I didn’t have any specific dislikes, but the other attendees were surprised to see me. I was the only one attending a yoga retreat while they were all in yoga teacher training. Still, I had a great time because I came with a positive attitude and a thirst for learning. The staff at Bali Yoga School really impressed me with their politeness and helpfulness. They made me feel incredibly welcome. Even though I’m not vegan, I absolutely loved the food served at every meal. The fruits were incredibly sweet and the other dishes had such flavorful names.

I thought everything was fantastic! The teachers were amazing, they really engaged us and gave us helpful tips for alignment. They also helped boost our confidence as a group. The facilities were nice too, and the sense of community was great.

The instructors were incredibly nice and had a positive approach. I learned a lot in just two weeks. The classes flowed smoothly and we had longer breaks to rest or relax after lunch. I highly recommend this place and the wonderful people working there. Everyone was friendly and helpful, making it a peaceful and relaxing environment. I am definitely coming back for another class when I am in Bali. Thank you for such a nice experience.

This place is a construction site with only one yoga class offered daily. It has a great energy and everyone is very welcoming.

There’s nothing at all.

N.A. Himalayan Yoga Association offers a comprehensive and thorough teaching manual. You can watch the pre-recorded training videos at your convenience, wherever you are. The daily zoom live classes are great for understanding different aspects of yoga, and we can ask the teachers for further clarification. Hopefully, I’ll get a chance to visit Rishikesh one day. Thank you for this amazing course, and a big shoutout to Saumya-ji.

Honestly, I loved everything. The food was nice and as a vegetarian, I didn’t feel like I needed anything more (just espresso ?). The place was so peaceful and I enjoyed it. My experience with the teachers was amazing. I learned a lot from Shanti ji, Ida ji, and Niki ji. I am so grateful to have met these beautiful souls in my life. Dewa ji made me feel at home. I am 100% happy with my experience and all my memories with Bali Yoga School will always remain in my heart. I wish I could stay longer. Best wishes to all. Thank you ?? ?

I felt a lack of protein in the meals since I’m not a vegetarian. It wasn’t enough for the physical effort required, so I personally lost a lot of weight, which in my case is not positive.

They should improve the cleanliness of the rooms, especially the areas with insects.

I would have liked to stay longer, but I will definitely come back. ??

The place is beautiful, the schedule is perfect, and the food is very good and well-presented.

The teachers are just amazing. They made me feel comfortable right away, and despite their young age, they have a perfect mastery of their work, both in theory and practice. Neelam Ji is funny and passionate. Durgesh Ji is calm and soothing. Rahul Ji is very professional and patient, and last but not least, Ankit Ji, my favorite teacher, is fun and challenging. He brings a breath of fresh air to the class. Thank you all four for your kindness, patience, and the passion you put into your work. I won’t hesitate to repeat the experience with the same teachers. ❤️?

The mosquitoes there have evolved. You should bring long yoga pants for class because spray isn’t going to help much ? I absolutely loved the alignment, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga classes. Ankit ji and Rahul ji are both so professional and knowledgeable. They really exceeded my expectations. I want to give a special thanks to Durgesh ji and Dewa ji for taking such good care of all the students. The accommodation was lovely and the staff were incredibly welcoming. I especially loved the local family that lived next to us. It made me feel like a local myself. This was also my first time switching to a vegetarian diet, but the food was so delicious and there were so many options. It actually helped me lower my fat and build muscle. Overall, it was an amazing experience for me. I had a really fun and nice time with Bali yoga school.

I loved every moment I spent here and I will forever be grateful for everything I learned. The teachers here are incredibly knowledgeable, always ready to help, and genuinely kind-hearted people. It honestly felt like being with my own family.

This place is absolutely beautiful, and it’s a space where you can truly connect with yourself. Through peaceful meditation and the guidance and energy of the teachers, I was able to go even deeper within myself.

