Learn Ashtanga and Aerial Yoga in a 15-day, 100-hour training program in Ubud, Bali.

Great teachers offer a unique and valuable experience. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to start their yoga teacher training journey.

Sometimes, teachers cancel sessions and fail to cover all the material, but I really enjoyed the philosophy lessons, breathing exercises, and the asanas practice.

I absolutely didn’t like how Aeral Yoga was taught, it was lacking in every aspect. After just 2 lessons, without even explaining how the class is structured, we were told to create a class. Out of 5 sessions, 3 were where we taught our classmates… I really didn’t learn much. I really liked Obi’s teaching method because you can tell he puts his heart and soul into it.

The yoga props they provided were of really low quality and not clean at all. The mats and blocks at this studio were honestly the dirtiest I’ve ever seen, so I brought my own mat to avoid using theirs.

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

The accommodation was pretty mediocre. The sheets and towels were stained and dirty, and I didn’t have hot water in the shower. During my first 100 hours, the toilet was even broken! When they finally came to fix it, they also put a random board on the ceiling because of water damage from above. Luckily, I switched rooms for the second 100 hours and had a better bathroom situation. But you also have to ask for your room to be cleaned and sheets/towels changed.

Now, let me tell you about the amazing teachers I had the privilege of learning from! Azmi and Yansha were absolutely incredible. They were so passionate and brought such great energy every day. They really made sure we were ready to become yoga teachers and cared about teaching us the difference between just practicing and actually learning from this experience. I also really enjoyed Obi and Veny. Their classes were more focused on learning as a student rather than as a potential teacher.

The food was also really delicious, although if you’re doing the full 200 hours instead of just 100, there is a lot of repetition in the menu. It would be great if they could offer a higher protein option for breakfast, considering the amount of movement we do each day.

Overall, I actually enjoyed my time here because of the personal growth I experienced, the wonderful people I met, and the enthusiastic teachers who genuinely wanted to teach us.

I had an amazing time at the Aayaa yoga teacher training in Bali. I absolutely loved practicing yoga and meditation outdoors amidst the beautiful green surroundings, with birds and lizards singing, especially in the morning. Afterward, we would indulge in delicious tropical fruits for breakfast. The teachers were incredibly knowledgeable and fun to be around. They were passionate about helping us understand and deeply learn yoga and meditation. I really needed a break from the stress of everyday life and to learn how to meditate, so this experience was perfect for me. What made it even better was meeting new people who shared my interest in healthy lifestyles. And let’s not forget about the incredible food, nature, weather, sun, and massages – they were all absolutely amazing. I had an unforgettable time and learned even more than I expected. Thank you so much to all the teachers and the Aayaa crew for everything! I’ll definitely be back.

The room was pretty basic, but it got the job done. Sometimes, the meals could have used more protein. But let me tell you, the teachers were absolutely amazing! It was clear right from the start how experienced they all were. I did the 200-hour course and man, did I learn way more than I expected. My experience here was fantastic. I met some amazing people in my course, and the staff was so friendly and helpful. The food was really tasty too, and although the room was basic, it served its purpose. I highly recommend this school for sure!

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

The classes were really great and we learned so much in such a short time! We were in a small group and the yoga space was open and very pleasant. The teachers were incredibly informative, friendly, caring, and positive. The hotel staff was very attentive. The food was incredible – it was diverse, healthy, and delicious. I highly recommend it!

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The teachers are incredible, sharing their knowledge and passion with so much enthusiasm. Via is like a flower, teaching me to breathe in a way that I’ll never forget. Shanti is amazing, delivering profound wisdom in our Philosophy class and beyond. I’m grateful for every meditation class with Hari, who truly practices what he preaches. Jaggy’s teachings on Ayurveda and Yoga Philosophy, all the way from India, were invaluable. And Ida’s beautiful singing during the Sun salutation was a precious experience.

The place we stayed in was perfect. Surrounded by ricefields and natural paths, the environment allowed us to breathe properly while taking in the breathtaking colors. The food was not only delicious but also healthy, always served with the warmest smile. This experience exceeded my expectations, filling my mind with so much more than I anticipated. What I appreciated the most is that they follow the traditional basis of yoga. Nowadays, it’s rare to find a non-Westernized experience of this Oriental art of living in Bali. Your body will thank you for it.

