200H Yoga Teacher Training FAQ
Yoga Alliance & Certification
What is Yoga Alliance, and is SKY Yoga and Meditation a Yoga Alliance Certified School?
Yoga Alliance International (YAI) is a globally recognised organisation that sets professional standards for Yoga Teacher Training and accredits schools that demonstrate quality, authenticity, and a strong lineage-based curriculum. SKY Yoga and Meditation is fully registered with Yoga Alliance International, and graduates of our 200-Hour YTT receive an internationally recognised certificate that allows them to teach worldwide.
Our curriculum follows YAI’s professional training standards, covering traditional Hatha Yoga, teaching methodology, philosophy, anatomy, and practicum. This ensures you leave with a solid foundation to teach confidently and safely in any studio or community setting.
What are the conditions for receiving my Yoga Alliance Certification after graduation?
To receive your Yoga Alliance International certification, you must complete all required contact hours, participate in the full course schedule, and successfully pass the final teaching practicum at the end of the training. All students are required to teach a complete class, demonstrating alignment knowledge, sequencing, cueing, and the ability to hold space safely.
Attendance is essential. Because YTT is an immersive program, students are expected to attend all classes unless there is a medical or personal emergency discussed with the team. Upon meeting all requirements, you will receive your YAI-recognised certificate and can register as a certified teacher directly through Yoga Alliance International’s portal.
I’m already a certified Yoga Teacher—can I still join SKY’s 200-Hour YTT?
Absolutely. Many students who join SKY’s 200-Hour YTT already hold a previous certification from another school but want a more authentic Hatha Yoga foundation, more structured teaching skills, or a deeper connection to traditional philosophy.
If you feel your previous training was too fast, too modern, too asana-focused, or lacked depth, SKY’s immersive eco-village setting and lineage-based curriculum will help you rebuild your foundation from the ground up. You can also use this training for continuing professional development under Yoga Alliance International’s CPD pathway.
About The Courses
What does a typical day in the training look like?
Your training day is structured to create the right rhythm for learning, self-inquiry, and steady practise. While you can see the full schedule on our website, here is an overview:
✔ Training begins at 6:30 AM every morning
✔ Days include morning asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, alignment labs, hands-on teaching methodology, and group practice
✔ Each day ends around 7:00 PM
✔ Saturdays finish earlier (around 4 PM)
✔ Sundays are your rest days to reset, integrate, explore Ubud, or enjoy quiet time in nature
The schedule supports a deep, immersive experience in our eco-village, allowing you to live and breathe your Yoga journey rather than simply “attending a course.”
What kind of Yoga will I learn at SKY?
SKY is rooted firmly in traditional Hatha Yoga—slow, steady, transformative, and deeply connected to classical yogic texts. You will learn foundational asana, pranayama (breathwork), meditation, bandhas, mudras, mantra, cleansing techniques (kriyas), and the philosophical pillars of Yoga.
This is not a “hybrid,” fast-paced, or fitness-based YTT.
It is a lineage-based training designed to help you understand Yoga as a holistic system beyond physical postures.
Who joins this training—and why?
Students come from all over the world—Europe, Asia, Australia, the US—and from all backgrounds. Some join to become teachers, others for personal transformation, and many because they are seeking a more authentic, grounded approach to Yoga practice.
Common reasons students choose SKY include:
A desire to learn beyond the physical asana
Preference for small groups and personalised guidance
Wanting to live in an eco-village community
Seeking a reset or deeper life clarity
Wanting a training that honour Yoga’s roots
If you value depth, nature, community, and tradition, you will feel at home here.
What makes SKY’s 200-Hour YTT unique compared to other schools in Bali?
Many YTTs in Bali are fast-paced, crowded, or commercialised. SKY is intentionally different. Our 200-Hour YTT offers:
Authentic Hatha Yoga lineage taught by experienced traditional teachers
A serene eco-village surrounded by bamboo, jungle, and nature
Small groups for personalised support
A curriculum that balances practice, philosophy, and self-inquiry
A strong community environment that continues beyond graduation
Immersive living with wholesome plant-based meals, peaceful surroundings, and space for reflection
Internationally recognised certification through Yoga Alliance International
Students often describe SKY as a place where Yoga is lived, not marketed.
