The Evolution of the Mindful Bali 300 Hour YTT

Bhakti & Sober Circles, Resting with the Sutras & Yoga Leadership

May 11, 2026

When I first started leading Yoga Teacher Trainings in 2021, I had no idea how much my teaching would evolve over the years.

The foundation of our 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training has stayed mostly the same. This is the beginners, 21 day course, that anyone who wants to be a yoga teacher needs to take! The structure works. It is immersive, transformational, and rooted in daily practice, philosophy, teaching methodology, and community.

But the 300 Hour YTT has changed alongside me. The 300 Hour is the advanced training.

Over the past few years, my own practice has deepened far beyond asana. I have fallen more deeply into bhakti yoga, mantra, kirtan, meditation, yin yoga, Yoga Sutra study, and the spiritual heart of the practice. I have also become increasingly passionate about helping yoga teachers not only become better teachers, but sustainable leaders: people who can actually build meaningful careers and communities through yoga.

So this year, I’ve been thinking lots about restructuring the program, and this is it’s new design.

Instead of one broad advanced training, or six 50-hour modules (which was a lot of pieces!) the Mindful Bali 300 Hour YTT is now divided into three distinct 100 Hour modules.

Each one has its own focus, energy, and purpose.

You can take them individually, or combine all three together to complete your full 300 Hour certification.

And next February - March, I will be offering all three modules consecutively in Bali, with short integration breaks between each training.

The Three Modules

1. Bhakti & Circles (100 Hours) (NEXT ONE ALREADY HALF SOLD OUT!)

This training is for yoga teachers who want to deepen the spiritual and devotional side of their teaching.

We will explore:

Kirtan & mantra
Harmonium basics
Bhakti philosophy
The Bhagavad Gita (Optional Online Add-On)
Sacred storytelling
Circle facilitation
Women’s circles & sharing spaces
Meditation & chanting practices
Building authentic spiritual community

This module is deeply heart-opening. It is designed for teachers who want to learn how to hold transformational spaces, not just teach yoga poses.

Expect morning practices, philosophy sessions, kirtans, circle work, and evenings filled with music, devotion, and connection.

The next training is January 28 - February 10, 2027 - and i

t is already half sold out, since I previously announced it to my India retreat from this year and current YTT group! You can save a spot here.

2. Yoga Leadership (100 Hours)

This module blends advanced teaching methodology with yoga entrepreneurship and leadership development.

This is the training I wish existed when I first became a yoga teacher.

We focus on:

Asana adjustments & assists
Intelligent sequencing
Practice teaching
Workshop creation
Public speaking
Retreat leadership
Building a yoga business
Marketing authentically
Creating offerings aligned with dharma
Leadership through service

The days are immersive and practical.

You will teach. Receive feedback. Refine your voice. Build workshops. Learn how to lead retreats. Learn how to create sustainable offerings online and in person.

This training is for yoga teachers who are ready to step into a career in yoga. Our next training is February 14 - 24, 2027 and you can sign up here!

3. Yin & Sutras (100 Hours)

This module is inspired by my weekly class, Resting with the Sutras.

It combines Yin Yoga, meditation, nervous system healing, and deep study of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.

Inside the training, we explore:

Yin Yoga sequencing
Nervous system regulation
Meditation
Pranayama
Yoga philosophy such as yama and niyama, the kleshas & vrittis, etc. We look at every single sutra in Patanjali’s sutras during a deep book study.
Dharma & spiritual practice
Trauma-informed space holding
Yin assists
The integration of ancient teachings into modern life

This training is slower, quieter, and deeply introspective.

It is designed for teachers who want to move beyond performance-based yoga culture and reconnect to the deeper purpose of practice. I will offer this once in November 2026 - and once in February 2027. You can sign up here!

Take One Module — Or All Three

Each module can be taken independently as a standalone 100 Hour training.

So far I have the next Yin & Yoga Sutras training planned for November, November 1 - 10, 2026!

But in February 2027, I will be offering all three trainings back-to-back in Bali for students who want to complete their full 300 Hour certification in one immersive journey.

There will be short three-day breaks between each module to rest, integrate, explore Bali, and reset before beginning the next phase.

Why Bali?

There is something that happens when you step away from your normal life and immerse yourself fully in practice.

You wake up at sunrise.
You chant with community.
You practice every day.
You eat nourishing food.
You study philosophy.
You have conversations that matter.
You reconnect to yourself.

Bali has been that place for me for many years now.

The trainings are intentionally small and intimate, held at our home shala in Bali, where students practice closely together in community rather than disappearing into massive commercial trainings.

This is not a “factory style” certification.

It is a deeply personal experience.

If you feel called toward deeper study, devotion, leadership, healing, or transformation, I would love to welcome you to Bali for one of these trainings.

With love,
Alexandra
