200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Bali

No. You do not need an advanced practice to join the 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training. What matters is that you have a sincere personal practice and a genuine desire to learn. Students arrive at very different levels and all are met where they are. We recommend around six months of regular practice before joining a teacher training course. If you have been practicing consistently, you are ready.

Yes. Life gets in the way of practice for most people at some point. If you have a foundation in yoga and feel ready to commit to three weeks of full immersion, that is enough. The training itself will rebuild and deepen your practice in ways that a regular class schedule rarely allows. Speak to us before you book if you have concerns — we will give you an honest answer.

Not at all. Many students arrive with a background in Hatha, Ashtanga, Kundalini or other styles. The Vinyasa taught on this training is accessible and progressive and you will build your understanding from a solid foundation regardless of your background. Your experience in other styles is an asset, not a disadvantage.

We believe yoga meets everyone where they are. Modifications are always welcomed and our teachers are experienced in working with a wide range of physical needs. Yoga Alliance requires 100% attendance for certification, but if you really feel you can't practice on certain days due to injury, we ask you to attend and observe — you will still learn a great deal by watching the teacher. Please let us know about any injuries when you book so we can prepare properly for your arrival.

The training is approximately 60% Vinyasa and 40% Yin. Some subjects such as anatomy, Traditional Chinese Medicine and philosophy are taught as shared modules that inform both styles equally. As the training progresses there are more Vinyasa asana clinics, practice teaching sessions and sequencing classes. The Yin component goes equally deep and you will leave with a complete and confident foundation in both.

Not only do you leave certified in both Vinyasa and Yin (most schools certify in one style only) — our five teachers are seasoned specialists who have spent years mastering their subjects, each teaching exclusively in their own area. In a group of 18 you receive genuine individual attention and feedback that simply cannot happen in larger groups. What perhaps sets us apart most is the emotional support throughout the experience and ongoing care after graduation.

The 200 Hour is the global standard for becoming a certified yoga teacher and the foundation of everything we teach. The 300 Hour Advanced training is for teachers who have already completed their 200 Hour certification and are ready to go deeper into advanced sequencing, adjustments, cueing, energetics and philosophy. Combined with your 200 Hour certification, the 300 Hour moves you toward RYT 500 status with Yoga Alliance.

Days begin early with meditation and pranayama followed by morning asana practice and breakfast. Mid morning brings lectures on philosophy, anatomy or Traditional Chinese Medicine. After lunch there is another lecture or workshop before the afternoon moves into Yin practice or teaching labs. Rest time is built into every day. Evenings close with reflection, journaling or community time together. There are three full days off during the training plus regular scheduled downtime built into every week.

Every training is capped at 18 students. This is a deliberate decision that shapes everything about the experience. Smaller groups mean more individual feedback, more time with teachers, more genuine connection with your fellow yoga students and a learning environment where nobody gets lost.

Yes but not the kind that should worry you. The written exam is designed to help you see what you have absorbed and where you might want to focus more attention. You will be guided on what to study and the process is as much for your own reflection as it is for certification. It is not about performance — it is about understanding.

We call it a celebration class for a reason. By the time you reach your final teaching assessment in week three your sequence is planned, your cues are practiced and you have had full support and feedback from your teachers throughout the process. You teach in a small group setting and you are allowed to have notes with you. The atmosphere is supportive, not pressured. Almost every student finishes their celebration class feeling elated and surprised by how much they were ready for it.

The 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Bali is fully residential and all-inclusive. Everything from accommodation and meals to airport pickup and 1 or 2 nights pre-training accommodation is in one price. Early Bird pricing starts from $2,750 when you pay your $500 deposit at least 3 months before your start date. The normal rate starts from $3,250. Full pricing across all room types is on our dates and pricing page. We are also happy to discuss flexible payment plans — contact us and we will work something out.

Yes. Graduates receive Yoga Alliance certification and can register immediately as RYT 200 and are qualified to teach professionally in studios, retreats, online or independently anywhere in the world. You will also leave with dual certification in both Vinyasa and Yin, giving you a more versatile and complete teaching toolkit than most 200 Hour graduates.

Your relationship with Inner Yoga does not end when the training does. We are happy to help you plan your first classes, think through your teaching schedule and work out how to bring what you have learned into your life back home. We also know that reintegrating after a transformative experience can sometimes be challenging. If you find yourself struggling emotionally or with the transition, we are here for those conversations too. You will also become part of our alumni community — a network of graduates from around the world who continue to support each other long after the training ends.

Completely. Many of our students arrive in Bali for the first time and that is something we take seriously. Your airport pickup is included and your driver will meet you on arrival and take you directly to Azadi Retreat. We include 1 to 2 nights pre-training accommodation, so you arrive settled before the program begins. The team at Azadi Retreat are warm, attentive and always available. You will not be left to navigate anything alone.

Every month we welcome students from all over the world, many of whom speak English as a second language. The training is delivered in English but our teachers are experienced at teaching to international groups and always encourage students to ask if something is unclear. José, one of our lead teachers, is a native Spanish speaker himself and understands exactly what it is like to learn and teach in a second language. You are not alone in this and you will not be left behind because of language.
