Hybrid YTT: 300HR in Koh Phangan, 200 Online, 42 Day program at Beachfront Resort.

I really enjoyed this week. It was the perfect mix of practical and theoretical work, and they even offer a fun evening program. Plus, they made sure my accommodation was close to the yoga training center so I could easily walk there. I definitely recommend it.

I participated in the 200H Yoga Teacher Training program and it totally blew me away! It was such a beautiful experience that helped me dive deeper into the world of yoga. I learned so much not only about physical asanas but also about the spirituality and many other aspects of yoga.

The instructors were amazing – they were knowledgeable, warm-hearted, and passionate. With their support, our group created a safe space for personal growth, self-discovery, and sharing. It was all very well organized, I highly recommend it! ❤️

I loved everything! I wish I had signed up for 21 days instead of 14! Uluyoga has really nailed it with providing us the perfect environment to fully immerse ourselves in our learning experience. The teachers are friendly and easy to approach, the admin staff are caring and reliable. The classes were organized in a way that we got to practice teaching every day, which helped build our confidence even if we had never taught before. I couldn’t wait for classes each day, especially with my awesome new friends by my side.

Honestly, I loved everything. The organization, food, teachers, class schedule – everything was done so well. It was an amazing, life-changing experience. I’m new to the yoga world and didn’t know what to expect, but I enjoyed every class. The teachers were all unique and knowledgeable. I felt welcomed and appreciated. Our group of students became like family to me. We shared experiences, cried, laughed, practiced meditation, pranayamas, and asanas together. We went for massages, had meals together – it was an unforgettable growing experience. I’m grateful for the opportunity to enrich my life with so much knowledge and tools to navigate life’s hurdles and enjoy beautiful moments ahead.

I wish we could have a full pension training, but overall, it was perfect! The aerial, acroyoga, and sap yoga were just amazing!

I thought the analytics classes could use a bit more structure, but they were still really good. The teachers shared so much knowledge. KK is a total yoga expert – she has a ton of information to share. She’s so welcoming, caring, and always has an answer for our questions.

I chose to do my yoga course with Ulu because they included Acro and Aerial experience, which gave me a taste of different practices. The instructors were all amazing and made me feel like part of a little family. This environment made me feel more secure and open during the sessions. I really miss this group and would love to do the course again!

I found the yoga teacher training and community at Ulu Yoga to be a lifesaver. Eddie and the team supported me every step of the way, especially when I was dealing with health issues. Thanks to their help, I made it through training without missing a single class and grew into a confident instructor. The support and encouragement I received from my yoga family made all the difference. Ulu Yoga’s high standard and top-notch instructors are a testament to their dedication. I’ll always carry the love and care I found there into my own teaching practice. I also appreciate the aerial yoga swing Eddie created – it’s so much easier to use than my old one. I’ll never forget the incredible people at Ulu Yoga and I hope more lives can be positively impacted as mine was.

There was only 1 toilet at the original shala, but the ULU program was fantastic. It offered a mix of theory, yoga history, vinyasa, hatha, yin, acro, and aerial yoga. The teachers were knowledgeable, engaging, and just all-around great humans, making the learning experience brilliant. The mix of students from around the world with different yoga backgrounds and ages made the 3 weeks a blast and led to great friendships. The new ULU shala is well-appointed with stunning views. Being able to choose your own accommodation and find your own meals was a real plus. I stayed at the Hidden Hills Villas, which were gorgeous and an easy walk to both ULU Shalas.

“I wish someone would explain the different styles in more detail and tell us why, who, and when each class is best. As a Kundalini teacher, I wanted to learn more about the wide range of yoga practices. Luckily, I got to learn from ULU teachers every day, as well as from other passionate and skilled teachers in the community.”

Here are a few things I want to mention:

1. The accommodations are very basic, nothing fancy, so you’ll need to manage your expectations.
2. We had some miscommunication and coordination issues due to two classes going on at the same time, but it’s understandable. This 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 much more. I highly recommend it for the following reasons:
1. They offer a variety of interesting non-traditional yoga courses like aerial, acro, beach, and SUP. I’m an aerial yoga lover and had a blast with Ulu’s unique hammock!
2. The teachers are caring and knowledgeable, and my classmates were from all over the world, making every day a learning experience about different cultures and life stories.
3. The location in Uluwatu is less touristy, close to the beach, and has great restaurants and cafes.
4. They provide a textbook on-site and an online learning platform you can access for about a year, which I found very helpful. You can revisit it as needed.

