lot of weight, and in my case, it’s not a positive thing.

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

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

The place is stunning, the schedule is perfect, and the food is very beautiful and delicious.

The professors are absolutely incredible. They made me feel comfortable right away, and despite their young age, you can tell they are experts in their field, whether it’s theory or practice. Neelam Ji is funny and passionate. Durgesh Ji is calm and soothing. Rahul Ji is very professional and patient, and lastly Ankit Ji, my favorite teacher, is fun and challenging – a breath of fresh air in class. Thank you to all four of you for your kindness, patience, and the passion you put into your work. I won’t hesitate to have the same experience with the same teachers again. ❤️?

The mosquitoes over there have evolved. You should definitely bring long yoga pants for class because mosquito spray isn’t going to help much ? I absolutely loved the alignment, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga classes. Ankit ji and Rahul ji were both so professional and knowledgeable. They exceeded my expectations. I want to give a special thanks to Durgesh ji and Dewa ji for taking such good care of all the students. The accommodation was lovely, and the staff were all incredibly welcoming. I especially loved the local family that lived next to us. It made me feel like a local myself. This was also my first time trying a vegetarian diet, but the food was so delicious and there were so many options. It actually helped me lower my fat and build muscle. Overall, it was an incredible experience for me. I had such a fun and enjoyable time at Bali Yoga School.

I loved my time spent here and I’m forever grateful for everything I learned. The teachers here are so knowledgeable, helpful, and have such good hearts. It really felt like being with family.

This place is absolutely gorgeous and it’s the perfect space to truly connect with yourself. I was able to meditate peacefully and go even deeper thanks to the teacher’s guidance and energy.

If you’re hesitant about taking this time for yourself and experiencing the pureness, connectedness of mind, body, and soul, and intrinsic well-being that this place offers, I encourage you to go. I highly recommend it and I hope you can make it here 🙂

The school had a very disorganised and unprofessional approach to teaching. The level of teaching delivered was extremely poor.

Before the classes began, they didn’t even add up to 200 hours. The tutors were consistently late, which made the students demotivated and caused them to start showing up later, resulting in even shorter classes. To make matters worse, one class was cancelled just because it was raining, even though it was the raining season. This further reduced the hours we had for learning.

The yoga classes were nothing more than normal yoga sessions. We were never really taught how to actually teach yoga, aside from two lessons on sequencing. What was even more concerning was that we were not assessed on our yoga teaching skills or even given the opportunity to practice teaching.

A large number of students missed numerous classes, possibly up to around 40% of them, and yet they still managed to pass and are now considered “qualified yoga teachers.”

There were constant teacher changes throughout the course. The tutors for the Astanga class, the meditation class, the alignment class, and the pranayama class changed multiple times without any warning or explanation, not even to the tutors themselves.

I had to witness two incidents where another student broke down in tears because the tutors had confronted her for complaining to the management about the issues we were facing.

The food provided was absolutely terrible – it was basic, bland, and never enough to satisfy our hunger.

Normally, I wouldn’t bother writing reviews, but I strongly believe that this school not only offers a very disappointing experience for students who invest a lot of money, but it also poses a potential danger as it certifies individuals who are not prepared to teach yoga.

To be honest, there isn’t much that I liked about this school because almost every aspect was a disappointment. However, I must mention that the pool at the accommodation was quite nice, and the manager of the accommodation was very helpful. It seemed like she was embarrassed about the poor quality of food that the yoga school suggested. Most of the other students had better accommodation, but unfortunately, my friend and I were placed in separate rooms with a lot of mold. When I checked out, I noticed some of my clothes had mold on them, but the manager promptly arranged for them to be cleaned.

The Anatomy and Philosophy classes are poorly organized. I can easily find clearer information by googling and watching YouTube videos than what the teacher says. The notes only briefly mention the 5 Kleshas and don’t provide enough information on the 7 chakras.

One of the meditation teachers suddenly left and only sent a message through WhatsApp. We were informed by another teacher, but there was no official notice or a backup plan in case a teacher got sick. They just told us to do self-study. What would happen if the teacher was sick for a few days?

They changed the pranayama teacher in the middle of the course without any communication between the teachers. They didn’t even know what the other teacher had already taught.

