Bali offers a 6-day, 50-hour yoga teacher training that focuses on hands-on adjustments and developing teaching skills.

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

The Seminar was amazing! I will never forget this unique experience!

I met so many positive people, enjoyed a beautiful location, amazing food, and had the best teachers!

Himanshu Bahuguna is a GREAT instructor with so much passion for Yoga and teaching! You can feel it every second of the training. It was a gift to train with him in Europe!

Faye Balomenou was amazing! She supported us throughout the training, motivating us to bring out the best in ourselves. Her knowledge in Yoga Philosophy was great, and I had the BEST Yoga Nidra experience ever at the Palairos seminar with Faye!

I 100% recommend it! Do not hesitate to book it! I am already looking forward to the 300h!

Namaste

The way they taught The Anatomy was all over the place and didn’t really connect well with the yoga poses. They should have discussed that more. Plus, it would have been better if we did the exam right after the lecture for better training. Himanshu did a great job teaching Pranayama, Flow, and alignment.

The place, the teachers, the classes- everything was really great.

I suggest that the groups have different age options. I preferred a group with people aged 30 and above. This training introduced me to yoga in all its beautiful ways. The location, a small family-owned hotel, was a perfect choice. We felt at home in every way. The food was fresh and delicious, and the staff treated us like family, always showing us love. Everyone was extremely helpful. When I needed groceries, a staff member named Stella even took me to the market, which was about a 25-minute walk away.

The training was intense both physically and spiritually, and there were moments when we all broke down emotionally. Thankfully, our amazing instructors supported us every step of the way, helping us grow each day. Faye and Ippo, our instructors, were perfect in their own unique ways. Faye’s alignment classes and Ippo’s pranayama classes were truly one of a kind. Though we had less time with our anatomy instructor Sypros, he was also an incredible person with a passion for anatomy that was truly inspiring.

Overall, this was an incredible experience for me personally. I highly recommend it to anyone who has a love for yoga and the dedication and time to commit to it.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I got out of this 200 hour Vinyasa YTT in Paleros. Faye Balomenou teaches with a contagious passion for yoga and she shares all her knowledge with us. Her alignment classes are detailed and precise, showing her experience and confidence as a teacher. The practices were intense and really pushed us to do our best. Eleni Chantzara’s teachings on Pranayama and other workshops were thoughtful and valuable, complementing Faye’s style perfectly. She brings a gentle energy to the practice. Spyros Kapitsinos’ anatomy classes were fascinating and kept us engaged, even after long days. He really knows his stuff and helps us understand how our anatomy relates to our yoga practice. The hotel is situated in a stunning location just a short walk from Paleros town, with its own private beach and a pool. The views of the sea and mountains are breathtaking, adding to the great atmosphere of the Shala’s for practicing. The hotel staff is friendly, the rooms are clean, and the food is fresh and tasty (though some dishes may be a bit heavy for some). Overall, I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to deepen their yoga practice!

I recommend bringing your own yoga mat or a travel version to use on top of the existing mats. The training took place in the Earth shala of YogaUnion in the rice fields of Ubud. My accommodation was right next to the shala (just 2 meters away). There wasn’t a pool on site, but you could use the pools at other places where some of the other participants stayed.

The restaurant where we ate for every meal was just a 3 minute walk away. There are some great spas and cafes in the area, with something different to try each day. Not every meal may suit everyone’s taste, but there will always be something in the buffet that you’ll enjoy.

My main teacher, Gourav, is incredibly knowledgeable about yoga, pranayama, and aligning the asanas. He will prepare you well for becoming a yoga teacher. Menik, our anatomy teacher, deserves a special mention for being an amazing teacher who could answer all of our questions and connect anatomy with yoga poses.

Laila, our philosophy teacher, has a unique energy and a soothing voice. She also offers a 50-hour yin yoga teacher training. We had a variety of yoga classes like yin, restorative, acro, ashtanga, nidra, but focused mainly on vinyasa. The classes were intermediate level, but you’ll learn and progress each day.

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

The atmosphere, the setting, the kindness, the encouragement to always try and give it your all! Himanshu’s super detailed 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 great for learning, growing, and pushing yourself.

Eleni, Ipo, and Spyros created a safe environment that encouraged us to reach new limits. I loved how they pushed us to improve and deepen our practice.

The location, facilities, and organization were top-notch.

The food was decent, with breakfast being delicious but the other meals were just okay, not bad, just not amazing 🙂 Everything at the course was incredible. The instruction, structure, students, staff, facility, energy, learning, fun, and ceremonies were all top-notch. These three weeks truly changed my life.

I loved everything about YogaUnion and whenever other students had an issue, the support team was quick to help. Thank you!

I can’t thank YogaUnion enough for the life-changing experiences I had. Completing the 200hr and 300hr vinyasa yoga trainings was amazing, and the 50hr yin TTC was the perfect final touch.

The teacher was so knowledgeable and inspiring, and their unique energy really helped me feel supported and nurtured. Yoga has taught me so much about life and myself. The Yin TTC allowed me to go deeper within and find my true self while embracing authenticity.

I can’t wait for the next trainings YogaUnion will offer. Thank you to the amazing teachers and support team for all you do. Keep spreading love and kindness!

The Teacher Training surpassed my expectations. Being fairly new to Yoga, I have to admit, 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 also on a personal level. I found that Yoga is so much more than physical exercise as I started to implement the Yogic lifestyle in my daily life off the mat through our Philosophy classes. My accommodation in the rice fields was wonderful and clean, just a few minutes from the shala where students were spread out in guest houses among the rice fields. The food provided at the restaurant was incredibly delicious. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to delve deeper into Yoga, even if you don’t plan to become a teacher at the end of the journey.

Tanya, our philosophy teacher, brought a holistic approach to her teachings and had years of experience in the yoga world all around the globe. It was fascinating to listen and learn from her. She struck a good balance in her classes.

Eleni, with her great teaching skills and abundance of energy, had years of experience and a clear way of explaining alignments. We all learned a lot from her and her classes were always enjoyable! I will definitely miss having her as a teacher.

The food was starting to get boring, but you can always head out for a meal when you want something different.

I adore the philosophy and anatomy teachers! They are so knowledgeable, but I think they could be a bit more prepared for the questions people might ask.

