Get certified in multiple yoga styles with a 200-hour teacher training program in Ubud, Bali lasting 22 days.

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

Sometimes, sessions get cancelled by teachers and they don’t 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 was structured, we were told to create our own class. Out of the 5 meetings, 3 were where we taught our classmates… I really didn’t learn much. I really liked the teaching method of teacher Obi because you can tell that they put their heart and soul into it.

The yoga props provided here were of poor quality and not clean. The mats and blocks at this studio were the dirtiest and lowest quality I have ever seen. That’s why I brought my own mat to avoid using theirs.

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

The accommodation wasn’t great. 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 the toilet, they also put a random board on the ceiling to cover water damage from above. For the second 100 hours, I switched rooms and had a better bathroom situation. However, you have to ask to have your room cleaned and sheets and towels changed.

But there were some amazing teachers here. Azmi and Yansha were some of the best teachers I’ve ever learned from. They were so passionate and brought great energy every day. They made sure we were ready to be yoga teachers and cared about us truly understanding the difference between just practicing and actually learning and growing from this experience. I also really loved Obi and Veny, although their classes were more focused on us learning as students rather than future teachers.

The food here was really good though. But if you’re doing the full 200 hours instead of just 100, the menu gets repetitive. Also, breakfast could use a higher protein option considering how much movement we do each day.

In the end, I enjoyed my time here because of what I learned about myself, the people I met, and the wonderful energy from the teachers who genuinely wanted to be there to teach us.

I had an amazing time in Aayaa yoga teacher training in Bali. I absolutely loved practicing yoga and meditation outdoors amidst the beautiful green surroundings with the birds and lizards singing, especially in the morning. And after that, indulging in delicious tropical fruits for breakfast was just perfect.

The teachers were not only knowledgeable but also a lot of fun to be around. They genuinely wanted us to understand and learn yoga and meditation from within. It was exactly what I needed to take a break from all the stress and learn to meditate.

What made it even better was getting to meet new people who were also into healthy lifestyles. And the food, nature, weather, sun, and massages – everything was simply amazing!

Overall, I had a fantastic time and learned more than I had anticipated. Thank you so much to all the teachers and the Aayaa crew for everything. I’ll definitely be back for more!

The room was pretty basic, but it met my needs. The meals could use more protein since there were times when they lacked it. The teachers were absolutely fantastic! Their experience was evident from the get-go. I learned far beyond my expectations during the 200-hour course. My overall experience here was incredible. The people I met during the course were amazing, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, and while the room was basic, it served its purpose. I wholeheartedly recommend this school!

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

The classes were awesome and we learned so much in such a short time! We were in a small group and the yoga space we used was open and very pleasant. The teachers were highly informative, incredibly kind, attentive, and positive. The hotel staff was extremely attentive. The food was amazing – it was varied, healthy, and delicious. I highly recommend it!

I couldn’t have imagined it being any better! The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, sharing everything that’s inside of them. Via, in particular, is like a flower, teaching me how to breathe in a way that I’ll never forget. And Shanti, well, she’s a very special person who really knows her stuff in Philosophy class and beyond.

I’m grateful for every meditation class with Hari. He’s a living example of what he preaches. And Jaggy, all the way from India, gives us precious teachings on Ayurveda and Yoga Philosophy. And let’s not forget precious Ida, who leads us in singing the Sun Salutation.

The place we’re staying in is just perfect. The rice fields and natural paths around it help you breathe properly while enjoying the most incredible colors. And the food, oh my goodness, it’s not only delicious but also really healthy. And it’s served with the biggest smile!

I definitely gained so much from this experience. My coconut is filled with more than I could have ever expected. What I loved the most is that they really stick to the traditional principles of yoga. It’s becoming rare to find a non ‘Westernized’ experience of this Eastern art of living, especially in Bali. Your body will definitely thank you for it.

Although the dining and teaching/practice areas and our rooms were relatively clean, the overall cleanliness standards of the complex could be improved. I want to express my gratitude to all the teachers – Via, Igor, Shanti, and Ida – for sharing their knowledge and skills with such openness, patience, and love. They provided us with the best resources for learning, and it was our responsibility as students to make the most of them. I really appreciate how the course finds a good balance between the spiritual aspects of yoga and the physical practice of asanas. Thanks to the inspiring teachers, I truly understood the infinite possibilities that yoga, as a science you actively practice, offers. I must also mention that the food was incredibly delicious! I also want to thank the staff, especially Hari, who was always there to assist whenever we needed help.

