Ubud, Bali offers a 12-day, 100-hour yoga teacher training program focusing on Traditional Hatha and Ashtanga Vinyasa styles.

Sometimes, teachers cancel sessions and don’t cover all the material. But I really enjoyed the philosophy lessons, breathing exercises, and the practice of asanas.

I really didn’t like how Aerial Yoga was taught at all. It was lacking in every aspect. After just 2 lessons, without even explaining how the class was structured, we were told to create a class ourselves. Out of the 5 sessions, 3 were where we taught our classmates… I learned very little. I really enjoyed Obi’s teaching method because you can tell he puts his heart and soul into it.

The quality and cleanliness of the yoga props provided were terrible. The mats and blocks were the dirtiest and lowest quality I’ve ever seen at a studio! That’s why I brought my own mat to avoid using theirs.

Most teachers don’t actually prepare you to become a yoga instructor. They just watch you do flows and hardly ever help with alignment or provide feedback during or after class.

The accommodation was just okay. The sheets and towels were stained and dirty. I didn’t have hot water in the shower, and the toilet was broken during my first 100 hours. When they finally came to fix it, they randomly put a board on the ceiling to cover up water damage from above. For the second 100 hours, I switched rooms and had a better bathroom situation. But you have to ask for your room to be cleaned and for the sheets and towels to be changed.

Azmi and Yansha were two of the best teachers I’ve ever had. I really appreciate their passion and the energy they brought every day. They made sure we were well-prepared to become yoga teachers and cared about helping us understand the difference between just practicing and actually learning from the experience. I also loved Obi and Veny, although their classes were more focused on learning as students rather than as potential teachers.

The food was really good, although there was a lot of repetition in the menu if you were doing the full 200 hours instead of just 100. It would have been great to have more protein options for breakfast considering the amount of movement we were doing each day.

Overall, I ended up enjoying my time because of what I learned about myself, the people I met, and the amazing energy from the teachers who were genuinely passionate about teaching us.

I had an incredible time at Aayaa yoga teacher training in Bali. I loved practicing yoga and meditation outdoors in the beautiful green surroundings while listening to the birds and lizards sing, especially in the morning. And after, we would enjoy a delicious breakfast of tropical fruits.

The teachers at Aayaa are not only knowledgeable but also fun to be around. They really emphasize understanding and learning yoga and meditation from within.

I was feeling stressed and needed a break from everything, so learning to meditate was just perfect for me. What made it even better was the opportunity to meet new people who shared my interest in a healthy lifestyle. And of course, the food, nature, weather, sun, and massages were all amazing.

Overall, I had a fantastic time and learned more than I expected. I am incredibly grateful to all the teachers and the Aayaa crew for everything. I will definitely be back!

I’d say the room was pretty basic, but it got the job done. The meals could use more protein though, because sometimes they didn’t have any.

The teachers were absolutely fantastic! Right from the start, I could tell they were all really experienced. I did the 200 hour course and learned way more than I expected. This place was such an awesome experience! The people I met during the course were amazing, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The food was really delicious and the room, while basic, served its purpose. I can definitely recommend this school!

– The group size was suitable.
– The number of hours per day was appropriate.
– We had 2 days free to explore the area.
– The staff was friendly and the teachers were nice.

The classes were really great, and we learned a lot in such a short time! We were in a small group, and the yoga space where we practiced was open and very pleasant. The teachers were really great – they were very informative, kind, attentive, and positive. The hotel staff was also very attentive. The food was amazing- it was diverse, healthy, and delicious. I definitely recommend it!

I had an amazing experience that exceeded all my expectations. The teachers were so knowledgeable and passionate about their subjects. Via taught me how to breathe in a way I’ll never forget. Shanti was a special person who really knew what she was talking about in Philosophy class. I’m grateful for every meditation class with Hari, who truly practices what he preaches. Jaggy called all the way from India to give us valuable teachings on Ayurveda and Yoga Philosophy. And Ida’s teachings were precious, especially when we sang the Sun salutation together.

The place we stayed at was perfect. The beautiful ricefields and natural paths helped me breathe properly and enjoy the amazing colors around me. The food was not only delicious but also healthy, and it was always served with a big smile. I gained so much from this experience and I have more than what I expected in my mind. What I loved the most was that they followed the traditional basis of yoga. It’s becoming rare in Bali to have an authentic non-“Westernized” experience of this ancient art. Your body will definitely thank you.

