Choosing the right location for your yoga training in Bali, Indonesia is the first step in your transformational journey. While many seek a Bali yoga school in crowded mainland hubs, Santosha Yoga Institute offers a more intentional, serene experience at Santosha Yoga Village, Nusa Lembongan.
Known as a stunning island paradise, Nusa Lembongan maintains the authentic spirituality of the Island of the Gods while offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Nusa Lembongan is a place where spirituality is a part of everyday life. As you practice in our ocean-front yoga shala, you will experience an island where incense fills the air and locals perform daily rituals, connecting you back to your soul.
This environment provides a holistic and authentic yoga training experience, allowing you to live and learn surrounded by sunshine, sea, and a supportive community.
Between your 200-hour YTT sessions, the island serves as a sanctuary for healing and fun. Our students love to spend their downtime surfing, swimming, and snorkeling with manta rays in crystal-clear seas.
Explore the island’s beauty through hiking, paddleboarding into the sunset, or relaxing with Balinese massage and reiki. It is truly the ultimate rejuvenating and fun yoga experience in Bali.
Getting to our Nusa Lembongan Bali yoga school is safe and easy. Just a 30-minute fast ferry from mainland Bali, the island offers a stress-free escape where everything is within easy walking distance.