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, where they offer Certificates without completing courses. Deepak is definitely not qualified to teach Yin class or a 50 Hr Teacher Training. It’s not up to the standards. I left the course on Day 2, and the Manager offered me my Certificate.

I think they should improve a lot! ?✨ The lodging isn’t like in the pictures.. and it’s not even 300 meters from Laxman Jhula.. plus, 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 didn’t have a spiritual feel to them.. 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 that need improvement! They were very attentive and helpful!

I really didn’t dislike it, but personally, as a non vegetarian, I thought there was too much rice, veggies, tofu, and tempeh. The taste was amazing, but it made my stomach bloated, so I decided to switch to just having soups. Let me tell you, the soups were absolutely delicious!

The best meal was definitely breakfast – they had fruit, pancakes, and fried bananas – it was like heaven! I wish I could have stayed there longer, or maybe even moved there!

In my opinion, learning from real eastern culture is a completely different experience. It’s something indescribable that can really open your heart and make you put your ego aside. It’s the best thing that could happen to people from the western world!

The teachers are all unique in their own way, and when they come together, the energy in the room is so loving and beautiful. They’ll make you laugh so hard, but they also take their job seriously. They’ll teach you, heal you, and pass their knowledge onto you. They genuinely care and are always happy to help.

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

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

They have a swimming pool and the rooms are spacious with a stunning view where you can watch the sunset. The best part is that there are restaurants, bars, shops, and spas all within walking distance. Plus, it’s close to the Monkey Forest.

If you’re looking for a relaxing and chill retreat, this place probably isn’t the right fit for you. You’ll be learning about yoga alongside TTC students, so it’s not just going to classes.
We moved to a different accommodation, which was actually worse than the first one. But Aayaa made an effort to make up for the inconveniences, such as providing extra blankets and heaters, and getting electricians to fix the hot water problem. Whenever you have a problem, they’ll help you solve it.
Classes always start late, which can be great if you struggle to wake up in the morning, but annoying if you’re punctual.
Before applying, make sure to ask for all the information beforehand through messages. The information on bookyogaretreats can be a bit misleading about what they offer and what’s included.
The place is a bit farther from Laxman Jhula and the city vibe, but it’s still within walking distance, so it’s not a big problem. Considering the amount of money you’re spending, don’t expect luxury service or complete pampering. But overall, it’s an okay experience.
Before signing up, I had considered TTC, so being together with the students was great for me to get insight into what it’s like.
I even got a complimentary rafting experience, which was a lot of fun.
The Ashtanga class teacher is amazing!
You can join all the classes that the students are attending, so it’s a great opportunity to learn more about yoga, postures, philosophy, and more.
The food was really tasty and enjoyable.

Although everyone tried to accommodate us as much as they could, there were times when they couldn’t provide for our restricted diet. I understand that it’s difficult to accommodate, and I appreciate their effort to do what they could. This retreat exceeded our expectations. Our teachers, Manish and Kounty, were absolutely incredible. They are highly skilled, experienced, and knowledgeable. Not only that, but they are also flexible, have a great sense of humor, and are adaptable.

Manish guided us through the complexities of the spiritual and philosophical aspects of yoga, patiently answering all of our questions. Kounty amazed us with his teaching style, physical agility, and ability to integrate yoga with dance, gymnastics, and fitness. All of this, with a beautiful smile, an amazing spirit, and a wonderful sense of humor. They also tailored their training to accommodate our diverse class, including our family members of various ages and abilities. We are truly speechless and forever grateful to them.

The operational manager, Pabitra, and the business owner, Manish, took great care of us and accommodated our requests. Our two chefs cooked delicious and wholesome meals, serving them with their calm and laidback manner. Our accommodation was a charming house, with the owner living next door and the beach just a short distance away. There were also many quaint restaurants and shops in the vicinity. The house owners were very prompt in responding to us and made sure we felt comfortable and well taken care of.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are incredibly grateful for everyone coming together to take us on this short yoga journey. From our family to all of you, a heartfelt thank you and namaste!

The hotel and classes had a nice and friendly atmosphere. The Aerial classes were both fun and challenging when it came to building up strength. I found all the other classes interesting, particularly philosophy.

The food was delicious, especially breakfast. I really enjoyed the huge dining table and the low seating, which gave it an India-style feel.

The accommodation was comfortable. Since the room was chilly, they provided us with a heater, which was very nice. The hot shower was great. Overall, it was reasonably clean.

