Bali Thai Yoga Massage Schedule / Itinerary
Aside from arriving 2 days earlier than those coming for the Yoga Retreat in order to get more rest, the TYM Training Itinerary looks much like the Retreat itinerary. However, where you see the things below written in Yellow, is also where you will spend time in training while those on retreat get lots more rest and free time; and when you will be getting in your training hours: Totaling about 30 hours.
Please Note: 95% of what is listed below we presume will go off smoothly, but we always want to leave some room for chance occurrences, like an unseasonable typhoon or a loose mutiny of monkeys. However, the thing that is most likely to change are some of the days currently expected for certain events. Nevertheless, the following should give you a very good idea of what to expect:
Day 1
Rest, Orientation, and a little bit of training
Day 2
On this first day for those coming to the Yoga Retreat, we will just be greeting arrivals as they come in throughout the day and escorting them over to a free Balinese massage we will have set up for them (optional) at one of the local spas.
