Ubud, Bali offers a 6-day, 50-hour Art of Adjustments Yoga Teacher Training.

The place, the classes, the teachers, everything was fantastic. I learned a lot about yoga, both in practice and theory. The teachers are always there to answer our questions, they are very available.
However, if you don’t speak any English at all, this training is not for you, you need to have a basic understanding.
Otherwise, I highly recommend this training!!

The Seminar amazed me! I had a one-of-a-kind experience that I will never forget!

I met so many positive people at a beautiful location with incredible food and the best teachers!

Himanshu Bahuguna is an incredible instructor with so much passion for Yoga and teaching! You can feel his passion every second of the training! It was such a gift to be able to train with him in Europe!

Faye Balomenou was fantastic! She supported us throughout the training and motivated us to bring out the best in ourselves! She has great knowledge in Yoga Philosophy and the Yoga Nidra experience I had with her in Palairos seminar was the best ever!

I highly recommend it! Don’t hesitate to book! I’m already excited for the 300h!

Namaste

The place, the teachers, the classes – everything was really awesome.

Both Himanshu and Faye made this journey unforgettable right from the beginning. They took care of everything, from practical aspects to theory, and provided extra support whenever needed.

Spryos, with his absolute passion for anatomy, made it easy and fun to learn and understand. And even after the training, he continued to offer support.

The three teachers together created a truly wholesome training experience. They made sure that you never felt unprepared before or after the training. They had a way of dissolving all your worries.

What’s more, the community you’ll find here is amazing. Everyone has the same goal and supports each other in thriving in our practices. By the end of the training, you’ll be bursting with joy, grateful to have shared this incredible journey with such inspiring people.

Last but not least, the staff here is simply incredible. They are kind, generous, and hardworking, constantly looking out for all of us and making sure our stay is as comfortable as possible.

To sum it up, if you’re interested in yoga, this is an experience you won’t regret.

I suggest that the groups should have different age options. Personally, I wanted to be in a group with people aged 30 and above. This training introduced me to the beautiful world of yoga in an incredible way. The location, a small, family-owned hotel, was chosen wisely and made us feel at home in every possible way. The food was always fresh and delicious, and the staff treated us like family, showing us love and always being helpful. When I needed groceries, a staff member named Stella even took me to a nearby market, which was about a 25-minute walk away.

The training itself was intense, both physically and spiritually. There were times when we all broke down emotionally, but thanks to our amazing instructors, we were able to grow each day. Faye and Ippo, our instructors, were perfect in their own unique ways, with Faye leading incredible alignment classes and Ippo guiding us through exceptional pranayama classes. Despite having less time together, our anatomy instructor Sypros was also exceptional and his passion for anatomy was evident. He motivated us in many ways.

Overall, this experience was truly amazing for me personally. I highly recommend it to anyone who has a love for yoga and is dedicated and willing to invest the time. ???

I was pleasantly surprised by the 200 hour Vinyasa YTT in Paleros. It went above and beyond my expectations. Faye Balomenou, our instructor, has an incredible passion for yoga and she eagerly shares her knowledge with us. Her alignment classes are detailed and precise, showcasing her experience and confidence in teaching and adjusting. The practices were challenging and inspiring. Eleni Chantzara perfectly complements Faye, bringing thoughtful and valuable teachings in Pranayama and various workshops. Her flows are beautiful and she exudes a gentle energy. Spyros Kapitsinos teaches captivating and original anatomy classes, even after long and tiring practices, keeping us engaged. His wealth of knowledge empowers us in our own yoga practice and teaching through a deep understanding of anatomy.

The hotel is situated in a stunning location, just a short walk outside of Paleros town, with its own private beach accessible by a few staircases. If walking isn’t your thing, there is also a pool. Everywhere you look, you’re treated to breathtaking views of the sea and mountains. The atmosphere in the upper and lower Shalas, combined with the scenery, creates the perfect setting for our yoga practice. The hotel staff is friendly, the rooms are clean, and the food is fresh, varied, and delicious. Most dishes have a healthy and vegetarian spin on Greek cuisine, although some might find it a bit heavy. Overall, I highly recommend this experience!

I recommend bringing your own yoga mat or a travel version to put over the existing yoga mats. The training took place in the Earth shala of YogaUnion in Ubud’s rice fields. My accommodation was conveniently located right next to the shala, only 2 meters away. Although there was no pool on-site, we were able to use the pools at other places where some of the other participants stayed.

The restaurant where we had our meals was just a short 3 minute walk away. In the area, there are some great spas and cafes, offering something different each day. Not every meal will satisfy everyone’s taste, but the buffet always has something delicious.

My main teacher, Gourav, is incredibly knowledgeable about yoga, pranayama, and alignment of the asanas. He will prepare you excellently for becoming a yoga teacher. I also want to mention Menik, our amazing anatomy teacher who could answer every single one of our questions and link the anatomy information with yoga poses. And let’s not forget about Laila, our philosophy teacher, who has a really special energy and a soothing voice. She also offers a 50-hour yin yoga teacher training.

We had a mix of different yoga classes like yin, restorative, acro, ashtanga, and nidra, but our main focus was on vinyasa. The classes were more intermediate level, but you’ll learn and get stronger each day.

Our group consisted of 19 lovely participants who made the training enjoyable and incredibly special. I highly recommend it!

The atmosphere, the setting, the kindness, the encouragement to always try and give it your all! Himanshu’s ultra-precise advice will remain valuable, and thanks to everyone for your incredible energy.

Thank you, YogaUnion, for taking me and 11 gals on an unforgettable adventure. This place is truly amazing for learning, growing, and pushing yourself.

Eleni, Ipo, and Spyros created a safe environment that encouraged us to challenge ourselves and go beyond our limits. I absolutely loved how they pushed us to improve and deepen our practice.

The location was excellent, and the facilities and organization were top-notch.

The food was okay, breakfast was delicious, but the other meals were just alright. They weren’t bad, just not amazing 🙂 But everything else? Incredible. The instruction, the course structure, the other students, the staff, the facility, the energy, the learning, the fun, the ceremonies – EVERYTHING was amazing. These three weeks? Life-changing.

I loved everything about YogaUnion and their amazing support team. Whenever other students had an issue, the support team was quick to help. I can’t thank them enough for the life-changing experiences I had with them.

Completing my 200hr and 300hr in vinyasa yoga was incredible, and the 50hr yin TTC was the perfect addition. The teacher was so knowledgeable and inspiring, with a unique energy that made me feel supported and nurtured. Thanks to yoga, I’ve learned so much about life and myself. The Yin TTC allowed me to dive deeper within and find my true self while embracing my authenticity.

