You wake up in a luxury suite, overlooking the Holy Balian River. Spend the mornings practicing breathwork and immersing in inspiring yoga classes and daily handstand practice with Jess. It’s then time to nourish your mind body and soul with a delicious silent breakfast. In the afternoons you dive into the philosophy of yoga with engaging workshops, followed by learning Asana postures and safe hands-on-assists. Then share the evenings with scheduled practice teaching and discovering the business of yoga. Each night you get to tuck into a yummy three course meal prepared by our chef. Then end the week with Satya, a sacred bonding experience with your fellow YTT family. Unwind on Sundays by the infinity pool or let our staff help you plan a day trip with friends - Surfing? Ubud? You name it. Your free time is yours to dive into journalling, knuckle down with some studying or walk three minutes to the stunning beach for a dip in the Indian Ocean. This truly is a sanctuary for learning and self-discovery.
