SKY (Yoga & Meditation) was born with a mission to bring traditional Hatha Yoga trainings from India to Bali.
Our 5 Days Yoga & Meditation Discovery course delivers a well-structured introduction to the most authentic knowledge that Yoga has to offer.
Course Overview
During those 5 intense days (Monday 6.30am to Friday 7pm) you will discover the vast arrays of Yoga limbs with a good mix of theory, practice, and tutorials.
Rooted in the Patanjali Yoga Sutras and based on the Hatha Yoga tradition, this course is designed to help you understand what Yoga is by exposing you to a range of its practices, all backed up with theoretical explanation.
Aside from the ten 1h classes of asana (postures), this training will initiate you to pranayama (breathing techniques), shuddi kriyas (cleansing techniques), chanting mantras and of course meditation, which is a strong focus of the course with 7 hours of practice (along with tutorial to explain what it truly is)
Unlike our longer trainings, this course does not have accommodation packages but there are many options to stay nearby our small village on the edge of Ubud.
We believe in the power of small groups for a supportive and effective learning environment. Each training session is limited to 5-15 participants to ensure you get the attention and care you deserve.

Asana Lab
Over half of our course is dedicated to practical and hands-on tutorial classes, which are essential to your learning experience with us.
Our tutorial classes (asana lab and meditation lab) blend theory with immediate practice. In these sessions, you’ll learn how to perform specific postures correctly (or meditation techniques), including modifications, contraindications, and benefits. You’ll then practice these postures right away with hands-on guidance and corrections from your instructor. This is the perfect time to ask questions and take notes.
Practical classes, on the other hand, are purely about practice - no note-taking needed.
For pranayama (breathing exercises) and shuddi kriyas (cleansing practices), you’ll engage in these practices during our daily morning sessions, with the theory being covered separately as we study the Hatha Yoga texts.
Yoga is a journey of the Self, to the Self, through the Self.
- Bhagavad Gita, VI/20 -
Theory classes
Our classes are very well structured and are designed to provide knowledge in a very clear and formatted manner to help you digest the workload.
For example, each theory class is split into 3 components, a comprehensive lecture, an active tutorial activity and dedicated Q&A time to clarify any doubts. Every lectures will be provided to you in your printed manual as well as in a digital format on WhatsApp at the end of each day.
Our Magical Jungle Eco Village
This is a place like no others.
Nestled in the traditional Balinese village of Pejeng, on the edge of Ubud, our eco village is a one-of-a-kind sanctuary in the heart of the jungle. Spread over two hectares of lush, spiritual land, we are home to an aquaponic garden, a walking meditation maze, a organic fruit and vegetable gardens, 2 Yoga shala, a sound and meditation dome and a vegetarian restaurant.
This truly magical place is also blessed by its visionary owner, Ludwig, who has lived for over 10 years with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the renowned creator of Transcendental Meditation.
We have a stunning Yoga shala for all asana classes, a smaller shala for theory classes and our unique sound and meditation dome for the more spiritual practises.
Our restaurant serves delicious, freshly prepared vegetarian meals (with vegan options on request) for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus herbal teas throughout the day, beginning with a 6.15am detox ginger tea. We only use organic rice from the village’s fields and even bake our own bread, make homemade yogurt, and create jams from local tropical fruits.