The people you meet at YTT are incredible, from the teachers to your fellow classmates and the staff at the restaurant and accommodations.

Our Vinyasa and alignment teacher was Gourav, who is not only funny but also very knowledgeable. Attending his classes was always a pleasure.

You’ll learn a lot and everyone is willing to help and answer your questions.

The experience was one of the most heartwarming and beautiful I’ve ever had. There were even some tears (the good kind) in some classes. I highly recommend it! I would do it again tomorrow if I could!

The course didn’t meet my expectations. We were promised a different yoga teacher, including Himanshu, but we didn’t get it. I signed up for various styles like Ashtanga and Vinyasa, but didn’t receive instruction on Tantra yoga, Yin yoga, pregnancy yoga, except for a one-time class. We weren’t fully educated on the different styles to teach in our own practice. The course focused on asana and the mind but lacked soul and leadership skills. We had a tough group that was opinionated and rude at times, with people falling asleep, using phones during class, and lacking focus. There wasn’t a real leader to control this behavior. It seemed like a trial course for a potential 300-hour certification. I would have appreciated knowing this before booking and if the price was lower. The accommodation, food, and teachers were satisfactory.

Chris led us to a cool outdoor class at a resort with live music. He taught in a way that was easy to follow and engage with, and he’s just super fun and chilled. The food and cafe area were lovely! The surroundings were great, with the calming rice fields and two massage places nearby. My accommodation, a homestay, was lovely.

I didn’t like philosophy classes at all and I wasn’t thrilled about the alignment methodology either. I also didn’t like that they sold a course for 30 people and then ended up with 2 groups of 30 people at the same time. It was overwhelming and I think smaller groups create a different atmosphere. I liked the opportunity to visit another country and the amazing beaches. The quality of the vinyasa classes was excellent but the learning methodology left something to be desired at times. The food was delicious and local, which I wasn’t expecting; it surprised me but I liked it. What I loved the most was the group of people.

YogaUnion gave us the best experience we could ever imagine. The place is beautiful, the food is absolutely delicious, and the teachers… WOW! They shared their deep knowledge with love, gratitude, and compassion. They say YogaUnion is now our family, and it truly feels like it! Thanks to Ourania, Eleni, Faye, Ippo, Alex, Gaia, Jonah, Angela, Georgia, and all the staff at Kosta Maria for being so kind. We are forever grateful.

I have a few small critiques about the course, but overall I really liked it and my time there. Sometimes it was a bit difficult to leave the hotel, but that’s 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 strange, so they just need to practice more and offer a greater variety of dishes. I would have liked to practice our own sequences more, but I understand there wasn’t much time for it since we had so much to learn in such a short time. I wish the course was a few days longer and that the teachers spent less time on exams and more time on our personal flows, but probably not possible in real life (the other 200h courses I looked at were even shorter!). Not everything was well-planned and we didn’t always receive information or received it late, but everything ended up working out. Thanks for a wonderful experience! I was thrilled to begin this yoga journey. The course was intense and I learned a lot, just as I expected. I adored the friendly staff at Kosta Maria and the stunning location. I had many expectations that were met:
– I hoped for physically demanding training > it definitely was!
– I wanted to learn a holistic view of yoga > there was a good mix of perspectives on yoga.
– I expected intensity/focus > it was quite mentally challenging, but I’m glad I did it rather than the year-long 200h course.
– I didn’t want it to be too spiritual > they introduced us to the spiritual world but didn’t push us into it, like chanting, which was really nice.
– I wanted to understand myself better > and I really do! I’m incredibly grateful for all the knowledge I’ve gained.

I didn’t like Gourrav, he was the only instructor that rubbed me the wrong way. He tries hard and means well, but his communication skills are seriously lacking. I don’t know if he’s just not a good talker or his thoughts get lost in translation. His Pranayam and Vinyassa classes drove me crazy with his repetitive vocabulary. It was disappointing when he graded our final exams instead of Himanshu, his feedback was way off the mark. He’s just not on the same level as the other instructors at Yoga Union!

The workshops on children’s yoga and prenatal yoga with Itta were not very helpful. She’s a nice person, but not a great teacher. The classes had no structure and felt scattered. I would’ve rather learned about yogic philosophy or had an ayurvedic clinician come in to talk about doshas or yogic dietrics.

Despite that, I’m grateful for the experience! The teachers were passionate, knowledgeable, and engaging. I learned a ton about yogic philosophy, history, anatomy, alignment, and teaching structure. The shala was gorgeous, and I loved the big class sizes. Eating meals together was a great way to meet new people. If you can, ask to be put in the Fire group for the prettier space.

Everyone at YogaUnion was so kind – the housekeepers, cleaners, and cooks were all thoughtful and generous. The rice fields were a stunning backdrop for our practice. And the food… oh, the food! A perfect mix of Indonesian and global dishes that made this vegan incredibly happy.

The food could’ve used more variety. It started feeling like we were eating the same 5 or 6 recipes over and over. And sometimes, the food was just too salty or too sweet for my taste. But hey, not everyone felt the same way I guess it’s all just a matter of preference. Before signing up for the training, I spent a lot of time reading reviews from past students and I was pretty skeptical. It all sounded too good to be true. But let me tell you, this training was truly life-changing. I wasn’t even sure if I wanted to be a yoga teacher before, but now I can’t imagine doing anything else. Yoga just fills my heart with joy and keeps me connected to my true self like nothing else can. We were so fortunate to have such an amazing group of students who truly cared for each other right from the start. The three weeks we spent together were full of love and support, creating a safe space for all of us to really dive deep into our practice. I’ve made lifelong friends and I feel incredibly grateful for that. And let’s talk about the teachers – Rachel and Ippoliti, aka Ippo or Ippopo or Chop Chop – they were absolutely incredible. Their teachings and personalities will stay with me forever. They didn’t just give us the knowledge we needed for the exam, they also shared their wisdom as yogis and as human beings, inspiring me in so many ways. Before this training, I only really knew about asanas and pranayama. But diving into philosophy, anatomy, and alignment has taken my practice to a whole new level. I feel like I have a vast ocean of yoga knowledge ahead of me, and a lifetime wouldn’t be enough to learn it all. A big thank you to Kostas and his family for making this training extra special! Love and gratitude to all.

