The Location
You may have heard that Bali is the Island of the Gods, as most people feel that its beauty is befitting of Gods; which is certainly true. But, literally, Bali is also the Island of the Gods of Yoga. For, although Bali is the only Hindu Island among thousands of Indonesian islands that are nearly 90% Muslim (an anomaly in itself), its beauty and magic is such that no one would ever dare to change it. And for all the ages that Bali has had visitors from all around the world, the only international influence that has really taken any footing is that of the international yoga community. However, within a Hindu Island you cannot exactly say that yoga has influenced Bali, but you can definitely say that Bali has magically influenced both yoga and every yogi who has visited her. Nevertheless, if you are still not sure, here is a link to even more reasons why Bali is an amazing place for Yoga Training!

The Training
Vishwa Ayurveda (RYT 300) is a unique and powerful yoga teacher & practitioner training that is second to none! In addition to Ayurveda, it includes aspects of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupressure and Thai Yoga Bodywork; all of which are based upon the essence of all Ayurvedic / Yoga practices: The Panch Maha Bhuta / Five Great Elements!
​
This page is more of an overview of the entire training experience, but to get into the deeper details of the training itself, be sure to click here. Or, before you get into those details, perhaps you would like to start with reading our wonderful Training Reviews or other important details.
Experiences Beyond The Classroom:
The Feel & Experience of Ubud
Ubud is a favorite for everyone who visits Bali. You can spend days on foot, bike or scooter exploring its magic! Or if you are feeling extra lazy, no need to go anywhere, just hang out at Casa Luna (the campus our training). There you can get a massage, do a detox, take a cooking class, plan an adventure with their staff, or just lounge around the gorgeous pools and gardens.
Casa Luna Bali
Our yoga training resort/campus:

The word "lodging" seems wrong as it doesn't do justice to the many wonderful possibilities you can experience -even on a tight budget. Nevertheless, we have reserved 3 wonderful "lodges" (described here) adjacent to Casa Luna (our training facility pictured above). However, you are not limited to our options. (Read more about Lodging in Ubud.)

Adventurous Excursions
Visits to the most amazing places in and around Ubud {the arts, culture and yogic center of Bali}
such as the Monkey Forest, Volcanos, the world famous Green School, etc..
​
Balinese Spa Treatments
In addition to what you learn and experience in the training there are also lots of opportunities to experience other styles of massage and spa treatments all around Ubud
(...and at local prices; the average price for a Balinese, Deep Tissue, Shiatsu, Thai, etc., massage is about $7 for 1 hour!)
​
The Medicine of Ubud
Whether you go for a spa treatment or not, just hanging out in Ubud on your time off is quite a healing treat in itself. In fact, Ubud is the Balinese word for Medicine, a name which came to it naturally due to all of its natural medicinal surroundings; from nature walks along trails of medicinal plants, to taking a sound-healing bath within the meditation "Pyramids of Chi," or visits the famous "Yoga Barn" to try many different styles of yoga and/or healing workshops.
Bali is a Foodie's Paradise, Too!
It may sound crazy, but so many of the restaurants in Ubud seem like holy places; too good to just eat there; nor do we. Even if it's just a smoothie, the atmosphere of virtually every restaurant or cafe beckons one to hang out and soak it in. Or maybe take a cooking class. They seem to be everywhere, but even our headquarters at Casa Luna offers cooking classes; and often they are taught by the founder of Casa Luna, who also happens to be a famous chef, Janet Deneefe. Learn More Here
You'll also enjoy the ever-so-gracious Balinese hospitality!

Thai Yoga Massage Training
A major additional perk to our yoga training is an option to go deeper into its aspects of meridian work and acupressure thru a Thai Yoga Massage Training; which follows the Vishwa Ayurveda yoga training. Furthermore, for doing the Vishwa Ayurveda training you get 50% Off the TYM training. Learn More Here!

Additional
Options
Sound Healing Workshops
Though not one of our programs, there are many classes you can attend all over Ubud in your free time. However, sound healing is a specialty in the area.

Yoga & Spa Retreat
Want to stay longer in Bali, but not wanting to take the TYM training? Then just stay for the retreat! You'll get 50% Off for having taken the Vishwa Ayurveda training, receive daily massage from those in TYM training, and get to see much more of Bali on our excursions than you could during just the yoga training.

Flight Info
You flight is not covered, but a recent check on cheap0air.com and similar search engines is currently turning up flights that cost under $1000 -round trip!- from mid-west US and CAN, 750E from London, and under $200 from Perth, AUS and, Madras, India. / If coming from the US, keep in mind that you will arrive about 2 days after your flight departs. This is not because it takes 48 hours to get there, but because you are flying into the future, so to speak. Bali is exactly 12 hours ahead of the US (EST).
VISA On Arrival
There is a long list of countries, from around the world, wherein citizens usually do not need a pre-ordered VISA to enter Bali, but can opt for the V.O.A. instead. Check the list here.
​
Passport
If you don't have a passport you will want to start working on that very soon, as it can sometimes take 4 to 6 weeks; or even longer if there are any glitches in the process.