300H Yoga Teacher Training FAQ
Yoga Alliance & Certification
What if I’m already a Yoga Teacher registered with Yoga Alliance?
If you hold a 200-Hour certification from any Yoga Alliance organisation, you are welcome to join SKY’s 300-Hour YTT. Your SKY certification will be recognised internationally under Yoga Alliance International, and you can use it to further your professional credentials, deepen your expertise, and advance through YAI’s Continuing Professional Development (CPD) pathway.
Many teachers join SKY’s 300-Hour YTT because they want more depth, stronger teaching skills, and a return to traditional roots after completing a more modern or fast-paced training elsewhere.
Will this course count as Continuing Education (CE) hours for Yoga Alliance?
Yes—under Yoga Alliance International’s CPD system.
The course contributes to your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) with YAI/YAIE, allowing you to upgrade your credentials and stay aligned with their standards of ongoing professional advancement.
Please note that “Continuing Education (CE)” under Yoga Alliance USA is a separate system. If your registration is with Yoga Alliance International, your SKY training fully supports your continuing development through YAI’s recognised CPD structure.
About Our Course
How is SKY’s 300-Hour YTT different from the 200-Hour YTT?
The 200-Hour YTT builds your foundation; the 300-Hour YTT elevates it. SKY’s advanced training focuses on:
More refined asana alignment and adjustments
Advanced pranayama, meditation, and energetic practices
Deeper classical philosophy (Hatha, Raja, Yogic psychology)
Teaching methodology for multi-level classes
Intelligent sequencing and hands-on cueing
Developing your voice as a teacher
It is designed to help you evolve from a good practitioner into a skillful, grounded, and confident teacher.
How does the SKY syllabus differ from other advanced Yoga schools in Bali?
Most advanced YTTs in Bali focus heavily on vinyasa, flow-based sequencing, or modern hybrid styles. SKY’s 300-Hour YTT stays true to tradition, offering a rare deep dive into classical Hatha Yoga.
Our syllabus includes:
Advanced pranic practices
Subtle anatomy and yogic psychology
Scriptural study
Holistic teaching methodology
Immersion in an eco-village community
Practicum with real-time feedback
Students often describe the SKY syllabus as the missing bridge between modern Yoga teaching and Yoga’s original purpose.
What subjects and practices will I study?
You will study:
Advanced asana (alignment, modifications, injury-safe teaching)
Classical pranayama techniques
Meditation and concentration practices
Nada Yoga, mantra, philosophy, subtle anatomy
Yogic psychology and modern application
Sequencing for different levels
Advanced teaching skills and practicum
Ethics, communication, and holding space
By the end, you will have the skills to teach confidently, guide deeper practices, and understand Yoga as a complete system—not just movement.
I completed my 200-Hour YTT elsewhere—can I enrol in SKY’s 300-Hour YTT?
Yes—many students join SKY’s 300-Hour program after completing their 200hr training at a different school. You do not need to have trained in Hatha Yoga specifically, although familiarity with foundational postures is helpful.
Our advanced YTT is designed to support teachers from all backgrounds who want to refine their teaching, deepen their understanding, and reconnect with the roots of traditional Yoga.
What style of Yoga is the course rooted in?
Just like our 200-Hour training, the 300-Hour YTT is grounded in authentic traditional Hatha Yoga. You will explore classical techniques, breathwork, energetics, meditation, and philosophy—all within a lineage-based framework that honours Yoga as a spiritual discipline, not just physical practice.
Do I need to be advanced in my asana practice to join?
No. A 300-Hour YTT is not about mastering difficult postures; it’s about deepening your understanding of Yoga as a whole. We welcome students who can practise safely, are open to learning, and want to grow beyond physical achievement.
Our focus is on refinement, awareness, and teaching intelligence—not advanced acrobatics.
Can I join if I have an injury or physical limitation?
Yes, as long as your injury is manageable and you have medical clearance to participate. SKY’s approach is highly adaptive; we teach functional alignment and modifications so you can practise safely. Inform us in advance so we can support you throughout the course.
When are the final assessments, and how are they conducted?
Your final assessment includes:
Teaching a complete class to your peers
Demonstrating alignment knowledge
Sequencing for different levels
Holding space with confidence
This practicum happens toward the end of the course, once you’ve built the skills you need. You will receive supportive feedback from our teachers to help you refine your teaching and grow professionally.
