Choosing the Best Yoga Teacher Training in Bali: 7 Reasons to Put Trimurti Yoga School on Your Shortlist

Red Flags of Choosing the 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Bali

If you are going for your 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Bali, it is most likely your first time to learn about Yoga at a Yoga school. And therefore, it can be a very difficult decision. Whereas if you are going for your 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Bali, then maybe you are already familiar with some intricacies of finding a good Yoga school. However, in both of these cases, we have a short guide which will help you to choose the best Yoga teacher training course in Bali. We are starting by discussing the cautions or red flags that you need to know before committing your significant time to a Yoga course.

Catchy Yoga School Advertisements and Tracking

When you are a beginner, there are good chances that different registered Yoga schools will want to track you on various apps like Instagram, Facebook, Google, etc. Because they are constantly showering you with catchy and appealing ads, you may think that you should choose that Yoga school.

However, this is not as simple as it sounds. Choosing a Yoga school from an advertisement on the instagram can be very misleading. The thing is, Yoga schools with higher marketing budgets will try to attract you with their marketing muscles. They will put you in a Yogashala where you’ll suddenly be learning with 50 other people. And trust us, it is one of the last things that you would want for yourself after spending a huge amount of money. Another thing is, of course, you are paying for their advertisement indirectly, so their course will already be more expensive. You can read our detailed article on how small groups give you a big transformation.

Flashy Schools but Unpromising Course Content

When choosing a Yoga school, also check about their course content. Usually, all schools abide by the syllabus provided by Yoga Alliance, but still, some schools do not provide satisfying course content. This is because they don’t have talented teachers who can simplify difficult topics into easy-to-digest ones; finding talented teachers is not an easy feat. Good teachers come with some invisible price tags, and flashy schools don’t want to put more money into good teachers, but rather on marketing budgets.

Instagrammer Yoga Schools

Every Yoga school does some Instagram content, and that is the new normal now. However, lately, there are more Hardcore Instagrammer Yoga Schools these days than you can count. These schools rely on their Instagram-worthy content throughout the entire course. Which goes against the spirit of Yoga. Yoga is all about calmness, spirituality, groundedness, and loss of ego. All of these things cannot be achieved if the focus is on Instagram. While content making is an important thing for Yoga school survival and discoverability. It is equally vital to make Instagram content in moderation so that it does not spoil the class environment for the students. Future students are important, but current students also need sufficient attention.

Green Flags of Choosing the 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Bali

When choosing the 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training or 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Bali, there are several green flags to keep in mind. If you see these signs, your YTTC journey is going to be a smooth one.

Good Reviews and A Good Number of Reviews on the Yoga Alliance Website

There is no substitute for good reviews and a good number of reviews. However, we wouldn’t suggest that you judge a school just by Google reviews. In fact, Google reviews can be misleading in the case of Yoga schools because sometimes some schools target their competitors through paid campaigns. If you want to judge a Yoga school, go for its reviews on its Yoga Alliance page. On the Yoga Alliance website, you can search for every Yoga school, and you can see their reviews. These reviews are unbiased and only given by students who register themselves after paying a fee to the Yoga Alliance. And therefore, these reviews are authentic.

Focus on Traditional Roots of Yoga

For many people from the West, it may come as a surprise. However, schools that focus on the traditional roots of Yoga are usually the ones with the most credibility and values. They usually are on a mission to spread the wisdom of Yoga. For them Yoga is usually not a business but their worship.

Yoga Schools Founded by the Yogis

Yoga schools that are founded by the Yogis are usually where the founders are directly involved in designing the curriculum, hiring the teachers, etc. As they are Yoga teachers themselves, they understand what people need and what they don’t need, and hence, these schools are more structured. For example, our Trimurti Yoga School was founded by two Yogis from the East and the West. So, you get the best of both worlds.

Yoga Schools with Values

Yoga schools that put their values at their core, and don’t change their values based on students, are usually the good ones. For example, the Shivananda Ashram in Rishikesh, India. You can see their values written and well communicated on their websites and brochures that they provide.

Yoga Schools which have been running for years

Yoga Schools that have been running for years are usually the ones with more integrity and a time-tested record. They won’t compromise on their quality. For example, our Trimurti Yoga School has been running for the last 15 years. We put every effort to date to make our students fall in love with our school.

7 Reasons to Choose Trimurti Yoga School for your next Yoga Teacher Training Course

• Small Groups Big Transformation
  At Trimurti Yoga School Bali, we love small groups because they give our students big transformations. Our students can literally see the changes in themselves before and after they complete their 200 Hour and 300 Hour RYT courses. When they leave, they have almost evolved into someone more mature and lively.
• Our Students become Phenomenal Yoga Teachers
  Our ratio of students who become good teachers is really better than most Yoga schools in Bali. Our focus is not just limited to transformation, but also to making them a good Yoga teacher. We are proud of our students, most of whom are teaching in Yoga Shalas, Yoga studios, and, in fact, some even own their own Yoga spaces.
• Off-beat location in Bali
  We are located in Amed, which has beautiful black sand beaches. This place has really good cafés, restaurants, and everything that you would crave for. Despite this, this place is offbeat. You neither have too much crowd nor too much traffic, just a very laidback, comforting space.
• Our Values: More Education and Less Flashy Marketing
  Our school has a very good word-of-mouth marketing; people join our courses based on the reputation that we built in the last 15 years. And therefore, it gave us the freedom to not rely on flashy marketing things, but rather to focus on our teachers, curriculum, and learning.
  Trimurti Yoga school runs on values like safety, integrity, community, and honesty. When our school came to Bali from India, we started like everyone else in Ubud. However, in a few years, we realised that people who seek Ubud have difference expectation. As our values are different, we shifted to a calm place, which is Amed. When we realise that a student has different energy on first text or email, we suggest to them Ubud.
• Modular Approach in Our YTTC Course
  Our Yoga teacher training courses have a modular approach, meaning you have a course which has 2-3 modules. Each module focuses on difference aspect of Yoga. For example, our 300-hour YTTC course has three modules: the 100 Hour Advanced Vinyasa module, the 100 Hour Yin Yoga module, and the 100 Hour Meditation module.
  And therefore, if somebody feels they only want to become a Yin Yoga teacher and they do not want any other module, they can also come for just one module. This means we also have several 100 Hour Yoga Teacher Trainings available in Bali, at Trimurti Yoga. This modular approach is also appreciated by our students because for some, they provide a perfect 100 Hour Yoga retreat that they ever wanted in Bali.
• Our Well-Qualified Teachers
  Our teachers are very well qualified. We choose from our talented pool of teachers who come from Eastern as well as Western backgrounds. Their knowledge in their domains is really exceptional. For example, our Teacher Divyansh Sharma, is a Penguin Random House Author. He has written a book called ‘The Yoga Science.’
• 15 Years of Excellence
  Trimurti Yoga School has been running for the last 15 years. We have multiple teams and franchises. We have a German team, a Latin American Team, an english Team, and a Persian (Iranian) team. With over 6000 students learning with us, our profile and reviews are really good. You can visit our Yoga Alliance profile from here. Just bear in mind that not all students register on the Yoga Alliance website and give reviews. As this registration comes with an over $115 cost.

Conclusion

Overall, with our guide of green and red flags, choosing a Yoga teacher training course in Bali becomes much easier. These points will not only help you decide the best for yourself, but will also guide you to your own path of learning and exploration. And again, be very open to learning and see where and what you want to learn. Trust yourself, and you will make a good decision.
