Yoga Alliance & Certification
What is Yoga Alliance, and is SKY Yoga and Meditation a Yoga Alliance Certified School?
Yoga Alliance International (YAI) is a globally recognised organisation that sets professional standards for Yoga Teacher Training and accredits schools that demonstrate quality, authenticity, and a strong lineage-based curriculum. SKY Yoga and Meditation is fully registered with Yoga Alliance International, and graduates of our 200-Hour YTT receive an internationally recognised certificate that allows them to teach worldwide.
Our curriculum follows YAI’s professional training standards, covering traditional Hatha Yoga, teaching methodology, philosophy, anatomy, and practicum. This ensures you leave with a solid foundation to teach confidently and safely in any studio or community setting.
What are the conditions for receiving my Yoga Alliance Certification after graduation?
To receive your Yoga Alliance International certification, you must complete all required contact hours, participate in the full course schedule, and successfully pass the final teaching practicum at the end of the training. All students are required to teach a complete class, demonstrating alignment knowledge, sequencing, cueing, and the ability to hold space safely.
Attendance is essential. Because YTT is an immersive program, students are expected to attend all classes unless there is a medical or personal emergency discussed with the team. Upon meeting all requirements, you will receive your YAI-recognised certificate and can register as a certified teacher directly through Yoga Alliance International’s portal.
I’m already a certified Yoga Teacher—can I still join SKY’s 200-Hour YTT?
Absolutely. Many students who join SKY’s 200-Hour YTT already hold a previous certification from another school but want a more authentic Hatha Yoga foundation, more structured teaching skills, or a deeper connection to traditional philosophy.
If you feel your previous training was too fast, too modern, too asana-focused, or lacked depth, SKY’s immersive eco-village setting and lineage-based curriculum will help you rebuild your foundation from the ground up. You can also use this training for continuing professional development under Yoga Alliance International’s CPD pathway.
About Our Course
What does a typical day in the training look like?
Your training day is structured to create the right rhythm for learning, self-inquiry, and steady practise. While you can see the full schedule on our website, here is an overview:
✔ Training begins at 6:30 AM every morning
✔ Days include morning asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, alignment labs, hands-on teaching methodology, and group practice
✔ Each day ends around 7:00 PM
✔ Saturdays finish earlier (around 4 PM)
✔ Sundays are your rest days to reset, integrate, explore Ubud, or enjoy quiet time in nature
The schedule supports a deep, immersive experience in our eco-village, allowing you to live and breathe your Yoga journey rather than simply “attending a course.”
What kind of Yoga will I learn at SKY?
SKY is rooted firmly in traditional Hatha Yoga—slow, steady, transformative, and deeply connected to classical yogic texts. You will learn foundational asana, pranayama (breathwork), meditation, bandhas, mudras, mantra, cleansing techniques (kriyas), and the philosophical pillars of Yoga.
This is not a “hybrid,” fast-paced, or fitness-based YTT.
It is a lineage-based training designed to help you understand Yoga as a holistic system beyond physical postures.
Who joins this training—and why?
Students come from all over the world—Europe, Asia, Australia, the US—and from all backgrounds. Some join to become teachers, others for personal transformation, and many because they are seeking a more authentic, grounded approach to Yoga practice.
Common reasons students choose SKY include:
A desire to learn beyond the physical asana
Preference for small groups and personalised guidance
Wanting to live in an eco-village community
Seeking a reset or deeper life clarity
Wanting a training that honour Yoga’s roots
If you value depth, nature, community, and tradition, you will feel at home here.
What makes SKY’s 200-Hour YTT unique compared to other schools in Bali?
Many YTTs in Bali are fast-paced, crowded, or commercialised. SKY is intentionally different. Our 200-Hour YTT offers:
Authentic Hatha Yoga lineage taught by experienced traditional teachers
A serene eco-village surrounded by bamboo, jungle, and nature
Small groups for personalised support
A curriculum that balances practice, philosophy, and self-inquiry
A strong community environment that continues beyond graduation
Immersive living with wholesome plant-based meals, peaceful surroundings, and space for reflection
Internationally recognised certification through Yoga Alliance International
Students often describe SKY as a place where Yoga is lived, not marketed.