I didn’t enjoy the training, mainly because of the people in my group. A lot of them were judgmental and close-minded, only seeing yoga as a workout and ignoring the spiritual aspect. They formed little groups and gossiped a lot. I wish we had been more accepting and treated everyone equally. I was able to tune out the negativity, but it was tough. Also, the Fire group had too many people – over 30 in one group! The same loud people were always asking questions, making it hard for quieter folks to participate. The vegan food left me hungry, lacking in protein. Some meals had no protein at all! The teachers and the training were great, but we only learned how to plan 30-minute lessons. We have to figure out 1-hour lessons on our own time.

7 out of 30 students, including myself, stayed at a different place rather than the actual accommodation. It was a 5-minute drive or a 20-minute walk away. I didn’t mind staying elsewhere, but it was frustrating when our daily pickups to the main accommodation were often late, causing us to be tardy for class.

The program was marketed as Vinyasa/Ashtanga training, but I felt it focused mainly on Vinyasa. However, they did incorporate various styles like Yin, Restorative, and Yoga Nidra. Overall, my time at YogaUnion was fantastic. The teachers – Ippoliti, Rachel, and Eleni – were incredibly knowledgeable and kind. The classes were informative, and the teachers were always available for questions.

The accommodation staff were also caring and kind. The food they served was always delicious. When I wasn’t feeling well, they took special care of me, adjusted the meals for me, and checked on my well-being daily.

I loved the whole experience.

I feel so fortunate to have chosen this YTT. I couldn’t have asked for a better training. It’s still hard to believe it actually happened.

What I loved the most:
-The location: a stunning shala surrounded by peaceful ricefields, secluded yet close to Ubud for great food and shopping
-The teachers: Fay, Himanshu, and Spyros are all fantastic. They really pushed us in our vinyasa practice and their sense of humor was key in helping us remember everything. It was a lot to take in over 3 weeks but I had a blast!
-The organization: flawless. Everything was clear and the accommodation/meals were conveniently close to the shala.

We had an amazing training experience thanks to the trainer who really brought great energy to our sessions. They worked with us and pushed us in the best way possible.

I loved everything, but I wish there were more green vegetables at mealtimes. And maybe a longer break between breakfast and lunch! The staff at YogaUnion made this trip super easy and seamless, so I could focus all my energy on the course.

The Indoor Shala might have felt a bit crowded with more than 13 people, but other than that, I have nothing to complain about. Everything was perfectly planned and everyone gave their best. Big thanks to YogaUnion for putting together such an amazing course! The whole experience was flawless. There were plenty of people taking care of us, making sure we had the best time possible. Faye and Leila are fantastic teachers who pushed us to our limits while always being there to help when needed. Jonas’ Anatomy classes were excellent too! The atmosphere was friendly, the fresh and tasty food had a great variety, and the Hostel was beautiful and just a short walk from the stunning sea. With a group of 13, I’m positive that everyone had a fantastic time and learned a lot. I didn’t have high expectations coming to Greece, but if I did, they were completely exceeded.

The amazing yoga teachers were always supportive and informative. The intense schedule, like any yoga training, was rewarding at the same time. I would absolutely recommend this training.

Some people were given a single room instead of the booked double room at the same price, which is not fair for the others. And sometimes the breaks in between the day were a bit short on time. I absolutely loved the program – it was super intense and I haven’t felt this challenged in a long time, in such a positive mental, physical, and interpersonal way. The teachers were incredibly patient and accepting with everyone, always pushing us to reach our fullest potential, which I truly appreciated and enjoyed.

The Greek experience with the best group and teachers was absolutely amazing. I will never forget the 3 weeks of rapid growth as a yoga practitioner and future instructor. We had great alignment classes, deep philosophy learning, and exciting anatomy studies. I feel blessed to be part of YogaUnionFamily now and definitely plan on doing the 300 hours course in Bali at some point. Big thank you to everyone, including Spyros, Yeni, Tanya, and Faye.

Yoga Union showed their experience with yoga teacher trainings in our Paleros one. They offered a structured curriculum, amazing teachers, personalized feedback, teaching right from the start, and a fantastic location. And let me tell you, if you get the opportunity to work with Fay Balomenou, don’t think twice! Working with her was definitely the highlight of this training!

I’m thrilled with my decision to train here and thrilled to now be a part of the Yoga Union family!

Honestly, not much! Whenever we needed help, the staff always did their best to find a solution for us 🙂

This yoga teacher training was truly one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. Our teachers, Ippoliti and Rachel, were amazing. They both taught us so much about the theoretical and practical sides of yoga. My meditation practice has improved immensely!

The chef, who is the kindest person you’ll ever meet, always made sure we enjoyed his delicious food. We looked forward to every single meal! The whole group had a great connection and we really enjoyed each other’s company.

The hotel is simple and nice, and some adorable animals even came to nap in the garden. It made my stay even better as I love animals.

Palairos is a gorgeous town with a beach that feels untouched. We loved taking a swim in the sea every day after class.

A huge thank you to Ippoliti for being incredibly helpful and kind. We will miss you <3.

This training was perfect in every way. The location took my breath away, the food and accommodation were great, and the teaching was outstanding. The course included a great balance of physical asana practice, meditation, lectures, and alignment classes. The teachers, especially Ippoliti , were incredibly helpful and always ready to assist. The group size was just right, and we all made lasting connections; I definitely made some lifelong friends among my fellow yoga teachers. Ourania was amazing and shared so much knowledge, plus her classes were so much fun! The course was so amazing that I decided to extend my trip and complete the 50-hour Yin Teacher Training course. I’ll always be grateful to YogaUnion and happy to be part of the YogaUnion family. And let’s not forget the adorable baby kitten at the hostel – it was the cutest thing ever!

The accommodation in Greece didn’t meet our expectations. We had numerous centipedes and other insects in our room every day because the door didn’t shut properly, leaving a small gap at the bottom. There was no washing machine or closet for us. They didn’t clean the rubbish bin in our bathroom daily as promised; it only happened once a week. They also asked us to throw used toilet paper in that bin. The food was very repetitive, and sometimes there wasn’t enough for everyone. Despite that, the teacher training was amazing! If only the accommodation had been as nice.