Although our rooms and the dining and teaching/practice areas were relatively clean, the overall cleanliness standards of the complex could be higher. I want to give a big shoutout to all the amazing teachers – Via, Igor, Shanti, and Ida – for sharing their knowledge and skills with such warmth, patience, and love. They provided us with incredible resources for learning, and it was our responsibility as students to make the most of them. I really appreciate how the course struck a perfect balance between the spiritual aspects of yoga and asana practice. Thanks to our inspiring teachers, I truly grasped the endless possibilities that practicing yoga as a science offers. And let’s not forget the delicious food! Huge thanks to the staff, especially Hari, who was always there to lend a helping hand.

I didn’t receive proper Yin Classes Training from a Yin Teacher.. It wasn’t up to standard. Yoga Alliance should know about aayayoga Rishikesh, they provide poor teaching and give Certificates even if you haven’t completed the courses. Deepak ?? isn’t qualified to teach Yin class nor a 50 Hr Teacher Training. It’s not up to standards. On Day 2, I decided to leave the course and the Manager offered me my Certificate.

I think they should improve a lot! ?✨ The accommodation is not like in the photos…nor is it 300 meters from Laxman Jhula…and the hot water in the showers runs out very quickly. It didn’t feel like a retreat…it felt more like a hostel with some yoga classes…and the Shalas are very basic…they lack a sense of spirituality…and the floor is dirty…the whole place needs a little more love and dedication. I don’t like making these comments…but from my sincerest love for yoga…I believe there are several aspects that need improvement! They were very attentive and helpful!

I really enjoyed it, but I felt like there was too much rice, veggies, tofu, and tempeh for me as a non-vegetarian. The food tasted great, but it made my stomach feel bloated, so I decided to switch to soups instead. And let me tell you, they were absolutely delicious!

Now let’s talk about breakfast – it was the best meal! Fresh fruit, pancakes, and fried bananas, oh my! I seriously could’ve stayed there forever, or maybe even moved there, haha!

In my opinion, learning from the real eastern culture is such a unique and indescribable experience. It really opens your heart and helps you set your ego aside. It’s something every Western person should have the opportunity to do!

The teachers were all amazing in their own special way, and their collective presence filled the room with love and beauty. They definitely knew how to make us laugh, but they also took their job seriously and passed on their knowledge with such dedication. They were there for us and always willing to help.

Multistyle yoga was perfect for me because I was able to find the style that suited me best and it’s the one I enjoy teaching the most.

Let me just say, Bali is the most beautiful country with the most beautiful souls. The swimming pool was delightful, and the rooms were spacious with a stunning view of the sunset. We had everything we needed within walking distance – restaurants, bars, shops, and even spas. Plus, the Monkey Forest was nearby too!

If you’re looking for a relaxing and chill retreat, this probably isn’t the right choice for you. When you’re here, everything happens with TTC students, so you’ll be learning about yoga instead of just going to classes.

We ended up moving accommodations to a different place, and unfortunately, it wasn’t any better than the first one. But Aayaa, the host, really tried to make up for the inconveniences by providing extra blankets, heaters, and even calling electricians to fix the hot water issue. Whenever you have a problem, they’re always there to help you out.

The classes always start late, which is great if you struggle to get up in the morning, but it can be annoying if you’re the type of person who values punctuality.

Before applying, make sure to ask for all the details beforehand in your messages. The information on bookyogaretreats can be a bit misleading when it comes to what they actually offer and what’s included.

The place itself is a bit far from Laxman Jhula and the city vibe, but it’s still within walking distance, so it’s not a major issue. Considering the amount of money you’re paying, you can’t expect luxury service, but it’s still a decent experience.

Before signing up, I was considering TTC, so being able to be with the students was great for me to get a glimpse into what it’s really like.

We even got a complimentary rafting experience, which was a lot of fun and we did it together with everyone.

The Ashtanga class teacher is absolutely amazing!

You have the opportunity to join all the classes that the students are taking, so it’s a great chance to learn more about yoga, different postures, philosophy, and more.

Lastly, the food was really tasty and enjoyable.
