Wow so excited I finished my RYT200 course this week, what an amazing experience. I was a little worried in the beginning when I saw how much work there was to do but once I got my self into it, I found it quite easy to navigate. I can't thank the team enough for all the help and support. A special thank you to Andrea and Sunny who were there through the whole process and any questions we had were answered and explained. I loved meeting the other girls during this journey in the live sessions and I am sure some of us will be keeping in touch with each other. If you are looking for a professional team to guide you on your journey of self discovery then I highly recommend doing your course through Santosha. With love and gratitude, Namaste, Sandy xx

I'm beyond grateful to Santosha for this experience. It has been truly life changing for me and the path I knew I needed to take. All the Santosha Teachers and my fellow course participants make you feel connected, safe, supported and loved throughout this transformative journey. I'm not quite sure I will be able to repay them for what they have gifted me, so I will carry the beacon of knowledge and love with me into my future, and ensure that I share with my community what I have been so fortunate to learn from the Santosha family...and it really is a family. Much love

What an amazing experience that has changed my world. I have just completed my RYT200 course online and found the Santosha team to be inspiring, committed and kind. I found the training material to be easy to follow and informative. Everyone has been incredibly supportive and encouraging. The training has not only given me a deeper understanding of my practice but it has given me the skills and the confidence to take classes into my community. I am so grateful to have had this opportunity.

Namaska, I have just completed the RYT 200 Level 1 Santosha Yoga online course. All yoga teachers are so sweet and helpful to make sure I learn yoga without overwhelming and stressful. I really gain a lot and understand fully the foundation of yoga from Santosha yoga. If someone like me who likes to understand more of teaching Yoga, Santosha Yoga will definitely a place you go for. Wish all beautiful souls be well. Namaske.

So grateful for this group of amazing and dedicated human beings. I knew I had a nudge from the universe to enrol in the 200YTT for a reason. So enlightened and my heart is full, yet I yearn for more! Cannot wait to get an even deeper understanding of all that yoga is.
I did the course online and although it takes your own dedication to complete this way, the Santosha Team are there with you, the whole way through and beyond. Cannot recommend this institution enough Namaste

What an incredible school and wonderful experience of YTT200. The teachers are so knowledgeable but with a kindness and support second to none. The course is in-depth but perfectly organised that you feel confident and immersed and truly follow the true path and meaning of yoga. Cannot thank you enough Santosha for all you do.

Thank you for providing the most wonderful, engaging and powerful yoga certification online. I have enjoyed every moment of the process and learned so much. I am looking forward to continuing my eduction with you over the next year.

I had such a beautiful journey with Santosha and highly recommend. Not only was I able to learn from amazing teachers and mentors but also sharing two weeks with an incredible group of people who are now lifelong friends was an amazing experience.
The knowledge I have taken away not only for my teacher training but for life is general is something I am truly grateful for. Biggest love to Sunny and all those who shared their time and knowledge with me.

This was such a great experience for me! I fell more in love with the practice, and gained a deeper understanding of myself. The Santosha team is so warm, knowledgeable and loving. This was a beautiful, beautiful journey. I wish I could stay in this course forever.

Every teacher, lecturer, presenter, recording & online material was seamless! Exactly what you need for an online course. Staff are extremely knowledgeable & helpful to assist you on your Santosha experience. I can not fault their service & professionalism! So grateful for this opportunity to learn from the best! Namaste

This journey have bin amazing in so many ways! The Santosha team are incredible loving and caring and I really felt supported all the way through this course. It have both bin a personal, inner journey and I also feel so excited to being a part of sharing Yoga through teaching myself and continue my studies and journey.
Thanks to all of the Santosha team for creating this space! Love

Deciding to take on this course was diving into the unkown, but the team at santosha are so wonderful and are there for you whenever you need. There is so much amazing content and I feel so enriched gaining all this information. I can't wait to start teaching and passing on my new found knowledge. Santosha Yoga Institute i would highly recommend. This course was so accessible to do online. THANK YOU SANTOSHA!

My 200 Hour teacher training online course has been a life changing experience for me. Despite practicing asana for over 20 years, I had never had the ability to spend a month or more away from home to become a teacher. This course made it possible. I also had no real idea what yoga really was until I spent a month studying with Sunny and the Santosha team. This is a genuinely caring and nurturing course and the teachers are amazing. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to take the next step in their yoga journey and become a teacher.

I cannot speak highly enough about the teachers and all the staff at Santosha. What an incredible group of people. So humbled and grateful for the journey and for what I have learned. The staff are so welcoming, professional and dedicated to giving all their students a wonderful and fulfilling experience. I highly recommend this wonderful school.

Studying with Santosha Yoga has been an amazing experience. It is such a supportive, loving community. I have learnt so much from their dedicated team during my RYT-200 Studies. I would definitely recommend Santosha Yoga Institute.

