300-Hour Syllabus
SKY Yoga & Meditation was created with the mission to bring traditional Hatha Yoga Teacher Trainings from India to Bali.
Our 300-hour Yoga & Meditation Teacher Training in Ubud, Bali, offers the most authentic and comprehensive foundation in traditional Yoga, while preparing you to confidently teach modern Yoga classes anywhere in the world.
Overview
Accredited by Yoga Alliance International from India, our 31-day (30-night) 300-hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training in Bali is designed for yogis who have already completed a 200-hour YTT and are ready to deepen their knowledge and elevate their practice and their teaching. It is a real step up from the 200h YTT where you will learn so many new asana, pranayama, shuddi kriyas and discover new topics such as Yoga psychology and Ayuverda.
Firmly rooted in the Hatha Yoga tradition, this advanced course builds on the foundation of the 200-hour program. Aside from a short review at the beginning, it is filled with entirely new teachings and practices. You’ll explore the Patanjali Yoga Sutras in greater depth, revisiting chapters I and II while diving into chapters III and IV, along with a detailed study of the Hatha Yoga Pradipika and key teachings from the Gheranda Samhita. The training also introduces Yoga Psychology and a foundational understanding of Ayurveda, the sister science of Yoga.
On the practical side, you’ll advance your skills with challenging asanas, new Pranayama techniques (with extended ratios and Kumbhaka control), and refined Shuddhi Kriyas. You’ll also deepen your meditation practice through Transcendental Meditation and a one-week Yoga Nidra immersion, preparing you to teach it confidently. Two silent days at the end of the third week invite you to experience the true transformative power of stillness and meditation.
Although the course is grounded in Hatha Yoga, you’ll also experience Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Yin, and Kundalini Yoga, giving you a well-rounded understanding of modern styles. Inspired by our experience at Kaivalyadhama, the world’s first Yoga institute to conduct scientific research over a century ago, we enrich our curriculum with academic studies, research articles, and traditional text references wherever possible.
To make your journey truly unique, we include optional activities such as two Sunday excursions, weekly Sound Baths, fasting practices for detox, and other mindful experiences. All are part of your course package yet remain optional—giving you the freedom to participate as you feel called.
Upon completion, you’re invited to stay an additional three days and nights for free, including accommodation and meals, to join our Sound Healing course in Bali, where you’ll learn to play Tibetan Singing Bowls and facilitate Sound Bath sessions.

Valentina Álvarez GómezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Una de las mejores experiencias de mi vida fue en Sky Yoga, aprendí a respirar, mover mi cuerpo y meditar, toda la filosofía del yoga para un bienestar total, agradezco mucho a mis maestros y al espacio tan bello que nos ofrecieron, la comida fue deliciosa y me sentó muy bien, espero implementar estas recetas en casa, gracias por todo lo vivido! Carmen Moreno SalcedoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had such a beautiful and transformative experience at Sky Yoga & Sound Healing Bali ✨ This sound healing course was so much more than just learning techniques — it felt like a deep journey of connection, healing and self-discovery. The space itself is incredibly peaceful and grounding, creating the perfect environment to truly open yourself to the experience. The teachers were amazing: so knowledgeable, patient and genuine. You can really feel how passionate they are about what they do, and they made everyone feel safe, supported and inspired throughout the whole training. I learned so much, not only about sound healing and instruments, but also about energy, presence and the power of intention. Everything was organized beautifully, and the energy of the group made the experience even more special. I’m leaving with so much gratitude, inspiration and memories I will carry with me forever. I would wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone interested in healing, spirituality, personal growth or simply reconnecting with themselves on a deeper level 💛 Yun LinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. best yoga school in Bali ! Rachel SlidellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Completed my 200hr YTT at sky and stayed for the sound healing and all of it was such an incredible experience!!! If you want great teachers, great food, and great atmosphere, while learning what yoga TRULY is, SKY is for you. Not a modernized approach to yoga, really learning and diving into the philosophy meditation and lifestyle of what yoga originally was meant to be. I can’t recommend this course enough!!!!!! Words don’t do justice for how great of an experience this program is. And highly recommend staying to learn the beautiful medicine of sound healing! CharlotteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Finished the 200h YTT and would definitely do it again! Small group, amazing venue and food! If you want to learn about the theory, philosophy and meet like minded people, sky is the right place 🥰🌺 Maribel KhazhalTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tuve una experiencia increíble haciendo el curso de sound healing. Recomiendo muchisimo a quien quiera realizarlo hacerlo acá. Las instalaciones son de película, dos piscinas en medio de los campos de arroz. Simón fue un verdadero maestro y realmente aprecio haber elegido Sky para continuar con mi formación como profesora de yoga Best Life By CandyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lovely people, beautiful, peaceful villas, yummy restaurant. Took the sound healing course with Simon, and there were so many elements I wasn’t suggesting, that filled my heart. For instance, Simon is an amazing yoga teacher, and one morning, at 6:30am yoga… when it was very peaceful and still… between asanas… I took in the peace of seeing an image of him, the yoga shala, the jungle backdrop behind him, the birds and sounds and beauty of Bali… it was all too much, and brought me to tears! Unexpected magical moment. And, seeing Simon’s passion for the bowls, was enchanting. Though I have and practice with crystal bowls at home, it was still interesting to learn more about the history of Tibetan Bowls, how to differentiate between handmade and manufactured bowls, best places to find them locally, and the concept to SLOW DOWN and be present with the bowls. Met lovely women from around the world and went home with greater love for sound medicine in my heart. ❤️ Teresa DoleschTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ich habe im Februar/März die 200h Yoga Ausbildung und den Sound Healing Kurs gemacht und es hat alle meine Erwartungen bei weitem übertroffen. Es war eine einzigartige Erfahrung..ich habe mich ab dem ersten Tag sofort wohl gefühlt..die Yoga Schule ist Teil eines wunderschönen und ruhigen Dorf, umgeben von Natur. Die Ausbildung war perfekt geplant..für Simon und sein Team steht nicht nur das Wohlbefinden eines jeden Einzelnen im Vordergrund, sondern auch das authentische Vermitteln der Inhalte und das spürt man..jeder Lehrer ist mit dem ganzen Herzen dabei!! Es hat uns während der ganzen Zeit an nichts gefehlt, die Villa war wunderschön, die Zimmer wirklich gemütlich, das Essen hervorragend (habe selten so gut gegessen) und die Ausbildung hat alles übertroffen..Simon und sein Team haben es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, Yoga als ganzheitliche Philosophie unter den Teillnehmern zu verbreiten und das gelingt ihnen auf eine sehr professionelle, authentische und liebenswerte Weise. Ich bin unglaublich dankbar für diese Erfahrung und kann SKY jedem nur wärmstens empfehlen. AbiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Did the 3 day sound healing course with Simon, and it was everything I hoped for! He is a genuine, professional teacher with teaching rooted in tradition and made for modern practices too. I appreciated that every part of the course was intentional, his guidance was great! As I also stayed at SKY, the food, accommodation and everything was wonderful, would consider the YTT here too! It’s rare to find a yoga space in Ubud that feels authentic and not gimmicky, and the eco village and everything here aligns with the yogic values which I appreciated! Thanks Simon and team SKY :) Piseto JanaiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great time doing both yoga and meditation there. Will return
