International Yoga Teacher
Training Courses
Loka Yoga teacher training provides a unique opportunity to study and practice yoga in a setting that differentiates itself by offering not only yogic practices but also by providing the correct understanding, traditions, context and meaning of yogic science, asana and philosophy. We have a strong focus on combining the ancient knowledge of the East with the latest understandings and research coming out of the West.
Our team is made up of practitioners completely committed to our fields of expertise. By dedicating our lives to our self practice and development, we have gained the ability to aid others take their next step on their journey.
This course beautifully blends the traditional Hatha Yoga while implementing today’s modern Vinyasa Flow. It brings you a balance between a holistic, grounding practice and a strong dynamic style. As a result, you will walk out with a solid foundation in two Yoga styles, giving you dynamic range as a teacher. The training is designed to have a completely interactive experience, giving our students the opportunity to not only study the “map” of yogic teachings, but also explore the “territory” internally through deep practices that will be closely facilitated. The course has been created in this way to ensure the graduates will be teaching from a place of true experiential wisdom, rather than borrowed knowledge from books.
You will be given the tools to create sequenced classes in addition to a strong base for growing your personal practice in the future. With our Bali yoga teacher training, you can connect with your inner self on this path to find out your personal style and learn how you would best be able to share with everyone. Most of all, this training will give you the opportunity of self-discovery through the ancient science of Yoga.

This online Yin Yoga teacher training gave me a deeper insight into the practice of Yin Yoga. I feel I have the knowledge to safely deliver a Yin class, ensuring my students are safe and being able to offer adjustments with props to support my students. There were fully comprehensive anatomy modules that delve into all areas of human anatomy, with a particular focus on the ‘why’ of Yin which was really interesting. Both Taryn and Yann have built a strong online program whereby you can learn at your own pace – this was great for me as yoga is my passion and not (yet) my full time career! It really gives you a good understanding of the practice of Yin Yoga. There was online support where needed and the interface was really easy to navigate. Thank you Loka Yoga School!

Why join Loka Yoga for your next teacher training course?
Our team of expert instructors have had the honor of training students from all over the world. Our love, passion, dedication and devotion to yoga has shaped our program to be an authentic yoga teacher training, rooted in ancient Indian history.
With a curriculum formulated to elevate your understanding of yoga, expand your spiritual knowledge, and maximize your teaching potential, you are sure to graduate from our program feeling confident in your ability to share the joy of yoga with others.
Our lead yoga teachers are comprised of a highly educated, diverse team with many years of teaching experience. We also immerse our students in the vibrant local culture of Bali by offering guided tours and excursions.
One of the best things about training with us at Loka Yoga School is the exposure to all aspects of the yogic lifestyle, as well as various yoga styles.
In our teachings we go beyond knowledge borrowed from books. We explore the deep meaning of the practice, focusing not only on the physicality of the practice, but also on it’s effect on the mind and spirit.
For us Yoga is a science for creating inner union and inner wellbeing. While we focus mostly on the traditions of Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin, we also incorporate Astanga, Iyengar yoga, Power yoga, Sivananda yoga, AcroYoga, and Partner yoga classes.
We understand that peoples’ bodies are different and will benefit from different practices; some a more active vinyasa, while for others the slower, meditative Hatha style will be better for their mind and body. We want to prepare you to teach in the style which will best serve you in the future.
At the end of this yoga teacher training, you will receive the internationally certified Loka Yoga School and Yoga Alliance certificate from our accredited and reputable Bali yoga school. This means you will become a part of the alumni of students who we are proud to provide references for, should you choose to interview for a teaching position anywhere in the world.
Our students are regarded highly as we are a fully legal, established school with a top-ranking curriculum exceeding the minimum requirements.
The freedom and openness of our program will allow you to experiment with asanas from different yoga traditions, choosing to follow whichever you please, or perhaps even creating your own style!
There is no other place quite like Bali to study yoga, and there is no other yoga school quite like Loka Yoga!