I would have preferred a more structured mark scheme and feedback form for the final flow. Only one teacher reviewed it, and I think it would have been beneficial to have two opinions. Receiving written feedback with different criteria like structure, voice, atmosphere, adjustments, and teaching skills would have been better. The location was amazing, just 5 minutes from the Shala and away from the beach. The teaching quality was outstanding, and I learned so much. Big thanks to Faye, who was incredible. Ourania was also an amazing teacher, and Spyros was so helpful and kind. The food and accommodation exceeded my expectations. These were some of the best 3 weeks of my life, and I highly recommend it, even if you’re unsure. Don’t worry about not feeling good enough, as everyone arrives feeling the same way. I didn’t plan on teaching after, but I loved it so much that now I want to start preparing for my 300 hour. I met some amazing people, and everyone was so lovely and friendly.

The food tasted good, but I wish it had more variety. Our shala was super crowded, I really wanted a bigger space to practice in. The whole experience was life-changing thanks to the location, activities, and people I met. Nicol was an amazing teacher who taught me so much about my body and barriers. I loved starting my mornings with pranayama and meditation with Kati, she helped me understand and love myself more. It was great having a lot of people on the course, I got to connect with a worldwide network and see different levels of strength and flexibility, as well as struggles people faced.

The teacher has too many students in his class. They are not addressing the issues. Let’s talk about the hotel and its location.

Our philosophy instructor didn’t feel confident about the material she was teaching, so she spent 2-3 days on the testable material and then abandoned it completely to make us do exercises where we wandered around the premises smelling flowers and touching rocks. She discouraged too many questions, couldn’t stay on topic, and allowed some people to speak more than others. It was extremely frustrating because we were all supposed to pass an exam on very concrete information. When I personally asked her to focus on the exam material, she told me there was no way to cover it in only eight days and defensively asked me how I expected her to do that. I didn’t feel like this was an appropriate attitude from an instructor. No one felt truly prepared when the exam came, and many of us spent a lot of time cramming philosophy.

Getting the manual in pdf format before training would have been nice so that we could have spent time studying in advance. Reading the recommended books definitely helped, but I feel that they should have been mandatory so that we all could have come to training mentally prepared. The retreat in Bali is definitely both work and enjoyment, so if we had more opportunity to put work in in advance, it would have made the retreat easier to just enjoy. Our alignment classes were amazing. I feel honored to have learned alignment from Himanshu. He is a devoted, dynamic and technical instructor. He is both knowledgeable and passionate about teaching yoga. Himanshu was able to teach our class all of the major alignments of yoga positions and gave us practical knowledge of using yoga. Himanshu personally pushed me to new limits and he wasn’t afraid to demand the best of our entire class. During my 23 day course with him my strength, stamina, and flexibility all improved dramatically. I was able to do new poses I had never tried before. We started teaching immediately, so this helped me feel fully prepared for my final demo. We built up everything slowly and methodically. Himanshu is also excellent at guiding his students through more subtle things like breathwork. I found at the end of my course I was able to go deeper into my meditation and pranayama. He truly equipped me to be a better yoga practitioner.

The food variety wasn’t the best, but it still tasted good. If you want to surf online, get a sim card because the Wifi was really slow. I learned a lot about postures, body and mind, motivation, mindset, and passion from Himanshu during the total course. The workshops were a great mix, and the people were all friendly. I plan on doing the 300h in the future.

The food quality is vegan but lacks nutrients. The journey changed my life. I learned a lot and really connected with the experience. The programs were intense but also relaxing because we stayed in a 5-star hotel in Ubud. All the teachers were passionate and genuine. They shared their energy and knowledge with us, and we are grateful for it. The value you get is much more than the price you pay. Don’t hesitate, just go for it and become part of the family!

I absolutely loved the whole experience once again. The rice fields took my breath away. I honestly can’t think of anything I didn’t enjoy. The atmosphere was so warm and welcoming, it really made 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 got sick–they would bring us rice wherever we were staying. The classes were absolutely amazing. Celine is a warrior goddess with the most empowering and invigorating flows. The location in the rice fields was absolutely stunning and really helped us focus on being present in the moment. I already want to go back, even though I just got home! I would definitely go back again and again. Thank you so much for this incredible experience.

The food at the Mansion was the only disappointing part of the training for me. As a long-time vegan, I found the protein and complex carbohydrate options to be very limited. It was tough for us students who were studying and doing strenuous yoga all day. The lack of variety made it feel repetitive after being there for three weeks. YogaUnion did try to work with the Mansion Hotel to improve the situation, so hopefully future trainings will have better food options.

But aside from that, I absolutely loved the 200 YTT with YogaUnion! The teachers were all so passionate and knowledgeable. I felt like I was getting top-notch yoga education. Nikol, our main teacher, is such an inspiration. Whether she was teaching asana alignment or leading a vinyasa flow, her energy was infectious. She is truly dedicated and has a kind soul. We all learned a ton from her.

The group might be a bit too large. The group is very nice, the ambiance is beautiful, and the teachers are kind and ambitious.

The food became repetitive after 3 weeks but still good. These teachers really bring the passion. Thank you so much for that The surroundings and the shala in the rice fields are absolutely stunning!

I’m not picky when it comes to food, but it was really bad, 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 is a lot of theory and philosophy. It’s important to understand everything for the rest of your training. Personally, I don’t speak English well and I don’t understand it very well either. I tried the experience but it was very difficult because I had to do a double job (translate my manuals into French).
Top-notch yoga classes with an extraordinary and very professional teacher. I loved practicing with all the teachers who are all very humble. A unique experience with beautiful encounters.

I would advise arriving at least 2 days early to get over jet lag and adjust to the weather. It will help you make the most of your time here. And if you can, stay for at least a week after the course ends so you can explore the island, Gili, or Nusa Penida. The course is intense, and you’ll have 2 Sundays off to relax and recharge.

The teachers were amazing when it came to asana, anatomy, and philosophy. I learned so much and know that it will stick with me because they were so passionate and caring. Aaka taught philosophy and Spyros taught anatomy. Nikol and Himanshu led strong daily asana and vinyasa classes.