I didn’t have any negative experiences during the teacher training itself!

I prefer walking over taking taxis or scooters, but Uluwatu isn’t very pedestrian-friendly. There are hardly any walkways, but you can still make your way to the beach on foot. Most people opt for taxis or scooters instead of walking.

There’s a lot of construction happening in Uluwatu, but we couldn’t hear it at the Shala. It was a peaceful environment for practicing yoga with experienced and kind teachers. They provided excellent instructions and assistance to students. I really enjoyed learning Aerial, SUP, and Acroyoga.

The breakfast was tasty, and the long lunch break allowed us to relax by the pool before afternoon classes and teaching exams. The ULUyoga team took care of everything, from hotel arrangements to local taxi drivers for airport transfers.

The structured online hours and high-quality videos were helpful, and you can access them even after the course ends. If I had more vacation days, I would have loved to stay longer and complete the 300-hour course right away. I hope to return to Bali in the future for another course with ULUyoga.

Maybe the mat isn’t always that clean, so it might be best to bring my own. The examination seems too long – maybe 60 minutes would be better for beginners. I really love the teaching vibe and environment here. Doing yoga in a bamboo shala with teachers from different backgrounds is great. I learn so much every day, both physically and philosophically. My favorite part is the interaction in class, like the sharing circle and all the activities. And the sup yoga and acro yoga are amazing! I never expected to experience so much here. And I’m always surprised by how cute my classmates are!

I loved it all <3 Wow, where to begin!? The Ulu 21-day 200hr YTT in Uluwatu was just incredible! I wanted to do yoga and learn more about yogi philosophy, and I came away with a truly transformative life experience. Plus, I met some amazing people who will always hold a special place in my heart! Here are some key highlights:

1) I loved being able to access online classes before, during, and after the 21-day program. It really helped me build a strong foundation of knowledge.
2) Huge gratitude to all the teachers for their amazing energy and support both on and off the mat.
3) The timetable struck a perfect balance between physical practice, class time, and downtime.
4) I enjoyed the mix of yoga styles, especially vinyasa, Hatha, Ariel, acro, and yin.
5) The venue, Le Bamboo, was absolutely perfect with its ocean views, infinity pool, great staff, and delicious food. The shala had everything we needed and the new Ulu shala was spacious and calm.
6) Eddie and his team did an amazing job organizing the program and their communication was top-notch.

I'm so grateful for this experience and highly recommend Ulu YTT to anyone looking for a life-changing journey!

I really enjoyed trying out different types of yoga that the teachers introduced me to. They were all great and I learned a lot from the experience.

I won’t book this teacher training again, sorry. This was not my first YTT but it was definitely the “least Yogi” one so far. I felt like the owners were just trying to make as much money as possible since Koh Phangan is such a touristy island. We didn’t do much meditation, didn’t learn about Yoga philosophy or spirituality, and didn’t have any anatomy lessons. We only had one Acro and one SUB Yoga session. Breakfast was included, but it wasn’t enough to keep us nourished.

Some participants had just arrived with no knowledge, while others had been there for two weeks already doing their 200h or 300h training. It was a very mixed level group, which led to frustration when we started another anatomy or philosophy lesson.

The teachers were great, friendly, and knowledgeable. I would definitely attend another class with them.

Unfortunately, I often didn’t feel comfortable at night in the accommodation.
I recommend booking the accommodation privately.
A big thank you to the entire ULU Yoga team for introducing different, sometimes very creative or innovative yoga styles, combined with a glimpse into the depths of yoga philosophy and spirituality. It gives you a whole new perspective.
Any perfectionists looking to criticize something here should definitely work on their Shavasana!