If you’re still unsure about whether or not to take this time and experience the purity, connectedness of mind, body, and soul, and overall well-being, I strongly encourage you to go for it. I genuinely recommend it and I hope you’re able to make it happen!

The school provided a very disorganized and unprofessional experience with a very poor level of teaching. The classes didn’t even add up to 200 hours and the tutors were consistently late, which made students lose motivation and also show up late themselves. There was even a class cancellation because of rain, even though it was the rainy season! This resulted in even shorter hours of instruction.

The yoga classes were just regular yoga classes and we weren’t really taught how to actually teach yoga, except for two sequencing lessons. What’s even more alarming is that we weren’t assessed on our yoga teaching abilities or even asked to teach yoga.

A significant number of students missed numerous classes, maybe around 40%, and yet still managed to pass and become “qualified yoga teachers.”

To make things worse, there were five teacher changes without any warning or explanation. The tutors for the Astanga class, meditation class, alignment class, and pranayama class all changed back and forth. It was quite confusing for everyone involved.

On top of all of that, I personally witnessed two instances where another student broke down and cried because they had complained to the management about the issues at the school.

The food provided was terrible – basic and flavorless, with never enough to satisfy us.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but I truly believe that this school not only offers a very poor experience for students who pay a significant amount of money, but it is also potentially dangerous since it qualifies people who aren’t ready to teach yoga.

Honestly, I think this is a terrible school that was set up solely to make money. It’s hard to find anything positive to say about it, as almost every aspect was a disappointment. The only things I liked were the pool at the accommodation, which was quite nice, and the manager of the accommodation who was very helpful. I could tell she was embarrassed about the low quality of food that was suggested by the yoga school. Most of the other students’ accommodations were pleasant, but my friend and I were placed separately and our rooms had a lot of mold. When I checked out, I discovered that some of my clothes had mold on them as well. However, the manager was very helpful and promptly got them cleaned.

Anatomy and Philosophy classes are poorly organized. I can just Google the information and watch YouTube videos, which are even clearer than what the teacher says. For example, the notes mention the 5 Kleshas, but I can find the exact information on the website, and they only briefly mention the 7 chakras.

One of the meditation teachers suddenly left and only left a message through WhatsApp. We only found out from another teacher without any official notice. There is no backup or contingency plan if a teacher gets sick. They just expect us to study on our own. What would happen if the teacher got sick for a few days?

We had to change the pranayama teacher in the middle of the course and then changed again. There was no communication between these teachers, so they didn’t know what the other teacher had already taught.

I came to Bali to learn how to be a teacher, but we didn’t have much time for teaching practice. We didn’t come here to practice yoga, as we can do that in our home country. The school should provide guidance on teaching yoga for us to practice, not just practicing yoga ourselves.

The school grouped all the students from different hour programs together, and we almost learned the same things. They should separate the students according to their yoga level in different classes.

It’s disorganized, and what I’ve learned is not enough to become a teacher. The lead trainer was unable to effectively lead the course.

The food was monotonous and lacked variety.

Ankit and Rahul are very young but have a passion for teaching, especially Rahul. He is willing to spend extra time teaching advanced poses to students.

The course coordinator, Deva, did his best to fix the problems and take action.

The Philosophy classes didn’t have as much discussion as I expected, and the Anatomy classes lacked practical knowledge. The course seemed to focus more on self-development than teaching others.

I had some communication issues right from the start. I had booked private accommodation and confirmed through email, but when I arrived, I was told I had to share for a night. I ended up finding another place to stay, so I didn’t have to share, but it was annoying.

The program was also poorly managed. Classes often started late because the teacher was late, and some classes were even canceled without any backup plans. When I gave feedback, some teachers took it seriously and made improvements, while others made me feel like a troublemaker, which was disappointing.

The food was good for the first week, but then it became repetitive. Also, be prepared for Thursday afternoons and Sundays off, as well as dealing with lots of mosquitoes.