I’m already excited for the future trainings that YogaUnion will offer. I can’t wait to continue growing with them. Thank you to YogaUnion, their fantastic teachers, and support team for reminding us about the true meaning of life. Keep up the amazing work, and continue spreading love and kindness in the world!

The Teacher Training really exceeded my expectations. I have to admit, as someone fairly new to Yoga, the tight and packed schedule could be quite challenging at times. But it was amazing to see how I gradually grew in my yoga practice and on a personal level as well. You wouldn’t believe how much more Yoga is than just physical exercise. The Philosophy classes helped me implement the Yogic lifestyle into my daily life off the mat.

The accommodation in the rice fields was absolutely wonderful and clean. It was just a few minutes away from the shala, where students were spread out in different guest houses. And let me tell you, the food at the restaurant was ridiculously delicious. I highly recommend this experience to everyone who wants to dive deeper into Yoga, regardless of whether you plan to become a teacher in the end.

Tanya, our philosophy teacher, had a more holistic approach. She had spent many years in the yoga world around the globe. It was so interesting to listen and learn from her. She brought a good balance to our classes.
Eleni, on the other hand, was a great teacher with a lot of experience and explosive energy. She always gave clear instructions and explained the alignments thoroughly. We all learned a lot from her and her classes were always a fun experience! I will definitely miss having her as a teacher.

The food got a little repetitive, but hey, you can always go out and grab a bite whenever you feel like it.
Man, the philosophy and anatomy teachers at the YTT are absolute rockstars! I adore them. They know their stuff, but sometimes I do wish they were a bit more prepared for the tricky questions people throw at them.
Let me tell you, the people you meet at the YTT are something else. I mean everyone, from the teachers to your fellow “classmates” to the restaurant and accommodation staff. They’re all just amazing.
Gourav was our Vinyasa and alignment teacher, and let me tell you, he’s a gem. He’s so knowledgeable and hilarious. I always looked forward to his classes.
When you’re there, you’ll learn a ton of stuff, and everyone is super supportive and ready to answer all your questions. Seriously, they’ve got your back.
Honestly, it was one of the most heartwarming and beautiful experiences I’ve ever had. There were even moments when I teared up in class (in a good way). I can’t recommend it enough! If I had the chance, I’d do it all over again tomorrow!

It didn’t quite meet my expectations. The course promised us a different yoga teacher, Himansu, but we didn’t receive that. I also signed up to learn other styles of yoga, like Tantra yoga, Yin yoga, and pregnancy yoga, in addition to Ashtanga and Vinyasa. However, except for a one-off class, we weren’t fully educated on these different styles, which made it difficult to teach them in my own practice.

The course focused on the asana and the mind, but it lacked soul and leadership skills. We had a challenging group who were opinionated and sometimes rude. For example, they would fall asleep during lessons, miss class, lie down instead of meditating, and be on their phones. There was no real leader present to address this behavior.

Overall, the course felt like a trial run for a potential 300-hour program. It would have been better if they had informed us of this before we booked and if the price had been lower. Additionally, the accommodation, food, and individual teachers were satisfactory.

Chris brought us to a class at a resort with live music, and it was really cool! He taught in a way that was easy to follow and engage with, and he’s just so fun and laid-back. The food and cafe area at the resort were lovely! The area itself was amazing, surrounded by peaceful rice fields and with two massage places nearby. I stayed in a lovely home stay for my accommodation.

I absolutely didn’t like the philosophy classes and I wasn’t enthralled by the alignment methodology either. I also didn’t like that they advertised a 30-person instructor training and then had two groups of 30 people at the same time. It was overwhelming and I think smaller groups create a different environment. I did enjoy the opportunity to explore another country and the incredible beaches. The quality of the vinyasa classes was excellent but the learning methodology at times left something to be desired. The food was delicious and locally sourced, which I wasn’t expecting; it surprised me but I liked it. What I valued the most was the group of people I met.

YogaUnion gave us the most amazing experience we could have ever imagined. The place is stunning, the food is absolutely delicious, and the teachers… WOW! They shared their deep knowledge with us with so much love, gratitude, and compassion. They always say that YogaUnion is our family now and it truly feels like that! We want to thank Ourania, Eleni, Faye, Ippo, Alex, Gaia, Jonah, Angela, Georgia, and all the staff at Kosta Maria who have been incredibly kind to us. We will be forever grateful.

I really enjoyed the course and my time there, but there are a few small things I’d like to critique. Sometimes it was a bit difficult to leave the hotel, mainly because of the infrastructure in Palairos. The food was good and they accommodated lactose-free/vegan diets, but the labeling and choices were sometimes a bit odd. They just need to practice more and come up with a wider variety of dishes. I wish we had more opportunities to practice our own sequences, but I understand that there wasn’t much time for it with so much to learn in such a short period. I also would have preferred the course to be a few days longer so the teachers could spend less time on exams and more time with our personal flows, but that’s probably not possible in real life (the other 200h courses I researched were even shorter!). Not everything was always well planned and we didn’t always receive information on time, but everything still worked out. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I’m grateful for the knowledge I gained on this yoga journey. The course was intense and I learned a lot, just as I expected. I particularly appreciated the kind staff at Kosta Maria and the beautiful location. My expectations were mostly met: I was hoping for physically challenging training and it definitely delivered! I wanted to learn about yoga from a holistic perspective and there was a good variety of different viewpoints presented. I expected it to be intense and focused, and it was mentally demanding, but I’m happier that I did it in a shorter timeframe rather than spread out over a year. I also appreciated that it wasn’t overly spiritual – they introduced us to the spiritual aspects but didn’t pressure us into practices like chanting, which I found really nice. Overall, I feel humbled and grateful for all the knowledge I gained.

I didn’t really like Gourrav, he was the only instructor that didn’t click with me. He means well and tries hard, but his communication skills are seriously lacking. I’m not sure if he just can’t express himself properly or if something gets lost in translation. But his classes for the Pranayam and vinyassa really got on my nerves because he used the same words over and over again. And it was disappointing when he graded our final practical exams instead of Himanshu because his feedback was terrible and didn’t reflect the actual class at all. He’s just not as good as the other instructors at Yoga Union!

I also didn’t find the workshops on children’s yoga and prenatal yoga very helpful. Itta, the teacher, is a lovely person but not a good instructor. The classes had no structure at all and it felt like she was making things up as she went along. I would have much preferred if we focused more on yogic philosophy since there were sections in our textbook that we never covered. It would have been great to have an ayurvedic clinician come and talk about doshas or yogic diet too.