The complex could improve its standards of cleanliness, although the dining and teaching/practice areas and our rooms were relatively clean. I want to express my gratitude to the teachers – Via, Igor, Shanti, and Ida – who shared their knowledge and skills with patience, love, and an open heart. We had access to the best resources for learning, and it was up to us, the students, to make the most of them. I appreciate how well-balanced the course is, covering both the spiritual aspects of yoga and asana practice. Inspired by the teachers, I truly realized the infinite possibilities that yoga offers as a science that we practice. The food was delicious! I also want to thank the staff, especially Hari, who was always there to help whenever needed.

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 have poor teaching and they give out Certificates without completing the courses. Deepak is not qualified to teach Yin class and definitely not a 50 Hr Teacher Training. It doesn’t meet the standards. I left the course on Day 2 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 seem like a retreat to me.. it felt more like a hostel with some yoga classes.. and the Shalas are very basic.. they didn’t have a spiritual feel.. and the floor was 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 to improve! Very attentive and helpful!

I really liked it, but personally, as a non-vegetarian, I felt like there was too much rice, veggies, tofu, and tempeh. It tasted great, but it made my stomach feel bloated, so I decided to switch to only having soups. They were absolutely delicious though!

The breakfast was amazing – fresh fruit, pancakes, and fried bananas – the best meal of the day! I wish I could have stayed there longer, or maybe even move there! ?

In my opinion, being taught by people from real eastern culture is a completely different experience. It’s hard to put into words, but it really opens your heart and helps you put your ego aside. It’s the best thing that could happen to anyone from the western world!

The teachers are all unique in their own way, and the energy when they’re all together is so loving and beautiful. They’ll make you laugh so hard, but they also take their job very seriously and will teach you, heal you, and share their knowledge. They truly care about you and are happy to help.

The multistyle yoga was perfect for me because I was able to find the style that suited me the most and that I enjoyed teaching the most.

For me, Bali is the most beautiful country with the most beautiful people.

There’s even a swimming pool, and the rooms are spacious with a stunning view where you can watch the sunset. There are also restaurants, bars, shops, and spas within walking distance, and it’s close to the Monkey Forest.

If you want a relaxing and chill retreat, this place is probably not right for you. You’ll be doing everything alongside TTC students, so you’ll learn about yoga instead of just attending classes.

We had to switch accommodations to a different place and unfortunately, it was worse than the first one. However, Aayaa went above and beyond to make up for the inconveniences. They provided extra blankets, heaters, and even called electricians to fix the hot water issue. Whenever we had a problem, they were there to help solve it.

Classes always start late, which is great if you struggle to wake up in the mornings, but can be annoying if you’re a stickler for punctuality.

If you’re considering applying, make sure to ask for all the details beforehand through messages. The information on bookyogaretreats can be a bit misleading about what they actually offer and what’s included.

The location 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 spend, don’t expect luxury service or top-notch quality. But for what it’s worth, it’s an okay experience.

I personally found it beneficial to be with the TTC students as it gave me insight into what it’s like to undergo the training.

We also got a complimentary rafting experience, which was really fun and enjoyable.

The Ashtanga class teacher is absolutely amazing!

You have the opportunity to join in on all the classes that the students are taking, which is a great way to learn more about yoga, postures, philosophy, and so on.

Lastly, the food was delicious and enjoyable.

Everyone tried their best to accommodate us but sometimes they couldn’t meet our dietary restrictions. I understand it’s not easy to accommodate, but I appreciate their efforts ?? This retreat exceeded our expectations. Our teachers Manish and Kounty were amazing. They are highly skilled, experienced, knowledgeable, flexible, and have a great sense of humor. Manish guided us through the spiritual and philosophical aspects of yoga and patiently answered all our questions. Kounty impressed us with his teaching style, physical agility, and ability to incorporate dance, gymnastics, and fitness into yoga. He did it all with a smile, great spirit, and humor, while maintaining the seriousness of a yogi. The teachers adapted their training to a diverse class and our family’s varying ages and abilities. We are lost for words to express our gratefulness and will forever be thankful to them.

The operational manager, Pabitra, and business owner, Manish, took care of us and fulfilled our requests. Our two chefs cooked delicious and wholesome meals and served them with a calm and relaxed demeanor. Our accommodation was a charming house with the owner living nearby and located a short distance from the beach, with many nice restaurants and shops around. The house owners were responsive and made sure we felt comfortable and cared for.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are grateful for everyone who contributed to our short yoga journey. A heartfelt namaste from our family to all of you!

The hotel and classes had a really nice and friendly atmosphere. I had a lot of fun in the Aerial classes, but they were also tough and helped me build up strength. I found all the other classes interesting, especially philosophy. The food was delicious, especially breakfast. I really liked the huge dining table and the low seating, it had an India style to it. The accommodation was really comfortable, although the room was a bit cold, they provided us with a heater. The shower was nice and hot, and the cleanliness was reasonably good.