I went into this journey with no idea what to expect, but it turned out to be worth the time and training. The teachers were amazing too! Via, Shanti, Ida, and Igor all brought their own unique touch to the experience.

The marketing of this place is a total lie, and it makes me feel awful writing all of this because the teachers were nice. But I truly believe it’s manipulative and dishonest coming from the Marketing/Indian owner.

The teachers were definitely not what they were advertised to be.

The accommodation was dirty and unsanitary. The pillow had mold on it, the first towel smelled like a dog. And don’t even get me started on the shower pressure – sometimes it just didn’t work if someone else was showering at the same time. The drains in the shower and sink were almost completely blocked. And when we addressed the issue, their solution was to unscrew the pipes and put a bucket under the sink. They never once cleaned the pool, so it was yellow when we left.

The food was hit or miss. Sometimes it was good, but it was definitely not the Ayurvedic experience they advertised. It was low budget and often full of sugar. And having tofu/tempeh twice a day made all of us bloated and caused stomach pain.

The yoga philosophy was extremely difficult to follow. Honestly, you would learn more from a book or video. And they didn’t even provide the full 200 hours they promised. It was more like 150 hours.

Half of the yoga classes were basically the same as going to a regular class. And we never received any adjustments or corrections.

We had to ask multiple times before they would even consider giving us an Ayurveda class. And even then, all we got was a video. It’s pretty ridiculous.

And there was no flower or fruit composition for any kind of ceremony, despite what they claimed on their website.

Despite all of this, 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 a fun time and enjoyed my stay here. However, I wouldn’t say that all of us are ready to become teachers after this. It’s more like a good course to continue or start a spiritual journey for yourself. You’ll learn the basics of spirituality and yoga/Hindu philosophy, and get to practice yoga every day. But it feels more like a yoga retreat than a yoga teacher training course.

I didn’t experience anything negative at Aayaa Yoga. It was amazing! The staff were all friendly and welcoming, and the teachers were fantastic and supportive. It exceeded my expectations. Sunil, the manager, was always available and incredibly helpful and kind, making our stay exceptional. Aayaa Yoga felt like a home and it was a wonderful place to stay in Rishikesh while learning more about yoga.

I liked everything about it! The environment was beautiful and the staff members were friendly and welcoming. The location was excellent, and the instructor was nice and knowledgeable.

Everything was perfect.

I loved the variety of classes we had and gained a great insight into the different elements and teaching styles of Yoga. You guys at Team Pabi and Sunil provided amazing support!

I really wish we 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’m so happy I did this ttc. I met amazing people and the teachers were fantastic. I would definitely recommend it to everyone. Oh, and the food was delicious too!

The teachers and staff here are super welcoming and friendly, always ready to make you feel right at home!

I had the most amazing experience at aayaa yoga school, where I did my first ever yoga teacher training. It was the perfect place for me to deepen my practice and expand my knowledge about yoga and everything connected to it. The school taught four different styles, allowing me to learn various approaches in yoga and adapt my classes accordingly.

The accommodation at the school was nice and the staff were incredibly friendly. They also made sure to cater to my gluten-free eating preference, which was greatly appreciated. Despite being close to Ubud, the school is surrounded by beautiful rice fields, giving it a natural and serene atmosphere.

The teachers at aayaa yoga school were truly remarkable. They shared their experiences and wisdom with so much passion and dedication. I highly recommend this school to anyone starting their yoga journey, as it was the perfect beginning for me.

Best wishes,
Theresa

What a wonderful place it was! I felt extremely comfortable right from the first second. The teachers were truly excellent and they catered to each individual, which was truly admirable! This is a stay that will stay with me forever and it actually helped me grow personally. It was such a special experience. Thank you so much!

In my opinion, the facilities should have been a lot cleaner. The room/bathroom and yogamats were not up to par. The food should have been more varied instead of just white rice for all three meals. I had informed the hostel that I would be arriving in the middle of the night, but the room was not prepared. As a result, I had to go without toilet paper, towels, and soap. It was not a pleasant experience after traveling for over 24 hours to get there. However, the program did provide good value for money. The teachers were competent, and the food, location, and accommodation were somewhat what I expected.

I didn’t just find one thing exceptional; the entire experience was amazing. I’m definitely going back to try the full course since I only stayed for 5 days.

