Online yoga teacher training course for Hatha, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga yoga styles, completed at your own pace in 100 hours.

This yoga retreat wasn’t what I expected. I stayed in a room at a yoga school where I could attend classes with the 300h TTC group. It made everyone – the students, teachers, and myself – uncomfortable. The 4 of us signed up for the retreat without any check-in, introductions, schedule, or dedicated teachers. Instead, we were expected to join classes where others were training to become teachers. I’m already a teacher and was hoping to attend intermediate or advanced classes, or at least tailored sessions for our group. Despite the great traditional yoga school, nice facilities, and good management, the lack of proper advertising for the “retreat” was disappointing.

I didn’t have any specific dislikes, but the other attendees were really surprised to see me there. I was the only one doing a yoga retreat, while everyone else was doing yoga teacher training. Despite that, I had a great time because I approached everything with a positive attitude and a desire to learn. The staff at Bali Yoga School really impressed me with their politeness and helpfulness. They made me feel incredibly welcome. I’m not even vegan, but I adored the food they served at every meal. The fruits were incredibly sweet and the other dishes were bursting with flavor and had fun, catchy names.

I found everything to be quite impressive! The teachers were amazing and really kept us engaged. They also gave us some great alignment tips and helped us build our confidence as a group. Plus, the facilities were nice and the sense of community was fantastic.

The instructors at this place are very nice and have a positive approach. I learned a lot in just two weeks. The classes flowed smoothly and we had nice long breaks between lunch and the next class to rest or relax. I highly recommend this place and the people working there. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. It’s such a peaceful and relaxing place. If I’m ever in Bali again, I will definitely come back for another class. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

The place had a construction site going on, but they still managed to hold one daily yoga class. The atmosphere was filled with good energy and they made everyone feel welcome.

There’s nothing at all.

Himalayan Yoga Association offers a comprehensive teaching manual that provides you with everything you need. You can watch the pre-recorded training videos whenever and wherever you want, at your own speed. The daily zoom live classes are really helpful for understanding different aspects of yoga, and you can ask the teachers any questions you may have. I really want to visit Rishikesh one day. Thanks a lot for the fantastic course, and a special 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 more (just espresso?). I loved the place. It was so peaceful. My experience with the teachers was amazing. I learned a lot from Shanti ji, Ida ji, and Niki ji. I’m 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 the memories I made at Bali Yoga School will stay in my heart forever. I wish I could stay longer. Wishing you all the best. Thank you ???.

I’m not a vegetarian, so 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 for me.

The rooms should be cleaned better, especially the areas with insects.

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

The place is gorgeous, the schedule is perfect, and the food is beautiful and delicious.

The teachers are simply incredible. They made me feel comfortable right away, and despite their young ages, they clearly master their work, whether it’s in theory or practice. Neelam Ji, funny and passionate. Durgesh Ji, calm and soothing. Rahul Ji, very professional and patient. And lastly, my favorite teacher, Ankit Ji, fun and challenging, a breath of fresh air in the classroom. Thank you to all four of you 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, so be sure to bring long yoga pants for class because spray won’t be very effective ? I really loved the alignment, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga classes. Ankit ji and Rahul ji are both highly professional and knowledgeable. They exceeded my expectations in their teachings. 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 enjoyed being close to a local family, as it made me feel like a true local. This was also my first time trying a vegetarian diet, and the food was so delicious with a variety of options. It really helped me lower my fat and build muscle. Overall, it was an incredible experience for me. I had a blast and a fantastic time with Bali Yoga School.

I loved my time here and I’m forever grateful for everything I learned. The teachers at this place are incredibly knowledgeable, super helpful, and have such good hearts. It honestly felt like being with family.
This space is just so beautiful and it allows you to truly connect with yourself. I was able to meditate peacefully and go deeper thanks to the guidance and energy of the teachers.
If you’re still hesitating about coming here and experiencing the pureness, connectedness of mind, body, and soul, and the intrinsic well-being, I really encourage you to go. I wholeheartedly recommend it and I hope you make it!

The school was a mess, completely disorganized and unprofessional. The level of teaching was nowhere near what you would expect from a 200 hour qualification. They kept changing tutors five times throughout the course, and these tutors were young and inexperienced when it came to teaching teachers. On top of that, they would always show up late, causing the students to be late as well. The management of this school is just plain unprofessional! They didn’t even bother to have an exam on how to actually teach yoga. The so-called yoga classes were just that – yoga classes, not lessons on how to deliver a class as a teacher.

The food at this school was beyond terrible. Some students even missed quite a few classes and still managed to get a certificate at the end of the course! They claim to include excursions in your package, but they’re not where they’re advertised on the website, and you have to pay for them separately. It’s clear that this school is all about making money and not about educating or ensuring a high standard of teaching.

