JOIN US IN THE SACRED LAND OF BALI

Commit to yourself and your future as you check off the incredibly sacred place of Ubud, Bali from your bucket list! This tropical rainforest is the perfect location to immerse yourself in our 200hr yoga teacher training program! The breathtaking landscapes of Ubud hold such a special place in our hearts. With awe-inspiring Hindu temples and terraced rice paddies, this area seems like it is straight out of a fantasy world. Experience this holy land and feel the reasons why they call it “The Land Of The Gods.”

 

The School Yoga Institute Mystical 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training was built with a strong intention for personal growth, empowerment, and expansion. We provide our students with tools to share the wisdom of yoga with others, but also to look at their own lives from a spiritual perspective.

 

Our 200-hour certification provides students with a strong foundation in yoga philosophy, the Shamanic Medicine Wheel, and Yoga Asana (cueing, alignment, anatomy, and hands-on adjustments). The training focuses on a combination of classical Hatha Yoga and modern Vinyasa Yoga.

 

To guide this journey of deep expansion and self-reflection, our Mystical 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training draws on the ancient wisdom of the Shamanic Medicine Wheel. Each training is arranged in four cycles, following the four cardinal directions of the shamanic medicine wheel. Each of the directions is associated with an animal spirit — The Wind of the South, the Serpent, leads us to shed that which is no longer serving us. The Wind of the West, the Jaguar, shows us how to face our shadows with courage. The Wind of the North, the Hummingbird, guides us on an epic journey of sweetness and joy. The Wind of the East, the Eagle, teaches us to see the world and what is possible from a newfound perspective.

 

During the first two cycles of the training, students practice and learn to teach our Mystical Hatha Flow Yoga from the Classical Sivananda Yoga Tradition. Throughout the last two cycles of the training, students practice and learn to teach a Mystical Vinyasa Flow based on the Ashtanga Vinyasa tradition. Learning to practice and teach both of these styles of yoga gives students a strong foundation in yoga asana that can be applied to any teaching style and setting.

MYSTICAL YOGA 200 HOUR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING

Mystical Yoga, or yoga of spiritual practice, reaches deep into the roots of an ancient way of life

Each training holds unique energy, created from like minded souls who join from all over the world. To guide the process of personal transformation we draw on the ancient wisdom of the East as well as on the Shamanic Medicine Wheel of Peru.

 

Our 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training courses are arranged in four cycles, following the four cardinal directions, asking the guardian spirits to guide a cycle of release, understanding, growth and empowerment. Together we create a space that reveals our wisdom within and accelerates the realization of our life purpose.

 

Mystical Yoga, or yoga of spiritual practice, reaches deep into the roots of an ancient way of life. The study of this knowledge calls us to reveal the yoga, the union, between ourselves and everything around us.

 

Our 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training embodies this approach, opening us up to the wisdom of the teacher that is already within each of us. In 21 days, we immerse ourselves in experience — we dance, we chant, we sing. We find community with like-minded people and embrace the stillness within ourselves. We call on our intuition for the answers and we speak from spirit to spirit. We delve deep into the experience, free from the skins of our past, from unnecessary distractions to allow the authentic connection with ourselves to emerge.

 

Through the journey of the 200 Hour YTT, students have the opportunity to step into their power as yoga teachers, to rediscover facets of their being and share a deeper knowledge of the mystical dimensions from where we all came and to which we will all return. Through the study of ancient wisdom and practice of daily mystical yoga, we begin to reveal a greater sense of beauty, love, and freedom. We discover yoga as a toolkit which we can apply to bring us into present awareness of the true, pure essence of life.

 

Choosing to endeavor on the path of a yoga teacher is a noble pursuit of committing to oneself, to embodying a more aligned way of life. This journey will ask for self-reflection, honesty, acceptance, growth, and discipline. It is a full immersion into the world of yoga which has the power to bring life altering alignments.

WHAT MAKES SYI UNIQUE?

The journey begins right here and right now - searching the internet for a unique experience that sparks your destiny’s curiosity. The call to break free from the mundane and step into transformation! You are here for a reason.

 

There’s no question that we offer experiences that gift students with so much more than just a certification. We receive this question all of the time: “What makes your yoga school unique?” We’ve broken it down into 8 Reasons Why School Yoga Institute is Unique.

MEDICINE WHEEL INTEGRATION & TRANSFORMATIONAL CEREMONIES

Our school is deeply influenced by Peruvian Shamanism and the Native American Medicine Wheel. This is a significant reason why many say that SYI is much more than just a yoga teacher training. We provide students with a spiritually driven course that goes far beyond Asana (the physical postures of yoga). Through shamanic medicine wheel and ceremonies, we connect to the shadows of our past to understand how our patterns shape and feed our current state and perspective. We develop powerful inner tools and rewrite the personal narratives that keep us stuck, giving way to a new perspective and lasting change in our lives.

OUR LONG HISTORY

We feel honored to do this work and continue to be inspired by each student and the uniqueness of their story.

OUR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

We recognize that yoga should be accessible to every body! Wherever there is inequality, there is work to do. We offer yoga scholarships for all of our yog a teacher training programs and SYI is committed to amplifying and empowering the voices of people of color and folks who identify as BIPOC, LBGTQIA+, and members of marginalized communities.