I came to Bali to learn how to be a teacher, but we didn’t have enough 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 instead of focusing solely on practicing it.

The school grouped all the students from the 100 hours, 200 hours, 300 hours, and 500 hours courses together, and we ended up learning almost the same things. They should separate the students based on their yoga level and put them in different classes.

It’s disorganized and what I’ve learned is not sufficient for becoming a teacher. The lead trainer was unable to properly guide the course.

The food options were limited and lacked variety.

Ankit and Rahul are young but passionate about teaching, especially Rahul. He’s willing to spend extra time teaching advanced poses to the students.

The course coordinator, Deva, tried his best to address the issues and take action.

The Philosophy classes didn’t have enough discussion, and the Anatomy classes lacked practical knowledge. It seemed like the focus of the course was more on self-development than teaching others.

I had some communication issues when I arrived. I had booked private accommodation and confirmed through email, but when I got there, I was told I had to share for a night. I ended up finding another place to stay for that night, but it was an inconvenience.

The management of the program was also quite loose. Classes would often start late because the teacher showed up 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 immediate improvements, but others made me feel like I was causing trouble. I didn’t appreciate that.

The food was good for the first week but then became repetitive. Just be prepared for Thursdays and Sundays off and a lot of mosquitoes.

In terms of the teachers, Rahul Ji, our Vinyasa teacher, was fantastic. He had so much energy and enthusiasm for sharing his yoga knowledge. I really loved his classes. Ankit Ji’s alignment classes were also great. He made sure we understood everything and even added some theory to his practical classes. Aylan Ji’s Pranayama classes were well-delivered, and her yoga journey was inspiring. Durgesh Ji’s meditation classes were exceptional and enjoyable.

It was interesting to have different teachers for different aspects of yoga. We had two teachers for Meditation, Alignment, Pranayama, and Ashtanga. It was a valuable experience to learn from different teaching styles.

We stayed at Puri Suksma, which was a beautiful place surrounded by nature. We had visits from monkeys and squirrels, and I saw a variety of ants and butterflies. It felt like I was living in a National Geographic documentary.

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

I really hope the school could 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 just love how this whole experience takes me back to simplicity – a simpler mindset, simpler expectations, simpler resources, especially in terms of food, and simpler and more relaxing locations.

I am truly grateful for all the hard work and preparation that the teachers have put in. They did an amazing job with the Yoga Asanas taught by Rahul Ji & Ankit Ji, the Types of Breathing taught by Aylan Ji, and the Meditation taught by Durgesh Ji. It feels like I’ve been a part of this for so long and I don’t even want to leave.

Finding the Bali yoga school was challenging – they have two locations. One is for teacher training, and the other is Dewa’s place for short retreats. Make sure you ask for directions. I spent 7 days at the retreat, and Dewa and his wife were amazing hosts. They would do anything to make your stay enjoyable. The guest house was absolutely charming, and the pool was lovely. Mini’s massages were energizing, and Cynthia and Armin’s yoga sessions were just what I needed. If you want to escape the chaos, this place has everything you need.

I’m bursting with gratitude for the instructors and host – they taught me so much!

Wir haben eine großzügige Anlage mit schönen Zimmern. Unsere Menschen sind freundlich, das Essen ist lecker und wir bieten eine gute Betreuung sowie Beratung in allen Lebenslagen. Bei uns lernt man fürs Leben!

The accommodation is located in Ubud, but to get to the center or a proper supermarket, you usually need a taxi because the accommodation is a bit isolated. The teachers were super engaged in 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 beautifully prepared, mostly vegan and gluten-free 🙂

We just completed the 200-hour TT with Bali Yoga School, which is associated with the Himalayan Yoga Association in Rishikesh, India. We were looking for a yoga school that could truly teach us authentic knowledge of yoga. And let me tell you, the teaching staff absolutely nailed it. They did an incredible job throughout the course.

Every day, we would start with Shatkarama, the cleansing process, followed by Ashtanga yoga led by the amazing Pradeep ji, who has a deep understanding of yoga anatomy and alignment. His expertise in yoga science was evident in the instructions he gave us during our time at the school. Each week, we would learn three new asanas and gradually progress through the Primary series of Ashtanga Yoga.

