THE DAILY SCHEDULE
The daily schedule of the 50-hour AcroYoga Teacher Training at YogaUnion Bali includes morning warm-ups and handstand practice to build strength and balance. Midday sessions focus on AcroYoga techniques—basing, flying, and spotting—with an emphasis on safety and clear communication.
Afternoons include theory classes covering topics like trust, consent, and injury prevention, followed by therapeutic practices such as Thai massage. Each day blends physical training with mindful connection and community-building.
Each morning begins with an energizing asana and inversion practice, focusing on strength, mobility, and alignment. This is followed by an in-depth exploration of AcroYoga principles, including basing, flying, and spotting, emphasizing technique and efficiency.
Asana & Inversions are key components of yoga that enhance strength, flexibility, and body awareness. Asanas involve a series of physical poses that align the body, build core strength, and improve flexibility, while fostering mindfulness and balance. These poses range from gentle stretches to more challenging postures, each focusing on specific muscle groups and creating a deeper mind-body connection.
Inversions, such as handstands and headstands, flip the body upside down, improving strength, coordination, and circulation. These advanced poses require focus and preparation, helping to build confidence and mental clarity. Practicing inversions safely unlocks deeper physical and mental awareness, pushing beyond limitations while promoting both energy and emotional release.
At YogaUnionBali, we prioritize optimal nutrition for our valued participants, forging a partnership with a local restaurant in Ubud. Rooted in the principles of holistic well-being, our students will embrace a nourishing yogic diet, centered around vibrant and wholesome plant-based vegetarian cuisine.

Midday sessions dive into hands-on practice, where you’ll refine your skills through weight-sharing drills, static poses, transitions, and flows. You’ll also explore acrobatic principles, productive communication techniques, and consent—essential elements for creating a supportive and engaging learning environment.
Principles and Practice sessions focus on the foundational elements that make AcroYoga safe, sustainable, and empowering. These sessions explore essential concepts like trust, communication, consent, and alignment. Practitioners learn how to cultivate clear verbal and non-verbal cues, set boundaries, and co-create a supportive practice space with their partners.

By blending theory with hands-on experience, these sessions create a strong base for skill development, mutual respect, and playfulness within the practice.
Basing & Flying are the foundational roles in AcroYoga that teach trust, communication, and teamwork. The base provides a stable foundation, using grounded strength and alignment to support the flyer safely. This role develops body awareness, precise stacking, and the ability to stay calm and strong under dynamic conditions.
The flyer learns to balance, engage the core, and move with control while being supported in the air. This role enhances agility, flexibility, and the ability to surrender with awareness. Through both roles, practitioners gain a well-rounded understanding of weight-sharing, movement mechanics, and the power of shared presence.