But overall, I’m really grateful for the experience! The teachers were so passionate, knowledgeable, and engaging. I learned a ton about yogic philosophy, history, and anatomy, as well as proper alignment and teaching techniques. The yoga shala was stunning and despite what others may say, I actually loved the large class sizes. We had two classes happening at the same time and we all ate meals together, so there was always someone new to meet. The group sizes were around 30 and 18. One thing to mention though, the Fire shala had a much nicer space compared to the Earth shala, so I recommend requesting to be in the Fire group. And everyone at YogaUnion was just wonderful to know – the housekeepers, the shala cleaners, the cooks – they were all so thoughtful and kind. Living and practicing in the rice fields was such a beautiful experience. And the food…oh, the food! I’m really going to miss it. They had such a great variety of Indonesian and global dishes, and being vegan, it was perfect for me.

The food at the training could have had more variety. It felt like we were constantly having the same 5 or 6 recipes over and over again. Plus, sometimes the food was too salty or too sweet for my taste. But not everyone felt the same way ? I guess it’s just a matter of personal preference. Before I booked the training, I spent a lot of time reading reviews from former students and I was a bit skeptical. It seemed too good to be true. However, this training completely changed my life. I wasn’t completely sure if I wanted to become a yoga teacher before, but now I can’t imagine doing anything else. Yoga makes me incredibly happy and connected to my true self.

We were so fortunate to have formed such a close-knit group of students, with amazing and kind people. From day one, everyone genuinely cared about each other. We spent three weeks in a loving and supportive environment where we felt safe to fully dedicate ourselves to our practice. I’ve made lifelong friends and I feel incredibly lucky!

Now, let me tell you about the teachers (Rachel and Ippoliti aka Ippo or Ippopo or Chop Chop). They exceeded all expectations and their teachings and personalities will stay with me forever, no doubt. They didn’t just teach us what we needed to know for the exam, but they also shared their experiences as yogis and human beings, inspiring me in countless ways.

Before the training, I had only been introduced to asana and pranayama. However, learning about philosophy, anatomy, and alignment helped me deepen my practice in ways I never thought possible. It’s like there’s an entire ocean of yoga knowledge in front of me, and a lifetime won’t be enough to learn even half of it.

Lastly, I want to express my heartfelt thanks to Kostas and his family, who made this training extra special! Lots of love.

The training is amazing! The teachers are fantastic, they have exceptional skills and a great way of organizing the training. They are always there for us if we need anything. The location is perfect, with a beautiful view of the sea during the courses. The beds are so comfortable and we have air conditioning in the rooms. The hotel staff is like a family, they are so sweet and attentive. And don’t even get me started on the porridge, it’s absolutely incredible. Thank you for everything, this has been the best experience of my life!

Out of the 30 students, including me, 7 of us were staying at a different place than the actual accommodation. This place was a 5-minute car ride or a 20-minute walk away. It didn’t really bother me to stay somewhere else, except for the fact that the daily pickups to the actual accommodation were hardly ever on time. As a result, we sometimes ended up walking and being late for class.

The training was advertised as Vinyasa/Ashtanga, but in my opinion, it was mostly just Vinyasa. However, they did cover almost all styles of yoga, including Yin, Restorative, and Yoga Nidra. Despite this discrepancy, my overall experience at YogaUnion was fantastic. The teachers, Ippoliti, Rachel, and Eleni, were extremely knowledgeable and kind. The classes were informative, and the teachers were always available to answer any questions. The staff at the accommodation were also very kind and attentive. The food they provided was always delicious. They took great care of me when I wasn’t feeling well, adjusting the food for me and checking on my well-being every day.

I absolutely loved the whole experience!

I feel so blessed that I chose this YTT. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect training. It’s still hard to believe that it actually happened.

What I loved the most:
-The location was incredible, with a beautiful shala surrounded by peaceful ricefields. It felt so serene and secluded, yet still conveniently close to Ubud city center for food and shopping.
-The teachers, Fay, Himanshu, and Spyros, were all absolutely amazing. I really appreciated how they pushed us physically during the vinyasa practice. And their sense of humor was a game-changer, helping us remember the most important things. It was intense over the course of 3 weeks, but I had so much fun!
-The organization was spot-on. Everything was clear, and the accommodation and meals were conveniently located near the shala.

I gotta say, both the trainer really brought an amazing energy to our group. They worked with us and pushed us in the best way possible. I gotta admit, I had an absolutely fantastic training experience.

I loved everything! Just wished there were more green vegetables during meal times and maybe a longer break between breakfast and lunch. But I absolutely adored the location and how the amazing staff at YogaUnion made this trip so effortless and allowed me to fully focus on the course.

Everything was amazing. The course structure, lessons, and teachers were beyond my imagination for a better training. The accommodation made us feel at home and they gave us a warm welcome. The food kept us energized throughout, and Elli, Adonis, and Kostas took excellent care of us. I am extremely grateful for all the people I met on my journey to becoming a yoga teacher.

I really liked the teachers, the food, and the group of students.

Some people booked a double room and ended up getting a single room at the end, all for the same price. That’s not fair to the others. Also, the breaks in between the day sometimes felt a bit short on time. But overall, I really liked the program. It was super intense and I haven’t felt this challenged in a long time, but in a really positive way mentally, physically, and socially. The teachers were incredibly patient and accepting of everyone, always pushing us to reach our full potential. I really appreciated and enjoyed that.

I had an absolutely amazing Greek experience with the best group and teachers. Those three weeks were unforgettable as I rapidly grew as a yoga practitioner and future instructor. The alignment classes, philosophy learning, and anatomy studies were great. I feel blessed to be part of the YogaUnionFamily now and I definitely want to do the 300 hours course in Bali at some point.

Thanks to everyone, especially Spyros, Yeni, Tanya, and Faye.

Yoga Union showed their experience in yoga teacher trainings through our Paleros one. We had an amazing curriculum that was well-organized, fantastic teachers, personal feedback, and we started teaching right from the beginning. Not to mention, the location was absolutely incredible. Oh, and if you get the opportunity to work with Fay Balomenou, don’t think twice! She’s hands down the highlight of this teacher training. I’m extremely satisfied with my decision to train here and I’m thrilled to be part of the Yoga Union family now!

Honestly, there wasn’t much that we needed assistance with during our time here. The staff always did their best to help us out and find a solution. It was really great!

I have to say, this yoga teacher training has been one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. Our teachers, Ippoliti and Rachel, were amazing. They were both excellent teachers, and I learned so much about the theoretical and practical sides of Yoga. My meditation practice has improved so much too!

The chef here is seriously the kindest person you’ll ever meet. He always wants to make sure that we enjoy the food he cooks, and let me tell you, we were all SO excited for every meal. The whole group really connected well, and we truly enjoyed each other’s company!