Our Vinyasa teacher, Rahul Ji, was amazing. He had so much energy and was passionate about sharing his knowledge. His classes were my favorite. Ankit Ji’s alignment classes were clear and detailed, and he made sure we understood everything. I liked how he added some theory to his practical classes. Aylan Ji taught us Pranayama, and her classes were well-delivered. Her journey in yoga was also inspiring. Durgesh Ji’s meditation classes were exceptional. They were well-structured, explained, and enjoyable.

We had different teachers for Meditation, Alignment, Pranayama, and Ashtanga, which was a great way to experience different teaching styles.

We stayed at Puri Suksma, which was a lovely place surrounded by nature. There were visits from monkeys and squirrels, and I saw different types of ants and butterflies. It felt like living in a National Geographic documentary.

I met incredible people from all over the world and learned so much from them. Completing this program helped me make new friends, become more aware of my body, discover new aspects of myself, and become a better yoga practitioner. I’m truly grateful for that.

I really wish the school would provide coffee for our afternoon/before lunch class. It would help with the tiredness from our morning exercises and improve our concentration. I love how this experience brings me back to simplicity, especially in terms of my mind, expectations, resources, food, and finding relaxing spots.

I’m so grateful for all the hard work and preparation the teachers have put into this. I learned so much from Rahul Ji and Ankit Ji’s yoga asanas, Aylan Ji’s teaching on different breathing techniques, and Durgesh Ji’s meditation sessions. It feels like I’ve been here for a long time and I don’t want to leave.

It was difficult finding it, but there are actually two locations for Bali Yoga School. One is for teacher training and the other is Dewa’s place, which offers short retreats. So, make sure you ask for directions.
I personally stayed at the retreat for 7 days and let me tell you, Dewa and his wife were exceptional hosts. They went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. The guest house was absolutely charming, and the pool was delightful. If that’s not enough, Mini’s invigorating massages and the perfect yoga sessions led by Cynthia and Armin were just icing on the cake. Truly, if you’re in need of a break from all the chaos, this place has got it all.

I can’t express how much I’ve learned and how grateful I am for the instructors and host!

Hier erfährst du alles fürs Leben in einer großzügig angelegten Anlage mit schönen Zimmern, freundlichen Menschen, köstlichem Essen und guter Betreuung. Wir beraten dich auch in allen Lebenslagen.

The accommodation is located in Ubud, but to get to the center or a proper supermarket, you usually need a taxi because the accommodation is slightly secluded. The teachers were awesome, they were passionate about everything. The single rooms were spacious and generous, with their own shower and toilet, which were cleaned daily by the staff. The food was always punctual and served with love, mostly vegan and gluten-free 🙂

We just completed the 200-hour TT with Bali Yoga School, which is associated with the Himalayan Yoga Association in Rishikesh, India. We were looking for a yoga school that could give us authentic knowledge of yoga, and the teaching staff at this school did an incredible job of doing just that throughout the course.

Every day, we would start our mornings with Shatkarama (cleansing process), followed by Ashtanga yoga led by the fantastic teacher Pradeep ji. He has extensive knowledge of yoga anatomy and alignment, and his expertise in yoga science was evident in the instructions we received during our time at the school. Over the four weeks, we learned three new asanas each day and gradually progressed through the Primary series of Ashtanga Yoga.

The best part of the day was the meditation and philosophy sessions, taught by the humble Johsan ji. He covered in-depth topics with a lighthearted approach, making it easy for all of us to understand.

Cinthia’s Vinyasa flow classes were also great. She provided valuable information on sequencing and teaching cues, and most importantly, she encouraged everyone to teach, which made the practical assessment component of the training much more enjoyable.

Our rooms were equipped with hot water, air conditioning, a communal pool, and a study area for our night-time sessions. The food, provided by a caterer organized by the yoga school, was overall great, especially the breakfast. All meals were vegetarian and gluten-free.