I didn’t know what to expect when I embarked on this journey, but it surpassed all my expectations. The amount of time and training I received was definitely worth it, I must say. And the teachers, oh boy, they were amazing! Via, Shanti, Ida, and Igor, each one of them added their own unique touch to the whole experience.

I think the marketing for this place is a complete lie. It makes me feel bad to write all of this because the teachers were nice, but I think the Marketing/Indian owner is being manipulative and dishonest. The teachers were not what they were advertised to be.

The accommodation was terrible. It was dirty, with mold on the pillow, and the first towel smelled like a wet dog. The shower pressure would often stop working if multiple people were showering at the same time. The drains in the shower and sink were almost completely blocked. When we brought up the issue, they just unscrewed the pipes and put a bucket under the sink. They never cleaned the pool, so it was yellow when we left.

The food was okay at times, but definitely not as Ayurvedic as they claimed. It seemed like they were on a low budget. They served sugary food for breakfast and Tofu/Tempeh twice a day, which made all of us bloated and gave us stomach pain.

The yoga philosophy was difficult to follow. You would learn more from a book or video. They advertised 200 hours, but it was actually only around 150 hours. Half of the yoga classes were the same as any normal class, and they never adjusted our poses. We had to ask repeatedly for an ayurveda class, and when we finally got one, it was just a video.

The ceremony was a letdown. There was no flower or fruit composition. All the information on their website about the facilities was basically a lie.

I am grateful that the course was in Ubud, a powerful and spiritual place. The teachers were nice and knowledgeable, so thank you to them. I had fun and enjoyed my time here, but I wouldn’t say that all of us are ready to be teachers. I think this course is better for your own spiritual journey rather than becoming a yoga teacher.

I loved my experience at Aayaa Yoga in Rishikesh! Everything was amazing – the staff were all friendly and made me feel welcome. The teachers were fantastic and always there to support me. It exceeded all my expectations. Sunil, the manager, was always available, super helpful, and created a warm atmosphere that made our stay exceptional. Aayaa Yoga truly felt like a home away from home, and the perfect place to learn more about yoga.

I loved everything about it! The environment was absolutely stunning, and the staff members were so friendly and welcoming. Plus, the location couldn’t have been better. And let’s not forget about the instructor – they were not only nice but also incredibly knowledgeable!

Everything was perfect.

I loved the diverse classes we had and got a great insight into the different elements and teaching styles of Yoga. Plus, Team Pabi and Sunil, you guys were amazing!

I really wish we could have had more time to meditate and learn about Ayurveda, but you can only learn so much in 200 hours. Overall, it was a great experience! I am thrilled that I did this ttc because I met amazing people, the teachers were fantastic, and I would definitely recommend it to everyone. Oh, and the food was delicious too!

The teachers and staff here, they’re incredibly warm, friendly, and accommodating!

I had the best experience at aayaa yoga school. It was my first time doing a yoga teacher training and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to deepen my practice and learn more about yoga and everything related to it. They taught four different styles, which allowed me to experience different approaches in yoga and adjust my classes accordingly.

The accommodation was great, with incredibly friendly staff and they even catered to my gluten-free eating preference. The best part was that the accommodation was close to Ubud, but still surrounded by beautiful rice fields, giving me the feeling of being close to nature.

The teachers at aayaa yoga school were absolutely amazing. They shared their experiences and wisdom with such enthusiasm and passion. I couldn’t have asked for better guidance on my yoga journey. I highly recommend this school for anyone looking to start their yoga journey.

Take care,
Theresa

What a wonderful place! I felt completely comfortable from the first second. The teachers are truly excellent and they really paid attention to each individual, which was truly admirable! This stay will stay in my memory forever and it has actually helped me personally a lot. A truly special experience. Thank you very much!

In my opinion, the facilities should have been a lot cleaner. This goes for my room and bathroom, as well as the yoga mats. The variety of food could have been much better; it consisted solely of white rice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Despite informing the hostel about my late-night arrival, they did not prepare the room, leaving me without essential items like toilet paper, towels, and soap. It was quite a disappointing experience after traveling for over 24 hours to get there. However, I must say that the program offered good value for money. The teachers were competent, and the food, location, and accommodation somewhat met my expectations.

The whole experience wasn’t just about one thing – it was exceptional. I’m definitely going back for the full course, since I only stayed for 5 days.

