Study online, certify in Bali!

This is our complete 200-hour curriculum,
the same Yoga Alliance certificate.

Now delivered in a way to help busy people like YOU...
180 hours online at your own pace, then 5 days with us in Bali
(or other places around the world)!

Voted Best Yoga School in Bali since 2016
5-star Yoga Alliance rating
60,000+ hours combined teaching experience
Maximum 16 students
E-RYT 500 lead trainer
Anatomy taught by a medical professional

Our Hybrid 200hr YTT is the same training, re-engineered (specifically created especially to suit those who have super busy lives and cannot take a month off to join us for an intensive YTT for 4 weeks!).

This opportunity allows you to study the theory properly online, in your own time.

You get 180 hours of training; professionally pre-recorded lessons, guided meditation and breathwork practices, biomechanics workshops, PLUS bonus content captured live during our in-person 200hr YTT: full-length yoga classes, guided meditations, pranayama and asana posture labs.

Pause, rewind and return to it all for 24 months.

Then you fly to Bali already prepared and spend 5 magical days doing the things that can only be done in person; the Asana Posture Lab workshops with incredible assists and adjustments, sequencing and your teaching practicums. You’ll be coached by E-RYT 500 lead trainers with 15+ years’ experience and over 18,000 teaching hours, in a class capped at just 16 students to ensure maximum focus, attention and quality teachings to support YOU.

“Wow, where do I even start – this YTT has blown all my expectations away! I came in with an open mind and ready to learn about all things yoga, and I didn’t expect to walk away feeling as inspired and deeply appreciative for the teachings of yoga as I do.

This 200hr YTT has everything and more than anyone could anticipate. Taryn and Yann delivered such a high calibre of content and presented it in a way that was easy to digest, understand and apply to life on and off the mat. The information was extremely thorough, and such care and precision was taken in each section and every class – there was never a moment where I felt unsure or confused. Everything that was explained to us was done in a way that supported all types of learning.

This school and these teachers are nothing short of amazing, and I am so grateful that I was able to do my training through Loka Yoga School with Taryn and Yann – I wouldn’t change it for the world. I could not recommend Loka Yoga enough to anyone wanting to become a teacher or even deepen their practice. The course is structured in a way that left you feeling empowered and curious for more! I was truly blown away by how much knowledge they share in this 200 hour YTT! The value of in-depth knowledge you receive from this course compared to others doesn’t even compare.

Another one of the things I loved about Loka Yoga School is that we actually learned more postures than most yoga schools teach in a YTT – this alone truly sets you up for success as a teacher and leaves you feeling confident in your understanding. On top of this, Taryn was able to actually show us and take us through various styles, flows, pranayamas, adjustments, corrections etc., to ensure we had a full breadth of understanding of how each pose or practice felt in the body. This is just one of many ways that truly make Loka Yoga stand out from other schools – both Taryn and Yann continue to learn and grow themselves, and they feed those learnings directly back into the content they share.

Taryn and Yann have so much experience, understanding and knowledge about yoga, anatomy, philosophy, and all things in between to become a yoga teacher. Taryn also brings a breadth of lived yogi & TT experience, which truly money can’t buy. The way she has designed this course allows you to feel like you can step straight into teaching, or deeper into your own practice.

While a YTT is an intense course given the volume you need to learn, I always felt supported and held by Taryn and Yann – from the initial conversations pre-YTT, through our preparation, to actually being in the training. They both took such great care at every stage of this training and always made space to answer any questions I had.

They have a super radiant and positive energy which makes it even better!

I am so excited to continue my learning with Loka Yoga through their YACEP online offerings!

Thank you SO, SO, SO much, Taryn and Yann – this was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience I will never forget, and I am so grateful I chose Loka Yoga School over any other school. It’s so evident and clear how much passion you both have for this ancient practice and everything connected to it.”
– Carollina Barylka (Australia)

Why the Hybrid is the smartest way to become a yoga teacher

For years, the only way to train with us was to give us 28 days of your life in Bali. Hundreds of graduates will tell you it was worth every one of them. But we also watched hundreds of people who wanted it just as much never make it, because a month away from work, family or study simply wasn’t possible. The Hybrid 200hr YTT was built for them.

