Each morning begins with a quiet, powerful ritual — Pranayama, the art of conscious breathing.
“Prana” means life force, and “Yama” means control — together, they guide us to connect deeply with our energy and inner calm.

In this peaceful hour, you’ll ground yourself, tune inwards, and gently set the tone for your day with intention and presence.
Through guided breathwork, you’ll awaken your body, calm your mind, and feel more in flow.

You’ll be introduced to a variety of beautiful breathing techniques, including:
• Yogic Breathing – full, mindful breath to create balance
• Nadi Shodhana   – alternate nostril breathing to restore inner harmony
• Bhramari             – soft humming breath to soothe and calm the nervous system
• Ujjayi                    – oceanic breath to build focus and warmth
• Bhastrika             – energizing breath to awaken your inner fire
• Kapalbhati           – cleansing breath to refresh and revitalize

This class is a gentle reminder: your breath is your power, and learning to move with it will change the way you experience everything — on and off the mat.

Our approach to Vinyasa and Ashtanga Yoga is rooted in tradition, yet elevated by years of global study, personal exploration, and deep refinement.
It’s a method shaped by experience — and shared with passion.

In this dynamic morning class, you’ll dive into both foundational and advanced postures, learning correct alignment based on traditional principles and modern body mechanics.
With hands-on guidance from world-class teachers, you’ll discover how to adjust, assist, and sequence intelligently — for yourself and your future students.

Each day brings a fresh Vinyasa experience — with new flows, creative transitions, and different styles to explore.
This variety helps you understand the full spectrum of Vinyasa, while deepening your personal practice and building physical strength, fluidity, and body awareness.

Your teachers will be right there with you — offering detailed feedback, subtle adjustments, and the kind of support that inspires real progress.

After your morning practice, enjoy a nourishing plant-based breakfast designed to refuel your body, balance your energy, and awaken your senses.

We offer fresh, organic meals crafted by health-focused chefs, using tropical fruits and locally sourced ingredients — all inspired by Yogic and Balinese traditions.

It’s more than a meal — it’s a moment to pause, connect, and savor.
Each bite supports your practice and leaves you feeling light, vibrant, and deeply nourished.

This class is built around three core pillars: Alignment, Teaching Methodology, and Adjustments.

Alignment : This class provides the essential foundation for becoming a skilled, confident, and compassionate yoga teacher.

This is where your understanding of yoga truly deepens. In this hands-on class, we break down both basic and advanced postures to help you move with confidence, safety, and precision — whether for your own practice or as a future teacher.

We explore alignment from both traditional yogic roots and modern body mechanics, so you can learn how each pose works best for different bodies.
You’ll also discover how to offer verbal cues and hands-on adjustments that are clear, supportive, and empowering.

Your teachers are by your side every step of the way — guiding, observing, and offering personalized feedback to help you grow.

In this class, you’ll learn how to:
• Understand and align over 80+ yoga poses, including arm balances, backbends, and inversions
• Offer modifications and advanced variations for all levels
• Practice safe, effective verbal and physical adjustments
• Build the confidence to structure and guide your own Vinyasa classes

Teaching Methodology:

Find Your Voice, Share Your Practice

At YogaUnionBali, we believe you start becoming a teacher the moment you step into the shala. Our teaching methodology is designed to be supportive, confidence-building, and step-by-step — helping you grow at your own pace.

You’ll begin by practicing one-on-one, then gradually teach in small groups, and eventually lead full classes.
Along the way, you’ll receive regular feedback from your teachers and peers to help you grow, refine your skills, and discover your authentic teaching voice.

In this class, you’ll learn and practice:
• How to structure a YogaUnion-style Vinyasa class
• Practice teaching and giving/receiving helpful feedback
• How to observe and learn from others
• Hands-on adjustments: how and when to apply them safely
• Different teaching styles, communication tools, and what makes a great teacher
• How to use your voice and body language with confidence
• Planning and structuring a class for all levels
• How to handle injuries, modifications, and ensure safety in your classes

This is where your journey as a yoga teacher truly begins — with guidance, practice, and the space to grow into your full potential.

Verbal & Physical Adjustments in Yoga :

Verbal adjustments are spoken cues that guide students into better alignment, deeper breath, or more body awareness — without any physical touch. These include reminders like “draw your shoulders back” or “press into your heels.”

Physical adjustments are hands-on guidance, done with consent, to help students feel more stable, aligned, or supported in a pose. This can involve gently lengthening the spine, grounding the hips, or assisting a stretch.

Both types of adjustments help students:
• Improve alignment
• Stay safe
• Deepen their practice

In your training, you’ll learn how to give clear, confident cues and safe, respectful hands-on support.

This is where your posture becomes powerful, your awareness becomes sharper, and your journey into teaching truly begins.

Enjoy a delicious, plant-based lunch. Rooted in yogic principles and crafted by skilled chefs, each meal blends local, organic ingredients, tropical fruits, and superfoods to fuel your body and support your practice.