I had an absolutely amazing experience at this training! The accommodation and my room were incredible, and the location in Ubud was perfect. The yoga hall wasn’t a closed room, so it felt like being in nature all the time. It quickly started to feel like home, not just because of the place, but also because of the awesome people I met. We had so much fun together and had many deep conversations. All the teachers were fantastic – they were genuine, supportive, and always ready to help whenever you needed it. During the yoga practice, we learned so much from the experienced teachers and had a great time. They were always sympathetic and explained things twice if needed. What I loved most about this training was how it connected the physical practice with mental knowledge. It’s really important in understanding your body and yoga as a science, especially if you plan to teach. We also got to try out different yoga styles, which was really cool. The teaching style was professional but relaxed, so you always felt comfortable. We all became friends and the vibes were always positive. I enjoyed every moment of it. I can’t recommend this YTT enough! I’m so glad I chose this school because it allowed me to meet amazing people and learn so much about myself. And a huge thank you to Via, Shani, and Jagjeet for being absolutely amazing, as well as my classmates. I already miss you all! Sending lots of love <3

I’m not vegan, but besides that, I still enjoyed my meals. The teachers were amazing, kind, and loving.

The setting is absolutely stunning, and the instructors are so passionate and knowledgeable. They cover a wide range of yoga styles and meditation techniques. I’ve enjoyed every single minute here.

I only have one suggestion: let’s add more variety to the food so that my sensitive stomach can handle it better 😉 I just completed the 50-hour Aerial YTT and it was excellent. The course was well-organized and covered all the important aspects of practicing and teaching aerial yoga safely, so accidents and injuries can be avoided.

The instructor for aerial was highly experienced and structured the course really well. He even gave each student the opportunity to teach a full one-hour class. We had access to the aerial classroom 24/7, so we could practice during our breaks and prepare for our own classes.

Manish, who organized the training, was incredibly professional and responsive right from the start. He made sure we felt welcome and comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised when I received forms asking for my medical history, including any injuries or allergies, as well as my food preferences.

When I arrived at the retreat, I was greeted with such warmth! Parvitra does an amazing job of creating a family-like environment for every student. She went above and beyond to organize extra activities for those of us who wanted massages, water rafting in the Ganga, or even sessions with a tattoo artist! I noticed that Manish and Parvitra would do their best to accommodate any student requests, whether it was adjusting the schedule or organizing additional classes.

The place itself was clean, air-conditioned, and had reliable WiFi. It provided great value for the money.

I had an amazing experience at Aayaa school during my YTTC. The teachers were all knowledgeable and engaged, which made it great for learning about yoga theory, asanas, and philosophy. The schedule and organization were well-maintained, and Manish and Popi took care of us from the beginning to make sure we felt welcomed and comfortable. And let’s not forget the delicious food! Thank you for everything.

The trainings are still new, but they addressed anything I found unsatisfactory as soon as I brought it to their attention. I really enjoyed this training. The location of the retreat was good. The teachers were knowledgeable and experienced, and they had a lot to offer. I learned so much from the alignment teacher; he was great. All the things he taught will be useful for my future as a yoga teacher. The Ashtanga teacher was harsh but knowledgeable. He did great adjustments and helped me go deeper into the asanas. The Philosophy teacher was nice and knowledgeable. Even if we had any problems (which he didn’t need to help with), he took the time to solve them and communicate with us. The food was amazing. They fed us so well! I can’t forget the delicious mushrooms and spinach soybean milk cream sauce!!? The staff was nice, they remembered my favorite drink and prepared it for me after meals! ?? Our Manager Pabitra was simply amazing! I can’t express how much she impressed me. Managing food for people from different parts of the world with different tastes and appetites every day was very challenging. She even spent her holiday helping us and organizing activities for us! Special thanks to her for holding my hand during the hike ?? I thought I would fall without her help ??

The “retreat” takes place in a regular hotel where non Yoga guests also stay, so they don’t really consider our need for rest. Unfortunately, the common area is just a living room, which means there are no outside spaces to relax. Honestly, this isn’t the ideal spot for a yoga retreat or teacher training. Staying here for an entire month would be really challenging for me.

When I left, I felt like crying…. 🙁 It was the best place I could have ever asked for. Everything, from the cleanliness to the hygiene to the yoga to the food, impressed me. The people here are like a family, and you instantly become a part of it. I’m definitely going to come back for a longer stay, and I wish my new family all the best. I already miss you guys. Thank you so much for the love, yoga, food, and even the washing machine :). Jaggi is incredibly knowledgeable and loves sharing his wisdom. Vivek can definitely help you move in ways you never thought possible.
