SKY Yoga & Meditation was created with the mission to bring traditional Hatha Yoga Teacher Trainings from India to Bali.
Our 5-day Yoga & Meditation Discovery course in Ubud, Bali offers an immersive introduction to authentic Hatha Yoga, combining theory, cleansing practices, pranayama, mantra and meditation in an intimate jungle eco-village setting.
Course Overview
During these 5 transformative days (Monday 6:30 am – Friday 7 pm), you’ll immerse yourself in the many limbs of Yoga through a balanced blend of theory, practice, and guided tutorials.
Rooted in the timeless wisdom of the Patanjali Yoga Sutras and grounded in the traditional Hatha Yoga training approach, this course offers a clear and authentic understanding of what Yoga truly is. You’ll experience one of the most authentic yoga teacher training courses in Bali, where every practice is supported by meaningful philosophy and mindful explanation.
In addition to ten one-hour asana (posture) classes, you’ll be introduced to pranayama (breathing techniques), shuddhi kriyas (yogic cleansing practices), mantra chanting, and meditation—the heart of this course, with over seven hours of dedicated practice and tutorial time.
Unlike our 200-hour and 300-hour Yoga Teacher Trainings in Bali, this short-term immersion does not include accommodation; however, there are many beautiful and affordable places to stay near our peaceful eco-village on the outskirts of Ubud.
We keep our groups intentionally small (5–15 participants) to create a nurturing and focused environment where every student receives personal attention. This is the ideal opportunity to explore Yoga & Meditation in Bali and begin your journey toward deeper self-practice or future Hatha Yoga Teacher Training in Bali.

At SKY Yoga & Meditation, we believe that the best way to learn is through direct experience. That’s why more than half of our 5-day course is devoted to practical and hands-on tutorial classes—a hallmark of our authentic yoga teacher training in Bali.
Our tutorial sessions, known as asana lab and meditation lab, seamlessly blend theory with immediate practice. You’ll learn the correct way to perform specific postures and meditation techniques, including their modifications, contraindications, and benefits. With personalised adjustments and direct feedback from your teacher, these sessions embody the spirit of traditional Hatha yoga training in Bali—immersive, mindful, and deeply experiential.
Practical classes, on the other hand, are all about movement and embodiment—no note-taking, just pure presence. You’ll flow through asanas under close guidance to deepen alignment, awareness, and stability.
Each morning, you’ll also experience traditional pranayama (breathing techniques) and shuddhi kriyas (cleansing practices), essential elements of Hatha yoga teacher training in Bali. The theoretical foundation for these is explored separately through classic Hatha Yoga texts, helping you understand the deeper purpose behind every breath and movement.
This combination of theory, practice, and direct experience is what makes SKY Yoga & Meditation one of the most authentic yoga teacher trainings in Bali—a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern, embodied learning.
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.
