This includes all tuition online and in-person, specialised course manuals and your Yoga Alliance RYT-500 Yoga Teacher Certificate.

Yes! Secure your place on our sellout 300-Hour Bali courses with the deposit, and then email us at least one month before the course begins to make your final payment - and still receive our amazing earlybird discount on your course costs.
Yes, gain your RYT-500 Yoga Alliance Certification in Bali! This is a Yoga Alliance certified 300-Hour Yoga Teacher training; meaning your 300 hours in Bali – when combined with your existing 200-Hour registered yoga teacher qualification – enables you to register as a Yoga Alliance RYT- 500 Teacher immediately upon graduation - through both Yoga Alliance International and Yoga Alliance Australia. This qualifies you to teach as an advanced RYT-500 Yoga Alliance teacher in gyms and yoga studios worldwide.
You need to have completed an RYT-200 teacher training- in-person or online - at a registered yoga school. We do not require that you have been teaching yoga since your training, as many join the course to refresh their skills and gain more confidence in teaching. If you trained at a different yoga school for your 200-Hour training we provide an online 'Bridging Course' and course manual which we will send you once you sign up to introduce you to some of Santosha's foundational teachings and vinyasa flow fundamentals from our 200-Hour Course.
No, you don't! We welcome graduates from all yoga schools and yoga styles. However, we will ask you to read and complete the short online 'Bridging course' before joining us so that you are familiar with our foundations and principles of teaching hatha yoga postures in a vinyasa flow.
Not at all! This course is designed to meet you where you are at with your teaching and practice. As the teacher training in bali is not purely asana (physical postures) based and it does not matter at all if you do not have an advanced practice. However, we recommend that students are relatively comfortable practicing yoga daily. An advanced practitioner is not necessarily a person who can move deeply into advanced postures; an advanced practitioner is someone who comes to the mat with a level of maturity, a willingness to learn, and an understanding of the limits of their own body. Keep in mind that this program is not only for existing teachers but also for people who want to deepen their practice.

BLOG: FIVE THINGS TO DO ON YOUR DAY OFFThe Level 2 300-hour course can be completed in 28 days. If your circumstances or other commitments mean that you're not able to join for the full 300-hour course in person, we now offer the uniquely flexible opportunity to join us in Bali for one, two, three, or four weeks! You can complete the rest of your study online at your own pace or join us on a future in-person course to make up your hours.
No! If your circumstances or other commitments mean that you're not able to join for the full 300-hour course in person, we now offer the uniquely flexible opportunity to join us ‘in-person' in Bali for one, two, three, or four weeks. We will support you to create your own retreat and training experience to fit within the time you have available made up of your choice of modules and courses- in person and online! If you have already graduated from your Online 300-Hour course you can also upgrade to any ‘in-person' course in Bali and join for however long you choose! Enjoy a beautiful retreat experience in paradise whilst deepening your practice and enriching your knowledge alongside your fellow yogis and teachers.
We supply all your training materials for your 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Bail. You will need a yoga mat, and a computer, phone or tablet with internet access to access additional course materials during your time in Bali.
No! Nothing needs to be completed before joining us in Bali. Some (not all) of the course modules also offer additional online components and are a valuable part of your 300-Hour course investment. These can be completed before, during, or after your 'in person' teacher training in Bali. Consolidate your knowledge and retain life-long access to the online content of your course; meaning you have resources to return to again and again.
There are several simple assignments, assessment questions and teaching practice that you will complete to cement your learning for each module throughout the Yoga Teacher Training course. We can assist you with any part of this you find challenging! Providing that you have satisfied all the assessment criteria you will receive your certification. This is nothing to be concerned about - we provide you with all the guidance and feedback you need to complete this with ease and confidence.
A long-time practice is a wonderful aspect that will serve you well during the teacher training in bali but it doesn't mean that you have to be a super experienced yogi to do the advanced certification - or that as an experienced yogi, you will not learn anything new. Your own yoga practice will expand in a beautiful way!
Our 300-Hour teacher training in Bali is more than just a yoga teacher training, it is a chance to transform and grow your personal practice and your teaching skills. Even if yoga teaching is still not your goal, you will dive deeper into your own practice, share a uniquely transformational experience, attend life-changing yoga philosophy classes, and be supported by open-hearted teachers and peers. So yes, if you want to immerse yourself further into your yoga practice, and transform your mind, your body, and your life in beautiful Nusa Lembongan Bali... then this course is for you! You also have the option to join us for the modules that interest you in one, two, three or four weeks in Bali!
Yes, of course! Rest assured many of our students still come into the course feeling fear around teaching, or having lost their motivation or confidence in teaching. We completely understand, which is why we take such care to create a supportive and accepting space like no other you will have ever experienced. We work with you where you are at and we work to help you overcome the most common blockages standing in your way of being the shining and confident teacher you have always wished to become, in a way that best suits YOUR individual nature and strengths.
Yes, we love to allow our courses to expand, grow, and be organic in nature as schedules are a living, breathing expressions! We may add new topics or we may exchange/upgrade an existing topic. If there was a topic you really wanted to see and it is not on schedule reach out and we will add this - if this is possible.
Rest assured, we offer full flexibility for all bookings. If you are unable to attend our Bali course we offer you our risk-free guarantee. You can transfer your course funds to any other future yoga teacher trainings (in any of our locations) and start your online studies straight away with our amazing 300-hour online course. If you choose not to attend in person and prefer to study online then we will refund the difference in price between the two courses. Please check your government website on the current situation with travel to Indonesia, as you will need to get this important information directly from official sources for the most accurate up-to-date guidance.
If you are unable to attend our 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Bali due to any personal or medical reasons we refund all monies minus the $499 AUD Course Deposit. This payment can then be applied to any of our in-person or online yoga instructor training courses at a later date of your choosing.
You do not need to have the perfect, injury free body to be a yoga teacher. If there are postures you cannot demonstrate in a class you can honestly explain to your students the reasons why and get a class member to demo the posture for you if needed, or work off verbal cues. We actually find that teachers who have had issues themselves with their bodies are far better at being aware of student's limitations and keeping them safe, as they are conscious of the care needed to look after an injury or area with limited flexibility or mobility. So instead of thinking of your injuries as a hindrance to teaching and participating in the course, realise that they can be an asset to your awareness and understanding as a teacher.
At Santosha we believe that yoga and teaching is for everybody, at any age. It is not a problem at all if there are certain postures which are not accessible to you personally. There is no age barrier to access the incredible benefits of these practices; and sharing them with others! We are getting more and more students joining us in their 50s, 60s and beyond - and we love it!
Yes! This probably means you are ready to step into this next challenge but you just need that extra bit of courage to make the next brave step. You are welcome to write or call us and let us know about this and we can happily provide extra support - both before and during your time with us on the course.
