November 17, 2023 at 12:00 amI stayed at One Degree Sunset Hill, which is located on the main road, so it could get noisy at night. Just a heads up for light sleepers! But overall, the place was nice and clean, the bed was comfy, and the staff was really nice and helpful. Unfortunately, there was no fridge in the room.
I rated it a 5, although the room was more of a 4/5 in terms of quality and price. I did my 200-hour YTT with Uluyoga in Bali. All of the teachers were amazing!
It’s the perfect blend of authentic yoga with caring and humble individuals. In Bali, close to the beaches, it’s an ideal environment. If you’re looking for a well-organized school that offers a great balance of different teachers’ energies and knowledge, this is the place for you. You get a taste of various yoga styles, which helps you discover what you prefer.
The included breakfast was delicious, with sweet and savory options. The shala is peaceful and conveniently located, with many good restaurants nearby for lunch and dinner. A big thank you to the ULU yoga team! Héloïse was our leader teacher and she was amazing. Her energy was infectious, and her knowledge of chakras was enlightening. Manjeet, the philosophy teacher, had a perfect mix of traditional Indian knowledge and modern wisdom. Salome taught us Ashtanga with a traditional approach, Eddie with Arial yoga, Lloyd and Flo with acro yoga, and Krystal with flowy vinyasa – they were all great. Tania, the coordinator, was so helpful and caring!
I highly recommend this school for an enriching yoga experience.

If you have the chance, I suggest going for the premium package for hotel rooms onsite with the shala. Trust me, it’s worth it. The content and learning format were top-notch. The online videos really complemented the in-person program well.
The instructors were genuine, kind, and very knowledgeable. We got to try out a bunch of different yoga styles and it was a blast. I always felt taken care of and safe during the training. If you’re looking for an authentic teacher training experience, I highly recommend Ulu Yoga.

August 24, 2023 at 12:00 amWe loved using the swing that Ulu created because it’s really easy to use. It was a happy experience for us. I guess I’ll just have to adapt what I learned on it to the more regular swings we have in my country. The Aerial Teacher Training at ULU yoga was amazing. Eddie did a fantastic job of keeping everything organized and flowing smoothly from start to finish. Bamboo, the space where we were hosted, was lovely. The shala was charming, the staff was kind, and the food was delicious.
The days were structured really well, with a good mix of theory, practice, and rest time. Minty was an incredible teacher, very knowledgeable and warm. Heloise was great, and Lloyd explained Anatomy really well. Eddie’s morning aerial flow was the best. There were 12 of us in the group, half of whom were yoga teachers and some were new to aerial yoga. The course was adaptable to each level, which was great.
We all felt grateful for the experience and we instantly became close to each other. We stayed at Taman Sari, which was also great.

August 19, 2023 at 12:00 amThe 3D accommodation was the only thing that wasn’t perfect. It wasn’t cleaned as often and there were a couple of times when we didn’t have any water. Some people might have had a problem with that, but I wasn’t bothered at all. It was all part of the experience and I embraced it, living like a native. I loved it anyway and would stay there again. From the beginning, the girls communicated with me brilliantly in the emails, giving me all the support I needed to feel safe and confident about the course. The online classes were so inspiring and exciting, I’ve never enjoyed studying so much in my life. I love all the teachers, but Manjeet was my favorite. His wisdom and energy came through the screen, helping me understand Yoga philosophy and the benefits of Pranayama and training our minds. Cody’s Anatomy classes were also very interesting, his dynamic teaching style made it easier to understand. Choosing between Thailand and Indonesia for the in-person part was tough, but my heart and intuition chose Bali. It turned out to be a decision I am grateful for. Uluwatu is an amazing town, with incredible energy, beaches, and restaurants. Everyone I met at our Shala has a special place in my heart, from my classmates to the teachers to all the staff at Le Bamboo. They created a supportive community where we not only learned new skills but also learned to connect and love ourselves better. The different activities in Ulu helped us build confidence as teachers and be creative and intuitive in our classes. I am truly grateful for finding this course and having this experience.

