My journey to Bali did not begin with East West Yoga. Another organization’s mass advertising, lead me to the idea. Their lack of response with my research and powerful conversation with the owner Cody laid the path for the most profound … More 3 weeks (plus 8 days extra) experience. From the accommodations, to the amazing food from the most amazing staff at the Ananda Ubud Resort, to the most Dynamic Ranty Who is your first point of contact, not to mention a Bali ambassador and East West magic maker. When Cody said he had a powerful team in Bali, he was not joking. As somebody who had come to this program, knowing it would alter everything for me. My knowledge of yoga, my commitment and discipline to my new daily practice and my all around understanding, this couldn’t have been a better choice. I was one of the individuals that just had 20 yoga classes under my belt, Not, a daily practice. I have been doing for years. This meant when they would say Vinyasa, I would have to look it up. But that’s the Beauty of this program is it meet you where you are to help you start and/or grow in your journey.
When I first arrived at Bali, I met up with an individual Who is keeping Yoga at a very well known Yoga location in Ubud. When I started with my story and she heard the other organization’s name, Terror briefly came across her face. But when I told her I was going to East West, she said Michelle, oh my gosh. I just looked them up and the individuals that are involved in their teaching are people that are known throughout Bali, but also internationally as some of the most dynamic individuals to learn from. I’ve worked personally with many of these individuals and you couldn’t have picked a better group of people to be trained by. So let me remind you that this is somebody that I met outside of East West throw another friend after I landed in Bali , What amazing confirmation that Me. One of the biggest parts of this trip for me was allowing the trust within my intuition and Of source to grow and allow me to Open up Or transcend into a new awareness. It did not disappoint. The teaching staff was phenomenal. From the opening ceremony to our celebration of completion, Kimberly, Akshay, Sujay, and Michael made sure that our confidence was solid because our knowledge and foundation was. The Jun2005 200YTT cohort became family. We came together and grew and celebrated each other’s Challenges, Difficulties, And most of all successes. Our teaching assistant Trish was Such a gift. As of previous student, she was able to provide not only support Insight to things that felt overwhelming in the moment Helping us to relax and experience what was happening By staying present. Honestly, my only complaint None of us were ready for it to end. It came home very very quickly and very easily. I taught my first class today on the outside lol, And my student said amazing. See you next week. There are no words to express how Grateful I am. Thank you and I can’t wait to come back for more.
Sidenote: Bring a bandanna so when you get on the bikes, you can wear it under the helmets. Also, you’ve got to check out Rusters They have the best mocha glaze, croissant and spanakopita And smoothies I’ve ever had in my life. Honestly, all the food that I ate was fantastic. And no, I didn’t get Bali Belly and I think only one person did after eating some food that she questioned in the first place. If you choose East West, congratulations and welcome to the family

I have so many good things to say about this yoga school, yet words hardly seem enough. I completed the 300-hour teacher training and truly appreciate how East West approaches yoga in such a holistic way. One of the most remarkable aspects … More is the diversity of perspectives in their teachings, thanks to trainers from various nationalities and backgrounds. They cared for every participant without exception. I'm deeply grateful to be part of the East West family.

An experience unlike any other…I would do my 200 hour YTT at East+West over and over and over again if I could! Whether you want to teach yoga or just deepen your own practice this program and these teachers go above and beyond to break … More down the physical asanas, diver deeper into all eight limbs of yoga, and give you an extraordinary intro into the art of breath work and meditation. The Ananda atmosphere is kind and welcoming and it truly just felt like home…and the SHALA- oh my goodness, what an incredible place to spend your days! I promise you, choosing EW for your YTT will be one of your greatest life decisions!

Tough to put into words, but one of the best experiences. The teachers are extremely knowledgeable and caring, and the program is structured in such a way that balances the physical practice, while also including philosophy, anatomy, and … More mental health, and hands on teaching experience. The schedule is packed in the best way, and you leave with so much more than expected. On top of this, all of the logistics are clearly outlined, I always felt like I could ask any question about my arrival, what to pack, etc and it was answered right away. I’m excited to put everything I learned into practice and to have lifelong friends.

Truly a life changing experience. It’s so hard to put into words. Yoga has always been an external coping mechanism for me and East+West has shown me yoga is within me. I have everything I need within myself. I am my own eternal peace. … More This was so much more than a YTT for me, it was gaining a cosmic family and shedding layers of myself daily. The team and staff work so hard to help us feel at home in Bali. I say invest in yourself and go for it!