The hotel itself is nice and simple. One of the best parts for me was that some incredible animals came to nap in the garden, which made my stay even better since I love animals.

Palairos is such a beautiful town, and the beach is still relatively untouched. We loved going for a swim there every day after class.

A special shoutout to Ippoliti, who was so helpful and kind. We’re really going to miss you! ❤

I absolutely loved everything about this training! The location took my breath away, the food and accommodation were fantastic, and the teaching was outstanding. The course struck the perfect balance between physical asana practice, meditation, lectures, and alignment classes. The teachers, especially Ippoliti, were incredibly helpful and always there to lend a hand. The group size was just right, and I made lifelong friends with my fellow yoga teachers. Ourania was incredible, bursting with knowledge, and her classes were a blast! The course was so amazing that I actually decided to extend my trip and stay an extra week to complete the 50-hour Yin Teacher Training course, which was equally as magical. I will forever be grateful to YogaUnion and am proud to be part of the YogaUnion family. Oh, and there was a baby kitten at the hostel that was just the cutest thing ever!

The accommodation in Greece didn’t meet our expectations in terms of comfort. We had centipedes and other insects in our room every day because the door didn’t shut properly, leaving a small gap at the bottom. On top of that, there was no washing machine and no closet for us. They didn’t clean the rubbish bin in our bathroom every day as they promised. Instead, it only happened once a week, even though they asked us to throw our used toilet paper inside it. Furthermore, the food they cooked was very repetitive, and sometimes there wasn’t enough for all of us. Despite these issues, the teacher training itself was absolutely amazing! It’s just a shame that the accommodation couldn’t match up.

I loved everything about the experience, except for the food. It could have had more variety. But I understand that cooking for 20 girls with different dietary restrictions must have been challenging. This 3 week intensive course has been the most incredible experience of my life. Everything was absolutely amazing. The village we stayed in was so authentic, and the family who ran the hostel were lovely and always ready to help. The instructors, Fay, Spyros, and Ourania, were not just amazing teachers, but also wonderful human beings who went above and beyond for us. The shala had a magical view, and the yoga and meditation classes and workshops were fantastic. I can’t say enough good things. I’m so grateful I joined the Yoga Union Bali family for this journey, and I’m incredibly excited for what lies ahead. This experience made me feel so connected to life, nature, and the people around me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you did for us. I’ll always hold you and the other 19 amazing girls I met close to my heart. I’m certain our paths will cross again, as positive energy attracts positive people!

The food could’ve had more variety, but it still tasted good. Our shala was really crowded, I wish we could’ve practiced in a bigger space. The whole experience – the location, the activities, and the people I met – changed my life. Nicol was an amazing teacher. I learned so much about my body and the barriers I face. I always looked forward to practicing pranayama and meditation every morning with Kati. She showed me how to understand and love myself more. I enjoyed having a lot of people on the course. It gave me the opportunity to create a worldwide network and see the different levels of strength and flexibility people had, as well as the struggles they faced.

Es gibt viel zu große Klassen auf einem Teacher. Wir ignorieren Probleme. Das Hotel und die Lage.

Me and Nina didn’t have enough anatomy class and our philosophy class was poor. The 108 sun solution is a terrible practice for this course. It broke and exhausted a lot of students, including myself. I really shouldn’t have done it. But our yoga teacher was amazing, he was so positive and knew his subject well. And Jones, our anatomy teacher, was excellent.

The food could be improved. It’s usually the same, but it’s pretty good overall. You’ll learn a lot from practicing and in life.

I had so much fun at Yoga Union! The shala in the rice fields was absolutely beautiful. It felt like I was living in a little smurf village with all the other yogis. The vegan and vegetarian food was delicious and healthy. The teachers there are amazing, I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Namaste!

I absolutely loved the whole experience! The rice fields took my breath away. I couldn’t find a single thing to dislike. The atmosphere was so warm and welcoming, making us feel open, vulnerable, free, and receptive. The kitchen staff worked tirelessly to make sure we had everything we needed, even when some of us fell ill—they would prepare rice and bring it to our accommodations. The classes were amazing. Celine is a warrior goddess with empowering and invigorating flows. The location amidst the rice fields was stunning and allowed our minds to truly be present. I already want to go back, even though I just got home! I would definitely go again and again. Thank you so much for this incredible experience.

The food was spoiled, and around fifteen people got sick.
The last week includes student-led classes for evaluation, but we decided to use the budget to hire qualified yoga teachers and enhance our learning experience.
To get corrected, you need to call the teachers, they don’t come on their own.
I was clearly told that if I didn’t pay by this afternoon, I would have to leave right away!
Be sure to understand English perfectly, even though the website says it’s accessible to everyone!
The graduation ceremony is very minimal. It’s been a beautiful and enriching adventure.
The setting is stunning.
The training is intense.
I’ve made some great connections.
Being able to learn so much about yoga and myself.
The teachers are passionate and qualified.
There’s a free shuttle to town.

Die Gruppe ist vielleicht etwas zu groß, aber insgesamt sind es sehr nette Leute. Das Ambiente ist wirklich wunderschön und die Lehrer sind echt nett und voller Ambitionen.

The food got a bit repetitive after 3 weeks but it was still good. These teachers really know how to bring passion to their work. Thank you so much for that The rice fields surrounding the shala are absolutely stunning!

I’m not picky when it comes to food, but the meals were really not good and they were the same dishes all the time. The food is vegetarian but not healthy.

If you’re not good at English, I strongly advise against signing up for this course. There’s a lot of theory and philosophy that you need to understand for the rest of your training. Personally, I don’t speak English well and I don’t understand it very well either. I tried it out, but it was very difficult because I had to do double the work (translating my textbooks into French).

The yoga classes were amazing with an extraordinary and very professional teacher. I loved practicing with all the teachers who were very humble. It was a unique experience with beautiful encounters.

I recommend arriving two days early to get over jet lag and adjust to the weather before the course starts. It’s also a good idea to stay at least a week after to explore the island/Gili/Nusa Penida. The course is intense, but you get two Sundays off to relax and not rush activities! The teachers were amazing in teaching asana, anatomy, and philosophy. I learned a lot and their passion and care ensured the knowledge will stick. The accommodation at Mansion Resort felt like a dream honeymoon! I splurged on a double room and it was totally worth it. The staff was friendly, the rooms were cleaned daily, and the Shalas where we practiced were beautiful. Just note that you’re not staying in town, but there’s a free shuttle or taxi for £8. You can also rent scooters nearby. The food was good and vegetarian-friendly. If you’re a coffee lover like me, you might want to bring your own supply for the afternoon, but there’s always ice coffee available at the cafe for £3.50.