August 9, 2023 at 12:00 amHere are a few things I think I should mention:
Helpful Review1. The hotels are very basic, nothing fancy so you should manage your expectations on accommodation.
2. Due to two classes going on at the same time, there were some communication and coordination issues, but it’s understandable. It was my first yoga teacher training and my first time in Bali – the three-week experience was absolutely amazing!
It was more than just learning yoga and training as a yoga teacher – I’m truly grateful for everything I learned there. I learned about self-love, being brave, staying humble, and so much more. I highly recommend it for the following reasons:
1. Ulu Yoga offers a variety of interesting non-traditional yoga courses, such as aerial, acro, beach, and SUP. As an aerial yoga lover, I had so much fun with Ulu’s unique hammock!
2. The teachers are lovely, caring, and knowledgeable with diverse backgrounds. The classmates are from all over the world, which makes everyday a learning experience about new cultures and life stories.
3. I attended the training in Uluwatu, which is a less touristy area near the beach with many good restaurants and cafes.
4. Materials provided include a textbook on site and an online learning platform that was very helpful. You have access to it for about a year to revisit as needed.

August 5, 2023 at 12:00 amI had a great experience with the teacher training itself! Walking in Uluwatu isn’t the best since there aren’t many walkways and most people opt for taxis or scooters. However, it was still possible to walk to the beach. Despite a lot of construction going on, we didn’t hear any noise at the Shala where we did yoga and were able to relax perfectly. The teachers were kind, experienced, and gave clear instructions. They were always available to help and had a wealth of knowledge to share. I really enjoyed trying out Aerial, SUP, and Acroyoga – it was fun to explore different styles.
The delicious breakfast and long lunch break were great for preparing for teaching exams and relaxing by the pool before afternoon classes. The ULUyoga team took care of everything, even organizing our stay and providing reliable taxi numbers. The online hours were well-structured and the videos were high-quality. Plus, you still have access to the videos after the course.

Plus, I had the pleasure of meeting some beautiful people I will cherish forever!
Some key highlights for me were:
1) The online content – being able to access online classes before, during, and after the 21-day part was great. It helped me build a strong foundation of knowledge and will be useful for recapping bits after as well.
2) The teachers – I am so grateful to all the teachers for everything they taught us on and off the mat, their support, and their amazing energy <3
3) The timetable - there was a good balance of physical asana practice, classroom learning, and downtime to relax, self-study, process, and explore.
4) The mix of yoga - it was fantastic to have a focus on vinyasa & Hatha with Ariel, acro, and yin alongside. I loved them all!
5) The venue - Le bamboo was perfect! It's a beautiful bohemian resort set on a hillside with ocean views, an infinity pool, fantastic staff, and delicious food. The shala had everything we needed and lovely nature views. We even got to try out the new Ulu shala - so spacious and calm, perfect for Ariel and acro.

I felt like the owners were just trying to make money off of us since Koh Phangan is such a touristy island. We barely did any meditation, didn’t learn about Yoga philosophy or spirituality, and didn’t cover any anatomy. We only had one Acro session and one SUB Yoga session. Breakfast was included, but it wasn’t enough to keep us energized. Some participants were total beginners, while others had already completed their 200h or 300h training. It left the group feeling frustrated when we went over basic anatomy and philosophy again.

When I arrived in Thailand, the resort employees had a friendly vibe that made me feel completely welcomed. The room was okay, but I should have gone for the room with air conditioning since the weather was super hot and humid. However, I persevered.
The instructors, Cody and Lena, were super nice, chill, and great people. They made us feel welcomed, and their teaching style was excellent for both beginners and advanced yoga students. Cody’s explanation of the philosophy was relatable and helped me understand it well. Lena was a calm teacher with a soothing voice that made me aspire to be a great teacher like her.
Overall, Ulu Yoga changed me for the better. It took me a while to write this review because reminiscing about my experience makes me want to go back. I miss the vibe and the people. I will definitely choose Ulu Yoga for my next course.
Thank you, Ulu Yoga. Much love ❤️.