The accommodation at Mansion Resort was like something out of a honeymoon dream! I splurged on my own double room, and it was totally worth it. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the rooms were cleaned daily. The Shalas, where we practiced yoga and had classes, were absolutely beautiful.

Just a heads up, you won’t be staying in town, but there’s a free shuttle that runs a few times a day. You can also take a taxi for £8 each way or rent a scooter nearby.

The food was good, and as a vegetarian, I was happy to see that everything was meat-free. My only wish was for a coffee supply in the afternoon, but the cafe did serve iced coffee for £3.50.

The food needs more variety because it’s getting repetitive. The Philosophy teacher isn’t always clear. Classes are great though – Nikol, the yoga teacher, is brilliant and very experienced. She knows her stuff. I’ve learned a lot from her. The location is beautiful and the staff is friendly. Spyros, the anatomy teacher, has a great approach to teaching that’s easy to understand and enjoyable. Met some lovely people and overall had a really enjoyable experience.

Thank you Yoga Union for the best experience. I didn’t believe it was possible to learn and progress so much and have a life-altering experience in such a short time when I read the reviews beforehand, but it was all true. Spyros, Ourania, Himanshu, Celine, and Sirios were so dedicated and gave so much energy and passion throughout the three weeks. They answered our endless questions every time as if it was the first and really pushed us to step outside our comfort zone. Every time you thought you had given your all, they wouldn’t let you give up…thanks Himanshu! Being immersed in such an intense program for 3 weeks has definitely made me see things differently and develop a much more holistic view of yoga. The energy of all the teachers has been really inspirational and gives you the confidence that you really can achieve anything if you put your mind to it!

The food lacked variety and flavor, but we made efforts to improve it towards the end and noticed a difference late in the last week.

Knowledgeable teachers will guide you in an immersive and accessible environment that stimulates personal growth and deeper understanding of the yogic way of life.

The schedule is grueling and intense because this program is not a relaxing retreat. It’s meant to prepare experienced practitioners for guiding yogis through flows and promoting a more mindful practice in the future.

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

Just a friendly reminder to all students about the etiquette of mat arrangement, as sometimes things get a bit crowded at the entrance of the shala. But I absolutely love Nikol’s sweaty and fast-paced Vinyasa classes!

I really appreciate the fact that the shala and bedrooms are all under one roof here at The Mansion. It’s so nice not to have the stress of commuting back and forth.

During the training, I learned so much about asana and human anatomy, subjects I’ve always been interested in but never knew much about. It’s been a really enlightening experience.

One of my favorite parts of the training was learning and teaching the traditional Sun Salutations. There’s something so powerful and grounding about that sequence.

The outstanding quality and organisation of the yoga teacher training at YogaUnion are truly indescribable. The wonderful and professional teachers, the beautiful location in the rice fields, and the high-quality training materials all exceeded my expectations. They took great care of each individual taking the training.

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 and just a short walk from the shala. The restaurant where we ate had delicious, vegetarian (with vegan options) and plentiful meals just a 2-minute walk away.

The teachers are fantastic, professional, and friendly, making the training outstanding. This yoga teacher training surpassed my expectations in all the best ways. 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 wonderful and I never felt hungry. If anything, I ate too much. But I am super happy about the training and I highly recommend it.

I found the food to be repetitive. Some people stayed in a mansion resort while others stayed in the rice fields. The variety in accommodations wasn’t made clear to me. I wish they had talked more about spirituality and ‘self development,’ but overall, it was a life-changing experience. These small complaints don’t compare to how incredible it was.

The group was usually around 30 people, but we became like family. If you prefer smaller groups, this might not be the retreat for you. I personally thrive in smaller settings and wish there had been more one-on-one time. However, the staff was amazing and that’s why so many people flock to this retreat. You won’t regret it.

I was situated in the rice fields, which provided a beautiful and serene atmosphere for my yoga teacher training. The training was physically intense but incredibly rewarding. It’s important to know that it’s hard work. Most of the teachers were knowledgeable and caring, truly wanting you to become the best yoga teacher possible.

The food was generally good, though it did get repetitive. The meal preparers were kind and considerate. I loved the experience and wouldn’t change a thing!

Philosophy has always discussed views of women and femininity, vegan food doesn’t come with a tag or anything, and philosophy is often taught in a very theoretical way, very distant from our reality. When I booked this, I didn’t know what to expect. However, my overall experience was very good. The first few days were tough and I didn’t think I could handle it, but in the end, I surprised myself. 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 such a strong, positive, and loving vibe that is irresistible. The place is simply magical with its rice fields and village feel, yet also being close to Ubud’s city center. It was a pleasure to be there!

I loved how my Yoga Teacher Training journey at Yoga Union was a life changer! I entered a bubble of positivity, learned how to take care of myself and others, and experienced the yoga philosophy everywhere. The team was amazing, and I truly enjoyed every aspect of it. Thank you so much!

The teachers varied in their quality, but overall, they were pretty good. I already had a solid physical practice, so I felt like the course was geared more towards beginners. The anatomy and philosophy lessons also seemed better suited for newbies. The location and accommodations at Ubud Nirwa Karma were top-notch. The food was delicious and straightforward. The shala was amazing and the overall setup of the place was impressive. If you’re looking for a self-development retreat, this course is perfect, especially for beginners.

I read every review and they all said the food is repetitive and standard. Honestly, you don’t need too much variety with the physical stress you put your body through every day. It was perfect for what my body needed after two hours of daily vinyasa. I’m so glad I chose this course. I looked at thousands in different countries and this one exceeded my expectations by far. It was really tough. They suggest reading a few books before you come. I did and you should too. They recommend having a yoga routine beforehand. I did a little bit but three weeks wasn’t enough. It’s a lot of information to take in. But once you do it, it’s so rewarding. The group I was with was amazing. We became like a family and it was beautiful. We laughed, we cried, and I even got some bruises… but it was all worth it. For the super affordable price, it’s more than you’d expect. Nikki was an incredible instructor. She pushed you to see what you’re capable of and you’ll surprise yourself. Spyros was the best anatomy instructor. He’s 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. They gave lectures on anatomy, philosophy, and asana labs which helped me understand yoga better. Now I feel safer and more confident in my own practice. The location, a shala in the rice fields, is absolutely stunning! If you’re thinking about taking this course, make sure to savor every moment and enjoy the beautiful, 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 didn’t allow for it. The closing ceremony is nicer and more authentic there, in my opinion. The resort could get noisy at times, 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 cover everything you need to know about Asanas, alignment, variation, and the benefits with care and commitment to yoga. It’s tough but caring love they share with all the students. I’m grateful to Nikole for putting in the effort, patience, and care into teaching us. Spiros and Ourania are wonderful as well and help build a great yoga community here. Taking in all the information in three weeks can be overwhelming, so remember to rest and clear your mind between classes to absorb it all again for the exam. The teaching structure starts immediately, allowing you to build your flow step by step and teach each other. It’s an intense, physical, mental, and emotional but amazing experience where people grow into a yogi family. I will always be thankful for doing this! Namaste.

