5 Reasons to Take Your Yoga Teacher Training in Bali

There's no denying that Bali is one of the most spiritual and serene places on earth. Steeped in the gentle traditions of Hindu culture, Bali’s healing, uplifting vibes have long called travelers, mystics, and yogis to her lush volcanic mountains and pristine beaches.



Are you feeling the call to take a yoga teacher training in Bali? Whether it's the ocean, the cuisine, the history of asana, or the culture of devotion that calls to you, here are five reasons why a Bali yoga teacher training is a journey that might just change your life:

Learn about the Ancient Traditions of Yoga
Many modern yoga classes and online yoga teacher training courses forgo the ancient traditions of yoga to pursue a workout or a picture-perfect body. Yoga is so much more than exercise, and going to Bali is the perfect way to learn this.



Why? Because a yoga teacher training in Bali will immerse you in the many teachings of yoga that transform everyday life. Whether it's visiting the sacred Uluwatu temple or watching Hindu women's daily devotionals, you'll learn how to live and breathe the yoga lifestyle.



The Full Circle Yoga School yoga teacher training in Bali immerses students in yoga's history and mythology. Rather than merely learning Sanskrit names for each pose, students learn the stories of gods and goddesses that have inspired each asana. This helps budding teachers create more enriching classes that offer meaning and inspiration for life off the mat.



This is an opportunity for you to learn to teach yoga while also shifting your life through ritual, ceremony, crystals, essential oils, meditation journeys, ayurvedic herbs and more. Go beyond the unconscious limitations that are set upon us throughout our lives and free yourself to walk a path of truly elevated consciousness. And what better place to do that then in Bali!

Connect with Your Soul in Mother Nature
From the laid-back beach vibes of Canggu to the mystical monkey rainforests of Ubud, Bali promises countless opportunities to experience Mother Nature in all her abundance. The practice of yoga is inextricably tied to the Earth—and our relationship to it. One of the primary goals of yoga is learning how to feel grounded in our most authentic form. Our connection to the earth achieves this: listening to our environment's sounds and feelings bring us closer to our truest nature.



Can you think of a better way to connect to the earth than surrounded by the ocean, forests, and rice fields? Better yet, most Bali yoga shalas and meditation centers feature open-air architecture—meaning you'll spend most of your training days overlooking rice fields, practicing on the beach, drinking in fresh island air, and falling asleep to the rustle of palm trees.

Embody Ritual and Intention from the Balinese People
Regardless of how you identify spiritually, the Balinese culture provides ample lessons on living a life overflowing with love and devotion. In the mornings, you'll notice the maternal figure at each family temple setting out offerings of flowers, incense, and other beautiful and sacred objects to the gods. These offerings are infused with positivity and love — they're symbolic of the woman's intentions to protect her family and promote peace on earth. This can serve as an inspiring example of the power of ritual and routine.



Yoga teacher training students can embody this practice by creating their morning routine of love and devotion, which may look different for everyone. Perhaps devoting yourself to a meditation practice each morning sets a positive tone for the day. Or, maybe you decide to write intentions for peace and love in your journal each day. No matter what it is, Bali will inspire you to be a more loving and intentional being, all while immersing yourself in a new, vibrant culture.

Find Your Place in the World
Bali is one of the only places on earth that weaves modern yoga trends with the practice's time-honored historical roots. Alongside healthy vegan fare, insta-worthy beach bars, and trendy architecture, you'll discover ancient temples, meditation centers, and sacred historic sites.



This blend of old and new, enriching and emerging, provides modern spiritual seekers with the perfect tools to grow, explore, and expand. Many people who have felt lost and alone in life feel at home in Bali, even though it's often the farthest from home they've ever been.



Those who are seeking to deepen their connection to soul and spirit through yoga will likely find a sense of home in Bali.

Make Soul Connections and Reunite with Your Tribe
Do you ever feel like you have to try to fit in with those around you? Do you feel like your friends (and maybe even family members) don't really "get" you? You're not alone!



Thousands of people flock to Bali each year because they're in search of like-minded people. They're looking for something different than the status quo; a way to infuse more meaning into daily life. These people long to find others interested in spiritual development, ancient wisdom, and natural beauty.



What happens when you fill an island with people looking for the same thing? You get an explosion of soul connections, friendships, and lifelong relationships that were always meant to be. Attending a yoga teacher training in Bali is a way of manifesting the people you've always longed to have in your life.

Yoga Teacher Training in Bali
If you're feeling called to take a yoga teacher training in Bali, you're probably already ready to leap. Remember, diving into the unknown doesn't mean you're unprepared. It simply means you're willing to surrender (and maybe even get a little lost) in pursuit of meaning, love, and belonging.