September 8, 2022 at 12:00 amFrom the start, Saghar did a lot to help me. She reassured me, explained what the stay would look like, and helped me arrange my trip. I felt very comfortable at the venue, partly thanks to the teachers (Cody, Lena, and Elif), and of course, thanks to Saghar. They are all very compassionate, sweet, and qualified. My experience was really good and I would definitely do my 300 hours here too.

August 17, 2022 at 12:00 amI like how the course is structured. The instructors are great with our time and have made it possible for us to enjoy all the activities in the course. I really appreciate how they allow us to engage with other students, like practicing teaching with them and getting familiar with the sequence before the actual teaching practice. The instructors also provide constructive feedback regularly, letting us know our strengths, areas for improvement, and giving suggestions for better approaches. It was a well-rounded experience that I thoroughly enjoyed. I’m so grateful for it!

August 15, 2022 at 12:00 amIn Canada, the time difference made it hard for me to attend in-person yoga practice through zoom. Luckily, I was given access to recorded classes so I could still join in from home on my own time. Ulu Yoga has put together a comprehensive program covering philosophy, anatomy, pranayamas, meditations, Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin yoga, and Asana analytics. Each teacher brings a wealth of knowledge to their instructions. The Ulu Yoga team is incredibly kind and supportive of their students. This program will definitely help you grow your yoga practice and lay a solid foundation for becoming a yoga teacher.
I love the flexibility of doing the course at my own pace from home. Some of my favorite parts have been practicing yoga with Janaina and listening to her beautiful voice singing mantras. I’ve enjoyed learning challenging asanas and anatomy from Cody. Kehkashan’s classes have gone deep into analyzing asanas with variations and the use of props. Manjeet and Dr. Kalpana have taught me the fundamentals of yoga, pranayama, and meditation, helping me connect with myself and find inner peace in so many positive ways. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Ulu Yoga during my search for a 200hr yoga teacher training.

May 9, 2022 at 12:00 amThe audio quality for “bones 1” and “muscles” was not great. It was hard to understand Cody because the sound was too low. I appreciated Cody Pizer’s knowledge as our course trainer. I learned a lot even though I already had a background in Biology and previous YTT. The topics were explained clearly and it was easy to follow along. The course was well-structured with basic anatomy and functional anatomy sections. I liked how we could apply the theory to our classes as Yoga Teachers, especially when it comes to supporting students with injuries.

May 4, 2022 at 12:00 amI only didn’t like that I couldn’t do the training in person due to covid. At first, I was hesitant about taking on a big 300-hour training online, but I ended up giving it a shot because of the circumstances. Thank goodness I went with ULU Yoga; right from the start, they provided a warm and welcoming community with the opportunity to join live lessons and teaching practices every week. These sessions were the best part, so make sure you don’t miss out on them!
All the teachers were experts and added their own unique personalities to their teachings, which was fantastic. It was a great chance to learn from the best. The training was well-organized and progressed in a logical way; I never felt overwhelmed throughout the course.
The best part of doing the training online was being able to go at my own pace. The training urged me to be self-critical and helped me grow and see things from a new perspective. The ULU support team was always there for me at a moment’s notice.
I can’t stress enough how great this training is – I highly recommend joining the live lessons and teaching practice sessions; they are the real gems of the course. And most importantly, remember to enjoy the journey.

