If you’ve ever thought, ‘one day I’d love to become a yoga teacher', our yoga teaching training intensive offers the perfect opportunity to do just this, sharing the experience with a group of like-minded people on a Bali adventure together.

Byron Yoga Centre invites you to explore your practice of yoga in a 12-day Teacher Training Course in Bali. Immerse yourself in Balinese culture, and rest and rejuvenate at a beautiful resort in Ubud, where the training is conducted.

Held in conjunction with our  yoga retreat and graduate program, this 12 day intensive provides a perfect opportunity to expand your yoga practice in a relaxed and tranquil environment.

With Byron Yoga Centre's teaching team on site, you can be assured of a rich, varied and holistic experience of yoga while at the same time enjoying the exotic surroundings that Ubud has to offer; rice fields, temples and local markets.

It’s the ideal place to adjust to the Balinese way of life and the perfect launch pad for travelling around the island on your own after the course.

As there is limited free time during the intensive we recommend you extend your stay so that you have time for sightseeing afterwards, if your schedule permits.

Experience makes the difference

Teaching yoga consists of more than simply the skills required to perform asanas correctly or knowledge of anatomy and physiology. Ultimately, the path to teaching yoga with awareness and understanding involves deepening your own practice.

Byron Yoga Centre’s 12-day Teacher Training Course in Bali is part A of the fully accredited Yoga Alliance course. It is designed to deliver holistic training that encompasses the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of the yogic path. Part B is conducted by correspondence, or could be completed by study at Byron Yoga Centre in Byron Bay. Part B non-residential is included in the cost.

The course is completed by correspondence after the intensive at a personal pace, for as long as the trainee needs.

The course is designed to deliver holistic training that encompasses the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of the yogic path. Completion of Level 1 and Level 2, will facilitate the 500 hours of yoga teacher training recognized by Yoga Alliance and eligibility for recognition by the Yoga Teachers Association of Australia. The course is one of the first Australian Yoga Teacher Training courses accredited by Yoga Alliance as a 500 hour RYT. This represents a very high qualification in yoga teaching that is recognised both in Australia and internationally. The course is also Fitness Australia approved for 15 CEC's.
