    My experience here has been unique and magical! Practicing yoga in the Balinese rice fields is just the perfect combination to find the concentration you need to be in the present and more in peace. The classes are amazing and well structured, you will learn a lot during the course and most important you will love the community you are sharing your yoga experience with! Highly recommended, namaste 🙏🏻

    My journey and stay at Yoga Union was incredible. From the teachers, staff and nutritious food - I am very happy I decided to do my training here. The training was held at the Mansion and was worth every penny. I reccomend YogaUnion highly to anyone who is looking to deepen their practice as a student and teacher as well as experience the magical energy of Bali.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the 50 hour Yin training here. I traveled from America and it was so worth it - to explore and learn about Bali as well as experience this training in such a tranquil setting. I enjoyed the balance of classes with various teachers throughout the day from meditation, philosophy, and Yin practice to dynamic flows. Sharing fresh and delicious meals together was a great way to connect with fellow students coming from all over the world for a similar goal. My accommodations were great - pretty, clean, and comfortable. I enjoyed Yin Yoga before but now I have a deeper passion for teaching and practicing both Yin classes and Yin Yang classes. Much appreciation for a wonderful experience!

    I did my 200hrs Yoga Teacher Training at the Fire Shala here with YogaUnion and loved it! The teachers are all fantastic, the organization is incredibly well thought out and smooth and the walk through the rice fields every morning is a dream. It was a very intense and at the same time so valuable time. The training is of course much more intensive than a retreat or something similar - but you learn so much, about yoga but also about yourself. I would recommend YogaUnion to everyone without reservation!

    I loved my yoga teacher training with Ourania, Spyros & compagnie! The entire team was really attentive to our needs & dreams to maximize our growth. They are so knowledgeable in every aspect regarding yoga; anatomy, asanas, philosophy, alignment & so much more. I suggest this training to anyone who wants to deepen their practice or teach yoga to others! This experience was really transformative for me, both physically and mentally. I feel more connected to my mind, body & soul then ever before. As well, I have solidified my yoga practice and built more knowledge & confidence to start teaching yoga. Thank again to the entire Yoga Union team, I'm deeply & forever grateful. Much love xoxoxo

    Heroes, all of them should go into the Yoga Hall of Fame if there is ever one! Ourania, Spyros, Nina, Carmen, Maureen, Mattia, Sirios and Magda and the supporting staff. It really takes some chutzpah to run a Yoga Teachers Training presencially in actual conditions this March 2021. They put all theirs hearts unselfishly without looking at their pockets. I am blessed to have given this opportunity which provided me with an excellent training, physically, mentally and spiritually I shall be forever grateful to the magnificent group of individuals. One thousand Kudos to all of them. Shall return and endeavor to make back again some day, these guys made history.

    Fantastic place to practice yoga, surrounded by nature close to city center but far enough to enjoy the silence of Ubudian rice fields. The view is just beautiful and very calming. And if you stay practicing till late afternoon you will be absorbed by colors of a wonderful sunset... I've never practiced yoga in better place.

    Yoga Union is absolutely an amazing school for a YTT! Just out of the hustle from Ubud, your home for 3 weeks is in the way calmer rice fields. The Fire Shala is literally surrounded by the fields, which makes it a stunning place for your practice. The program is tough and full time for 3 weeks, but the school makes sure you have nothing else to worry about; accommodations are along the road, all meals are served at Gusti’s and there are staff members to help you with any other distractions so you can focus on learning. The teachers are incredibly good and knowledgeable, they appreciate questions, answer them patiently and work really hard to make you soak up as much as possible in a short time. Really great experience.

    I absolutely loved the 200 hour YTT at yoga union. The Shala is in the middle of the rice fields which is so magical and makes for the most amazing views. The instructors are wonderful as well.

