Outstanding teachers

The teachers are dedicated and accomplished yogis/yoginis. They all have a solid background in yoga and meditation, and regular personal practice. They will share their diverse gifts and skills with you from an authentic and heart-centered place of service.

A venue created by practitioners for practitioners

This beautiful venue, Samyama Mindfulness Meditation Center, was born out of a desire for authenticity and a love of non-dual teachings. Meditation and inner work were the seeds. Love and a dedication to service helped to water this dream. The facilities have been purposefully designed to support deep transformation, healing, and integration.

The unique location is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by jungle and rice fields in a tropical paradise. It is only a 5-minute drive to town but you will feel far away from the hustle and bustle.

Amazing healthy meals

Eat.Co Bali is all about wholesome, fresh, colorful, plant-based food made from scratch right here in our compassionate kitchen. They offer predominantly organic, locally sourced food and care deeply about the planet and all life forms on it.

Carefree, all-inclusive packages

From the moment you step off the plane in Bali, our friendly and trustworthy drivers will be there to greet you and transport you to Samyama. You will feel supported by a plant-based diet, designed especially for this journey.

Samyama’s massage therapist, steam sauna, ice bath, and other Healing Center perks are available when you need some extra care. The staff and teachers take pride in the warm family vibe you create, where everyone feels well taken care of.

The yoga capital of the world

Ubud, Bali has become one of the top destinations for yoga and spirituality. The local Balinese Hindu’s live their practice through a strong belief in karma and acts of devotion - offering to the gods on a daily basis. Ubud translates into 'medicine' and has always been a holy center for healing and purifying. It is hard not to feel the strong, yet nourishing energy - like a warm embrace - from mama Bali.

One-on-one attention

Everyone has their own unique journey with yoga and meditation. It’s not a one-size-fits-all kind of practice. Dijan values the importance of one-on-one attention by keeping the group small, offering each student a teacher/mentor they can go to with questions, and creating a buddy system.

Meditation initiations

Each week you will be taken into the depths of a different and potent meditation technique by our empowered teachers. Daily practice of each technique will help you discover which form of meditation works for you best and give you the ability to guide your future students.

Styles of yoga

You will be trained in major, classical poses of hatha yoga obtaining a thorough understanding of their physical, energetic, emotional, mental and spiritual effects. Additionally, MYTTC focuses on Vinyasa, Restorative, and Yin practices of yoga with a great emphasis on Tantra yoga addressing the subtle energetic and spiritual effects of the practice.

Anatomy and physiology

They want you to have a good understanding of the anatomy and physiology of your bodies without getting overwhelmed by medical words alone. The expert teachers will create immersions into anatomy, physiology, and Ayurveda - the sister science of yoga - for you to explore yoga's effects and functioning in our being from a scientific perspective.

Kriya techniques

Dijan will teach and practice together selected techniques from the shat karma kriya system. This will assist your bodies in the purification processes that occur during intensive yoga and meditation practice. These techniques are gems that you will want to share with your students.

Teaching and professional skills

Dijan loves sharing their passion for this path. They want you to develop all of the required teaching skills; from making adjustments/corrections to giving effective discourses to tuning into the needs of the individual and the group. They would also like to broaden your vision on how to make teaching yoga and meditation your profession.

Philosophy and history

Besides the core texts of yoga philosophy such as the yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the Bhagavad Gita, Dijan will introduce tantric texts such as the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, teachings from Advaita Vedanta and more. There are so many beautiful and accessible texts that inform and inspire meditation practice.
