50 Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Uluwatu, Bali

The retreat takes place at Salty Prana Retreat Center in Uluwatu, a cliff-top area famous for its surf breaks, white-sand beaches, and the iconic Uluwatu Temple. The center is part of Hidden Valley Resort, surrounded by tropical gardens and offering a pool, yoga shala, and restaurant. The training is led by Benjamin Nilon, an Australian surfer turned yoga teacher, and Celine, a Swiss yogi who found her path in India. Together, they bring a balanced male-female, Yin-Yang perspective to the teaching.

Over five days of study and practice, you'll cover Yin Yoga philosophy, anatomy, meridian theory, and the art of sequencing and adjusting. Each day includes both asana practice and theory sessions, with time set aside for self-study and practice teaching. The program emphasizes depth over breadth—rather than trying to cover many styles, it helps you deepen your existing practice and grow as a person. As one past student put it, "Their philosophy is different from the typical YTT you'll find."

What sets this training apart is the setting and the community. You're not stuck in a studio all day; you're in Bali, with the ocean nearby and a relaxed, supportive vibe. The schedule leaves room for beach time, socializing, and rest, so you never feel stressed or rushed. The food is healthy and organic, served in the garden or by the pool, and there's a coffee shop and juice bar on site.

Accommodation options range from a private superior room to shared twin and quad rooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, A/C, and lovely views. The quad room is a two-story loft with a mix of single and bunk beds—great for solo travelers looking to connect. The training also includes extras like a course manual, professional photos, a school t-shirt and tote bag, and evening activities.

By the end, you'll leave with a 50-hour Yin Yoga certification, a deeper understanding of yourself, and likely a few new friends. The training is designed to be realistic and applicable—you'll learn how to teach a full Yin class with confidence, and how to bring more stillness and balance into your daily life.