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

I had an amazing experience with Yoga Union. The accommodation at The Mansion was super comfy, it’s such a beautiful resort. The course was really informative, and all our teachers gave it their best to teach us everything they could while we were there. The daily Vinyasa practices were life-changing, I felt so much stronger and fitter by the end of the retreat. Overall, it was an incredible experience and I couldn’t have asked for a better course.

The hotel had spotty wifi sometimes, but that’s on the hotel, not YogaUnion. There are cute cafes nearby where you can get great food and fast wifi if you need it! I honestly can’t think of anything negative to say. The team at YogaUnion is fantastic; they’re knowledgeable and present information in an easy-to-understand way. Nikol, Spyros, and Ourania are incredible teachers and people. It felt like family as soon as I got there. The accommodation was beautiful and the schedule was busy but well organized so you don’t get overwhelmed. There was also plenty of free time to explore Ubud, a wonderful town! Choosing this YTT was the best gift I could give myself. I’m leaving feeling confident as a yoga teacher and as a better, more grounded person. The team at YogaUnion has put together an amazing course for their students. If you’re thinking about doing your 200hr training with YogaUnion, do it! You won’t regret it, I promise.

I struggled to understand the instructor. I would have preferred longer classroom or yoga sessions, but classes ended early and we ended up with free time. The anatomy lessons were great – they explained difficult concepts in simple English and with visuals. I really enjoyed that we reviewed the technical details of the morning class right after, like which meridians we focused on.

I loved staying in the rice fields! However, I and a few others didn’t realize we had a choice between the fields and the mansion until we got there and the groups were already split. If I can suggest something, it would be great to know about the options when booking. Even though I enjoyed my stay, it might not be the same for everyone, so knowing in advance can keep everyone happy. Coming for a yoga teacher training was the best decision I ever made. If you’re still unsure, just go for it! Bali has a special energy that helps release negative things we carry. Combined with great teachers like Ourania and Himanshu, and the amazing people you meet here, the experience becomes life-changing. It’s a serene place where you can be yourself, with others who support and encourage you. The training is tough, both physically and emotionally, but you’ll have a supportive group to help you through it. You will grow and become better, no matter your reasons for being here. The YogaUnion in Ubud is a perfect place to start.

To my September course group mates, I’m grateful for each of you. You’ve helped me grow and believe in myself more. I hope we’ve done the same for each other. Best of luck to everyone, and a big THANK YOU to our wonderful teachers for sharing your wisdom with us.

It was a bit stressful because we learned so much in such a short time, but it was amazing. We had perfect schedules for our yoga practice with different teachers and workshops. They taught us a very clear vinyasa style. The accommodation at the mansion was incredible.

I recommend revising the training book to correct mistakes and add missing postures in available spots. The Yoga Union’s ricefield shala is like a dream with every detail surrounding the place being unique. I think our group in Bali was the best, with different classes and the remote location from busy Ubud, the sounds of nature, and the magical atmosphere. The pathway to the shala, the restaurant 308 run by Ayung’s chef Putu & Yoga, fireflies at night, and starry skies all added to the charm.

We were like neighbors in a little village spread across hotels on the pathway, and my hotel, Nirwa Ubud Karma, was very cozy. The owners of Yoga Union, Ourania and Spyros, perfectly embody love and share that with their students, making the training a supportive and loving experience. The whole crew, including Himanshu, Jonas, Saavas, Juan Carlos, Florence, and Pablo, were professional and competent.

Choosing this training to learn to teach Yoga was the best decision, and I couldn’t imagine a better course. Thank you to the teachers and students of the August session for making this experience beautiful and unforgettable.

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 with my fellow Yogis, the teachers, and the magic of Bali convinced me that it was the right decision. So, for anyone 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 everybody to learn from. I always felt like I was in a safe space. The teachers were professional, experienced, patient, and always showed a great understanding for us students. I particularly enjoyed the challenging Vinyasa classes with Savvas and the fascinating anatomy lessons with Jonas. In fact, Jonas made the topic so interesting that I now want to study more about the physical body in the future.

We were a very big group of people, totaling 40 just in our group. Teachers found it challenging to give individual feedback because of our size. However, I knew to expect a large group in August, as it is high season and the Shala is equipped to handle many people. The experience was incredible. I miss the beautiful Shala in the ricefields and the lovely teachers every day. I have no regrets about choosing this Training and would do it again and again! Thanks to all the teachers and organizers for making this possible and giving it your all!

If you’re looking for an incredible experience, then this program is perfect for you! Whether you’re interested in becoming a Yoga teacher or just want to enhance your practice, I highly recommend this training. I was pushed physically, mentally, and emotionally in the most beautiful ways. I exceeded my limits, shared laughter and tears, and felt overwhelming gratitude for being in Bali surrounded by rice fields, practicing in a stunning shala, with a group of inspiring yogis from around the world. The teachers were fantastic and shared their knowledge and wisdom with us. The information I gained is invaluable for my personal practice and future as a Yoga teacher. The cafe where we ate was fantastic, with attentive and kind staff who provided delicious vegan (and gluten-free) options. The hotel I stayed at (Restu) was good, with minor issues quickly resolved. I can’t say enough amazing things about this experience – it’s something I’ll cherish forever in my heart. I can’t wait to return to Ubud!

I would have preferred more fruit at lunch and dinner.

I also would have liked smaller group sizes, it was overwhelming with 30 people in the final lessons.