6 reasons the Hybrid is a no-brainer!

✅ Same certificate. Same curriculum. Same teachers.

This is NOT a lighter version of our training. It is the complete Loka Yoga School 200-hour curriculum, fully accredited by Yoga Alliance, taught by Taryn, Yann and Stella, leading to the same RYS 200 certificate our residential graduates receive.

✈️ 5 days away, not 28.

Five days in Bali is a holiday you can actually take. Less time off work, one trip, 6 nights of accommodation instead of a month. The Hybrid typically saves our students thousands of dollars in travel and lost income, before you even look at the tuition.

🧠 Learn the theory properly, not after six hours on the mat.

In a residential YTT, anatomy, philosophy and physiology are squeezed between practices and asana posture labs, while you’re exhausted. Online, you study when you’re fresh, at your own pace, with lessons you can rewind. Students arrive in Bali knowing more than most residential students know on graduation day!

🌴 Every minute in Bali is spent doing what only Bali can do.

Because the theory is already done, your 5 days at the shala are spent entirely on posture workshops, hands-on assists and adjustments, sequencing, and your final teaching practicums with personal feedback. No lectures. No slide decks. Just you, your mat, your teachers and your cohort!

🛡️ Zero-risk start.

Not sure yet? Begin with the Online Component only. If you go on to complete the Hybrid YTT, every dollar you paid is credited in full towards it.

🗓️ 24 months’ access.

Every lesson, manual and recording stays yours for 24 months from enrolment. Your training doesn’t end at graduation; you can revisit it before every class you ever teach.

How it works...

1. Enrol and start today.

The moment you enrol, you receive instant access to the online component: 180 hours of training. Professionally pre-recorded lessons, guided meditation and breathwork practices and biomechanics, plus bonus content captured live during our in-person 200hr YTT (full-length yoga classes, guided meditations, pranayama and asana posture labs), and downloadable student manuals, expertly broken into modules to ensure optimal learning and retention.

2. Study at your own pace.

Move through the modules on your own schedule, from anywhere in the world. Most students complete the online component in two to four months, but there is no fixed deadline. You have 24 months’ access from enrolment. AND the system tracks your progress so you always know exactly where you are.

3. Five days in Bali. Graduate as a certified teacher.

Join one of our 5-day immersions at Bali Yoga Shala in Kedungu. Take part in posture workshops, receive hands-on assists and adjustments, refine your sequencing, complete your practicums, and graduate with your Yoga Alliance RYS 200 certificate!

Every hour of the Hybrid 200hr YTT is mapped to the Yoga Alliance categories below, and every hour exceeds what the standard requires.

Then, as a bonus, we filmed our in-person 200hr YTT, so you also get full-length yoga classes, guided meditations, pranayama and asana posture labs exactly as our residential students experience them. Nothing is a recording of someone else’s training.

📖 Written manuals for every module.

Downloadable student manuals accompany every subject, the same manuals our residential students describe as “a complete compilation” of the training.

Graduate Testimonials

ABOUT THE CURRICULUM

“It’s difficult to put into words how incredible my experience was with Loka Yoga School, completing my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training. I signed up for the course to learn more about yoga and to deepen my own personal practice but I left with more than I could ever have imagined. All expectations were well and truly exceeded! The way Taryn and Yann have designed the course is exceptional. Before completing the course I never thought I’d have the confidence and ability to teach a 60 minute class but you really are prepared for it. Taryn and Yann and the other teachers are all so knowledgeable and passionate about what they teach. Yann’s anatomy classes were always so well-informed but he delivers them in such a fun way. Taryn’s workshops were just amazing and I loved practicing different styles of yoga each morning from hatha, vinyasa and especially yin yoga!
Taryn and Yann have poured so much love and passion into Loka Yoga School and have created something so special. From day one they created such a safe, loving and accepting space for us all which allowed us to connect on a deeper level and become a yoga family. I am so grateful for the experience and it truly is life changing; it’s helped me with personal healing, transformed the way I see life and also myself in such a positive way. I couldn’t recommend it enough!”
– Rianna Farrow (England, UK)

