“Amazing and transformative”

A truly transformative training and amazing experience over the past month engaging with the Vinyasa and Yin Teacher Training course @YogaDunia. Audrey, Pilu, Claire, and Thia have been great support, very welcoming, and amazing. The Shala is a great open space. If you are looking for a great Yoga teacher training course, I totally recommend Yoga Dunia! Planning my next trip already…

I learnt so much not only about teaching but also about my own practice, met so many amazing people including Audrey, Pilu and Claire who run the course, and got to live on the beautiful island of Nusa Lembongan for a month. If you’re thinking about signing up for teacher training do it, you won’t regret it!

If you are wanting a yoga teacher training that is well organised and professionally run whilst also being welcoming , inclusive and supportive sign up with Yoga Dunia Lembongan.
Thank you Audrey, Claire and Pilu for your dedication to providing a Yoga training that comes from the heart.