The food needs more variety because it’s getting repetitive. The philosophy teacher isn’t always clear. However, Nikol, the yoga teacher, is amazing and very experienced. She knows her job really well. I’ve learned a lot from her because she is so knowledgeable. The location is beautiful and the staff is friendly. Spyros, the anatomy teacher, has a great approach to teaching – he explains things in an easy and enjoyable way. I met some lovely people and had a great experience.

Thank you Yoga Union for the amazing experience! I didn’t believe it was possible to learn and grow so much in such a short time, but it’s true. Spyros, Ourania, Himanshu, Celine, and Sirios were so dedicated and brought so much energy and passion to the three weeks. They answered all our questions with enthusiasm and pushed us outside our comfort zones. They never let us give up, thanks Himanshu! Immersing myself in this intense program for three weeks has really changed my perspective and given me a more holistic view of yoga. The teachers’ energy was inspiring and gave me the confidence that I can achieve anything if I set my mind to it!

The food lacked variety and flavor, but we made efforts to improve it towards the end, and there was a noticeable difference in the last week. Our knowledgeable teachers create an immersive and accessible environment that stimulates personal growth and deeper understanding of the yogic way of life.

The schedule is grueling and intense, but it’s not a relaxing retreat. It’s an intensive learning program designed to prepare experienced practitioners to guide yogis through flows and promote a more mindful practice.

I only didn’t like how the food lacked variety sometimes. But overall, Nikol and the other teachers were amazing and knowledgeable, and they provided a well-structured course.

Just a reminder for all students about the etiquette of mat arrangement in the shala, things can get a bit tight at the entrance. Nikol’s Vinyasa classes are super sweaty and fast-paced, but I love them!

I love that The Mansion has the shala and bedrooms all in one place, no stress of commuting involved.

The training really helped me dive deeper into my knowledge of asana and human anatomy, subjects I was always curious about but didn’t know much about.

We got the chance to learn and teach the traditional Sun Salutations, probably my favorite part of the whole experience.

– The outstanding quality and organisation of the yoga teacher training at YogaUnion truly blew me away. The teachers were wonderful and professional, the location in the rice fields was beautiful, and the training materials were top-notch. They really went above and beyond to make sure each individual felt taken care of.

– The training covers everything you need to know and builds your knowledge and confidence to teach yoga. The yoga shala in the rice fields is stunning and the accommodation is excellent, just a short walk away. The restaurant where we had our meals was only 2 minutes away, serving delicious vegetarian (with vegan options) food.

– The teachers are fantastic, professional, and friendly. Overall, the quality of the training is outstanding. This experience was well worth the investment and exceeded all of my expectations. I highly recommend YogaUnion for anyone looking to get certified to teach yoga or deepen their practice.

I loved the area so much. The Shala felt like a dream and the people were amazing. The food was so delicious that I was never hungry; if anything, I ate too much. But I am super happy about the training and highly recommend it.

Food becomes repetitive. The accommodations vary for everyone, which wasn’t clear to me at first. Some people stay in a luxurious mansion resort while others stay in the peaceful rice fields. There’s a wide range of accommodation options. I wish they had focused more on spirituality and ‘self development’ like they mentioned. But, overall, it was an unforgettable experience that transformed me. So, I’d say… these minor issues don’t compare to how amazing it was.

One thing to note is that the group is usually around 30 people. We all became like family. However, if you prefer a smaller, cozier group, this might not be the retreat for you! Personally, I thrive in smaller groups and wish there had been fewer people for more personalized attention. But the team is truly fantastic, which is why so many people flock to this retreat! You won’t regret it. I stayed in the serene rice fields and it provided the perfect backdrop for my yoga teacher training. The training was physically demanding but incredibly fulfilling. It’s hard work, so be prepared for that. The teachers, for the most part, are knowledgeable and caring. They are dedicated to helping you become the best yoga teacher you can be. The food was generally good. Yes, it did become repetitive towards the end, but that’s to be expected. The lovely ladies who prepared the meals were so kind.

I absolutely loved this experience and wouldn’t change a thing, honestly!

I was pleasantly surprised by the views of women and femininity in philosophy. Vegan food didn’t have a tag or anything, but that didn’t bother me. The philosophy lessons were taught very theoretically, which I found somewhat distanced from our reality. I booked this experience not knowing what to expect, but overall, it was very good. At first, I thought I would never be able to do it, but I surprised myself in the end. I think it had to do with the spirit and everything around me. Thank you for helping me grow. Ourania and Spyros are truly magical people with a strong, positive, and loving vibe that you cannot resist. The place has a magical feel with the rice fields and village surroundings, yet it is also close to Ubud’s city center. I really enjoyed my time there!

This adventure completely changed my life. I entered a bubble of positivity and learned how to take care of myself and others. The yoga philosophy was present everywhere, and the team was amazing! I loved every aspect of my YTT journey, and choosing Yoga Union was the best decision. Thank you so much!

The teachers had different teaching styles, but overall they were good. Since I already had a strong physical practice, I felt like the course was aimed more towards beginners. The anatomy and philosophy lessons were also more geared towards those who were new to yoga. The location at Ubud Nirwa Karma was great, with comfortable accommodation. The food was delicious and the shala was impressive. The overall setup of the place was well done. If you’re looking for a self-development trip and are just starting out with yoga, this course would be a fantastic choice.

Every review I’ve read says that the food is repetitive and standard, but honestly, you don’t want too much variety for your body with the physical stress you put it through every day. It was just fine for what my body needed after 2 hours of daily vinyasa. I am so happy I chose this course. I looked at probably thousands in many different countries, and this one by far exceeded my expectations. It was hard. Really hard. They recommend that you read a few books before coming. Read them. They recommend you have a yoga routine before coming. Do it. I did a little bit, but 3 weeks isn’t enough. There’s so much information. But once you accomplish it, it’s so rewarding. The rest of the group I was with were some of the most amazing people I’ve ever met. We became a family, and it was beautiful. You laugh, you cry, I have some bruises… but all worth it. For the super affordable price, it’s so much more than you would think. Nikki was an outstanding instructor. She pushed you enough to see what you are capable of, and you truly surprise yourself. Spyros was the best anatomy instructor. He is so passionate! Thank you Yoga Union!!!

All the instructors have a lot of knowledge and experience. They organized everything well: classes, shala, accommodation, and food. I attended lectures on anatomy, philosophy, and asana labs, which helped me understand yoga more deeply. Now, I feel safer and more confident in my practice. The location, a shala in the rice fields, is simply stunning! If you’re considering taking this course, make sure to savor every moment and the peaceful surroundings.

