Beginning with one of Ubud’s best, Zuna Yoga operates from a variety of locations in Indonesia, including The Yoga Shala Bali; however, yearning for their own place to call ‘home,’ the individuals behind Zuna Yoga are opening their own private venue in March 2020. Both their current and soon-to-be venues are stunning, surrounded by rice paddies and the biodiversity that this island has to offer.

Program: Zuna Yoga offers 200-, 300-, and 500-hour yoga teacher training courses. Offered year-round, the 21-day, 200-hour program includes accommodation, three vegetarian meals daily, water, teas, group airport transfer, a course manual, and tuition.


What We Like:
The new Zuna Yoga property boasts jungle views from every room. Brand new, the space is clean, comfortable, and breathtaking. We love the large yoga studio with its foldable glass windows that open the space up entirely to the lush green environments that surround it.


Cost:
All-inclusive prices for 2019 training in Ubud start at $4375 USD, though if you join them in September in Gili Meno, prices start at $3650 USD.

Trainings at Yoga East + West are truly holistic, including instruction from one master teacher from India and one teacher from a Western city. Offered at their beautiful modern yoga resort in Ubud, Bali, training programs here are both luxurious and authentic. Their philosophy is ‘spiritual not religious,’ providing a truly non-denominational teaching of this ancient practice.

Program: The 200-hour program here is a combination of Hatha and modern Vinyasa teachings. The course includes three meals from Monday to Saturday, 21 nights of accommodation, certification upon completion, a training manual, evening meditation classes, a ‘Business of Yoga’ video training module, and one massage.

What We Like:
The approach to the trainings here is truly balanced, as suggested by their name. By weaving modern science of physiotherapy into these ancient teachings, and by coming from a non-dogmatic lens, the program helps modern day yogis to understand how these ancient practices are deeply interwoven into who we are as a collective today.

Cost: Book early and fees start at $3950 USD. After the early-bird pricing, the rate starts at $4350 USD.

All Yoga has been operating for ten years, offering courses in both Indonesia and Thailand. Their Indonesian offering is located on Nusa Lembongan, a small island southeast of Bali. The yoga studio is right on Jungut Batu beach, making for incredible views and ocean sounds throughout practice.

Program: The 200-hour Vinyasa Ashtanga yoga teacher training course at All Yoga is 23 days in length.  The program includes all the fundamentals required for Yoga Alliance certification, training materials, and free accommodation in a local guesthouse for the first ten participants to join each course. They do not offer accommodation on-site, though can recommend places to stay nearby if you are not one of the first to get complimentary accommodation.

What We Like: The laidback vibe of Nusa Lembongan is certainly worthy of a yoga teacher training school. Just a small step (or boat ride) away from the more conventional routes through Bali, this paradise island is a tranquil place to rest while diving into the world of yoga teaching.

Cost:
The early-bird price starts at $2950 USD, available to those who book at least three months in advance. The regular price begins at $3650 USD.

Gili Yoga is located on the small island of Gili Trawangan, between Bali and Lombok. They offer both yoga and freediving here, holding space for deep descents both literally and figuratively.

What We Like:
Their in-house cinema screens nightly movies, and food and drink while the film rolls are served from their restaurant. Sip on kombucha or from a fresh coconut while you relax into the night with a shared movie experience.

Cost:
At time of writing, the conversion rate saw this program starting at $2243 USD for the early-bird fare. After access to this fare expires, the rate begins at $2594 USD for the course with accommodation in the luxury dorm.

The Yoga Barn is one of Ubud’s most well-established retreat and training centers.

Power of Now Oasis is located in the oceanside town of Sanur. The bamboo studio maintains views of the ocean, making this teacher training center a true paradise for those seeking out sun and sand alongside their next teacher training course. The laidback vibes of the space add to the ‘home-away-from-home’ feel that this sanctuary is imbued with.

Program: The 200-hour program is offered every second month. This one-month intensive is a Vinyasa Hatha yoga teacher training course that is certified through Yoga Alliance. When you book, you’ll have the option to pay for solely the tuition, meaning meals and accommodation will have to be sorted out separately. For those that want to include a little more than the basics, the package price includes the course, accommodation, and daily breakfast.

What We Like:
Power of Now Oasis supports the local community by donating much of their profits to children’s foundations and local causes. They support the Jodie O’Shea Orphanage, Sari Hati (providing free schooling to children and young adults with disabilities), and Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.

Cost:
If you want to book tuition alone, prices start at $2600 USD for early-birds. For packages inclusive of accommodation and breakfast, rates begin at $3350 per person if sharing a room with another student (and if you are early enough to catch the early-bird price).

Serenity Yoga Lembongan is another yoga paradise on the small island of Nusa Lembongan. To compliment the land’s small size, this yoga center keeps its teacher training programs intimate, accommodating up to ten students at a time. In addition to the standard 200-hour training course, they also offer 300-hour programs and a 50-hour yin yoga teacher training course.

Program: The 200-hour program is held over the course of 30 days. They take a multi-disciplinary approach, incorporating elements of Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Fly High Yoga, and SUP yoga. The program fee includes tuition only; meals and accommodation must be arranged separately. The studio works with Puri Kirana Bungalows and other local establishments and home stays to help students secure a reasonable monthly rate.

What We Like:
Nusa Lembongan is laidback. Just 30 minutes by boat from Bali, this little island is not quite as busy as the Bali hotspots but it still offers enough amenities to keep us intrigued. It definitely has a surf vibe, so for those interested in improving their surf skills in between yoga practices would benefit from the best of both worlds.

Cost:
The price of joining this 200-hour yoga teacher training course is $2900 USD.
