200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Testimonials
Catherine Godden Australia | The Yoga Garden Lembongan Google Review Jan 2026
Completing my 200-hour yoga teacher training with Akira Yoga in Nusa Lembongan was a truly special & life-affirming experience. From the very beginning, I felt supported, welcomed & cared for in every way. The teachers were loving, compassionate & highly knowledgeable, creating a safe & encouraging space to learn, grow & challenge ourselves. The training was thorough & well-structured, with the unique addition of Traditional Chinese Medicine within the Yin Yoga teachings. The sense of community, both within the group & the local island environment, made the experience deeply meaningful

Lenka Pavlíčková Soviet Union |The Yoga Garden Lembongan Google Review November 2023
I recently completed a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training focusing on Vinyasa & Yin Yoga. Claire guided us through the Yin component, surpassing my expectations with her depth of knowledge, clear explanations, enthusiasm & understanding of both yoga & Chinese medicine.
The asana labs were fascinating, emphasising anatomical differences, correct use of the body & the uniqueness of each student. Exploring bone structure & hip mobility completely reshaped how I understand my own body.
Claire’s openness about her own limitations created a supportive environment where we were encouraged to prioritise feeling good in our bodies over striving for perfection.

INNERSTATE By Maisieopen_ Yoga Garden Lembongan Google Review June 2026
I recently finished my 100hr Yin Yoga + TCM TTC with Claire (Akira Yoga) at The Yoga Garden on Nusa L – and it’s honestly hard to find the right words for such an incredible experience.
The high quality training, fantastic teacher, beautiful setting, and amazing staff (and paws!) I met along the way.. truly only scratches the surface of just how good this TTC was.
If you are looking to do your Yin Yoga TTC, or curious to dip your toes in the world of it – I HIGHLY recommend coming here. An experience to last a life time!
D Nais | Yoga Garden Lembongan Google Review June 2026
Claire & the team at the @akirayoga have built a very special offering for the 100-Hour Yin Yoga and Chinese Medicine teacher training. The program is incredibly comprehensive, and builds knowledge through practice, observation, lectures. It was lovely to see the participants deliver really beautiful Yin sessions in their teaching session in the final days of the program. Many beautiful opportunities not only to develop Yin & CM skills, but meet great people from around the world. The shala is exceptionally beautiful as is Nusa Lembongan. Highly recommend.
Caoimhe D| Akirayoga Wetravel Review May 2026
I loved this course! The content was so interesting and the training was well planned with a mix of theory and asana labs. I loved having the yoga classes to start and end the day with. You can see that Claire is very knowledgable and passionate on these topics so it was a great learning experience
Dani Edwards |The Yoga Garden Lembongan Google Review April 2026
This course and place are truly outstanding. I would say Claire is one of the most experienced teachers in this field. The depth and dedication she brings to both TCM and Yoga — and her ability to weave them together — allows her to teach the practice and benefits of Yin Yoga with great care and attention to detail. It’s truly impactful.
The Yoga Garden is absolutely stunning — built in bamboo, immersed in nature — the perfect space, with an incredible staff that supports deep relaxation and nervous system regulation.

I loved the way Claire has created the 100 hour Yin Yoga & Chinese Medicine course. Each day lectures & classes come in a logical way. It doesn’t matter if you have zero knowledge or already some experience in a topic, you can still participate & learn new things. Classes support the lectures & safely held room by Claire makes the whole experience very special. I am very thankful I could participate in this course!!!

The 100-Hour Yin Yoga & Chinese Medicine training was clearly structured & easy to follow, with space to ask questions both during & outside of class. Claire was highly supportive & made herself available throughout the training.
Morning asana practice, led by Tia, was thoughtfully designed to align with the theory, deepening understanding through embodied learning. When we taught practice classes, Claire offered constructive, practical feedback that supported confidence & progression into teaching.
Hyunkyung Chang China | The Yoga Garden Lembongan Google Review December 2024
For anyone serious about deepening their Yin Yoga practice or preparing to teach, the 100-Hour Yin Yoga & Chinese Medicine training at Akira Yoga offers a well-held & comprehensive learning experience.
The combination of Claire’s clear, experienced leadership, Thia’s supportive morning sessions, & a thoughtfully structured curriculum created real depth in both practice & understanding. The training explored Yin Yoga alongside Traditional Chinese Medicine in a way that felt grounded, accessible, & meaningful.
Julie Hatfield Australia | The Yoga Garden Lembongan Google Review November 2024
Akira Yoga’s 50- hour Yin Yoga & Chinese Medicine program was excellent. Claire has such a wealth of knowledge, experience & passion, & is a thoughtful and effective teacher. The Yoga Garden shala is very beautiful & the nearby cafe, Cookies, is a great place to hang out & enjoy delicious food (with plenty of V options). Located close to Lembongan’s best beaches, this has to be one of the best places to undertake Yin training.

Edyta-Anna Poland | Yin Yoga & Chinese Medicine Bali TTC August 2023 The Yoga Garden Lembongan Google Review
The 100-Hour Yin Yoga & Chinese Medicine training with Claire was my first in-depth yoga training & marked an important step in my yoga path.
Coming from a more Yang-focused practice, Yin Yoga offered a new way of understanding the body & practice. Claire’s teaching was clear, well-grounded, & conscientious, drawing on her many years of experience in Yin Yoga & Chinese Medicine.
The knowledge gained during this training continues to inform my current 200-hour teacher training, offering a strong foundation I still return to.
