Calm Your Mind with Bee Breath

Your breath is one of the most valuable tools you have — always available to support you in moments of stress, fatigue, or overwhelm.

On our Yoga Teacher trainings - Bali, Byron Bay, Sri Lanka or Online - breathwork (pranayama) is just one of the many tools you’ll learn — not only to enrich your own practice but also to share confidently with others.

This is more than just learning to “do yoga” — it’s about equipping yourself with a lifelong toolkit for health, balance, and emotional wellbeing.

One of our students most-loved breath practices is Bhramari breath. Click the video below to practice this breath today.

Also known as the humming bee breath, this simple but powerful pranayama technique uses gentle humming to quiet mental chatter, ease stress, and soothe the nervous system.

The soft vibration resonates through your head and chest, washing you in calm from the inside out.

Sometimes the world feels a little too loud — in our minds, in our schedules, in our hearts. That’s where Bhramari Breath comes in 🙂

Benefits of Bhramari Breath:

Reduces stress and anxiety
Lowers blood pressure
Improves focus and concentration
Releases tension in the face and head
Helps prepare the mind for meditation

Tip: Practice first thing in the morning to set a peaceful tone for your day, or in the evening to unwind before sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Bali, Byron Bay, Sri Lanka and Online 200-Hour Courses

How proficient do I need to be at yoga to participate in the Santosha Yoga Training (YTT)?

During the Level 1 RYT-200 program you will have asana sessions every morning and afternoon. We recommend that students have some form of asana practice and are comfortable practicing yoga daily. An advanced practitioner is not necessarily one who can move deeply into advanced poses; it is someone who comes to the mat with a level of maturity, a willingness to learn, and an appreciation of the limits of their own body. This course is not only meant for aspiring instructors. It’s also for people who want to take their practice to a deeper level and share an incredible experience with like-minded souls.

Will I be accepted into the Santosha YTT?

Yes, we believe that all people are deserving of changing their lives! Subsequently, the only prerequisite is a sincere desire in your heart to transform and grow. If you are ready to dedicate yourself with an open heart and mind to study during your time with us, we would love to have you join us – in Bali, Byron Bay, Sri Lanka or Online.

I don’t want to be a teacher – is this course for me?

Santosha courses are much more than just teacher trainings; they are a chance to personally transform and grow. Even if yoga teaching is not your goal, this yoga course will help you deepen your yoga practice, share a unique transformational experience, and be supported by open-hearted mentors and friends. If you want to transform your mind, body, and life then this yoga course is for you!

I do want to be a yoga teacher – is this course for me?

Yes, this is the yoga training for you! The Santosha Bali, Byron Bay, Sri Lanka and Online Level 1 200-Hour Yoga Training is a Yoga Alliance / YA International accredited RYT-200 training – meaning you will learn the skills to obtain your certification and register as a RYT-200 teacher immediately upon graduation from your Bali, Byron Bay, Sri Lankaor Online studies – qualifying you to teach in gyms and yoga studios around the world.

When will I be ready to teach yoga after the YTT?

You will be ready to teach straight away once you graduate, having gained the skills, expertise, and confidence to sequence and lead yoga classes with ease! Many of our graduates are teaching yoga online and in person all around the world.

Can I join even if I have injuries or am not that flexible?

At Santosha, we believe that yoga is for everybody and all bodies; and therefore we teach safe and sustainable practices for all yogis. Aspiring teachers don’t need a perfect, injury-free body to be a teacher, or to join our course. Instructors who have had injuries themselves are often better at being aware of students’ limitations with flexibility or mobility and keeping them safe.

Can I join the course even if I feel nervous?

Yes, of course! It’s normal to feel hesitant about starting something new. Many of our students begin the course feeling fear of teaching, public speaking, or doing something new. We take care to create a supportive and accepting space like no other you have experienced. We’ll work with you where you’re at to help you build the confidence and skills you’ll need to share what you have learned (if that’s your goal).

I am older and cannot do all the postures. Can I still join you?

At Santosha, we believe that yoga is for everybody and all bodies – and that your practice should meet you where you are at. It’s no problem if you cannot access certain poses. There is no age barrier to accessing the incredible benefits of yoga practices and sharing them with others. We are getting an increasing number of students joining us in their 50s, 60s, and beyond on the yoga training and stepping up to teach – and we hope to see more!

I feel a bit nervous! Should I Still Do It?

Yes! This probably means you are ready to step into something amazing and new but you just need that extra encouragement to make the next brave step. We are here to offer this to you! You are welcome to email or WhatsApp us and let us know about anything standing in the way of following your dreams, and we can happily provide extra support – both before and during your time with us on the YTT – in a way that best suits YOUR individual nature and strengths.