I loved everything about the training. I wish I could have seen and experienced the main union yoga shala in the ricefields, but being in the mansion resort group, I couldn’t. Also, I believe the closing ceremony is nicer and more authentic there. Sometimes the resort was noisy since our shala was near the pool area, which wasn’t ideal for certain classes, but overall the resort is very nice! The teachers are amazing. They teach you everything you need to know about Asanas, alignment, variation, and the benefits. They care for you and teach with serious love and commitment to yoga. It’s like tough but caring love for all the students. I am grateful to Nikole, our main teacher, for all the effort, patience, and care she put into teaching us. Spiros and Ourania are wonderful too, and they really build a great yoga community here. It’s a lot of information to take in during the 3 weeks, so make sure to rest and clear your mind in between classes to absorb it all again, especially for the exam. The teaching structure starts right away, and you build your flow step by step, teaching each other. It’s an intense physical, mental, and emotional, but amazing experience, and people grow into a yogi family. I will forever be thankful I did this! Namaste.

I wish there had been more protein in the lunch/dinner meals. The philosophy classes could have been more engaging, even though the teacher was inspiring. The asana practice was fantastic, the group was great, and the location was amazing. I have already recommended it to my friends. It exceeded my expectations. The course had a good variety and the length felt perfect.

I had an amazing experience at Yoga Union. The accommodation at The Mansion was so comfortable, and the resort was just beautiful. The course was super informative, and all our teachers really made an effort to teach us as much as possible during our time there. Those daily Vinyasa practices were a game changer – I felt so much stronger and fitter by the end of the retreat. Overall, the whole experience was incredible and I couldn’t have asked for a better course.

The hotel’s spotty wifi doesn’t reflect negatively on YogaUnion, it reflects negatively on the hotel. But there are cute cafes within walking distance where you can grab amazing food and fast wifi if you need it! I really don’t have anything negative to say at all! The team at YogaUnion is wonderful; they are so knowledgeable and make sure all the information is presented in an easy-to-understand and remember way without losing its significance. Nikol, Spyros, and Ourania are truly amazing teachers and human beings. From the moment I arrived at the training, they felt like family. The accommodation was stunning and the daily schedule was busy but perfectly structured so you don’t get burnt out. There was also enough free time to explore the amazing town of Ubud! I’m so happy I chose this YTT. It has been the best gift I have ever given myself. I’m coming away from this training feeling very confident in my abilities as a yoga teacher and also just as a better and more grounded human being in all aspects! The team at YogaUnion has worked so hard to put together an AMAZING course for their students, and it shows! If you’re considering taking your 200hr training with YogaUnion, DEFINITELY DO IT! You will not regret it, I promise.

I struggled to understand the instructor. Classes ended early, so we had free time instead of longer classroom or yoga sessions. The anatomy lessons were great – they explained difficult concepts in simple English with visuals. I really appreciated how we reviewed the technical details of the morning class (like which meridians) right after.

I loved staying in the rice fields during my yoga teacher training! However, some of us, including me, didn’t know we had the option to stay in the rice fields or at the mansion until we arrived and the groups were already split. I suggest that they inform us of our choices when booking to keep everyone happy. Despite this, I was happy with my stay, but preferences may vary.

Deciding to come for a yoga teacher training in Bali was the best choice I’ve made. If you’re still on the fence, I say go for it! The energy in Bali is magical and, combined with incredible teachers like Ourania and Himanshu, and the amazing people you’ll meet, the experience becomes truly transformative. It’s a peaceful place where you can be yourself surrounded by supportive people.

The training is challenging both physically and emotionally, but the supportive group will help you through it. Regardless of your reasons for attending, you will grow and improve. While your troubles won’t vanish overnight, with practice and dedication, you will see progress. YogaUnion in Ubud is the perfect place to start your journey.

To my September course group mates, I am grateful for meeting you all. You’ve helped me grow and believe in myself, and I hope I’ve done the same for you. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. And to our wonderful teachers – THANK YOU for sharing your wisdom with us!

It was a bit stressful because we learned a lot in a very short time, which was amazing. The yoga practice had a perfect schedule with amazing different teachers and workshops. They taught a very clear vinyasa style, and the accommodation at the Mansion was amazing.

I suggest revising the training book to correct mistakes and add missing postures. Everything else is perfect. The Ricefield Yoga Shala is like a dream, with unique details surrounding it. I highly recommend Yoga Union’s classes in Bali, especially the ricefield group. The remote location away from busy Ubud, the sounds of nature, and the pathway to the beautiful shala all make it a magical experience. The hotel options around the pathway made us feel like neighbors in a little village. My hotel, Nirwa Ubud Karma, was very comfortable.

The owners of Yoga Union, Ourania and Spyros, are the cutest couple and embody love. Their love for each other and their students was felt throughout the intense training. The whole crew, including Himanshu, Jonas, Saavas, Juan Carlos, Florence, and the help of Pablo, were professional and competent. I’m grateful for choosing this training to learn how to teach and spread Yoga. Thank you to the teachers and students of the August session for making it such a beautiful and unforgettable experience.

The Yoga teacher training at YogaUnion was an unforgettable experience. At first, I wasn’t sure if I should do a Yoga training at all. However, the three weeks spent with my fellow Yogis, the teachers, and the magic of Bali proved to me that it was the right decision. So, if you’re reading this and still debating whether to book a retreat or not, just do it!

The teachers at YogaUnion were all excellent! We had a great variety of personalities and teaching styles, so there was something for everyone to learn from. I always felt like I was in a safe space. The teachers were professional, experienced, patient, and showed a great understanding for us students. I particularly enjoyed the challenging Vinyasa classes with Savvas and the engaging anatomy lessons with Jonas – he made the topic so interesting that I actually want to study more about the physical body in the future.

The teachers struggled to give individual feedback as we were part of a large group of 40 people. However, I anticipated a big group during high season in August, and the spacious Shala could easily accommodate us all. The experience was incredible. I think about the beautiful Shala in the ricefields and the wonderful teachers every day. I am happy with my decision to choose this Training and would do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you to all the teachers and organizers for making this experience possible and giving it your all!

If you’re seeking a once in a lifetime experience, then this program is perfect for you. Whether you want to become a Yoga teacher or simply improve your practice and life, I highly recommend this training! I was physically, mentally, and emotionally challenged in the most beautiful ways. I pushed myself past limits, laughed, cried, and felt overwhelming gratitude for being in Bali among the rice fields, practicing in a stunning shala with a group of inspiring yogis from around the world. The amazing teachers shared their knowledge and wisdom with us, and I felt incredibly blessed. The information I learned is something I’ll always carry with me, both for my personal practice and as a Yoga teacher. The cafe where we ate our daily meals was fantastic, with attentive and kind staff who worked hard to provide delicious vegan (and gluten-free) options. The hotel I stayed at (Restu) was good, and any small issues I had were quickly resolved. This whole experience was truly incredible, and I can’t praise it enough. I’ll cherish this journey in my heart forever, and can’t wait to return to Ubud.

