The chakra system originates from ancient tantric philosophy and acts as a guide for meditation and expanding consciousness. At Samyama, we respect these traditions and combine them with our own experiential wisdom about the chakras. Join us for the 8-Day Chakra Immersion from Root to Crown Yoga Teacher Training in Indonesia to explore the deep connection between your chakras and overall well-being.
Only Registered Yoga Teachers (RYT®) can count the course/hours as Continuing Education hours.
The overall well-being encompasses the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health, and the subtle energy body is an essential part of it. However, in our busy modern lives, we often compromise these energy systems without even realizing it. To truly grow through yoga, you need to strengthen and harmonize your body’s energy centers, also known as the chakras. The chakra system has its roots in ancient tantric philosophy and serves as a guide for meditation and expanding consciousness. Our program aims to offer a balance of practice and theory. “From Root to Crown” will deepen your self-practice, enhance your understanding of yoga’s metaphysics and meditation, and equip you with the skills to delve deeper on your own. Through various techniques, the chakras will transform from abstract concepts into tangible experiences. Working with the chakras in this way can change your thoughts, emotions, and how you relate to others. Join us for a unique and immersive course that is practical, empowering, and profound. Our teachers are experienced and dedicated yogis/yoginis who have a strong background in yoga and meditation. They will share their diverse gifts and skills with you from an authentic and heart-centered place of service. Everyone’s journey with yoga and meditation is unique, so we value the importance of one-on-one attention by keeping our groups small and implementing a buddy system.
You can start the course with an optional welcome circle on the evening of March 31st. It’s a great opportunity to meet fellow participants, ask questions, and receive an orientation from the instructors. If you can’t attend the welcome circle, we will provide you with any necessary orientation materials before your arrival. Just show up on the morning of April 1st ready to practice, and we’ll guide you and help you settle in as needed.

Ubud, Bali has become one of the top destinations for yoga and spirituality. The local Balinese Hindus strongly believe in karma and acts of devotion, offering to the gods daily. Ubud translates into ‘medicine’ and has always been a holy center for healing and purifying. You can truly feel the strong, yet nourishing energy – like a warm embrace – from Mama Bali.

January 17, 2023 at 12:00 amI often felt like there wasn’t always room for questions, and that the instructors were sometimes inaccessible.
There was a difference among the students. Some had no prior 200YTT or teaching experience. The staff always had a smile, worked hard, and kept things tidy. The toilets were checked multiple times a day, beds made every day, and fresh towels and a fresh bed were provided twice a week.
I loved hearing the instructors’ personal stories, especially about the silence and kundalini/tantra retreat. The lectures on philosophy, the nervous system/facia, Ayurveda, and PRANAYAMA were amazing!
I learned a lot about myself, it was an inner journey with many new insights. Thank you so much for that! Overall, it was an amazing experience that I am incredibly grateful for. It was the perfect 300-hour YTT for me. The vision of Samyama was exactly what I was looking for, with its focus on energetic work and teachings.

December 21, 2022 at 12:00 amThere’s nothing we could have changed. The humidity is always there, but it makes the vegetation so beautiful. The people, the philosophy, and the genuine connections. The quality of education and food. We nourish both our minds and our stomachs. The location is close to everything.

December 6, 2022 at 12:00 amI simply loved everything. I feel deeply grateful for being able to experience this. It’s time to meet, learn, and accept oneself. Being present in the here and now for four weeks. The teachers’ support was very personal and always heartfelt. The knowledge I gained about yoga has a profound meaning that I had no idea about before Samyama. My deepest thanks for these life-changing experiences.

August 9, 2022 at 12:00 amThis experience truly changed my life. I’ve been doing yoga for a while, but I had never met such genuine, wise, skilled, and loving teachers before. Each teacher brings their own unique value and personality to the program, making it a transformative experience on multiple levels. I’m really impressed with how well they balanced all the different elements of the training. We had time for theory, practice, deep self-reflection, and even fun. You could truly feel that these teachers embody what they teach. Spending a month with them was an incredible learning experience, and I’m so grateful for it. Thank you!
The community that formed during the training was incredibly supportive and inspiring, and we still stay connected even after the course.
I really enjoyed that the training took place in a serene location surrounded by beautiful rice paddies, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. And yet, it was close enough to Ubud if anyone wanted to explore.
The food was absolutely amazing. What a treat!
It was so nice to have a driver waiting for me when I arrived in Bali.

July 13, 2022 at 12:00 amI had an incredible experience at Samyama that exceeded all my expectations. The Yoga Teachers and the entire team at Samyama are filled with love and compassion, and deeply committed to the practice of Yoga both on and off the mat. The accommodation was excellent and the three vegan meals provided each day added to the perfection of my 200 hours teacher training. The team took care of everything, allowing me to fully focus on my yoga journey. My classmates were incredibly supportive, making my journey even more enjoyable. I feel so grateful to have discovered this oasis in the heart of the Balinese paradise. I highly recommend Samyama to anyone seeking a transformative experience. I am already planning to return next year for the 300 hours training to further deepen my spiritual path with the wonderful friends and community I found at Samyama. ??

July 13, 2022 at 12:00 amI can’t believe it had to end! This retreat completely blew my mind in every way possible. The teachers became my gurus and took me on a spiritual journey that words can’t do justice to. It was pure magic! It goes way beyond just being a yoga instructor training, as it truly helps students grow physically, mentally, and spiritually. If only everyone had the chance to experience this, the world would be such an amazing place!

April 3, 2022 at 12:00 amRooms without AC have an issue with humidity, which can lead to mold. It’d be amazing if these rooms could be provided with dehumidifiers right away. The training and the overall atmosphere surpassed any expectations I had. I can’t express enough how thankful I am for this amazing experience!
