ABOUT THE TRAINING
For the whole-hearted, not the faint-hearted.
This yoga will change your life as you know it.

We know that true change begins within. And to share the impacts of that change effectively also requires knowledge and skill.
So we have designed this 30-day training to be an immersive process of personal transformation, self-discovery and leadership training, whilst simultaneously providing the highest professional standards of contemporary knowledge and learning across yoga, somatics, science and community work.
By the end of the training you will know yourself on whole new levels, and be equipped with the foundational knowledge and skills to share hatha yoga with your loved ones, in yoga studios and with a range of community groups (eg. refugees, youth, prison populations, mental health consumers). And you will be ready and impassioned to take inspired action for yourself and with others.

WHO IS THIS TRAINING FOR?
This is a yoga teacher training designed specifically for those who are ready for depth, transformation, and authenticity, and who want to share the benefits and love of yoga with knowledge and skill.
By joining our training, you’ll also get to pay it forward: 25% of profits from our trainings goes directly to community based yoga programs around the world.
It is ideal for:
- committed students of yoga ready to take the next step, and with a desire to make a difference in the world and their own communities;
- community and health professionals looking to learn and integrate the practices of yoga and somatic-based movement skillfully into their work.
If you are not interested in ‘teaching’ yoga, but you feel drawn to the course and would love a deep and committed dive for your own practice, knowledge and transformation, you are very welcome to apply. We have also seen that participating in the ‘teaching’ aspects of the training is alone a rich practice for personal transformation and growth, even if sharing yoga publicly is not your ultimate goal.
Please note this is not a program for personal therapy.

We offer four tuition adjustments of $500 for eligible program applicants on low income (off the early bird or full rate, depending on when you apply). If you would like to apply, please tick the appropriate box in your application form, and we will send you the additional tuition adjustment form after we receive your program application.

DAILY SCHEDULE
The training runs 6 days per week, with one full day off each week for rest and integration.
The daily program is comprehensive but certainly not designed to ‘break’ participants. We try to find a balance between dedication and self-care. We finish before it gets dark so that you can enjoy sunset at the beach or an early dinner and rest.
Sample daily schedule* is:
7-9.30am Morning practices (contemplation, pranayama, meditation, asana)
9.30-10.30am Brunch (included, onsite)
10.30-1pm Lecture/lab
1-3pm Afternoon break
3-6.15pm Lab/methodology/practicum + gentle movement practice
Occasional evening program (kirtan)
*May be subject to change

LOCATION, ACCOMMODATION & BALI INFO
All about our gorgeous location, where to stay, and getting around
[/et_pb_fullwidth_header][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.0.72″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.0.72″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.74″]
OUR LOCATION – BALI
We chose Bali as our training location as it’s a beautiful and accessible global haven for yoga, and some of our teachers live there or spend a lot of time there – so it’s a perfect place for us to give back to the local community, where we have been building local partnerships. It also provides opportunities for a rich cultural experience whilst still offering many of the comforts of home.
Penestanan is just on the outskirts of bustling tourist hub Ubud, still rich in local cultural life, rice fields and pockets of jungle, but away from the main tourist drags. There is a huge number and variety of excellent accommodation, restaurants and cafes, catering for both local and Western tastes and budgets.
We know it can be difficult to completely ‘unplug’ from life and work for a month intensive training, and so we feel that Ubud provides the perfect balance. It is enough of a ‘get-away’ to offer focus and depth for the training, but not so remote that you need a complete lifestyle and diet change, or that the transition back to home life becomes very difficult. Integration is the key!

ACCOMMODATION
This is a non-residential training. Participants are responsible for arranging their own accommodation.
There are plenty of other accommodations nearby to suit all budgets, easy to find and book online. Many places offer significantly reduced rates for a monthly booking.
We definitely recommend booking your accommodation in advance. Airbnb and Booking.com may be useful places to start.
We will set up a FB group for all participants at least 6 weeks prior to the training, so you can also be in touch with each other about accommodation options and sharing if you choose.

BALI INFORMATION – VISA, TRANSPORT, MONEY

Indonesia offers a free 30-day visa on arrival for nationals of many countries, please make sure you check your eligibility. Our training is exactly 30 days. If you are planning to arrive early or stay longer by just a day or two, you might choose to pay an ‘overstay fee’ of 300,000Rp per day (approx. $25US/day, payable when you leave at the airport). However, we have heard that many immigration officials do not like this and the process at the airport may be a little arduous.
Alternatively – and not recommended – you can extend your visa whilst in Bali, but you will need to buy a 30-day tourist visa on arrival at the airport. This is a separate counter at the back of the arrivals hall. It is best to use a visa agent to assist the extension process (around $50-70US, includes the visa extension fee), and you will need to make a trip to the Immigration Office in Denpasar for fingerprinting. You’ll need to check for Balinese holidays when the Immigration Office can be closed for days at a time. And please be advised that it may require you to miss class time, which you will need to make up.
Getting a 60-day visa before you come is a much simpler option!

To get to Ubud, taxis are readily available at Denpasar airport for around 350,000Rp ($28US)**, or you can pre-arrange a driver through your accommodation to meet you at the airport.
The best option by far for getting around Ubud is to rent a scooter. It only costs around 600-800,000 Rp (45-60US) for a month rental.
Motorbike taxis are also readily available, as are car taxis (a more expensive option).
Walking is possible, but not really recommended. If you do not wish to ride a scooter, we recommend staying in the close vicinity of Nalanda (there are plenty of accommodation options available within short walking distance!).
[/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”MONEY IN BALI” _builder_version=”3.20.2″ title_font=”Lato||||||||”]
The currency in Bali is Indonesian Rupiah. The exchange rate is generally around 13,000Rp = 1 USD or 10,000Rp = 1AUD
There are plenty of ATMs in Ubud where you can withdraw local currency.
There are also plenty of currency exchange offices where you can easily exchange foreign currency without commission.