Working with Santosha was an amazing experience. The amount of knowledge you walk away with is incredible and you really get a sense of the passion behind each and every teacher. I wasn't sure what doing my ytt online would be like but I'm so glad to have chosen that option. I did everything in my own time and didn't feel any pressure getting things done. They've been super helpful in answering questions and giving amazing feedback on the assignments. You can tell they genuinely want you to succeed. It's hard to know what kind of quality you're getting with a ytt but I'm walking away knowing I chose the best school there is. I've spoken to others that have done their ytt only just before I did and was shocked by the lack of information/knowledge they were getting as opposed to myself even before finishing the course. Just goes to show how thorough Santosha is at making sure you're fully equipped with everything you need to become an incredible yoga teacher and doing so in a way that truly helps your future students in their practice as opposed to just throwing out poses blindly. I've received so much confidence as a teacher and I have no doubt you will too if you choose Santosha. Couldn't be happier with my decision!! Thank you so much Sunny, Andrea and Jennie for being such a massive help encouragement and inspiration on this journey!!!

I have just completed my RYT 200 yoga training with Santosha Yoga Experiences online. This is a fantastic course. The teachers are caring, knowledgeable, loving and welcoming. Their enthusiasm and love for yoga shines through in all they do. The course is easy to navigate, supported and the materials are comprehensive and easy to use. I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone looking to enhance their own yoga practice, and deepen their knowledge and understanding, whether as a future teacher, or just for themselves. Thanks Santosha for making this such a life changing and intimate journey..xxx

Santosha provided such a warm, welcoming and caring environment to study and practice yoga within. On every encounter I had with every single person at Santosha, I was put at ease with their high level of professionalism, but, most of all, their genuine care for my progress and overall wellbeing. I can't recommend Santosha highly enough, and am forever grateful for the experience I have had, and will hopefully continue to have.

I am forever grateful that I have found these beautiful people and the wonderful knowledge they are sharing with the world. There is a life before I started this course and one that I have discovered during the time with Santosha. I wasn't able to attend in person but even the online course touched my heart so deeply. All teachers share their knowledge so vividly and passionate and at all times I felt comfortable to share my story and be my authentic self. During this course I've learnt so much for my life, what really matters to me and how I see others in the world. I can't put all the things in words but the knowledge that is shared at Santosha is such a high quality and I could not have find any better institute to start my teacher journey with.
Probably the thing that stayed the most with me is to act from a place of unconditional love, understanding, forgiveness and non-judgement towards myself and others. The beauty of life lies in the Now and Santosha showed me how much more there is to life than the conventional worries and concerns that we all face in our day-to-day life.
Thank you so much.

Couldn't have hoped for more from this course. So much love and wisdom from all the teachers. Felt very connected to them despite us being on different sides of the world! Showed me the true meaning of yoga, and went a lot deeper than I expected. I did the course self paced, which meant I could come to it when I could, but felt no pressure when other aspects of life got in the way. Very happy I chose Santosha! Looking forward to continuing my studies on the pre & post natal course. xxx

Sunny, Andrea and the Santosha team are beautiful people with a beautiful mission. I would recommend this training whole-heartedly. I felt supported and nourished the entire time I was self-pacing (6 months). The quality of the teaching is excellent and the yoga is authentic.

I am so full of gratitude for being able to be a yoga student at the Santosha Yoga Institute school. The COVID 19 pandemic has affected everyone in many ways. I unfortunately have not been able to travel to see my beautiful family as much as I would have wanted to, but the pandemic gave me the time to take this course. The opportunity to take part in the 200 hour yoga teacher training came at a time in my life when I was learning the hard lesson of being patient. This lesson continues, but yoga has taught me to observe my emotions and be less judgemental. The Santosha teachers are so professional, knowledgeable, kind and supportive. I really enjoyed the combination of live classes and online content. It was amazing to meet others from around the world who shared their love of yoga. I am very thankful to Santosha that I am now a yoga teacher and can't wait to teach others.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the RYT200 course. I particularly liked how you could work the course to suit your situation. I decided to clear my diary for a month and totally focus on the course and I really enjoyed the mix of prerecorded modules and live sessions. I also really liked how whilst learning online I did feel part of a team and got the know the other students on the same journey.
I certainly have learnt a lot!!! Great teachers, great content, thank you.

Thank you so much to the entire team at Santosha
This course couldn't have come at a better time
for me. It's been such a great journey of self discovery and transformation and I can't wait to start my teaching. Would definitely recommend!

Thank you for helping me, from halfway around the world, achieve one of my lifelong dreams: 200 hour, yin, children & teens, and yoga nidra teacher certifications. There isn't a single person I met through your organization that didn't resonate with positive energy.