It would be nice to have another day off to enjoy some free time activities with the Organizer. The resort staff was too slow for the appointed breakfast. Even after addressing the issue, there was no improvement. It would have been nice to have some extras like discounts at the restaurant, laundry services, or scooters (even though they were technically offered, they weren’t realistic). There was a good variety of yoga styles, anatomy lessons, different teachers, beautiful location, teaching exercises, stand-up paddleboarding, and diverse participants.

The staff at the beautiful resort were kind and accommodating, but the breakfasts could have been better. They weren’t filling, so I often had to order a second dish. The quality of the food provided was not as good as the food bought outside. Cody and Shashi, who run the resort, are amazing and created a safe space for self-exploration and vulnerability. I felt heard, seen, and loved during my 3 weeks in Koh PhaNgan. Their knowledge was impressive and had a huge impact on how I want to live my life. The course boosted my confidence as a teacher and allowed me to release any emotions that needed to be let go of. I’m grateful for this investment in myself.

KK and Minty provided outstanding instruction and attention to detail. They were amazing, offering support, approachability, and knowledge. It was a great opportunity to meet people from all over the world who shared similar interests.

From the start, Saghar really helped me out. She reassured me, explained what the stay would be like, and helped me arrange my trip. I felt super comfortable at the venue, thanks to the teachers (Cody, Lena, and Elif) and, of course, Saghar. They’re all very compassionate, sweet, and qualified. I had a great experience and I would definitely come back for my 300 hours here too.

Attending in-person yoga practice through Zoom was harder for me due to the time difference in Canada. Luckily, I was able to access recorded classes and participate from home on my own schedule. Ulu Yoga has put together a comprehensive program covering philosophy, anatomy, pranayamas, meditations, Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin yoga, and Asana analytics. Each teacher brings their own wealth of knowledge to the instructions. The Ulu Yoga team is incredibly kind and supportive of their students. Taking this course is guaranteed to help grow your yoga practice and lay a solid foundation for becoming a yoga teacher. What I love most is the flexibility of being able to do the course at my own pace from home. I especially enjoy practicing yoga with Janaina and listening to her beautiful voice singing mantras. Cody has taught me more challenging asanas and anatomy, which I find fascinating. Kehkashan takes a deep dive into analytics of asanas with variations and the use of props. Manjeet and Dr. Kalpana have introduced me to the roots of yoga, pranayama, and meditation, helping me connect with myself and find inner peace in many positive ways. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Ulu Yoga in my search for a 200hr yoga teacher training.

I’m so glad I took this course, it’s been a new experience for me. I learned a new style of Yoga and picked up some fresh teaching techniques. The course is awesome – it gives me plenty of time to practice and train. And the best part is, it breaks down anatomy in a super easy and interesting way.

The rooms need renovating, they’re quite old and my neighbors really disturbed me, especially at night. Professional and experienced teachers were working with us.

The training location was near plenty of restaurants and cafes, as well as shopping areas. The private beach was an extraordinary facility.

The audio quality of “bones 1” and “muscles” was not great. It was difficult to understand what Cody was saying because the sound was so low. I really appreciated the knowledge shared by our course trainer Cody Pizer. Even though I already had a background in Biology and previous YTT experience, I was still learning a lot of new things. Cody presented the topics in a clear and understandable way, making it easy to follow along. I also enjoyed the course’s clear structure and the separation of basic anatomy and functional anatomy. The selection of topics was great, as it can be applied directly to our yoga classes, especially in how we can support students with injuries.

I have been dreaming of learning yoga with this school for a long time. Two of my friends took the course and loved it, and now thanks to online learning I was able to join in too. I met daily with all the instructors in live classes, and the benefit of online learning was being able to record the classes to watch again and review. Instead of just relying on my note-taking skills in a classroom, I found the online format much more helpful. We also had private study groups with other students, so I was able to form great connections and make friends from around the world, which was something I was worried about missing out on. The traditional yoga instruction was very detailed and organized, and Salomé, the instructor, was incredible. The philosophy aspect was also something I really loved. The format of assigned readings, questions, and follow-up discussions was so well-structured. I had been trying to study yoga philosophy for years, and now everything is much clearer. Watching the videos of Bali was a real treat and has motivated me to travel there and take the course in person next year.