“Completing my 200-hr YTT at Loka Yoga School has been the absolute best decision I’ve ever made. From the point of enrolling, Taryn was incredibly helpful while navigating the logistics of traveling across the world (from New Hampshire, USA!) and ensured that I received all the information to make the journey as smooth as possible. The program itself completely exceeded my expectations of what I thought I would get out of a yoga teacher training course. Every day is set up so there was time for learning, self reflection and growth. Classes built upon each other, learning aspects of yoga that changed how I think about life, seamlessly integrating anatomy, philosophy and asana (physical yoga practice). But the real aspect that will have a lasting effect on my life, is the family that I got from it. Taryn, Yann and the other instructors have created such a beautiful space that we walked in as a group of strangers, and walked out as yoga teachers and lifelong friends. I am forever grateful for this experience.”
– Nicole Brooks (USA)

“Signing up for this yoga teacher training is one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. I learnt, grew and changed for the better. Taryn, Yann and all the other teachers from Loka Yoga School were so much more than that, they genuinely care for each of their students. The classes, workshops and activities made the trip an amazing physical and spiritual ideal combination. Regardless of whether or not I choose to build a career in yoga now, the personal benefits and knowledge I have received is outstanding. I highly recommend doing this course and thank the Loka Yoga School team from the bottom of my heart for this life-changing experience.
Again, thanks a lot for the time! It was a pleasure.
– Theresa Nowicki-Waidelich (Netherlands)

“I wanted to express my words of gratitude to Taryn and Yann for the wonderful experience during my 200 YTT. I went in expecting to learn yoga postures to teach a class, but what I received was SO MUCH MORE. I experienced personal growth, confidence and tools that I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. Their experience and knowledge shone through from the moment the course began and carried right through till the end.
I wasn’t expecting to feel so different and the training has surpassed all expectations. If you’re on the fence as to whether you should do your training, trust yourself and take the plunge as you 100% won’t regret it. Best thing I’ve done for myself in years!!“
– Angeline Norton (Australia)

ABOUT TARYN & YANN

“Taryn and Yann, have created a magical space that truly holds the power to transform people’s lives in the best of ways. I am incredibly grateful for all they have provided me with, and I am beyond thankful to have them in my life as mentors and friends. A massive THANK YOU to them both for inspiring me and preparing me to teach yoga and share the valuable knowledge they have given me. I truly do not know where to begin, but I will start by saying that this place has transformed my life in the most incredible ways. I thought I was going to Loka Yoga to be certified as a yoga instructor, but after leaving, I realized that I gained so much more than just a certificate. I gained knowledge and ancient wisdom on yoga from Taryn. Throughout the course, Taryn constantly referenced the origins of yoga, whether through her usage of Sanskrit, explaining the philosophy behind certain asanas (postures), or sharing the mythologies and stories surrounding yoga. I gained invaluable insights and teachings about life, philosophy, and being human. The Yoga Philosophy classes were life-changing. I already incorporate many of the lessons from this class into my daily life. Learning about ancient yoga philosophy and adapting it to our reality today has been truly transformative. Huge kudos to Taryn for structuring the philosophy curriculum in this incredible way.
I learned so much about my own body and my future students’ bodies through Yann’s anatomy classes. Anatomy has helped me look at yoga differently. It allowed me to “feel” yoga and its subtle effects on every part of my body. The course covers all aspects of anatomy relevant to any yoga instructor and more.
I gained incredible knowledge from our asana posture labs led by Taryn, which dive deep into each yoga posture, explaining all the anatomical and spiritual benefits of the pose, providing us with various adjustments and options for our own teachings. I learned so much about Yoga Mechanics from Stella’s classes. I truly enjoyed Deva’s contributions to the course through music and dance, which were pivotal in helping me find my own voice as a teacher.
Above all, I was granted a little family that I will forever cherish. Thanks to Loka Yoga, I fostered everlasting bonds with a group of fellow yogis. We shared each other’s presence for a whole month, laughter, tears, and memories that will forever live in my heart.”
– Orchida Wesam (Egypt)