Some accommodations lacked amenities like water in the rooms or kettles, it’s luck of the draw. But the shala in the rice fields is truly magical! Ourania, Spyros, and the team have created a paradise. They are so welcoming and make you feel like family.

The instructors were diverse and catered to all levels, from beginner to advanced. I was nervous about teaching in a group but they built my confidence. I’ve already started training clients with ease.

The walk to the shala is unforgettable, I often walked barefoot. The meals were filling and you get ginger lemongrass tea daily.

Make sure to pace yourself in classes and read the training manual daily. Don’t leave it all for the last minute. Listen to your body and take breaks when needed.

I was blown away by how much the training surpassed my expectations. The location is unreal, the teachers are all phenomenal and experts in their fields, and so generous, the food was just so tasty. I can’t recommend it enough and would definitely do it again…and again!

We only had a large group, so we didn’t get a lot of personal critique on our teaching or yoga practice. But that was probably because it was August. The energy of the big group was great – it was awesome to share the experience with people from all over the world. More students meant more to learn from too. The Shala in the rice fields was absolutely stunning – they really put a lot of effort into making it beautiful. It was so special to be surrounded by nature and real Ubud every day, away from the hustle and bustle of the town center.

The teachers were top-notch, each with their own style. They made us feel safe and welcomed, taking care of everyone’s needs. The variety of yoga styles and workshops kept things interesting. The course did a great job at preparing us to become teachers in a short amount of time. And I got to work on my own practice too.

The anatomy and philosophy lessons were informative and offered a new perspective on yoga beyond just the physical aspect.

The food at the nearby restaurant was surprisingly delicious, with plenty of options. The staff even accommodated special dietary needs.

Overall, my experience at YogaUnion was amazing. I’m so grateful for the opportunity and all that I learned.

The food sometimes lacks finesse but hey, no big deal! Clear explanation, challenge, kindness, understanding, achievable expectations. Everything surpassed my expectations

Our group was pretty large at this time of year, which sometimes caused issues at meal times and when there was only one teacher in the shala. However, they did a great job of making sure everyone was involved. The arrival experience was a bit disorganized and could have been improved with clearer instructions to make it smoother and less stressful. But the course itself was excellent. Each teacher was truly themselves, providing a diverse range of teaching styles and perspectives. Their passion for yoga and the yogic lifestyle was truly inspiring. This course was exactly what I needed right now, and the whole experience was even more enriching than I had imagined.

Every day we only had tofu and rice for food. I wish they would offer a little more spirituality and philosophy. The teachers were very experienced and provided high quality training. I absolutely loved it! They were very knowledgeable and I learned so much in a short amount of time. It was an experience I will always cherish. Ubud is the most beautiful place. I will recommend this to everyone.

Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond the school’s control, the location didn’t meet our expectations. As someone living in Dubai, I was really looking forward to coming to Ubud to stay in the rice fields and be closer to nature. However, we ended up staying at the Mansion hotel. Don’t get me wrong, it was a beautiful place and we were treated incredibly well, but I had come for a more natural and yoga-focused experience.

On the bright side, I did get to see Yoga Union’s shala and it was absolutely breathtaking! It was the most beautiful shala I had ever seen, surrounded by lush rice fields. I loved the teachers and the whole experience was amazing, helping me on my journey to becoming a yoga teacher. The classes were fun and interactive, presenting exciting challenges every day.

We were well taken care of and the teachers made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. I learned so much each day and met some incredible people who I hope to stay friends with for life. I definitely hope to return to Yoga Union someday and highly recommend the school to anyone looking to become a yoga teacher.

Maybe the food is just very repetitive, but still delicious. That’s the only fault I could find! Everything else is amazing. The teachers are incredible and supportive, and they will continue to be in the future. I feel like I’ve grown mentally, physically, and spiritually. The amount of anatomy covered in the course has made me feel confident in my teaching skills for the future. I’ve heard that this isn’t the case in many other courses, but I couldn’t find any faults with this one.

I loved every minute of the Yoga Teacher Training! Ourania, Spyros, Sarah & Magda were amazing. Thank you for such a great experience! I wish I could do it all over again. I enjoyed every meditation, vinyasa, yin class, workshop, alignment, anatomy, and philosophy class. It was a challenging journey but totally worth it. I’m glad I trusted my intuition and booked with YogaUnion.

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

The food could have been tastier. Breakfast was good but lunch and dinner lacked flavor. However, there are plenty of affordable options around if you want more variety in your meals during the 3 weeks. The teachers were wonderful and always eager to share their knowledge, the yoga shala was located in the middle of rice fields, and the positive energy of the group made this training a fantastic experience.

Everything was great, maybe just some improvements could be made with the food. I wish there was more love put into the preparation, more variety, and only local dishes.

I had a wonderful experience and I recommend this teacher training to anyone open to engaging in an enriching experience that not only deepens their personal yogic practice, but also initiates personal processes in a wonderful way, and thus gains insights.
I am thankful for the three amazing teachers who accompanied us with so much love and care throughout these three weeks.

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

I had a great time in this training. I definitely recommend it. The teachers were fantastic and the whole experience was organized really well. The surroundings and people were beautiful. I hope to see you again soon!

Saying goodbye to all the beautiful people I met was tough. I loved everything about the training, especially the teachers and our group. We created a unique energy together that made it hard to say goodbye. The teachers are passionate about sharing their knowledge and love of yoga. The challenging program was made easier by the supportive environment, making me feel more confident in teaching yoga. Our classes were held in a shala overlooking rice fields, providing the perfect environment for practice and learning.

I absolutely loved my time at Yoga Union!!! It was a truly transformative experience. The best part was having the guidance of the most amazing, kind, and caring teachers. They laughed, cried, and supported me every step of the way, enriching me in ways I never thought possible. And let’s not forget my wonderful host, Anna – she made my stay even more incredible. But the best part was the beautiful friendships I formed with amazing people who are now my partners in our wellness business. Doing what I love with the people I love is truly a dream come true. Thank you, Yoga Union, and all the lovely people and experiences that made it unforgettable. Much love. xx

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

Thank you, Yoga Union family, for an amazing time in Bali and for sharing all your knowledge with us!