One thing that really helped me was the teaching examinations. I practiced teaching several course members on Zoom and even taught my mother while stuck at home. I recorded myself teaching, and the instructors gave me some very good feedback. It was difficult at first to watch myself, but it turned out to be the best way to learn. I now feel confident in teaching and helping others, and I am extremely grateful and happy with everything.

You should definitely give the yoga style mixing Hatha and Buddhism a try, even if you’re not familiar with either. The place is absolutely beautiful and perfect for a relaxing yoga retreat and holiday in paradise. The owners take great care of everything, making sure your experience is perfect. It’s not as busy as Bali, but it’s clean, quiet, and surrounded by pristine nature. I absolutely loved it!

Everything felt great. It rained a little, but it was actually refreshing. This experience has been absolutely amazing from start to finish. The school treated me like a true friend and shared deep knowledge with me that I will never forget. More than just learning about yoga poses and alignment, which were absolutely enlightening, the philosophy and new way of thinking and being have changed my life. The food, location, and beaches are all stunningly gorgeous. Sometimes you can’t believe your eyes with the water colors and sunsets that look like they are from a dream. I totally recommend you come and stay as long as possible.

This experience was probably the best time of my life. We had yoga practice and philosophy or anatomy and meditation all day, from waking till sleep. I was so thankful for all the little tips and encouragement, like keeping silence until after breakfast to honor the sacred morning time. And a big thanks to all the instructors for hearing us out. They conducted a personal interview on arrival to ask about my health and background, which was the first time in forever anyone had cared about my real feelings and thoughts. It was strange at first, as I didn’t even know how to express them. Then we had group meetings with all the students to share our feedback and experience. It was a very touching memory that I miss very much now. My body has healed from years of weakness and the alignment corrected so 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.

I truly had a wonderful time and highly recommend this to anyone looking to learn about yoga philosophy, meditation, and enjoy a holiday retreat on a beautiful tropical island. A big thanks to everyone, especially my lovely teachers and fellow companions.

– My time here was amazing – I can’t praise it enough! The staff helped me with everything I needed, the room had a stunning ocean view that lulled me to sleep with the sound of the waves. Breakfast offered a delicious rice pudding with coconut milk, perfect for my gluten-free diet. The restaurant, nestled next to the pool in the jungle, was a peaceful retreat. I loved practicing yoga on the beach for both sunrise and sunset, with most classes held in the yoga Shala. The inspiring teachers shared their passion and knowledge of yoga philosophy and alignment. I’m so thankful for everyone here and I hope to come back someday.

The school gave us high-quality yoga mats and their own custom-made aerial swings, which were much more comfortable than the silk hammocks I’d tried before. I didn’t enjoy SUP yoga as much because I easily get seasick, but I absolutely loved the aerial yoga classes. They really knew their stuff when it came to this style. I was thrilled with the flexibility to choose what I wanted to focus on in the program. The breathtaking view of the sea from my room and the stunning beaches on either side of the resort were amazing. Waking up early for meditation was tough at first, but I grew to love it and now plan to deepen my practice daily. The opportunity to practice teaching yoga was a highlight for me. It boosted my confidence and strength, and now I can’t wait to go home and share my newfound knowledge with my friends and family.

This course provided the perfect escape in a pristine natural environment, along with a great learning experience that was just what I needed. The instructors were kind and encouraged me to rest whenever I needed to. In the afternoon, the resort gave us free coconuts and a special electrolyte mix that was a bit strange but very invigorating. The breakfast was decent, but the lunch was really excellent. I ordered various traditional Thai dishes like pad Thai and green curry from the regular menu. I tried eating at cheaper restaurants nearby, but the quality was not as good as at the resort. So, two other students and I signed up for a cooking class there, which was a lot of fun. Every day, there were plenty of classes to choose from like SUP, regular yoga, and more serious subjects like philosophy and anatomy. The instructors took the time to explain everything in detail and answer all of our questions. I really enjoyed getting to know the other students, teachers, and staff. It felt like a little yoga family village that will always hold a special place in my heart.

