200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training and Wellness Retreat in Ubud, Bali

The 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in Ubud is a fusion of physical, spiritual, and personal development, designed to transform you from a student into a confident, authentic teacher. Unlike many programs that focus solely on asana, this training integrates ancient yoga philosophy, modern psychology, and personal coaching to help you define your own path. You'll explore the eight limbs of yoga, learn about Ayurveda through a body-type analysis, and take an Enneagram personality test to deepen your self-understanding.

The training is led by Katherine Sophia, a Master Yogini and the founder of YiA International School of Transformation & Yoga. With experience in over 40 countries, she brings a global perspective to her teaching. She is known for her compassionate, space-holding style that turns groups of strangers into a loving community. The teaching team also includes other YiA trainers and guest teachers, ensuring a well-rounded education. The small group size, capped at five students, allows for individualized attention and hands-on practice teaching each day.

The location in Ubud, Bali, enhances the transformative experience. Known as the spiritual and cultural heart of Bali, Ubud is surrounded by lush rice terraces, temples, and a vibrant wellness scene. The villa, a colonial-style property with a private pool, is a sanctuary for relaxation and study. You'll also participate in a water temple purification ceremony at Tirta Empul, a 1,000-year-old sacred spring, and take a trip to Sanur Beach for an asana practice on the sand.

What truly sets this training apart is its holistic approach to teaching. You'll not only learn how to sequence a class and adjust students but also how to hold space and connect with your future students on a deeper level. The program includes a posture clinic to dissect key asanas, peak pose sequencing, and class design worksheets. By the end, you'll have the confidence to teach a full class in a style that feels authentic to you—whether that's vinyasa, yin, restorative, or even AcroYoga.
