21-Day Yoga Teacher Training and Spiritual Wellness Retreat in Pemuteran, Bali

Pemuteran, on Bali's northwest coast, is a world away from the busy southern tourist hubs. The retreat is based at Sumberkima Hill, a property that clings to the hillside with sweeping views over the Bali Sea, lush valleys, and the distant volcanoes of Java. The setting alone is worth the journey. But what truly sets this training apart is the curriculum. SYI (Soul Yoga Institute) weaves the ancient philosophies of yoga together with Peruvian shamanism. Each day carries an intention, explored through meditation, practice, and discussion. You'll study the Yoga Sutras, learn about Ayurveda and yogic diet, practice pranayama and kriyas, and delve into the chakras and energetic anatomy. The training is structured so that mornings are dedicated to core teaching principles and afternoons break down the poses in detail. You'll learn to teach two specific sequences—the Mystical Hatha flow, a slow, meditative practice, and the Mystical Vinyasa flow, a more dynamic, breath-synchronized practice—giving you a solid foundation to create your own classes. The lead instructors, April and Javiera, are seasoned teachers who bring their own diverse backgrounds and warmth to the program. April, a yoga teacher, Ayurveda massage practitioner, Reiki healer, and trauma-informed doula, brings a deep understanding of healing and empowerment. Javiera, a physiotherapist from Chile, focuses on connecting students to their breath and helping them acknowledge and work within their limitations. Their teaching is complemented by a dedicated support team, including guest facilitators and the welcoming staff at the retreat center, who ensure everything runs smoothly and make you feel like part of the family. Every fifth day is a day off, with optional excursions to explore the area: visit a turtle conservation farm, hike Mount Batur at sunrise, go cycling, or join a purification ceremony at Tirta Empul. It's a comprehensive and transformative three weeks.