August 11, 2020 at 12:00 amI have dreamt of learning yoga with this school for a long time. Two of my friends took the course and loved it, and finally, thanks to online learning, I was able to join too. I met daily with all the instructors in live classes, and the benefit of online learning was being able to record classes to watch again and review. Instead of just relying on my poor note-taking skills in a classroom, I had the opportunity to rewatch and learn at my own pace.
We also had private study groups with other students, which allowed me to form connections and make friends from around the world – something I was worried about missing out on. The traditional yoga instruction was very detailed and organized, and Salomé, the incredible instructor and practitioner, made the philosophy come alive. The format of assigned readings, questions, and follow-up discussions helped me understand yoga philosophy clearly after years of trying.
A real treat was getting to see Bali in the videos, which gave me huge motivation to travel there and take the course in person next year. I also had the opportunity to practice teaching on Zoom with members of the course and even taught my mother while stuck at home. Recording myself teaching and receiving feedback from the instructors was a great learning tool – watching myself was hard at first, but the best way to improve.
I now feel confident to teach and help others, and I am grateful and happy with everything I have learned.

June 8, 2019 at 12:00 amI am so grateful to my teachers for all the love and thanks I have to express. The yoga class was just what I needed – they paired me with two advanced students, so I learned much faster than I expected. It’s clear how much thought and detail went into organizing everything, which I appreciate as a project manager. From greeting guests to scoring tests, every detail was carefully considered. The instructors led the poses while we worked in pairs or groups, and there were plenty of breaks and guided activities, like beach and spa excursions, to keep us balanced. The staff went above and beyond, spending time with us outside of class and organizing outings. The 24/7 hands-on group coordinator was a fantastic idea that kept us united and motivated. I can’t wait to come back for the 300 hour course later this year. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

January 15, 2019 at 12:00 amThis retreat was probably the best time of my life. We did yoga practice, learned philosophy and anatomy, and meditated all day from waking up to falling asleep. I was so thankful for all the little tips and encouragement, like the one about keeping silence until after breakfast to honor the sacred morning time. A big thanks to all the instructors for listening to us during our personal interviews on arrival, asking about our health and background. It was the first time in forever that anyone cared about my real feelings and thoughts. It was strange at first because I didn’t even know how to express them. Then, we had group meetings with all the students to share our feedback and experiences. It was a very touching memory that I miss very much now. My body has healed from years of weakness, and my alignment has been corrected, fixing many errors in my practice that I never knew existed. I am so grateful for the opportunity to practice teaching yoga and now have the confidence to continue deepening my skills.

The location was incredible, even better than I had hoped for. I was able to walk to two beaches every day, and the little beach at the resort was perfect for private suntanning 😉 Haad Yao Beach was huge and filled with cool cafes, massage places, and it was all so cheap! Secret Beach was so calm and tranquil. There were only two restaurants, but both were excellent and gave off a cozy vibe.

I was impressed by the quality coming from Thailand. The rest of the breakfast was good too, with muesli, toast, eggs, salad, seeds, and fruits. But those gluten-free pancakes and cappuccino were worth the extra cost. Breakfast was enjoyable as we all ate together, it felt like high school.

The instructors were experts in this style, which made me very happy to have the flexibility to choose what I wanted to do. The Seaview from my room and the breathtaking beaches on both sides of the resort were absolutely stunning. It was a challenge to wake up early for meditation at first, but I grew to enjoy it and now plan to deepen my practice daily.

December 19, 2018 at 12:00 amShashi, Victoria, and Edward warmly greeted me at the resorts. I was surprised and impressed that the teachers gave each student a private interview to assess our health, experience, and course expectations. Throughout the week, we had group sharing circles to express our feelings. The instructors welcomed and embraced any suggestions we made. I was worried that the Ariel acro yoga would be too challenging, as I had only tried regular and Vinyasa yoga before. However, the regular yoga classes were the best I had ever experienced. The other styles were also excellent, although I didn’t have much to compare them to. The quality of the group work encouraged us to become more self-sufficient and caring towards each other.