    Attending the meditation teacher training was an incredibly insightful week. I gained not only knowledge on facilitating meditation, but also deepened my personal practice, and delved into shadow work and self-awareness, understanding my triggers and learned emotional regulation. The group was so kind and supportive, making every moment enjoyable. A heartfelt thank you to Nina and her assistant Jess for creating a safe, nurturing space. The stunning location and caring staff added to the overall positive experience. Grateful for this transformative journey.

    This place is magical! What I enjoy the most is the quality of the yoga practice and the view on the rice fields and palm trees. Sunrise and sunset from the Shala are breathtaking! Thanks to the teachers who go the extra mile to make you feel pampered and special! It’s a fantastic place to be! Don’t miss it when you visit Ubud!

    The most surreal experience. From start to finish from the teachers to the people to the location to the service everything was phenomenal. I cannot wait to return to do my 300HR in March 2024 already. It’s going to be amazing - I look forward to seeing my second family again🙏🏼 If you are considering taking up your yoga teacher training, this is the best of the best. Out of this world. Thankyou to Yeni, Gusti, Himanshu, Liala, Fabian, Luca & all the staff along the way.

    I did my 200h YTT at YogaUnion in May 2023 and I loved it so much! Here is why I think YogaUnion is the best Yoga school: Let me start with start with the day I arrived in Bali. I booked offered transportation that was organized by YogaUnion and it worked perfectly. The school and the accommodation are placed in the middle of the rice fields so it’s not possible to get there by car. The transportation was uncomplicated and the price was more than fair. The accommodation I stayed in was Ajungs House and I loved it, my room was really big and clean, and we even had a pool. The Fire Shala is an incredible place and the sunset from the Shala is just breathtaking. I couldn’t imagine a better place for practicing yoga, finding your true self and getting in touch with your spirit. I’m beyond impressed with the YTT program offered by YogaUnion. The quality of the trainings is excellent, the teachers are incredible and very knowledgeable. Two of the teachers I met even have a Master in Yoga. That’s so wonderful to be able to learn everything you can about the thing that can set your spirit free and teach you how to naturally heal. Himanshu Bahuguna is a lead teacher at YogaUnion, and there are no words to describe what an amazing, wonderful and awesome teacher and person he is. You are going to love him! I am endlessly grateful for all the knowledge and this life changing experience that YogaUnion Family gave me. I am so happy I could have this life-changing experience with YogaUnion. It was the best decision.

    I just completed my 5 day kundalini immersion with Ningrum. It was a beautiful experience for further introspection, reflection and deep sadhana practise. Thank you Ningrum for your light, vulnerability and guiding us with ease and grace. Sat Nam✨🙏

    I recently completed the 200hrs vinyasa at the fire shala and it was the experience of a lifetime! The setting is very beautiful and peaceful, and the whole course was very well organised including the food and accommodation which just allowed me to focus purely on the yoga. The teachers are extremely knowledgeable and honestly overall I couldn't have asked for much else!

    As I learned during the course, as soon as our eyes are open, our brain makes hundreds or even hundreds of thousands of decisions during the day. And so, when I decided to take a teacher's course, I decided that I wanted to do it and that I would do it at YogaUnion. However, when making this decision, in no scenario did I assume that in addition to becoming a yoga teacher, I would develop so much mentally and spiritually that I would have a commitment to life, that I would experience so many moments of elation, carefreeness and hard work, which can be incredibly uplifting and teaches us a lot about ourselves. I have no words to describe how satisfied and grateful I am with the whole experience - the school itself and the management, which gave space to teachers, managers and us students to create a magical and extraordinary place that not only educates teachers, but also builds us as individuals, opens us to vulnerability, love and attention. I would like to thank everyone who has walked this path with me and I recommend this experience to everyone from the depth of my heart ✨🙌🏻❤️

