Three smiling individuals embracing each other during a yoga teacher training session, radiating a sense of unity and joy. An opportunity to change your life forever through yoga and community.

What if You Had an Opportunity to Change Your Life Forever?

We know you’re here for a reason. It’s definitely not by chance…

You want to add meaning to your life, to change the path you’re on, and the direction you’re heading. Simply put, your goal is the same as ours: to transform your life.

To take you from where you are today, to where you want to be tomorrow.

It’s a path thousands of people just like you have already walked with Santosha Yoga Institute.

By forming a deeper connection to yourself and others - and to the universe around you - you have the chance to finally be your authentic self.

It’s a chance to, perhaps for the first time in your life, be able to say to yourself: “this is exactly who I am supposed to be”....

Whether you want to change your life by becoming a yoga teacher, or grow spiritually and live a life of ease and joy, it all starts with one simple question we all ponder…

Ever Think to Yourself 
“There’s Got to be More to Life Than This…”?

Do you ever get a nagging, unshakeable feeling that…
You’re living according to a pre-set plan society is dictating to you, and deep down you haven’t yet discovered your true place in the universe.
In your heart you aren’t contributing to the world in a way you know you’re capable of, longing to connect with others on a higher level.
There's a voice inside of you craving a life filled with purpose, meaning and consequence. But you lack the time, space and the right environment to find clarity.
Your mind is full of negative emotions and going in every direction. It can feel like it’s almost impossible to stay present even for a few minutes a day.
You’re stuck, have lost direction and become disconnected with the world around you, knowing in your soul that you’re not being authentic to yourself.
You need to make a true, lasting change of direction otherwise in 5, 10, 20 years you believe you’ll be even further from where you want to be.
If you find your conscious mind answering “yes” to any of the above and you’re often overwhelmed by the sense that there’s more to life, you’re definitely not alone. But, there is hope!

Find an Escape from the Fast Pace & Stress of Daily Life

The chaos of modern daily life often feels like a constant weight
on your shoulders.

But it’s all-too-easy to find yourself stuck behind a desk, at the mercy of a stressful job, boss and the busy world around you.

Being surrounded by pressures from all directions can trigger an almost uncontrolled physical and emotional response. A near-constant tightness in your chest, lack of motivation and feeling of overwhelm.

Who decided life was meant to be like this?

Sadly, most people will simply accept this fate, carrying on for decades without daring to change. But for a small few, there is an awakening. A realization that this path isn’t set in stone. That it can be changed – with the right decision…

You simply need to look inwardly, right now, and honestly ask yourself…

Yoga Teacher Training - Santosha Yoga Institute

“What Are My Authentic Intentions”?

This is Your Unique, Life-Changing Opportunity to Reveal the True Nature of the World & Self

Inside each of us are our true intentions – our authentic calling that speaks to us. It’s a deeper meaning about who you are and what you’re destined to do and become.

Pause just for a moment from the busy world around you and think to yourself…

Have you ever experienced a desire to:

Discover more joy and energy and start letting go of overthinking, anxiety and stress?
Help others in a meaningful way, connecting and communicating in new-found ways to have a positive impact on people’s lives?
Experience unlimited personal growth and be more authentic to yourself by being present and living in the now?
Make a difference and give back to the community and to the people in the places you choose to travel?
Finally find what truly makes you happy – true clarity of your needs, wants, worth, value and essence?
Break from everyday life to immerse yourself in a different path, connecting with the universe on a whole new level?
Step out of your comfort-zone and live your dream, completely trusting in yourself and putting yourself first for once?
Turn your love for movement and mindfulness into a meaningful new career path and step into a new chapter that aligns with your heart’s true calling.
All this is possible and within your reach. This is your invitation to take hold of what’s available to you right now…

Here's What Past Students Have Experienced During Their Time on Our 
Bali Yoga Teacher Training…

“

“The atmosphere is magic!”

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. 💫

“

“Santosha absolutely changed my life.”

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

kiara mayo fit

“

“Santosha was a beautiful place and I feel lucky to have begun my yoga teacher career as a student of this school.”

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!

Let’s Take a Closer Look at What You’ll Learn Inside This Immersive 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Bali

Learn Yoga Postures in their truth - which means understanding the intention of the Vinyasa Practice of Asana and how to use each pose appropriately for yourself and your students. This lesson is led by our experienced master teachers in our stunning ocean-front yoga shala. You will be taught in the dynamic 'vinyasa’ style of hatha postures in flowing sequences, which can be modified or advanced to suit all levels of practice. You’ll also experience restorative Yin Yoga to add to your Asana practice.
Intelligent yoga sequencing is the art of crafting classes that flow with purpose, precision, and care; guiding students safely from one posture to the next in a way that feels natural, balanced, and deeply effective. Rather than stringing poses together at random, intelligent sequencing considers anatomy, energy, and intention, creating a journey that builds towards a peak pose or desired outcome. This approach supports the body’s natural mechanics, reduces the risk of injury, and allows space for transformation - physically, mentally, and energetically. As a teacher, learning to sequence intelligently empowers you to meet the unique needs of your students, whether you’re creating dynamic flows, therapeutic sessions, or deeply restorative practices.
Experience the life-changing power of yogic philosophy and teachings, from experienced yogis with decades of study and wisdom to share. Taught with humour, insight and care, these profound yet simple lessons are often our student's favourite part of the course!
Your personal practice is the heart of your teaching. Designing and developing your self practice means creating a routine that nourishes you physically, mentally, and spiritually — one that evolves alongside your needs and life circumstances.
Varied meditation technique for inner stillness, peace and connection within. Experience meditations from yoga, mindfulness, kundalini and buddhist traditions; and learn to how to teach and share simple meditations with your students.
Our master teachers bring their decades of yoga teaching and study to this class, to share with you best practices and techniques for alignment, modifications and teaching cues. Gain precious knowledge and skills for safe and confident yoga teaching.
Be guided through powerful breath techniques and learn how to harness the power of the breath to bring change in your physical, mental and spiritual state. Learn to share effective breath practices with your students and explore pranayama techniques.
Intellegently create classes for optimal effectiveness, safety and flow. Weave energising, healing and transformational pranayama and meditation practices into your classes, to deepen your students experience of yoga and to take your classes to the next level.
Learn how to teach from an anatomical perspective to ensure your students are kept safe from injury. Examine the anatomy behind each posture and learn the biomechanics of safe practice and teaching.
Go deeper into the yoga postures which make up your practice and teaching. Learn the foundational principles behind each posture classification, for simple, safe and effective teaching and practice.
Yes, it's your turn! We support you to have a go at teaching, empowering you with have the confidence to lead others. Leave with the skills and knowledge to teach flowing ‘vinyasa’ Yoga sequences; adaptable to all levels – based on authentic teachings from the Sri T Krishnamacharya lineage.

Learn how Yoga can help to assist with the treatment of the mental health issues which are running rampant in today’s world – anxiety, depression, stress, burnout and eating disorders. Gain insights how to use Asana, Meditation and Pranayama to bring greater mental wellbeing to yourself and your students.