December 19, 2018 at 12:00 amThis course provided the perfect escape in a pristine natural environment, along with a valuable learning experience that was exactly what I needed. The instructors were kind and encouraged me to rest when necessary. In the afternoon, the resort treated us to free coconuts and a special electrolyte mix, which may have seemed odd but was surprisingly invigorating. The breakfast was decent, but the lunch was excellent. I indulged in traditional Thai dishes like pad Thai and green curry from the regular menu. I attempted to eat at cheaper restaurants nearby, but the quality didn’t compare to the resort. So, two other students and I decided to sign up for a cooking class there, which turned out to be a blast. Each day offered a variety of classes, from relaxing sup and regular yoga to more serious subjects like philosophy and anatomy. The instructors took the time to explain everything thoroughly and answer all of our questions. I developed a strong bond with the other students, teachers, and staff throughout the course. It truly felt like a close-knit yoga family village that will always hold a special place in my heart.

December 19, 2018 at 12:00 amFirst of all, the staff responded quickly to my email and sent study material before my arrival. When I arrived, I felt like I already knew the instructors and had a good grasp on the basics of breathing and foundational poses. It was great because all the other students had done the same, so we had common ground to discuss and share our progress.
I was worried that the training wouldn’t be serious because of the variety of styles offered. However, the schedule struck a perfect balance between fun and serious study. If someone wasn’t as interested in teaching and wanted to skip certain things, they could opt for sup or beach yoga instead. Even these classes were structured in a methodical way.
I was pleasantly surprised by how organized the sup classes were, and I absolutely loved the aerial yoga. Their unique style and special aerial hammocks were incredibly comfortable. Many thanks and lots of love to Shashi, Viktoria, and Edward.

I felt shy at first to express my opinion, but the instructors sincerely welcomed anything they could do. There are two yoga spaces – one with an ocean view and another by the pool, which was nice because it had mirrors. It was so nice they let me take a mat and some blocks to practice on my balcony. Sometimes it was so hot I was sweating like in a Bikram class, but the studio had big fans blasting the whole time, and after releasing so many toxins, I was sweating much less. Overall, the level of instruction had a great depth and variety, and the location was heavenly.

December 16, 2018 at 12:00 amI didn’t drink enough water the first few days and felt exhausted with the heat, but the teachers cared for us and gave everyone a free coconut. Soon, we adjusted and were back in full power. I will always remember this awesome experience. I came mostly for the philosophy lectures, but the extra sup yoga sessions were actually my favorite. If your budget allows, I recommend upgrading to a deluxe sea view room, which was incredible. The teachers are very knowledgeable, skilled, and equally caring to beginners and experienced students. The yoga classes offered a good variety for both beginners and advanced students, with options to go deeper or take child’s pose. The other students were wonderful, and I made so many friends from different countries. We went out for dinner almost every night to a new place in town and on the beach.

I was pleasantly surprised by the beauty of Thailand and the quality of the course exceeded my expectations. The accommodation was surrounded by green gardens with ocean views, and the teachers and staff were very friendly. The breakfast every day was varied and healthy.

Balancing on a paddleboard with sup yoga was tough, but the instructors were very attentive and supportive. We visited different beaches almost every day in our free time, enjoying the incredible views as we drove around the hilly roads. I learned to love waking up at 6 AM to do yoga in the beautiful shala overlooking the sea, and at night, I could hear the waves and feel the ocean breeze in my bed.

July 25, 2018 at 12:00 amEverything at the yoga retreat was wonderful, but getting there can be tough if you don’t plan ahead. I was a bit nervous to join since I’m not a slim yogi, but I was relieved to find that each class had options for beginners like me as well as more advanced options for others. What I liked most was their focus on detail and safety. They always made sure to point out potential risks and benefits of each pose, whether it was traditional yoga, aerial, or sup, instead of just telling us how to do them.
It seemed like they had tons of experience, since they offer so many courses each year. Some students who had done 200 trainings before even said this course was far better than others they had taken, even regretting spending money on cheaper training in India.
I may not end up teaching yoga professionally, but I definitely feel confident enough to lead my friends and family through a practice. The island, resort, and yoga studio were all gorgeous. The only downside was the staff at the resort, so I ended up switching to a nearby hotel. The rooms were just as nice and cost the same, so I’d recommend staying at High Life Resort or Haad Son Resort at Secret Beach instead.
