For one month, you will completely immerse yourself in the ancient arts of āsana, pranayama, meditation, and yoga philosophy. You will expand your heart, deepen your practice, and form bonds within and those around you that will last a lifetime. We will begin each day with a 2.5 hour practice including prānāyāma, meditation and āsana. The rest of the day will be spent learning from master teachers MC YOGI & Amanda Giacomini sharing from their 25 years of experience in fields on a variety of subjects–from āsana, to philosophy, to public speaking, to create the life and teacher you want for yourself. There will be a guest anatomy teacher that will share functional anatomy and how it relates to yoga and the body movements. There will be one day off per week for you to absorb the weeks teachings, relax, explore and do what is most nourishing for you. Our evening sessions will be candlelight yin with philosophy stories and some fun group activities that will have you smiling and feeling the love and magic in ways you never thought possible.

The Balinese culture complements a yoga lifestyle, the people in Bali live more in the present moment and it's such a peaceful place to be. The training will be held in the remote paradise location in West Bali. This tranquil area has the “old world” feel of Bali before it became popular with tourism. The resort is located on the edge of a natural volcanic black & gold-glittered sand beach surrounded by majestic cliffs. The expansive beautiful beach is safe and ideal for long walks especially during sunset or sunrise.

We choose this serene location at Balian (means healing) Beach for you to get away from distractions to connect to nature and completely immerse yourself for the whole month devoted to learning yoga to enrich your life.

Yes, You will have 1 day off per week that is free time to do what is most nourishing for you. You will also have meal times and breaks during each day of the training. The hotel is located right on the beach and these break times are perfect for a little beach walk or poolside chill.

You will receive a 200 Hour Certificate of Completion from Exhale Yoga Retreats. You may use this certificate to apply for certification with Yoga Alliance after the training for your RYT 200.

These clinics typically do not accept insurance (though you may be reimbursed through your insurance provider) and are relatively inexpensive. If situations require extreme medical emergency care, patients are evacuated to Singapore. Due to significant cost it is advisable to check this coverage is included on your medical plan.

Important warning

Due to the extreme nature of penalties in Indonesia we put an extra cautionary note, DO NOT bring any even “mild” drugs or narcotics into the country. Violators, even if they are not from Indonesia, are subject to life in a 3rd world prison and the death penalty, and the foreign governments can do very little about it: don’t take any risks.
