SKY (Yoga & Meditation) was born with a mission to bring traditional Hatha Yoga trainings from India to Bali.
Our 200h Yoga & Meditation Teacher Training focuses on providing the most authentic knowledge that Yoga has to offer while getting you ready to teach modern Yoga classes anywhere in the world.
Course Overview
Our 24day (23-night) Yoga Teacher Training course offers a balanced mix of theory, practice, and teaching tutorials. You’ll gain a clear understanding of what yoga truly is, experience its transformative power, and develop the confidence to guide others. It’s a challenging journey, but we believe we’ve crafted the ideal program to set you up for success.
Rooted in the Patanjali Yoga Sutras and based on the Hatha Yoga tradition, our 200-hour training also includes a strong focus on meditation, with 27 hours dedicated to meditation practice - the most meditation time offered in any YTT course in Bali. We have also included a special silent day to truly deepen your meditation practice.
Although the course is focused on Hatha Yoga, you will also have classes in Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Yin and Kundalini Yoga for you to explore different modern Yoga styles.
Inspired by our experience at Kaivalyadhama, the first Yoga institute in the world to conduct scientific research (over 100 years ago now), we back our academic teachings with Yoga research articles and traditional texts reference whenever possible.
While the course is intensive, we also want you to enjoy this unique experience. That’s why we’ve included weekly sound baths and two Sunday excursions, so you can unwind without needing to plan anything yourself. Our program is fully inclusive, covering everything in one package.
We also believe in the power of small groups for a supportive and effective learning environment. Each training session is limited to 15 participants to ensure you get the attention and care you deserve.
Upon completion of the course, you will have the option to stay with us for an extra 3 days/nights (FREE accommodation, only actual course to pay) to attend our popular Sound Healing course to learn how to play Tibetan Singing Bowls and run sound bath sessions.

Asana Lab
Over half of our course is dedicated to practical and hands-on tutorial classes, which are essential to your learning experience with us.
Our tutorial classes (asana lab and meditation lab) blend theory with immediate practice. In these sessions, you’ll learn how to perform specific postures correctly (or meditation techniques), including modifications, contraindications, and benefits. You’ll then practice these postures right away with hands-on guidance and corrections from your instructor. This is the perfect time to ask questions and take notes.
Practical classes, on the other hand, are purely about practice - no note-taking needed.
For pranayama (breathing exercises) and shuddi kriyas (cleansing practices), you’ll engage in these practices during our daily morning sessions, with the theory being covered separately as we study the Hatha Yoga texts.
Theory classes
Our classes are very well structured and are designed to provide knowledge in a very clear and formatted manner to help you digest the workload.
For example, each theory class is split into 3 components, a comprehensive lecture, an active tutorial activity and dedicated Q&A time to clarify any doubts. Every lectures will be provided to you in your printed manual as well as in a digital format on WhatsApp at the end of each day.
Yoga is a journey of the Self, to the Self, through the Self.