    I couldn't be happier about my decision to book my 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training with Yoga Union in beautiful Ubud!! 🧘‍♀️🧡 I embarked on this journey motivated by my love and passion for yoga with no intention of actually becoming a teacher one day. And yet I leave this place now with a strong desire to spread that same love and passion for yoga to others - inspired by the wonderful people, teachers, staff and other students I have been lucky enough to meet here. During the three weeks, we were looked after very well: There was always someone available to answer any questions and provide immediate help and support for any problems. My accommodation at Restu's was wonderful (the pool is the best!). The vegetarian buffet at Gusti's was always varied and delicious, the staff always had a smile on their faces and did their best to take allergies or intolerances into consideration. I loved the different workshops in the afternoons, where we were given a variety of insights into different types of yoga and embarked on spiritual journeys. The Fire Shala in the middle of the peaceful rice fields of Ubud is truly unique and radiates a very special energy. It was a pleasure to be able to practise there every day. However, what I was most impressed with was the atmosphere and dynamic within our group and the kindness and passion with which each of our teachers was teaching us. I now know what it means to be part of the Yoga Union family and I am deeply grateful for all the experiences I have had here and all the knowledge I have gained. I will be back! 🙏

    One of the most beautiful places I have ever been! Did my 200h Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training there and I loved it. The place is so magical and feels like home from the first time you step into the shala. Everything is well organized, clean and well attainedl. The people are super sweet and help with every problem. A journey you will never forget 🌺🌴

    I did my 200h YTT (yoga teacher training) here and I’m so glad I did. This training is very high quality and I learned so much during my time here. You can tell they put a lot of love and detail into the creation and implementation of this training. YogaUnion has 2 shalas in Bali: Fire Shala (this one, the bigger one) and Earth Shala (if you prefer a smaller class, I recommend this one). I was in the Fire Shala (see fotos) and loved it. I will definitely miss this view when I go home ! Students are spread across different accommodations in these rice fields, all within walking distance of the Shala. They are simple accommodations, so if that’s something that’s important to you, maybe book accommodation separately or talk to them to find out where you’re staying. The food is vegetarian and delicious. There are also some small cafes and restaurants in the area in case you want to occasionally switch things up (or eat meat). For me this was not needed much as I really enjoyed the food they provided.

    I did my 200hr Vinyasa training here and absolutely loved it. I had the most amazing experience and was lucky to meet amazing people. Throughout the whole experience I felt looked afterwards and whenever I had a problem or a question the organisations team was able to help me instantly. All teachers are highly qualified and I learned so many valuable things.

  • 5/5 Lorna S. 10 months ago on Google
    I can highly recommend the 200hr YTT at yoga union. The setting is stunning, food is delicious, but above all the teaching and programme are very high quality. It is professional and thorough and I felt supported at all stages. Thank you yoga union!

    I did my 200 YTT in Ubud, Bali with Yogaunion. It was a wonderful 3 weeks on Bali. Yogaunion has a super beautiful shala in the middle of rice fields, they have super passionate yoga teachers, very helpful people who work for Yogaunion. I would 10/10 recommend this yoga school if you happen to come to Bali. There is no chance that you wouldn’t fall in love with the beautiful Yogaunion fire shala in Ubud. I kinda miss it everyday ♥️

  • 5/5 Leonard A. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing experience! The training was intense but fair. It left me feeling confident going back home to teach! I definitely recommend it for people who want to be teachers. Those who don’t might find the content demanding. Regardless, I had an unforgettable experience.

    Beautiful place to practice yoga. The Shala is in a peaceful part of Ubud, amongst the rice fields.

    I went to Yoga Union Bali for my 200h, it was recommended by two people I knew from where I live so I decided to try. I was pleasantly surprised as it was everything I was told, plus more. The curriculum is intense, but carefully tailored. The quality of the teachers and their availability and kindness was really great, the location in the quietness of the rice fields, and overall professional approach from all the team at Yoga Union who are there to support the students with everything yoga or not yoga. Yoga Union has three shalas in Ubud, I was in the Fire Shala which is the highest up in the rice fields. There was another smaller shala a bit closer to the restaurant where our meals where served which is more secluded. Regarding the accommodation and food, I was happy that both food and stays are organized locally within the rice fields. Bear in mind that accommodation among the students will differ as they sort it out in the different stays in the rice fields. Not to worry, they are more o less the same. The third shala is not in the rice fields, it’s in the center of Ubud and has its own accommodations and classes directly there as is not feasible to move students up and down the rice fields. The restaurant will cater vegetarian meals daily, three times a day but they were also a kind to make my eggs extra cooked when I asked. Super happy with choosing Yoga Union and would recommend to others.