The owner, let me tell you, is absolutely useless and impossible to approach. They spent way too much time with one particular student, which makes you question their credibility as a yoga teacher or even as a professional manager of a yoga school. On a positive note, Ubud is a lovely place to visit. Despite all the problems, Durgesh, Dewa, Ankit, and Rahul were wonderful people who did their best to fix the many issues this school has.

The Anatomy and Philosophy classes are not well organized. I can just Google the information and watch YouTube videos, which are even clearer than what the teacher explains. For example, their notes on the 5 Kleshas can easily be found on a website, and they only mention very little about the 7 chakras.

One of the meditation teachers suddenly disappeared and just left a message through WhatsApp. We only found out from another teacher, without any official notice. There’s no contingency plan or backup if a teacher gets sick. They just expect the students to self-study. What would happen if the teacher is sick for a few days?

They changed the pranayama teacher in the middle of the course, and then changed again. There was no communication between those 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 could do that in our home country. The school should provide guidance on how to teach yoga so that students can practice teaching, not just practice yoga themselves.

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

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

The food options were almost the same and lacked variety.

Ankit and Rahul – they 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, tried 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. It seemed like the focus of the course was more on self-development rather than teaching others.

There were some communication issues right from the start. I had booked private accommodation and confirmed it via email, but when I arrived, I was told I had to share for a night. I ended up finding another place to stay for that night and didn’t have to share, but I wasn’t happy about the mix-up.

The program also seemed to be poorly managed. Classes often started late because the teacher showed up late, and some classes were cancelled without any backup plans due to teacher illness or bad weather. When I gave feedback, some teachers took it seriously and made improvements, while 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. Just be prepared for Thursday afternoons and Sundays off, as well as dealing with a lot of mosquitoes.

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

It was interesting to have different teachers for Meditation, Alignment, Pranayama, and Ashtanga. It allowed us to experience different teaching styles.

We stayed at Puri Suksma, which was a beautiful place surrounded by nature. We had some interesting encounters with monkeys, squirrels, and various types of insects. It felt like living in a National Geographic documentary.

I met some amazing people from all over the world during this program and learned so much from them. I made new friends and gained a greater awareness of my body. I discovered new aspects of myself and became a better yoga practitioner. I’m really 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 brings me back to simplicity – simplicity of the mind, expectations, resources, especially when it comes to food and relaxing locations.

I really appreciate all the hard work and preparation the teachers have put in. I’ve had great learning experiences with Rahul Ji and Ankit Ji in Yoga Asanas, Aylan Ji in Types of Breathing, and Durgesh Ji in Meditation. It feels like I’ve been here for a long time and I don’t want to leave.

Finding Bali yoga school was difficult – there are actually two locations. One is for teacher training, and the other is Dewa’s place for short retreats. So, be sure to ask for directions. I stayed at the retreat for 7 days and let me tell you, Dewa and his wife were amazing hosts. They made sure that you never had any worries. The guest house was absolutely charming, with a wonderful pool to relax in. The massages by Mini were so invigorating, and Cynthia and Armin’s yoga sessions were just perfect. If you’re craving a break from the chaos, this place has all the right ingredients.

I can’t believe how much I learned from the instructors and host! I am overflowing with gratitude for them!

Nothing. I’m satisfied with everything. We had a small group, excellent teaching, accommodations reserved exclusively for students—so we formed a family, had meals together on site, and complete immersion.

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 a bit secluded. The teachers were super, they were dedicated to everything. The single rooms were spacious and generously sized, with their own shower and toilet, which were cleaned daily by the staff. The food was always served on time and lovingly prepared, mostly vegan and gluten-free. 🙂

We just finished our 200-hour TT with the 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 did an incredible job of delivering that throughout the course.

Our days would start with Shatkarama (cleansing process) followed by Ashtanga yoga led by the fantastic teacher, Pradeep ji. He has a deep understanding of yoga anatomy and alignment, and his expertise was evident in the instructions we received. We learned three new asanas every day and gradually progressed through the Primary series of Ashtanga Yoga.

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

Cinthia’s Vinyasa flow class was also great. She shared valuable information on sequencing and teaching cues, and she encouraged everyone to teach, making 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 night-time. The food, provided by a caterer organized by the yoga school, was overall great, especially the vegetarian and gluten-free breakfasts.

Overall, it’s a fantastic school! Minal and Hesh

The food was good, and I never went hungry as a vegan. Sometimes, the choices were limited, but towards the end of the course, they began to understand how our food choices could be improved. I hope they take on board that knowledge so that future vegan students will benefit. By the way, I am actually English, not from the States.

I was impressed by the teachers’ adaptability to our requests for altered schedules to accommodate our needs. Dewa did a fantastic job organizing our Sunday sightseeing trips, making our stay memorable in many ways. Their philosophy was to ensure we had an amazing stay. I also have to mention Cynthia, our Ashtanga flow teacher. She was awesome – incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and so much fun!