“My experience with Loka Yoga School has been truly AMAZING! I first joined their retreat in April 2023 when I got to know Taryn and I became so inspired by the love, dedication and commitment to what she does. So, I decided to join their 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in July 2023 (knowing that there’s nowhere else I’d rather go for this experience). I have complete trust in Taryn and Yann and the other Loka Yoga School teachers; with their knowledge, experience, professionalism and their kind and loving hearts.
Taryn’s way of teaching was really awesome. She has also supported me through the challenges I face, all physically, mentally and emotionally and I came out feeling stronger and so proud of myself. Yann has in-depth knowledge in Anatomy. He made the class very interesting and he also made it possible for me (non native English speaker) to understand. The philosophy classes were truly something I looked forward to everyday. I have learned so much and above all I had a really good time and I got to meet some great friends from around the world. Thank you so much, Taryn, Yann and all Loka Yoga School teachers! It was an experience I will always cherish.”
– Achita Singhaseni (Thailand)

“After many hours of research and contemplation, I finally decided on Loka Yoga School… And I’m so grateful to have made this decision, especially now that I am able to reflect upon a life-changing and rewarding journey! The programme has been constructed so intentionally, it is filled with all the tools you need to teach and so much more! I’ve left Loka Yoga with so much more confidence, knowledge and an even greater love and dedication to yoga. Taryn is the most beautiful soul and a phenomenal teacher with so much experience and wisdom. She is truly dedicated to what she does and puts in so much love and energy. She truly cares for each student and ensures you get the most out of the training. This incredible energy, passion and knowledge is consistent from the other teachers also whom I am so grateful for as they are all truly incredible. I cannot recommend this yoga school enough, Loka yoga will offer everything you need and more. This training will help you grow in so many ways and offer you the most unique and fulfilling experience. Thank You!”
– Justine McGartland (Wales, UK)

“One of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life was choosing this 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training. It was truly unique for me. Taryn believed in me before even knowing me, welcoming me from the bottom of her heart. She honored me by bringing me into her journey, despite my vision and hearing impairment. This was the most surprising and rewarding aspect that affirmed my decision to join this incredible school. The support and love I received from this school fulfilled everything I was searching for. They embraced me warmly, making me feel deeply appreciated. This training has left a lasting impression on my heart, one that I will never forget. Taryn and Yann provided me with all the knowledge and tools necessary to become a great yoga teacher. Taryn, in particular, is an exceptional yoga teacher. I give her a perfect score of 100/100. She goes above and beyond, giving her all for her students. She creates a wonderful and comfortable space, both externally and internally, allowing you to feel free and fully present in your practice of asanas and pranayama. She encourages you to channel all your energy because she herself puts so much passion into what she does. Yann is an excellent anatomy teacher; capable of answering any and all questions thrown his way and making classes so fun and engaging.
The best aspect of this school is the blend of ancient and modern yoga practices. This combination was exactly what I needed. The accommodation is incredibly relaxing and comfortable, and the atmosphere is serene. I couldn’t be more grateful for discovering this training and being a part of it. All my love.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be qualified to teach yoga after the Hybrid 200hr YTT?

Yes. Loka Yoga School is internationally certified and accredited with Yoga Alliance, with a 5-star rating. On completion of the online component and the 5-day immersion you receive an RYS 200 certificate and can register with Yoga Alliance as an RYT 200. It is the same certificate as our residential training.

How is the training split between online and in person?

180 hours online, at your own pace: professionally pre-recorded lessons in techniques, anatomy, physiology and biomechanics, yoga philosophy and humanities, teaching methodology and practicum preparation, with guided meditation and breathwork practices, plus bonus full-length yoga classes, guided meditations, pranayama and asana posture labs captured live during our in-person 200hr YTT. 20 hours in person over 5 days at Bali Yoga Shala: posture workshops, assists and adjustments, sequencing, and your teaching practicums with live feedback.

Do I have to finish the online component before I arrive in Bali?