The best part of the day was definitely the meditation and philosophy sessions. We had the privilege of learning from the humble Johsan ji, who taught us some in-depth topics in a lighthearted manner so that we could easily grasp the concepts.

Cinthia’s Vinyasa flow classes were also great. She provided valuable insights on sequencing, teaching cues, and most importantly, she encouraged everyone to teach, which made the practical assessment component of the Training a lot more enjoyable.

Our rooms were equipped with hot water, air conditioning, a communal pool, and a study area for the evenings. The food, provided by a caterer organized by the yoga school, was excellent, especially the breakfast. All meals were vegetarian and gluten-free.

Overall, this is a fantastic school! Minal and Hesh,

The food was good, and I never went hungry as a vegan. Sometimes, the choice was limited, but towards the end of the course, they started understanding how they could improve our food options. Hopefully, they will take on board this knowledge, so that future vegan students can benefit. By the way, I’m actually English, not from the States!

I was impressed by how adaptable the teachers were to our requests for altered schedules that suited our needs. Dewa did a fantastic job organizing our Sunday sightseeing trips, making them enjoyable. He really went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable in many ways. Their philosophy was all about giving us an amazing experience.

I also want to mention Cynthia, our Ashtanga flow teacher. She was absolutely awesome. She had a wealth of knowledge, was approachable, and made the classes so much fun!

I didn’t dislike anything specific, but the other attendees were taken aback by my presence. I was the only one here for a yoga retreat, while everyone else was doing yoga teacher training.
However, I had a great time because I approached it with a positive attitude and a desire to learn. The staff at Bali Yoga School is truly impressive – they were incredibly kind and always ready to assist. I felt incredibly welcomed by everyone.
Even though I’m not a vegan, I absolutely adored the food served at every meal. The fruits were incredibly sweet and the rest of the dishes had unique and delicious flavors, with catchy names.

I found everything to be great! The teachers were incredibly engaging and provided excellent alignment tips. They fostered a sense of confidence within the group. The facilities were also nice, and there was a wonderful sense of community.

The instructors were really nice and had a positive approach. I learned a lot in just two weeks. The classes flowed smoothly and we had longer breaks to rest and relax between lunch and the next class. I highly recommend this place and the people working there. Everyone was so 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 wonderful experience!

The place turned into a construction site, but they still managed to hold one yoga class every day. The class radiated good energy and had a welcoming atmosphere.

Nothing is everything.

The N.A. Himalayan Yoga Association offers a comprehensive teaching manual that you can easily access. You can watch the pre-recorded training videos whenever and wherever you want, at a pace that suits you. The daily zoom live classes are great for learning more about different yoga topics, and you can even ask the teachers questions to clarify any doubts. I really hope to visit Rishikesh someday. Thanks a lot for the incredible course, and a special shoutout to Saumya-ji for your guidance.

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 very nice and delicious.
The teachers are simply incredible. They made me feel comfortable right away, and despite their young age, they master their work perfectly, both in theory and in practice. Neelam Ji is funny and passionate, Durgesh Ji is calm and soothing, Rahul Ji is very professional and patient, and finally, Ankit Ji, my favorite teacher, is fun and challenging, a breath of fresh air in the classroom. Thank you all four for your kindness, patience, and the passion you put into your work. I won’t hesitate to have the same experience again with these teachers. ❤️?

Mosquitoes evolved there. Make sure to bring long yoga pants for class because spray won’t help much ? I absolutely loved the alignment, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga classes. Ankit ji and Rahul ji are both incredibly professional and knowledgeable. They exceeded my expectations as teachers. I would especially like to thank Durgesh ji and Dewa ji for taking such good care of all the students. The accommodation was lovely and the staff were so welcoming. I really enjoyed having a local family living right next to us, as it made me feel like a local myself. This was also my first time trying a vegetarian diet, and the food was so delicious with various options. It really helped me reduce my fat and build muscle. Overall, this experience was incredible for me. I had a fantastic and enjoyable time with Bali yoga school.