I wished for more fruit at lunch and dinner. I would have liked smaller groups for the final lessons to make it less exhausting. The accommodations varied in quality, some had water and kettles while others did not. The shala in the rice fields was incredible! Ourania, Spyros, and the team were so welcoming and made us feel like family. The instructors were top-notch, catering to all skill levels. I gained so much confidence in my teaching abilities within a week of completing the course. Walks to the shala were memorable, with many days spent barefoot. The meals were filling, and the ginger lemongrass tea was a nice touch. The balance between classes and downtime was perfect. Make sure to pace yourself and don’t hesitate to take breaks when needed.

I was blown away by how much the training surpassed my expectations. The location is unreal, the teachers are all so amazing and experts in their fields, and incredibly generous, and the food was just delicious. I highly recommend it and I would definitely do it again…and again!

We had a large group, so we didn’t get much personal critique on our teaching or practice, but it wasn’t a big deal. The energy from the group was awesome and it was cool to meet people from all over. Plus, more students meant more learning opportunities. The Shala’s location in the rice fields was just stunning. Being surrounded by nature in Ubud was magical and away from the chaos of the town center.

The teachers were top-notch and each had their own style which was fun. They made everyone feel welcome and safe. The variety of yoga styles and workshops kept things interesting. The course really prepared us to teach and I got to work on my practice too.

Anatomy and philosophy lessons were taught well and gave a different perspective on yoga. The food at the nearby restaurant was surprisingly good with lots of options for different diets. The staff even listened to our suggestions and accommodated dietary needs.

Overall, my experience at YogaUnion was amazing and I’m so grateful for the rich experience.

The food sometimes lacks creativity but hey, we’re not nitpicking! Clear explanation, challenge, kindness, understanding, achievable expectations. Everything exceeded my expectations

Our group was pretty large because of the time of year. Sometimes it was challenging during meals and when there was only one teacher in the shala, but they managed to involve everyone well.

The arrival experience felt a bit disorganised and could have used clearer instructions to make things smoother and less stressful. However, the course itself was fantastic. Each teacher was authentic and brought a unique teaching style and perspective. Their passion for yoga and the yogic lifestyle was truly inspiring.

This course came at the perfect time in my life and the whole experience was even more enriching than I had expected.

We only had tofu and rice every day. I wish there was a little more spirituality and philosophy. The teachers were very experienced and provided high quality teacher training. I loved it! They were very knowledgeable and I learned so much in a very short time. It was an experience I will always cherish. Ubud is the most beautiful place. I will definitely recommend it to everyone.

I was disappointed when the school had to change the location due to circumstances beyond their control. I was really looking forward to being in Ubud and staying in the rice fields, but we ended up at the Mansion hotel instead. Don’t get me wrong, the hotel was beautiful and the staff treated us well, but I was hoping for more nature and yoga.

On the bright side, I did get to see Yoga Union’s shala and it was breathtaking! It was the most beautiful shala I have ever seen, surrounded by the rice fields. The teachers were fantastic and the whole experience helped me on my journey to becoming a yoga teacher. The classes were interactive and fun, and I learned something new every day. The teachers were attentive and made sure we were all doing well throughout the course.

I also met some incredible people who I hope will be lifelong friends. I would love to return to Yoga Union one day. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking to become a yoga teacher. It was an amazing experience that I will never forget.

The food might have been a bit repetitive, but it was still delicious. That’s the only fault I could find! I loved everything else about it. The course helped me grow mentally, physically, and spiritually. The teachers were incredible and supportive, and they will continue to be in the future. The amount of anatomy we covered made me feel really confident in my teaching moving forward. Overall, I couldn’t find any faults with it at all.

I absolutely loved every minute of the Yoga Teacher Training! Thank you to Ourania, Spyros, Sarah, and Magda for such an amazing experience. I didn’t want it to end and go back home. It was the best experience of my life. I wish I could do it all over again. Every meditation, vinyasa, yin class, workshop, alignment, anatomy, and philosophy session was fantastic. It was a tough journey, but worth every minute. Trusting my intuition and booking with YogaUnion was the best decision I ever made.

Maybe I’ll try diversifying the food over the three weeks. But I can’t say I didn’t like it. It’s just that it could have been even better! Their skills, knowledge, and the way they share them with us. Their availability. It’s a magical place.

The food could have had more flavor. I enjoyed breakfast, but lunch and dinner were lacking in taste. However, there are plenty of affordable options around for getting more variety in your diet during the 3 weeks.

The teachers, who were wonderfully gifted and always eager to share their knowledge, the idyllic location of the yoga shala in the middle of the rice fields, and the positive vibe of the group and everyone involved made this training a great experience.

Everything was great, maybe just some room for improvement with the food. I wish the food had more love in the preparation, variety, and local dishes.

I am grateful for this wonderful experience. I recommend this teacher training to anyone open to engaging in an enriching experience that deepens personal yogic practice and initiates personal growth in a wonderful way, gaining insights in the process. Thank you to the three wonderful teachers who accompanied us with love and care throughout these three weeks.

I absolutely loved everything! I wish I could stay longer.

Thank you for giving me this amazing experience. I highly recommend this training – the teachers are excellent with tons of experience, the surroundings are beautiful, and the people are so nice. Everything was organized really well too. Hopefully, we’ll see each other again soon!

I had to say goodbye to all the beautiful people I met, which was hard because I loved everything about the training, especially the teachers and our group. We created a unique energy that made it really tough to part ways.

The teachers are all passionate about sharing their knowledge and love of yoga, which made the challenging practice and program feel supported. By the end of training, I felt more confident in myself and my ability to teach yoga to others.

All our classes took place in a shala overlooking rice fields, creating the perfect environment for practicing and learning.

I never want it to end! What a transformative experience! The best, kindest, and most caring teachers guided me every step of the way. They laughed, cried, and supported me beyond my wildest dreams. Staying here was amazing, especially with the wonderful host Anna! But the best part was the incredible people I met, who are now lifelong friends. We’re even running a wellness business together now! Working with people I adore doing what I love is truly the greatest blessing. Thank you Yoga Union and everyone involved for all the love and memories. Much love to you all. xx

The teachers at Yoga Union were super nice and helped us with everything we needed. The location, in the rice fields of Ubud, was just beautiful, and the course was intense but amazing. I can totally recommend Yoga Union and will probably come back next year for the 300 hrs YTT.

