Small Group, Big Transformation: The Benefits of a 15-Student Yoga TTC in Bali at Trimurti Yoga

200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training and 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Bali

Usually, most Yoga schools in Bali run in a model where they want only 3-4 teachers to lead more than 30-40 students. Which is economically sound for them; however, students’ learning can take a backseat because there is no personalized attention. It is like the old school way, where a teacher is leading a horde of students in a crowded space.

What are the biggest Challenges of Big Groups?

Groupism
Groupism is very common in bigger groups, where every big group divides into 5-10 small groups and factions. We had conversations with several students who, in the past, went to such registered Yoga schools. Their common position was that you feel exhausted when you have to deal with the energies of about 40 people. You can encounter some people who disrespect the traditional understanding of Yoga, some don’t value the anatomy and scientific backing of Yoga, some create issues about food, some are attention seekers, and so on. This takes away the group energy and leaves people exhausted rather than feeling and enjoying their wonderful weeks-long Yoga Teacher Training in Bali journey.

Separation from Spirituality
For a lot of people, Yoga Teacher Training in Bali means a spiritual journey in the right direction. However, with a multitude of students, forget about experiencing spirituality; even understanding it becomes difficult. You cannot expect so many people to understand spirituality, its essence, meaning, and everything. Therefore, if you are planning to pursue your Yoga teacher training in Bali, where they usually have larger groups, please keep this in your mind.

Distractions
Of course, when you are in big groups, you may lose your focus, and this can be because of multiple people seeking multiple goals. While getting to know more people from your Yoga community is a big advantage, it may come with a cost. The highest cost is losing your individuality and your goals. When multiple people are seeking their goals, it is very difficult to find a common ground. And there are definitely some people who may impose their Yoga goals onto you. You will not realise when you will start to chase a different goal. It may take away your originality. Sometimes, your fellow students may be involved in addictions, and we already know how big a distraction it is.

Competing energies
Have you met people who have a competitive mindset? How often do you see them? The thing is, Yoga is not about competing with one another. However, because humans have an inherent competitive mindset, some people cannot lose that. They keep on competing with you. You are living your simple life, but they don’t respect your boundaries. They will find a way to compare you with them. This is the biggest hurdle in a smooth RYT-200 Yoga journey in Bali.

What are the Advantages of Small Groups?

Personalized Atttention
When the group is small, you definitely get a personalised experience, and you have more attention from the teacher all the time. When the teacher knows your individual goal, they may add examples, tips, or points that are relevant to you.

Personalised Doubt Resolution
When there is a small Yoga TTC batch, you can always ask very personalized doubt and the teacher can take sufficient time to discuss them with you, whereas, when the group is large, this is not possible as the time is very limited there and more people have doubts. One of our past students who had been to one very popular Yoga place said, “I had to ask about Dharana (Concentration) once before my entire batch, but when I asked, the teacher said they would explain later on, and to be honest, they never did.”

Big Transformation
Alessio from Italy, one of our students, used to say, “I am not flexible enough, and I don’t think I can teach Yoga to others.” However, currently, he is teaching Yoga in Canggu, Bali, and is good at that. How, you may ask. The thing is, he was in a group where there were 12 students and 5 teachers. Every one of our teachers puts extra efforts onto their students. They see the strengths and weaknesses of every individual and polish them to the fullest, and the end result is highly skilled teachers.

Why does Trimurti Yoga School in Bali believe in Small Groups?

Obviously, because we have seen the magic that we created with our small groups. We started our journey from Ubud, but soon, we realised Ubud is for flashy Yogis, and while we have a non-judgemental approach in this, we wanted a quieter, more serene ambience, which we found in Amed. It has been about 10 years since we held our ground in Amed, a sunny paradise of Bali, where you are away from the grey weather, have a tropical feel, it is not crowded, and most importantly, you find the peace of your mind. Our philosophy says that we are in no competition with anyone. Only those who want the rich tapestry of Yoga and not the surface-level presentation will take their journey towards us.

Success Stories of Our Small Groups

Our success stories don’t end with just Alessio. Our teachers run some of the most popular Yoga studios all around the world. We have 5 franchises where, with our proven model of small groups, people become unique and professional teachers. Some of our teachers even own popular Yoga schools in Bali, Thailand, Germany, and more.

What Our Students Love About the Trimurti Yoga Bali Experience

Most of the students believe that choosing Trimurti Yoga School in Bali was easily one of their best decisions because it made them calmer, a better teacher, and a better Yogi. As per them, Trimurti Yoga Bali gives a rooted, rich perspective of Yoga in a much more digestible form that stands apart from most other schools, which are just on the surface level.

Conclusion

So, overall, it is the journey from noise to quiet. You need to take this journey alone, the quitter it is the easier it gets to go inside and explore. Of course, go where your heart takes you, but make an informed choice and do not be influenced by promotional and marketing campaigns. Good Yoga schools focus on their teachers and not the marketing schemes. Namaste!