In conclusion, it’s a fantastic school! – Minal and Hesh

The food was good, but as a vegan, I sometimes had limited choices. Towards the end of the course, they started understanding how to improve our food options. I hope they take that knowledge on board for the benefit of future vegan students. By the way, I’m actually English, not from the States.

I was impressed by how adaptable the teachers were to our requests for altered schedules that suited our needs. Dewa did a fantastic job organizing our Sunday sightseeing trips, making our stay even more memorable in many ways. Their philosophy was to ensure we had an amazing experience. I also have to mention Cynthia, our Ashtanga flow teacher – she was awesome! She had incredible knowledge, was approachable, and made the classes so much fun!

I didn’t really dislike anything specific, just that everyone else was surprised when they saw me at the yoga retreat. Turns out I was the only one there for a yoga retreat while everyone else was doing yoga teacher training. But despite that, I had a great time because I stayed positive and had a thirst for learning. The staff at Bali Yoga School really left an impression on me – they were incredibly polite and helpful. They made me feel so welcome. And let me tell you, even though I’m not a vegan, the food they served at every meal was absolutely delicious. The fruits were sweet and the other dishes had these cool, catchy names.

I found everything great! The teachers were amazing and kept us engaged. They gave us good alignment tips and fostered a strong sense of confidence within the group. The facilities were nice, and there was a great sense of community.

The instructors were really nice and had a positive approach. I learned a lot in just two weeks. The classes flowed smoothly and we enjoyed longer breaks to rest and relax between lunch and the next class. I highly recommend this place and the people who work there. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing. I will definitely come back for classes when I’m in Bali. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

The place had a construction site going on, but they offered a single yoga class every day. The atmosphere was filled with good energy and they made everyone feel welcomed.

There is nothing at all.

N.A. Himalayan Yoga Association gives you a comprehensive and thorough teaching manual. You can watch our pre-recorded training videos whenever and wherever you want, at your own speed. Our daily zoom live classes help us grasp different yoga topics better, and we can ask the teachers to clear up any doubts we have. I really hope to visit Rishikesh someday. I’m grateful for this amazing course. A big shout-out to Saumya-ji.

Honestly, I liked everything. The food was nice and as a vegetarian, I didn’t feel like I needed anything else, just an espresso for a pick-me-up. The place was so peaceful and I loved it. The teachers were amazing and I learned a lot from Shanti Ji, Ida Ji, and Niki Ji. I am so grateful to have met these beautiful souls in my life and Dewa Ji made me feel at home. I am 100% happy with my experience and all my memories with Bali Yoga School will always hold a special place in my heart. I wish I could stay longer. Wishing you all the best. Thank you.

Since I’m not a vegetarian, I felt a lack of protein in the meals. It wasn’t enough for the physical effort required, and as a result, I personally lost a lot of weight, which is not positive in my case.

They should clean the rooms better, especially the areas with insects.

I would have loved to stay longer, but I will definitely come back. ??

The place is beautiful, the schedule is perfect, and the food is amazing.

The teachers are simply incredible. They made me feel comfortable right away, and despite their young age, you can tell they have a perfect mastery of their work, whether in theory or in practice. Neelam Ji is funny and passionate. Durgesh Ji is calm and soothing. Rahul Ji is very professional and patient, and lastly, Ankit Ji, my favorite teacher, is entertaining and challenging. He brings a breath of fresh air to the classroom. Thank you all four for your kindness, patience, and the passion you put into your work. I won’t hesitate to have the same experience with the same teachers again. ❤️?

Mosquitoes evolved there. You better bring long yoga pants for class because spray won’t help much ? I love the alignment, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga classes a lot. Ankit ji and Rahul ji are both very professional and knowledgeable. They’ve exceeded my expectations in teaching. Special thanks to Durgesh ji and Dewa ji for taking good care of all students. The accommodation was lovely and all the staff were so welcoming. I especially loved the local family living next to us. I felt like a local while traveling. It was my first time trying a vegetarian diet, but the food was delicious with various options. It actually helped in lowering my fat and building muscle. Overall, it was an incredible experience for me. I had a really fun and nice time with Bali yoga school.

