50-Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training and Wellness Escape in Uluwatu, Bali

The course runs six days, starting Monday afternoon with orientation and a Yin class, and finishing Saturday at lunch after a closing ceremony. Each day follows a rhythm: a 90-minute Yin practice at 7 AM, breakfast, then a morning workshop (Asana Lab, Teaching Methodology, or Sequencing), lunch, and an afternoon session on anatomy, adjustments, or student teaching. One afternoon is devoted to beach yoga, and there's a Yin Yang class most evenings to balance the stillness with gentle movement.

What makes this different from a general yoga retreat is the teaching component. You don't just do the yoga—you learn how it works. Anatomy sessions break down poses by joint and tissue, explaining why long holds are safe and how to guide students into them. You practice teaching every day, starting with short cueing drills and building to a full 60-minute class you design yourself on the last day. It's challenging in a good way, and the instructors are there to give detailed feedback, not just praise.

The location is a big part of the experience. Le Bamboo is a bohemian resort with an infinity pool that looks straight out to the Indian Ocean. The shala is surrounded by tropical gardens, and the village of Bingin is a few minutes walk—cliffside cafés, warungs, and paths down to beaches like Bingin and Padang Padang. After classes you can swim in the pool, get a Balinese massage (included in the package), or walk down to the beach for a sunset surf session.

Ulu Yoga's trainers bring different specialties. Eddie founded the school in 2014 after a decade of study in India and Thailand. Prashant is a senior trainer from Rishikesh with a biomechanics background. Marylene is an osteopath and ERYT-500 who focuses on anatomy and therapeutic yoga. The team rotates across trainings, so you'll likely meet two or three of them during your week. They're all experienced, approachable, and genuinely interested in helping you become a better practitioner and teacher.