I loved my experience at the retreat! The accommodations were open and airy, but be sure to bring plenty of bug repellent and white tiger balm. My expectations were truly exceeded. The instructors were so organized and the classes were informative and captivating. I loved the variety of classes and how well they took care of us. I was able to focus all my energy on myself. I would highly recommend Ourania, Spyros, Sarah, and Jac. They each have unique gifts and really care about their students. Don’t wait, just go for it!

The food could have been better… but I loved how complete the course was. I feel very prepared to teach and to develop my yoga practice 🙂

I didn’t like the location of the accommodation very much. The house was extremely isolated (not by the beach and no significant panorama), there were no public transportation, no shop for hygiene products, etc., and the beach was not 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, common room, etc. This was not ideal for me personally because it was always relatively loud and I couldn’t retreat anywhere, and I spent the whole day in the same house (going up and down stairs). The yoga classes were top-notch professional – the teachers are all very passionate and dedicated, and have excellent knowledge. I learned a lot in a relatively short amount of time and am really happy.

The only thing I found a bit difficult was living in the same house as three other girls where the courses took place. Initially, it was fine, but as the schedule got busier and sleep hours decreased, I needed every lunch break and post-dinner time for rest or study. The house was always bustling with people, making it hard to relax, especially since it only quieted down after 10 o’clock. It felt a bit claustrophobic and confining to do everything in the same place – learning, eating, sleeping.

On the bright side, renting a car allowed us to escape to the beach or town for a change of scenery during breaks. This was a refreshing break from the constant noise at the house. The food did cause some stomach issues after two weeks, so I started eating out occasionally for a change in the menu.

Overall, the house situation was the only downside for me, but I would recommend making changes for future retreats. Despite this, the yoga teacher training exceeded my expectations. The teachers were passionate, skilled, and dedicated, making it one of the best things I’ve done for myself. I learned a lot, enjoyed the company of fellow trainees, explored beautiful places, and grew as a person. The teachers were top-notch, offering different perspectives and a wealth of knowledge. The anatomy and philosophy sessions were engaging, and the surroundings were stunning. I made some great connections and overall, it was a fantastic experience.

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

I didn’t like that it had to end. The atmosphere was great, the instructors were amazing, and their teachings were so valuable. The accommodations were hospitable and comfortable, 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.

The day’s structure was perfect. The food was excellent, and Bali is paradise, of course. But what really stands out is the incredible instruction. Koralia and Ourenia 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 a problem because we got to explore all those amazing places in the rice fields. What I loved about this teacher training is that:
– It helps you grow as a person both practically and spiritually. It really makes you reflect on yourself and look deep within.
– It puts a strong emphasis on teaching. You start teaching right from week 1, which boosts your confidence by the end.
– The location, the people, the food, and the teachers all combine to create a magical experience that puts a smile on your face every day.

I gained a lot of new knowledge and my body feels rejuvenated.

The disorganization was my main problem. We were often clueless about our next location, wandering until we stumbled upon our teachers. I didn’t like the lack of a schedule for the three weeks ahead – we only found out a few days in advance. The teachers wanted flexibility, but a plan would’ve helped us prepare and de-stress.

I never got the Shatkarma kit that was promised, and had to ask for the included massage. Both weren’t initially mentioned. I think they should hire an admin person to help out.

Despite these issues, the teaching was top-notch and I learned a lot. The exam covered everything we learned. The teachers were knowledgeable, sharing valuable experiences. Their personalities were different, giving us a well-rounded perspective. We started teaching and getting feedback early on, which was challenging but beneficial. I enjoyed learning different yoga styles alongside Vinyasa.

The scenery in Ubud was stunning, and both class locations had great equipment and views. I stayed at Gusti Garden, which was basic but comfy. The WiFi was good, and the owner was always helpful. The free umbrellas were a nice touch!

The food at Prashanti was delicious, but not exactly macrobiotic. It was more Indonesian vegan cuisine.

I had a fantastic time with supportive classmates, many of whom are now my friends.

The structure and organization of this program really need some work. I think they could have really used an assistant. Things were not handled correctly, and many students were upset. When we were asked for our feedback, the teachers became defensive and dismissive.

The website said 15 participants max, but there were actually 35. We were told that it didn’t make a difference, but I strongly felt that it did. I didn’t receive enough instruction or help, and often felt lost and ignored. It seemed like certain students received more attention than others.

I was promised a certain accommodation, but I was given a significantly less nice one. The online price for the accommodation I received was half of what the other girls were staying at, yet I had to pay full price. I expected to be compensated for the downgrade, but that didn’t happen. It felt very unfair. I had mold issues in my room and ended up with a sore throat and runny nose for most of the training. My favorite luggage ended up covered in mold by the end of the training. Despite my efforts to address these issues, I felt completely dismissed.

The practice space we used was beautiful, and I learned a lot. I appreciated being introduced to other forms of yoga, beyond just Vinyasa. However, I would have liked more explanation about those types. The teachers were knowledgeable but not always the most organized. I also had the opportunity to meet some incredible women.

Great instructions from Ourania! She’s amazing, over 15 people have said so.

We didn’t get the accommodation we expected… the bathroom was really musty and damp, and there weren’t any drinking water facilities. But overall, everything else about the accommodation was nice, just the little things. Sometimes the class was so big that we had to be split up between different venues, which caused some confusion. A few things could have gone more smoothly, but this was their first time organizing in Bali. The two teachers were fantastic… they were both incredibly strong women with unique qualities. It was amazing to have them as mentors during the program.

I absolutely loved the long meditation. It was a truly personal experience. The feedback was great, and it gave me valuable insight into yoga teaching and living a yoga lifestyle.

The organization could have been a bit better, but hey, we’re all human and mistakes happen. I absolutely loved the place – it was like paradise! The scenery was so beautiful and green, and the teachers were awesome; they were very supportive and understanding.

They advertised 15 people, but in reality, there were 33 of us, so that’s false advertising. The instructors didn’t welcome feedback. The anatomy classes were disorganized, and the required anatomy book wasn’t included in the list they provided, so we had to pay extra to have it printed on A4 papers. On the bright side, the Vinyasa morning classes were fantastic! The location is stunning, surrounded by rice fields. Coralia’s adjustments were always spot-on!