I loved my time here and I’m forever thankful for everything I learned. The teachers here are so knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely caring. It really felt like being with family. This place is absolutely beautiful and it’s the perfect space to truly connect with yourself. I was able to meditate peacefully and go even deeper with the guidance and energy from the teachers. If you’re still on the fence about coming here and experiencing the pureness, connectedness, and intrinsic well-being of your mind, body, and soul, please go for it. I wholeheartedly recommend it and I hope you make it. 🙂

The school delivered a very poor level of teaching and lacked organization and professionalism. The classes provided did not add up to 200 hours, and the tutors were consistently late, which demotivated the students. Some classes were even cancelled due to rain, further reducing the hours. We were not adequately taught how to teach yoga, with only 2 sequencing lessons. Surprisingly, we were not assessed on our teaching skills.

Despite missing numerous classes, many students still passed and became “qualified yoga teachers.” The school had multiple teacher changes without any warning or explanation. I witnessed a student sobbing because she had complained to management about a tutor.

This school not only offers a poor experience for its students, who pay a significant amount of money, but it is also potentially dangerous as it qualifies people who are not ready to teach yoga.

Overall, I strongly believe this school is simply set up to make money. It was difficult to find anything to like about it as almost every aspect was a disappointment. The only positives were the nice pool at the accommodation and the helpful manager. However, our rooms had a lot of mold, and some clothes were affected too. The manager promptly got them cleaned, but it was still an inconvenience.

The Anatomy and Philosophy classes lack organization. I can easily find clearer information on Google and YouTube compared to what the teacher tells us. They barely mention anything about the 5 Kleshas in their notes, but I can find all the information I need on the website. They also only briefly touch on the 7 chakras.

One of our meditation teachers suddenly disappeared and only left a message on WhatsApp. We had to rely on another teacher for updates without any official notice.

I came to Bali to learn how to be a teacher, but we didn’t have enough time for teaching practice. We didn’t come here to just practice yoga, as we could do that back in our home countries. The school should provide opportunities for us to practice teaching, not just practice yoga.

The school grouped students from the 100 hours, 200 hours, 300 hours, and 500 hours courses together, and we all learned almost the same thing. They should separate us into different classes based on our yoga level.

It’s disorganized, and what I’ve learned is not enough to become a teacher. The lead trainer is unable to effectively guide the course.

The food offered at the school is repetitive and lacks variety.

Ankit and Rahul, despite being young, have a strong passion for teaching. Rahul, in particular, is willing to spend extra time teaching students advanced poses.

Thankfully, I found another place to stay for that night and didn’t have to share. Still, I wasn’t happy about the mix-up.

The program was also poorly managed. Classes often started late because the teacher was late, and some classes were even cancelled without any backup plans due to teacher illness or bad weather. When I gave my feedback, some teachers took it seriously and made improvements, but others made me feel like I was causing trouble. I didn’t appreciate that.

The food was good at first, but it became repetitive after a week. Expect to have Thursday afternoons and Sundays off, but be prepared for a lot of mosquitoes.

Our Vinyasa teacher, Rahul Ji, was amazing. He had so much energy and was really passionate about sharing his knowledge of yoga. I loved his classes. We also learned a lot about traditional adjustment techniques from him, which was really fun to try on each other. Ankit Ji’s alignment classes were clear and detailed, and he always made sure we understood everything. I liked how he added some theory to his practical Ashtanga classes. Aylan Ji taught us Pranayama and her classes were delivered beautifully. Her journey in yoga was very inspiring. Durgesh Ji’s meditation classes were exceptional. They were well-structured, explained thoroughly, and really enjoyable.

It was great to have different teachers for Meditation, Alignment, Pranayama, and Ashtanga. It gave us the opportunity to experience different teaching styles.