I had an amazing experience at this yoga retreat in Ubud! The accommodation was fantastic, my room was really comfortable and the location was perfect. One of the best things about the yoga hall was that it was open and you could feel the nature around you all the time. It didn’t take long for it to feel like home, and that was not only because of the accommodation. The people I met there were awesome! We had so much fun together and had deep conversations too. The teachers were all super nice, authentic, and supportive. They were always there to help whenever you needed it. During the yoga practice, we learned so much from these amazing teachers, and it was also a lot of fun. They were always sympathetic and helpful, and they explained things twice if necessary. One thing I really liked about this training was how it connected the physical practice with mental knowledge. It’s so important to understand your body and yoga as a science, especially if you want to become a teacher. We also got to learn different yoga styles, which was great because we could try them out and see which ones we liked the most. The teaching style was professional yet relaxed, so it made us feel comfortable all the time. We all became friends and the vibes were always positive. I enjoyed every moment of it. I highly recommend this yoga teacher training! I’m so glad I chose this school because I got to meet amazing people and learn so much about myself. And a huge thank you to Via, Shani, Jagjeet, and my class for being so amazing. I already miss all of you! Sending lots of love <3

I don’t follow a vegan diet, but besides that, I still thoroughly enjoyed my meals. The teachers at my school are simply amazing, kind, and loving.

The setting is absolutely beautiful, and the instructors are so passionate and knowledgeable. They cover a wide range of yoga styles and meditation practices. I’ve absolutely loved every minute of it.

I suggest diversifying the food a bit more since I have a sensitive stomach. The Aerial YTT that I participated in was well-prepared and covered all the crucial aspects needed to practice aerial yoga safely and teach it without accidents or injuries. The instructor for aerial was highly experienced and structured the course wonderfully. We even got the opportunity to teach a full hour-long class! The classroom with aerials was available 24/7, so we could practice and prepare during our breaks. Manish, who organized the training, was very professional and responsive. He made sure we felt welcomed and comfortable by sending us forms to gather our medical history and food preferences. When I arrived at the retreat, Parvitra gave me such a warm welcome. She made sure every student felt like part of the family, going above and beyond to organize additional activities upon request, such as massages, water rafting, and even sessions with a tattoo artist. If students had any requests, both Manish and Parvitra would do their best to accommodate them, whether it was adjusting the schedule or organizing extra classes. The place itself was clean, air-conditioned, and had a good WiFi connection. Overall, it was definitely worth the money.

I had an amazing experience at Aayaa school during my YTTC. All the teachers were knowledgeable and engaged. I found the yoga theory, asanas, and philosophy classes to be great. The schedule and organization were well-maintained. Manish and Popi took great care of us to ensure we felt welcomed and comfortable from the beginning. And the food, oh my, it was absolutely delicious! 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 great, and the teachers were knowledgeable and experienced. They had so much to offer. The alignment teacher was amazing, and I learned a lot from him. I thought all the things he taught would be useful for my future as a yoga teacher. The Ashtanga teacher was tough but knowledgeable. He did some great adjustments and helped me go deeper into the asanas. The Philosophy teacher was nice and knowledgeable too. Even though he didn’t have to, he helped us with any problems we had and took the time to communicate with us privately about the content and any other issues. The food was amazing. They really fed us well! I can’t forget the delicious mushrooms and spinach soy bean milk cream sauce! The staff was nice and remembered my favorite drink, always having it ready after the meal. Our Manager Pabitra was simply incredible! I can’t express enough how impressed I am with her. It must have been so difficult to manage the food for everyone every day, considering we all came from different parts of the world with different tastes and appetites. She even spent her holiday helping us and organizing activities for us! A special thanks to her for holding my hand during the hike. I really thought I would fall without her help.

The retreat takes place in a regular hotel where non-Yoga guests are present. They don’t respect our much-needed rest time. Unfortunately, the common area is just a living room, so we don’t have any outdoor spaces to unwind. Honestly, this isn’t the ideal location for a yoga retreat or teacher training. I doubt I’ll be able to endure a whole month in such circumstances.

When I left, I really wanted to cry…. 🙁 This place was absolutely amazing – I couldn’t have asked for a better place. Everything, from cleanliness to hygiene to yoga to food, was so impressive. The people here are like a family, and you instantly become part of them. I’m definitely coming back for a longer stay, and I wish my new family the best of luck. I already miss you guys so much. Thank you all for the love, the yoga, the delicious food, and even the washing machine :). Jaggi is incredibly knowledgeable and loves to share his wisdom. And Vivek, he can really get you moving in ways you never thought possible.