Thanks to the Yoga Union family for an amazing time in Bali and for sharing all your knowledge with us!

I hated that it had to end…and those giant critters were hilarious
Get ready with lots of bug repellent & white tiger balm since some accommodations are open & airy. My experience was amazing – it totally blew my expectations out of the water. Just put in the work, participate, and give your best in the yoga course – your practice and your life will change, guaranteed. The instructors are super organized, the classes are engaging and informative, and the variety of classes was great. They really took care of us well and I was able to focus all my energy on myself. I definitely recommend Ourania, Spyros, Sarah & Jac – each of them has their own special talents and really invest in their students. Don’t wait, just go for it!

The food wasn’t great, but I really enjoyed how thorough the course was. I feel ready to teach and improve my yoga practice 🙂

I didn’t like the location of the accommodation as much. The house was extremely secluded (not by the beach and no notable view), there weren’t any public transportation options, no shop for hygiene products, and the beach wasn’t within walking distance. If we hadn’t rented a car, we wouldn’t have seen anything of the beautiful peninsula. Also, my room was in the same house as the yoga classes, dining area, and common room. Personally, this wasn’t ideal for me because it was always relatively noisy and I couldn’t find a quiet place to retreat to. I spent the whole day going up and down the stairs in the same house. The yoga classes were top-notch professional – the teachers were all very passionate and knowledgeable. I learned a lot in a relatively short amount of time and I am really happy.

I found it a bit tough living in the same house as three other girls during the courses. At first, it was fine, but as time went on, the schedule got busier and I got less sleep. I really needed every break we had to rest or study, but the house was always full of people until late at night. It was hard to find peace and quiet to relax. Being cooped up in the same place for everything – learning, courses, meals, sleeping – felt a bit suffocating. The upside was that we rented a car to escape to the beach or town during breaks, which was a nice change. The food gave me some stomach troubles after a couple of weeks, but I just ate out occasionally to mix things up. Overall, the housing situation was my only gripe and I’d suggest a different setup for future retreats. Other than that, it was a fantastic experience. The yoga teachers were passionate, skilled, and dedicated – it exceeded my expectations. I learned a lot, enjoyed the company of the people I met, explored beautiful places, and grew as a person. I highly recommend the experience. The teachers were top-notch and I appreciated learning from a variety of experienced practitioners. The anatomy and philosophy lessons were engaging and the surroundings were stunning. I made some great connections and the house we stayed in was lovely. It was a really positive experience overall.

The place was a bit far from the shops and beaches. Great atmosphere, great program with super friendly people.

I didn’t like that it had to end. I loved the atmosphere and the amazing instructors. Their valuable teachings were great. The hospitable and comfortable accommodations were wonderful, and I loved that it was all fueled by a wonderfully clean and pure diet.

We had a great experience on the entire trip. The instructors were excellent and the group was wonderful.

We had a perfect day with amazing food and of course, Bali is paradise. But what really stood out was the incredible instruction from Koralia and Ourenia – they are both beyond amazing.

I have no negatives at all! If I could wish for anything, I would want all the participants to stay in one place, but that wasn’t even an issue because we got to explore all those amazing places in the rice fields. What I adored about this teacher training is that:
a. It helps you grow as a person both practically and spiritually, opening your eyes to yourself and prompting deep reflection.
b. It places a strong emphasis on teaching, giving you hands-on experience from the very start and boosting your confidence by the end.
c. The location, the people, the food, and the teachers all combined to create a magical experience that just makes you smile every day.

I gained a lot of new knowledge and I feel like my body has been reborn.

The disorganization was my main problem. We never knew where we were supposed to be the next morning and would wander around until we found our teachers. I didn’t like the lack of a plan in advance, only finding out a few days ahead. I understand the teachers wanted flexibility, but having a plan would’ve helped us prepare and not feel stressed.

I never got the Shatkarma kit that was promised and had to ask for the included massage. They didn’t mention these things from the start.

I think they need to hire an admin person so the teachers can focus on teaching. They were knowledgeable and shared personal experiences to help us learn. Ourania and Koralia had different teaching styles, which was helpful. We got feedback and started teaching early on, which was nerve-wracking but beneficial.

The location in Ubud was beautiful, with great views. The accommodation was basic but comfortable. The WiFi at Gusti Garden was better than Prashanti, and the owner was helpful. We stayed at different guest houses along Sok Wayah.

The food at Prashanti was tasty, but not sure if I’d call it fully macrobiotic. It was vegan Indonesian style.

I had a fantastic time with supportive, like-minded students who I now consider friends.

The structure and organization of the program need serious improvement. I think having an assistant would have been very helpful. They didn’t handle things properly, which made a lot of students upset. When we were asked for feedback, the teachers got defensive and ignored our input.

The website said there was a maximum of 15 students, but there were actually 35 of us. They told us it didn’t matter, but I beg to differ. I felt like I didn’t get enough guidance or support, and often felt overlooked. It seemed like certain students got all the attention.

I was promised one accommodation but ended up in a much worse one that cost the same. My room had mold issues, which left me with a sore throat and runny nose throughout the training. My luggage even got covered in mold. I tried to speak up, but felt like no one cared.

The studio where we practiced was gorgeous and I learned a lot. I appreciated being introduced to different types of yoga, but I wish there was more explanation. The teachers were knowledgeable but not very organized. Despite the challenges, I did meet some amazing women.

Great instructions from Ourania! She is amazing, and over 15 people love her.

The accommodation didn’t meet our expectations…the bathroom was pretty musty and damp, and there were no drinking water facilities.

Overall, everything was very nice, just little things. Sometimes, because of the large size of the class, we were spread between different venues, which created confusion at times. A few things could have gone more smoothly, but it was their first time organizing in Bali. Both the teachers were amazing…incredibly strong women, each with unique qualities. It was awesome to have them as mentors.

I loved the long meditation. It was an awesome personal experience. The feedback was great, and it gave me good insight into yoga teaching and yoga as a lifestyle and life choice.

We could have organized several things a bit better, but hey, we’re all human and make mistakes. I was in paradise at the place, it was so beautiful and green. The teachers were awesome, very helpful and understanding.

They advertised 15 people, but we were actually 33, so it’s a misleading advertisement. The instructors didn’t seem open to feedback. The anatomy classes and course material were disorganized – they didn’t include the anatomy book we needed on the list, so we had to pay extra to get it printed on A4 papers if we wanted it. The Vinyasa morning classes were amazing! The location is stunning, right in the middle of the rice fields! Coralia’s adjustments were always spot on!