I sometimes miss the big shopping in Bangkok, but Koh Phangan has a nice Saturday market. That’s the trade off for natural beauty 🙂 This yoga retreat was my first, and it truly exceeded all my expectations. It has completely changed my life and values, as well as the friendships I’ve made. When I go back home, I know I won’t be the same person. I’ll have to cut off many negative relationships. Thank you so much to my spiritual guide Shashi for showing me my own path. And thank you to Victoria for your radiant laughter and positivity, to Alon for your incredible knowledge of traditional yoga and self-respect, and to Edward for sharing the gift of flying. The variety of classes offered was amazing, and the instructors were always open to feedback to cater to our needs. At the yoga retreat, there were two spaces for practice – one with an ocean view and another by the pool with mirrors. They even let me take a mat and blocks to practice on my balcony. The studio was so hot sometimes that I was sweating like I was in a Bikram class, but the big fans helped a lot and I sweated less as I released toxins. Overall, the instruction was top-notch and the location was truly heavenly.

Riding a motorbike on the hilly roads here can be challenging. Just put on a helmet, go slow, and enjoy the views, but don’t forget to keep your eyes on the road too! The beauty of Thailand and the quality of the course exceeded my expectations. The accommodation, surrounded by green gardens with ocean views, was amazing. I found the teachers and staff to be very friendly. Every day, breakfast offered something different and healthy. I suggest waking up early to catch the breathtaking sunrise. In the evenings, we would jump into the sea and practice acro yoga on the beach at sunset. Balancing in sup yoga was tough, but the instructors were very attentive and supportive. We visited a different beach almost every day in our free time, each offering incredible views along the hilly roads. I learned to appreciate waking up at 6 AM for yoga in the beautiful shala overlooking the sea. At night, I could hear the waves and feel the ocean breeze from my bed. The sunset views were truly unbelievable and looked like a painting. The location is conveniently close to many restaurants and shops for souvenirs, fresh coconut drinks, and snacks. There is a 7-Eleven and pharmacy nearby for any necessities. I loved exploring the crazy food market and trying all the delicious and exotic new foods.

I really wished I could have stayed longer in Australia after finishing the course! Eddie and Sashi were amazing teachers who delivered insightful teachings in a relatable way and showed unwavering support to their students. I learned a lot from them that I plan to apply in my daily life.

The island was like a yogi paradise, filled with fantastic activities and interesting people to meet. The food was absolutely delicious and the retreat location was picture-perfect, overlooking the ocean and offering a peaceful and affordable stay. I can’t recommend this course enough!

The difficulty in getting there can be avoided with proper planning, but overall, everything was wonderful. I was initially hesitant to join the class since I am not thin and do not have much yoga experience. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that each class offered easy options for beginners like me and more advanced options for others. I truly appreciated their attention to detail and focus on safety. They not only taught us how to do various yoga poses, including aerial and sup, but also explained the potential risks and benefits involved.

It was clear that they have a lot of experience, as they conduct numerous courses each year. Some of the students who had completed 200 trainings in the past even said that this course was much better and regretted not investing in it sooner. While I may not pursue a career in teaching yoga, I now feel confident enough to instruct my friends and family.

The island, resort, and shala were all stunning. However, I found the resort staff to be bothersome, so I ended up switching to a nearby hotel. The rooms were just as nice and cost the same. I highly recommend staying at High Life Resort or Haad Son Resort at Secret Beach instead.

You guys rocked it with taking care of us in the deluxe room bathrooms. Thank you for being so awesome. I came with a group of people and the school did an amazing job scheduling us for acro, sup, aerial and normal yoga, considering our different levels and interests. The philosophy lectures completely blew my mind and really made me rethink my life and career choices. My job may be fun, but after this experience, it feels a bit shallow in the grand scheme of things. I was impressed by how they incorporated mindfulness into everything, even our beach activities. I now have a whole new outlook on life and feel grateful for all its blessings. A big shout out to the coordinator for being so patient and accommodating with all our requests, and to the instructors for giving us such personalized care.

I’m looking forward to returning next year because the instructors really know their stuff and were a big help. The best part was definitely the SUP Yoga, it pushed us but wasn’t too difficult for anyone. The location is just stunning. The food was delicious, although the restaurant could use a bit of sprucing up. All in all, I had a great time and would recommend it to anyone.