I have recently completed my yoga teacher training online with Santosha. The online platform is new but not lacking at all. We had access to the most wonderful and knowledgeable instructors form around the world. There is so much to learn and I have been fully supported both during the course and ongoing. I would highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn the traditional Yoga practice.

I embarked on my Yoga Teacher Training with Santosha's Online RYT-200 Course, and I was blown away by the quality of the program, the expertise and support from the teachers and administration staff, and the level of familiarity and sense of community I felt from my own home shala with the other students around the world. It was a life changing event for me, and I cannot wait to enrol in other courses with Santosha under the mentoring and light of head teacher and founder Sunny Richards. Your humility and sincere teachings from the heart will be with me always

The face of a lady who just submitted her final assessment for yoga practitioner training.
This time at home has been well spent.
The time around the corner will be full of flourish.....not just for myself but, as I've made daily intention these past weeks, it will flow out to all I get to share space with.
Namaste.

My journey with Santosha in Bali was exactly what I had hoped for and so much more.
I hadn’t practiced yoga often before this course and was on a journey of healing a body full of discomfort.
Was so pleased to find on the first day that there were other like me on the same path and instantly felt right at home.
The teachers were amazing ! Such a variety of personalities and professional back grounds to learn from so it made absorbing the theory and practical easier.
I have learnt so much on this journey about the connection between breath, body and mind and feel a deeper connection to myself.
Thankyou so much to all at Santosha, will be always forever grateful.

I had been interested in becoming a yoga teacher for a long time and this course was more incredible than I could have ever imagined. It truly is a ‘yoga experience filled with love’.
Some questions I remember having when looking for the right school where ‘who are the teachers and what are they like’ and ’what kind of yoga do they teach’.
I was so pleased to learn that Santosha teaches traditional yoga as yoga was intended in a safe manner that is accessible for every-body. Santosha teaches yoga that is true and honest, not any fad or popular craze, and in a way that is simple and provides a strong and safe foundation on which to build.
All the teachers and support staff of Santosha are absolutely incredible. The knowledge they have and the way they teach is brilliant and inspiring.
I did the 200hr course online and it was an absolutely incredible way to do it. I felt so connected to my group of fellow students and teachers. The pre-recorded lectures are amazing and the live Zoom sessions where the highlight of this course. I was able to self pace and fit the study into my schedule and the support from the teachers was amazing. I felt included and supported the whole way through.
I am so grateful that this course was made available online so that I could take part without having to travel or take time off work. I will be continuing on with Santosha for further studies. This online 200hr YTT course is the best investment I have ever made and can recommend this course, from the heart, to anyone interested in becoming a yoga teacher.

I decided to join this course even tho I was really new to yoga and probably only practiced 2-3 times back home....sure I was concerned about being ready for it!
Once I arrived I felt safe, supported step by step and loved.The teachers and the other students, really became my Santosha's family and is a lovely feeling to see everyone opening up day by day, learning about themself and all the teachings start to make sense😊sometimes I wondered if teachers had a magic ball as they could predict what I was going to feel, realize and learn in the coming days 😂🔮💛
Yes you learn about the asana, but put that on a side, what made the difference for me was the anatomy, philosophy, pranayama, the beautiful kirtan and the people.... Yes cause the people you will experience this with, will create magical moments and memories for you💛✨🙌🏽
Thank you so much every single one of you Santosha family😍☀️I can't wait to meet you again around the world and partecipate to one of you class or just cross your path again and see that you are doing your best to be serene in your mind and heart!
Much love to you, ila

The curriculum focuses on safety, yoga as therapy and the basics which can be applied to anybody and any body. Expect a slower yet thorough pace where you can really understand and grasp these critical concepts. The teachers want to see you succeed and make themselves available for whatever you need; both yoga related and not. Nusa Lembongan is a cozy place to stay for a month and you'll definitely enjoy the beach-front setting!

thx to all the teachers who made this an unforgettable experience. ❤

Such an amazing team and magical time! So much more than I ever expected.