    I completed 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with yoga union bail in earth Shala.(I highly recommend this Shala as this is close to restaurant where meals are served) Fire Shala is bigger and has bigger groups there. The third shala (water shala) is not in the rice fields, it’s in the center of Ubud and has its own accommodations and classes directly there as is not feasible to move students up and down the rice fields. So if you are looking to be part of small cozy family like environment go to earth shala. School is uphill in middle of the rice fields so make sure to book your transport accordingly. I stayed in Earth shala but they few more accommodation which are close by and all of them are equally clean. Rooms are spacious, bed was comfortable, shower was great. I also really enjoyed the food staff at the restaurant was always smiling and gave us very healthy food each day. To be honest I’m missing all the food. Before arriving, I had few questions, and they were very prompt in replying. Crew at Yoga union are very friendly and approachable. They were so warm, enthusiastic nature put me at ease, they go above and beyond to accommodate the needs of all the students. All the teachers Himanshu, Laila, Fabian, Michael and Akka all are very knowledgeable and highly skilled in their fields. The quality of learning material is outstanding and delivered in a style that’s easy to absorb. Our wonderful teachers generously shared parts of their own Yoga journeys, which helped me - and my fellow students, on ours. I felt an instant bond with Himanshu, (Lead teacher), and Fabian (Pranayama teacher). They were all truly authentic - with different styles, each of them seemed to be really doing their best to bring us knowledge about yoga. Himanshu (lead teacher) made the intense course easy to absorb and fun. His knowledge about alignment is amazing. I’m sure not just me but all the fellow students felt he is the best yoga teacher we can find. He was friendly and strict at the same time. He will push each student to deliver their best to deepen in their practice. You feel you are in safe hands learning with him. Once you learn under him you would want to keep coming back to Yoga union. I was lucky to have him as my lead teacher. Fabian made every morning very relaxing with his pranayama classes. You can’t find any other teacher who has in depth knowledge about yoga philosophy as Akka. She knew so much about all the veds and how she put it across made us believe we can also follow all the yamas and niyama not just learn and forget them. I highly recommend the TTC course for anyone who wants to get introduced to yoga in a real sense, even if becoming a teacher is not their intention. I personally went with zero expectations and loved every moment spent there. I wanted to go back home on the first day but was crying on the last day when I had to leave. I would recommend that anyone who is planning to undergo for this course, please go with an open mind and less expectations- then you will enjoy the true essence! The place is serene, and the people are gems! I hope my review helps you to decide.

    I did my 200hour YTT in Ubud and absolutely loved every second of it. The experience was magical from start to end, delicious vegetarian food (I wasn’t too sure if I’d enjoy it but it was so good and I really enjoyed being vegi for 3 weeks!), beautiful location. The accommodation was perfect and everything is in walking distance. The yoga was incredible, all the teachers are so inspiring and improved my yoga/knowledge so much. It was worth every penny and I wish I could do it all again! Thank you so much, love to all the yoga union family. If you’re thinking about it just do it !!! ❤️

    Absolutely great and recommended yoga school in Ubud! Very high quality of teachers, participants in every age group (our group between 25-65 years), incredibly great teamwork - we have made friends for life. The food is provided at any time of the day and is very healthy and tasty. You spend the whole day outside in the beautiful shalas. My accommodation Purnama was particularly good because it is right next to the Air Shala. Would recommend it again and again based on my good experience.
