Program outline

Daily sadhana (yoga and meditation practice) includes both advanced Hatha yoga and pranayama, Yin yoga, and meditation, and there are morning and afternoon sessions. You will start off the day with the 6:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. morning sadhana, and dive in again in the afternoon from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Coursework to help guide and deepen our understanding takes place in the late morning and early afternoon, with a break to eat lunch and reflect on the teachings or sit in silence. Later in the course, there will be an opportunity for each student-teacher to guide a 15-minute session of meditation, with a focus on going inside, grounding, and relaxation.

Student teachers will also guide a one and a half hour Yin yoga class, working with postures on the floor, relaxation, and a short meditation at the end and a one and half hour advanced yoga and pranayama class, working with breath and energy-based Hatha yoga, pranayama, chakras, and mudras.

The training takes place at Samyama Meditation Center, Ubud, Bali. The lively city center is just a 20-minute walk away from Ubud and is the cultural hub and yoga capital of Bali. You will love this legendary exotic town, with its impressive traditional temples, art galleries, organic restaurants, colorful markets, massage parlors, and more.