Why do Yoga Training in Bali?
(continued from top of page)
Most people think of India as the most ideal place to learn yoga, as it is truly the motherland of yoga and certainly holds the ancient ruins of yoga, as well. However, over the past 50 or more years, India has been steadily trading-in Satsangh for Samsung. In other words, though the spiritual life can still certainly be found in India, and its ancient ruins still evoke a deeper spiritual quest, India (unlike Bali) no longer surrounds the pilgrim in exemplary yogic surroundings. It is fast paced, extremely crowded, and ever increasingly seeking materialistic goals. In fact, for a westerner it takes at least a week for ones overwhelmed senses to settle down enough to take in the trainings we hold there. (Nevertheless, every sincere yogi should plan to make a pilgrimage to mother India.)
​
Bali, on the other hand, is vibrantly alive with yoga. It is a yogic oasis. It somehow escaped the materialized thirsts of India to continue a yogic life in pursuit of harmony with Nature and the Divine; a pursuit that has been quite successful; and probably why the other Indonesian states have been discussing for the past few years an intention to make more of their islands more like Bali. But this will not succeed unless they also embrace the yogic principles that are the foundation of Bali's success. Furthermore, these principles of living in harmony with nature are at the essence of our whole Vishwa Ayurveda elemental yoga teacher / yoga therapy training. (Learn More About the Training)

More About Lodging in Ubud
​
For those who want to look into all that Ubud offers, and at a wide variety of price range, we do not mind if you do this at all. But keep in mind that you will have to make such reservations at other lodges on your own -and that you shouldn't wait too to do so. However, some advise not booking all your time in one resort anyway, as almost everyone who stays in Ubud for a while begins to see many different places they'd like to try out. Thus, you might want to book the bulk of your stay at some place economical, but at some point before you depart Bali you could try out some incredible eco-luxury-resort for a few days. ...It is for this reason that we offer the following very unique lodging options:
​
Option 1) As already included in the tuition cost shown above, your entire stay can be at one of our favorite lodges (adjacent to our training site) described here. However, it should be noted that if you take this option, and then decide to change to a new location, you should not expect a refund from the lodge, nor us; as we may have already paid it to the lodge. If you choose not to use our lodging options, then you can deduct $500 from the tuition (that would've covered the entire 30 days of lodging).
​
Option 2) For $250 less than the stated tuition above, we will book half of your stay at one of our favorite lodges described here. During this time you can explore other places for lodging (so long as they are near to our training site at Casa Luna) or opt to remain at the same lodge by paying the lodge directly (rather than thru us) for the remainder of your time. -However, you shouldn't wait until half of your stay is almost up before letting the lodge know if you plan to stay longer. Also, it should be noted that the balance for the second half of your stay could be higher or lower than $250.
​
Note: Couples and people on a budget may want to keep in mind that they can share any of these rooms with a roommate; splitting the $500 between you. However, in order for this to happen you will need to bring your own roommate. But keep in mind that if one of you decides to leave the arrangement we cannot give a refund to whoever that is.
​
Option 3) Deduct $500 from your tuition and book alternate lodging completely on your own.
This is a great option for those who are on a tight budget OR for those who want to spend a significant degree more in order to have an experience that they may never have back home. For those on a tight budget, there are hostels that are as low as $4 to $5 per night. And for those who want to splurge, well, the sky is the limit! Every price range can be found on nearly every block of Ubud. Nevertheless, we want to help you out. Whether it is in finding a hostel or a bamboo palace; to see & learn more about your lodging options, Click Here.

Super Natural options found throughout Ubud!

Excellent Hostel Lodging, as low as $4 per night

Or lodge at our training headquarters, Casa Luna
Please have a look at the following video for a better understanding of why we allow for Options 2 & 3 mentioned above{beginning at the 1:30 mark}
More on The Food of Ubud
​
Though we expect students to observe a vegetarian diet during their training period, a vegan diet is not expected. This is because we know that for some it will be a challenge just to transition to a vegetarian diet for a month; and going from being a meat eater to a vegan is often a set up for failure. On the other hand, for those who have already made the vegan transition successfully, you will be happy to know that Ubud is pretty much a vegan's paradise. Some places are entirely vegan and almost every place has vegan options. There are also many places that have gluten free options as well. Lastly (but certainly not leastly), we should mention that our training resort, Casa Luna Bali, was established by Janet DeNeefe. She is a somewhat famous chef / author and her amazing and healthy dishes are served right on campus..
​
In the past, meals were factored into the cost of the yoga training but, with all the amazing options in Ubud, I hope you can see how it just doesn't make sense. Also, by doing this the cost of your training is decreased signfiicantly! Thus, you can apply this savings to upgrade your meals to heavenly degrees -Or- if you are on a tight budget, the food of Ubud can easily accommodate you as well. In a nut shell, about $3.50 USD will feed you quite well if you are on a tight budget, and if you pay more than $10 for a meal...well, its probably going to be divine! But on average, about $6 will get you something very satisfying for both your taste buds and your eyes; as everything in Ubud is done as artistically as it is tastefully.
Deposit & Refund Policy
Deposit is non-refundable, but can be used toward a future YTT, Thai Yoga Massage training or Yoga Retreat if you are unable to come to the initial training intended. Also, any amounts already paid towards the tuition of the training are technically non-refundable if the request for a refund is made within 90 days of the training commencement. However, if this were to happen, the amount can still be used towards future trainings or retreats. Nevertheless, one can still request a refund after the 90 day deadline and we will do our best to grant it, or some portion of it. However, we will be under know obligation to do so; and, if we choose to do so, it could take up to 9 months for the full dispersal of the refund and it may come in increments. This is not because of a lack of sympathy for anyone who requests a refund, but as a necessity to protect the funds of the operation until it has been completed.