I had a great time here and I’m forever grateful for everything I learned. The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and kind-hearted. It felt like being with family. This place is absolutely beautiful and you can truly connect with yourself here. I was able to meditate peacefully and go deeper thanks to the guidance and energy of the teachers. If you’re still unsure about taking this time for yourself and experiencing the pureness, connectedness of mind, body, and soul, as well as intrinsic well-being, I encourage you to go. I wholeheartedly recommend it and I hope you make it 🙂

There were five teacher changes without warning or explanation, including the Astanga, meditation, alignment, and pranayama classes.
I even had instances where another student broke down in my arms because the tutors confronted her after she had complained to management.
The food provided was terrible – plain and tasteless, and there was never enough.
I rarely write reviews, but I truly believe this school not only offers a subpar experience for students who pay a significant amount of money, but it also poses a potential danger as it qualifies individuals who are not ready to teach yoga.
Honestly, this is a terrible school that appears to be solely driven by making money.
It’s difficult to point out anything positive, as almost every aspect was a disappointment. However, the pool at the accommodation was quite nice, and the accommodation manager was very helpful. It seemed like she was embarrassed about the low-quality food recommended by the yoga school. Most of the other students had decent accommodations, but my friend and I were placed separately and our rooms had a lot of mold.

The food was good at first, but then it became repetitive. Just a heads up, Thursdays and Sundays are days off, but there are also a lot of mosquitoes.

I loved Rahul Ji’s Vinyasa classes. He was energetic and passionate about sharing his knowledge of yoga. We also learned a lot about traditional adjustment techniques from him, which were really fun to practice on each other. Ankit Ji’s alignment classes were clear and detailed, and I appreciated how he added a bit of theory to his practical classes. Aylan Ji taught us Pranayama, and her classes were delivered with great care. Her personal journey in yoga was inspiring. Durgesh Ji’s meditation classes were exceptional. They were well-structured, explained thoroughly, and incredibly enjoyable.

It was interesting to have different teachers for Meditation, Alignment, Pranayama, and Ashtanga. It allowed us to experience different teaching styles.

We stayed at Puri Suksma, a place surrounded by nature where monkeys and squirrels would visit us. I even got to see various types of ants and butterflies. It felt like living in a National Geographic documentary.

I met incredible people from all over the world during this program and learned so much from them. I’ve made new friends, become more in tune with my body, discovered new aspects of myself, and have become a much better yoga practitioner. I’m truly grateful for this experience.

I really wish the school would provide coffee for afternoon/before lunch class. It would help with the tiredness from the morning exercises and make it easier to concentrate. I just love how this experience brings me back to simplicity. It’s amazing how it clears my mind, lowers my expectations, and helps me appreciate the simple things like food and relaxing places.

I’m so grateful for all the hard work and preparation the teachers have put into this. I learned so much from Rahul Ji and Ankit Ji in Yoga Asanas, Aylan Ji taught us about different types of breathing, and Durgesh Ji guided us through meditation. I feel like I’ve been here forever and I don’t want to leave.

Finding the Bali yoga school was a bit challenging – there are actually two locations. One is for teacher training, and the other is Dewa’s place for short retreats. So, make sure you ask for directions. I stayed at the retreat for a whole week, and let me tell you, it was absolutely amazing! Dewa and his wife were the most wonderful hosts you could ever ask for. They would go out of their way to help you with anything. The guest house itself was so charming, and they even had a lovely pool. Oh, and I can’t forget to mention the invigorating massages by Mini! They were absolutely fantastic. And the yoga sessions with Cynthia and Armin? Just perfect! If you’re in need of a break from all the chaos, this place has all the right ingredients to help you unwind.

I can’t thank the instructors and host enough for everything they’ve taught me. I’ve learned so much and I feel truly grateful.

Hier lernt man fürs Leben in einer großzügigen Anlage mit schönen Zimmern, freundlichen Menschen, leckerem Essen und guter Betreuung, die in allen Lebenslagen berät.

Overall, it’s a fantastic school! Minal and Hesh

Although I enjoyed the food, being a vegan sometimes limited my choices. However, towards the end of the course, they started understanding how to improve our food options. Hopefully, they will take that knowledge on board for the benefit of future vegan students. By the way, I’m actually English, not from the States! ?

I was really impressed by how adaptable the teachers were to our requests for customized schedules that suited our needs. Dewa did a fantastic job organizing our Sunday sightseeing trips, which were amazing. He went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable in various ways.

She was awesome – incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and a lot of fun! ?
