Blooming Lotus Yoga offers an evolutionary integration of the the wisdom of yoga, tantra and vedanta on the gorgeous tropical island of Bali, Indonesia.   Our yoga teacher training courses in Ubud, Bali offer students an ideal and peaceful natural setting from which they may dive deep within and allow the yogi or yogini within to awaken, and teach yoga from the intuitive Heart.

We offer an integrative approach to yoga asana that encompasses the hatha, vinyasa, power, restorative and yin styles.

The Blooming Lotus Yoga Teacher Training in Ubud, Bali have 2 central components.  The first is in learning exactly how to teach a yoga class skillfully, safely and compassionately to others.  While the second component is focused on the personal transformation of each and every student into a real yogi or yogini capable of living yoga and transmitting its essence to their greatest capacity. 

Through the daily group yoga classes, in-depth asana study, practicums, questions and answers and homework you will receive all that you need to safely, confidently and lovingly teach a yoga asana class. Yet, being a real yoga teacher is so much more than intellectually understanding yoga asanas and demonstrating how to perform them to others.  To truly teach Yoga you must connect to your inner most Self, in the Heart, and from this place of stillness, balance, openness and love share the wisdom of Unity. 

Connecting within and finding the voice of the intuitive Heart is central to being a great yoga teacher.  More than just giving suggestions on how to stretch this or twist that, when you learn how to teach yoga from the Heart your entire countenance radiates the peace you have found within, through your own practice.  Knowingly or unknowingly it is this inner peace that all your students will come to you for.  This peace cannot truly be taught to others, all that you can do is emanate the Light within and show people the way to purify their bodies and minds so that they too can taste the nectar of the Divine Love within. 

The other central component of this most unique yoga retreat Bali has to offer is the natural unfoldment of each individual’s spiritual path.  Yoga is universal and beyond religions, dogmas and belief systems.  As such, through the study of its ancient precepts and adaptation of its principles into our modern life each student begins to discover the inner yogi or yogini within themselves.  

Throughout the course we focalize out study of yoga philosophy in the classical yogic tradition, which has proven effective for thousands of years at liberating the Hearts and minds of its practitioners.  This living wisdom tradition shows us how to find our path, what obstacles are on the way, how to deal with them, how to embody Yoga to the fullest potential we can and clearly shows the way to the aim of yoga practice which is total and complete freedom.

Deeply grounded in the yoga tradition our courses are designed to empower you with all the tools, techniques and practices necessary to become the best teacher your can be.

We invite you to visit our website and discover all the amazing course content and highlights.

    If you’re considering a YTT, I HIGHLY recommend Blooming Lotus Yoga. Lily, Ramananda, and Mandy are the most thoughtful and inspirational teachers, as well as the most genuine, wise, caring, LOVING, devotional humans you will ever meet. They generously share their wisdom and insight, and take the time to answer your questions. Blooming Lotus truly embodies the essence of yoga, and works very intentionally to cultivate a safe space for self-exploration through your yogic and spiritual journey. To top it off, the staff, service, food, and accommodations at Ubud Corner 88 are AMAZING! The staff treats you as their family, remembering your name and the things you like/dislike, and always showing kindness. And the location could not be beat - views of the lush jungle and a beautiful temple across the river, you feel completely immersed in the rich nature of Bali. My experience at Blooming Lotus has positively and unforgettably influenced my perspectives and values for living yoga as a LIFESTYLE - I can’t wait to return in the future. 😊

    I loved every moment of this training and would highly recommend it! I I wish there had been more time spent on anatomy, but I also know 200 hours is just not enough time. The program was thorough and the instructors amazing!

    Every moment of my YTT with Lily and Ramananda was pure love. This school was everything I was hoping for and more - my teachers knew how to blend modern methodology while sharing and remaining true to the traditional roots of yoga. I hesitated to sign up for a YTT for years because I wanted to find a school that would honor the spiritual side of yoga instead of purely physical asana, and now I know it is because I was waiting to find Blooming Lotus! I feel confidently able to live my yoga and share it with others after spending a month learning here.

    It has now been 2 years since I completed my YTT 200 hour training with Blooming Lotus School of Yoga, and I still hold the words and wisdom of Lily, Ramananda and Ashley close to my heart. After teaching over 1000 hours of Yoga since completing my training, I still take the time to reflect back on the texts and syllabus offered by Blooming lotus for self-reflection, inspiration and to deepen my understanding of our practice. A teacher will always be also be a student; and I'm grateful to have been taught by such enthusiastic, and heartfelt Yogi's. I cannot thank you enough - you completely transformed my world and my practice.

    Blooming Lotus is a transformational learning experience. We all go there with enthusiasm for asana but they introduce you to the world of yoga (off the mat) with dedication and an honesty of how they live their lives as a yogi. A truly rewarding YTT.

    My experience at Blooming Lotus was life changing, and I am so grateful for undergoing Teacher Training in their beautiful Balinese oasis. Living and breathing yoga as taught by Lily, Ramananda, and Bindi in an immersive environment allowed me to practice and truly understand yogic principles, reminding me of my deep and genuine love for yoga and spirituality. With their guidance, knowledge, and wisdom my teacher's voice naturally arose with authenticity and love. Ready to serve! Namaste, peace and many blessings.