We stayed at Puri Suksma, which was surrounded by nature. It was a beautiful place to practice and study yoga. We even had visits from monkeys and squirrels. I saw so many different types of ants and butterflies, it felt like living in a National Geographic documentary.

I met some amazing people from all over the world and learned so much from them. Completing this program helped me make new friends, become more aware of my body, discover new aspects of myself, and become a better yoga practitioner. I’m truly grateful for this experience.

I wish the school would provide coffee for afternoon/before lunch class. It would help with the tiredness from morning exercises and improve concentration. I love how this experience makes everything feel simpler – the mind, expectations, resources, and especially food and relaxing locations. I really appreciate all the hard work and preparation the teachers have put in. I had a great time learning Yoga Asanas from Rahul Ji and Ankit Ji, Types of Breathing from Aylan Ji, and Meditation from Durgesh Ji. It feels like I’ve been here for a while and I don’t want to leave.

Finding Bali yoga school was difficult because it has two different locations. One is for teacher training and the other is Dewa’s place, which is for short retreats. So, make sure you ask for directions. I stayed at Dewa’s retreat for seven days and I have to say, he and his wife were absolutely amazing hosts. They were always ready to help and nothing was too much trouble for them. The guest house was charming and the pool was lovely. The massages by Mini were so refreshing and the yoga classes led by Cynthia and Armin were just perfect. If you’re in need of a break from all the chaos, this place has everything you need.

I can’t believe how much I learned; I’m so grateful for the instructors and host!

This place has generous facilities with beautiful rooms, friendly people, delicious food, excellent support, and advises in all life situations. You really learn for life here!

The location of the accommodation is in Ubud, but to get to the center or a proper supermarket, you usually need a taxi because the accommodation is somewhat secluded. The teachers were super, they were dedicated to everything, and the single rooms with their own shower and toilet were spacious and generous, which the staff cleaned daily. The food was always served on time and lovingly prepared, mostly vegan and gluten-free 🙂

Minal and Hesh, we just completed the 200hour TT with Bali Yoga school, which is associated with the Himalayan Yoga Association in Rishikesh, India. We were on the lookout for a yoga school that could provide us with genuine knowledge of yoga, and the teaching staff truly surpassed our expectations.

Every day, we would kick-start our mornings with Shatkarama (cleansing process), followed by Ashtanga yoga taught by an incredible teacher named Pradeep ji. He possesses in-depth knowledge of yoga anatomy and alignment. His expertise in yoga science was clearly apparent in the instructions he gave us throughout our time at the school. Over the four weeks, we learned three new asanas every day and gradually progressed through the Primary series of Ashtanga Yoga.

The highlight of our day was the meditation and philosophy sessions with Johsan ji. He is such a humble individual who taught us profound subjects with a touch of lightheartedness, making it easy for all of us to comprehend.

Cinthia’s Vinyasa flow classes were fantastic. She provided us with valuable information on sequencing and teaching cues. Most importantly, she encouraged all of us to teach, which made the practical assessment part of the Training much more enjoyable.

Our rooms were equipped with hot water, air conditioning, and a communal pool. We also had a designated study area for nighttime studying. The food, catered by a professional arranged by the yoga school, was exceptional. The vegetarian and gluten-free meals, especially breakfast, were great.

Overall, this school is outstanding!

The food at the course was good, but as a vegan, I sometimes had limited choices. However, towards the end, they began to understand how they could improve our food options. Hopefully, they will take this knowledge on board for the benefit of future vegan students. By the way, I’m actually from England, not the States. ?

I was impressed by the teachers’ adaptability in adjusting the schedules to suit our needs. Dewa, who organized our Sunday sightseeing trips, did a great job. He went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable in various ways. Their main goal was to provide us with an amazing experience. I also want to mention Cynthia, our Ashtanga flow teacher. She was awesome – incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and lots of fun. ?