Hey beautiful yogi’s!
I just returned from my 200hr YTT with Santosha on Nusa Lembongan. It was so magical I’m not sure where to start. So firstly the teachers are unbelievably inspiring, they’re so passionate about their specific topics and classes you can’t help but soak up every word. Our teachers were emotionally invested in us! So special. The shala (where you practice yoga) has breathtaking views of the ocean.
After one meditation we opened our eyes and watched dolphins breaching whilst the sun set behind them. Seriously magical. I stayed on site and it was the best decision for me, I loved having my room so close to duck to the bathroom during class or waking up early and walking just 10 metres to the shala stairs was
pretty handy!
The food at the cafe below the shala is Ginger and Jamu, check em out on insta, the food is delicious, I was there just over a month and never got sick of the variety of dishes they have. Try their coconut milk late.... soo good! It was so nice to eat clean for a whole month, the staff are so warm by the end of the course they feel like family. I miss them already!
In terms of the quality of teaching to be able to teach yourself in the real world, in my experience I myself graduated just over a month ago and this week I opened my own yoga studio, I feel super confident in my ability to teach and love the emphasis on safety, protecting from injury. I’ve been to heaps of classes where the teachers haven’t given any safety cues and I walk out feeling like damaged goods.
So to recap...
Teachers - inspirational
Location - a tropical dream
Accom - on site accom super handy
Real world teaching ability- one month later and living the dream
But most importantly and the most impactful thing about the whole course were the like minded beautiful souls who are going to become your best friends. We still all talk every day since the course. These people blew my mind.
They were grateful, they opened my mind, taught me so much, and mostly we all just loved the sh*t out of each other. I don’t know if we just had a really special group or if Santosha is a magnet for the most amazing people from around the whole world. Either way I am so incredibly grateful for my new besties who are sprinkled all over the globe. Can’t wait to visit them!
So long story short, my experience was everything I could have dreamt and so much more. If your questioning if Santosha is right for you, follow your gut but I say go for it! Ps have a coconut on a deck chair looking out at the epic surf from Ginger and Jamu for me!

The Santosha team are committed, kind and loving and I feel so fortunate to have received this training. I have just completed the online 200hr YTT and with the support of this wonderful team I have the confidence to now share this with my community.
The training materials are well organized and comprehensive and I felt supported the entire way through. Thank you so much, I am forever grateful.

I have just completed the online 200hr YTT. The training was so much fun and I felt supported the entire way through. Thankyou so much, I am grateful or this experience. 🙂 XX

Not only were the teachers full of knowledge and love to give unconditionally, but they taught me more about myself. The program goes beyond enjoying the asanas and its true teachings, I learned its philosophy and what it means to love and live in peace. 100% recommended as I will always cherished the teachings

I just finished the YTT 200hr certification with Santosha Yoga Institute and couldn’t be happier. I am so glad I was able to be part of this amazing community. The knowledge I received incorporates the true teachings of yoga. Lessons enriched with the love of sharing and connecting. This place goes beyond forming great yoga instructors.
Although I would have loved to do it at their installations the on line course was well organized and was able to adapt so the teaching would reach us as if we where there. Also, their sense of community and support is incomparable. Thanks to all the teachers and specially Sunny Mckenzie Richards for this opportunity!

I started off my course on Nusa Lembongan with the beautiful Piera and Andrea. But then due unforeseen circumstances had to return home. Santosha create a whole online course for people in the same situation. And I can say that I felt so supported by Sunny and the team. The online course is different, but just as amazing as being in person on the island. We learnt a lot about just trusting yourself and the process, not to stress. The course covers Hatha yoga, philosophy, anatomy and postures, learning how to structure classes, applications of yoga, pranayama and meditation.

Kirtan was one of my favourite lessons. Thank you! ☀️🌼😊

One month in paradise! Thank you Santosha for this amazing experience. It is beautiful how the teachers embody the philosophy behind yoga and help everyone to feel safe. You can expect way more than only asana practice. This training includes meditation, anatomy classes, philosophy, pranayama and sooooo much 💕 love.
I met really inspiring people and I am grateful for every minute that I spend here. 🙏🧘♀️☀️❤️

My experience with Santosha... what can I say? It’s my new family in life!! The girls who made me company for a hole month are like sisters now and the teacher are angels. I only can say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart! Ready for spread all the love and knowledge with the world. 💫

Having considered taking my YTT for the past 5 years I am so grateful that I waited until now and studied in Nusa Lembongan with the most unbelievable teachers. Thia, Andrea, Johanna & Sunny completely embody yoga, what it means to live a yogic lifestyle and ooze a beauty that is hard to describe, you can only feel. Their love, passion and genuine care for all of us was evident from the moment we arrived, a true spirituality radiated from them. Their knowledge is absolutely outstanding.
Santosha more than prepares you to teach asana, not only providing you with the confidence to write your own practices, run meditation & pranayama sessions but also give you a solid understanding of the philosophy, history & spirituality behind yoga as well as the practicalities of anatomy.
If you are considering YTT I cannot recommend Santosha’s course enough, it has changed my life and is honestly the best thing I have ever done. I cannot wait to do my 300hours.

The place itself (i went to Nusa Lembongan, bali) and the people you meet.. make a huge impact in this one month. And then you have your teachers, most likely here on earth to change our lives in one month, so kind, so full of love, so warm. There are no judgements here only unconditional love and healing. It gets so intense and so deep that the only choice you have is to either leave or open that part of yourself that you've been trying to avoid for healing, and then once healed, you've then opened doors for yourself for something so magical. It's definitely not just a yoga teacher training course.. it's so much more than that!!