Yes. The immersion assumes you’ve completed the theory, which is exactly why every hour in Bali can be spent on practice and teaching rather than lectures.

Is 200 hours enough to teach yoga?

According to international Yoga Alliance, 200 hours of training is considered the minimum training required to start teaching. After completing a 200 hour YTT, you may register with Yoga Alliance. This is referred to as ‘RYT-200’, meaning ‘Registered Yoga Teacher 200 hours’. Local or national yoga bodies may have different requirements.

If you wish to continue your studies, check out our YACEP courses for advanced education!

I don't intend to teach. Can I still join?

Absolutely. Many students join to deepen their own practice and understanding. You can also choose the Online Component only, with no immersion and no certificate, and upgrade later if you change your mind.

Do the immersion days include breaks and free time?

Yes. An hour for breakfast and a 90-minute lunch break each day, and we finish by 5pm. Kedungu is surrounded by wonderful cafes and restaurants, and the beach is a short walk away.

I have completed your Yin Yoga, Breathwork and Meditation trainings. Do these hours count towards my 200 hour certificate?

No they do not, these courses are separate Advanced Education modules. Loka Yoga School offers many online trainings which are certified with Yoga Alliance as Continued Education. This means that, once you are a member of Yoga Alliance (or another association), you may log your training hours. However, the 200 hour Yoga Teacher Trainings we host online or in-person are comprehensive and guide you through the relevant anatomy, physiology, philosophy, teaching skills, knowledge and practicums required to develop your awareness and understanding and prepare you to teach confidently and successfully to all ages and capabilities. It is a broad awareness of Yoga as a whole; our online trainings zone in on each topic respectively. Graduates and students of Loka Yoga School receive exclusive discounts off our online trainings, to support their continued education, yoga toolkit and teaching success!

Why does a yoga teacher training cost this much?

Because every one of the 200 hours is taught by an expert with more than 15 years’ experience in their field, the online lessons were professionally produced, with bonus content captured live during our in-person training, and your five days in Bali are spent in a purpose-built shala with a class capped at 16. You’ll pay less for the complete Hybrid YTT, meals included, than for 1 single week in a 5-star resort.

How long do I have to complete the online component?

There’s no fixed deadline. You have 24 months’ access from enrolment. Most students complete it in two to four months alongside work or study.

I can't do a handstand / headstand / touch my toes. Can I still do a 200 hour YTT?

YES YOU CAN! Not only will you learn how to work with your limitations to improve your flexibility, strength or confidence in every pose, you will understand why these signals your body is sending you is actually a good thing! Our injuries or physical restrictions are often our greatest teacher; we learn more about our bodies, ourselves and they teach us patience.

When can I start?

Right now. Access to the online component is instant on enrolment.

My partner wishes to stay with me, however is not attending the training. Is this okay?

YES!

I am a beginner to yoga, with less than 6 months experience. Can I complete the Hybrid 200hr YTT?

The Hybrid 200hr YTT is a comprehensive, internationally certified teacher training rather than a beginner’s course, so we recommend a basic level of experience: you know the common poses and have a regular practice. If you’re unsure, message us; we’re always honest about whether the timing is right.

Can I start with the online component and decide later?

Yes, and there’s no penalty for doing so. If you go on to enrol in the Hybrid YTT, your $999 is credited in full.

What if I can't make any of the published immersion dates?

Your online access lasts 24 months, so you simply join a later immersion. We run several each year.

Do I receive a course manual?

Yes. Downloadable student manuals accompany every module, and you keep access to all training material for 24 months through our learning platform.

Can I teach yoga without a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training qualification?

Legally, you do not need a 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training certificate to teach yoga. Most yoga studios, fitness centers, gyms, and insurance companies require their instructors to have a 200 hour certificate as a minimum, to either teach or be insured.

Still got questions?

We believe that a 200hr YTT is a massive step in one’s yoga journey and it is an honour and privilege to be a part of your journey.

It is extremely important to us that you always feel safe, comfortable, excited, prepared and aligned with our values and teaching at Loka Yoga School.

Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you have…no question is too big or too small!
