We practice to still the mental ripples that keep us from our true selves, clearing the space needed to live our truth fully. This is the heart of Yogaś-citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ (Sutra 1.2)—Patanjali’s definitive reminder that Yoga is not just movement, but the profound mastery of our inner world.

Immerse yourself for 3 weeks in deep traditional practices on the island of the God’s, Bali. This is your opportunity to pause, reassess, realign and empower yourself using the time-tested methods of traditional Hatha Yoga that have proved their worth for over 6000 years.

Expertly facilitated by senior teachers at The Practice, Jason Winters and Ami Effendy, this experience will change the way you see Yoga and the way you live your life. It’s time to reclaim the joy, power and freedom that were always destined to be be yours.

Our Goal at The Practice is to reshape the modern Yoga world by training and certifying as many high-caliber Yoga teachers as possible. This training WILL push you and demand that you show up with 100% of your effort and commitment. 

If you are looking for a Yoga holiday, do NOT apply for this training. If you are willing to show up, work hard, strive for self-excellence and expand beyond your limits, then this is the PERFECT training for you. 

“The Practice’s teacher training is by far the most superior of all the trainings I've taken. The Practice team teaches with such knowledge, insight and devotion that it’s quite unbelievable. By far the best training I’ve done. After several trainings for the first time the whole science of Yoga landed.”

Yoga, when practiced correctly, is the direct pathway to living a righteous, Soul-aligned and fearless existence. The issue is that 99% of the Yoga being taught today does not align to the traditional science. Innovation has usurped time-tested methods, which is why the modern Yoga world is so full of followers and not nearly enough LEADERS.

At The Practice, we build leaders. That is what we do, and we do it really fucking well. The reason we succeed where others fail, is because we stick to the original science of Yoga, which has been stoking the inner fire in the hearts of true Yogis and Yoginis since time immemorial.

Our world-renowned, internationally celebrated teacher training will provide you with the exact methodologies and mindset to both practice and teach at a professional level. YOU will have to put in the years of hard work AFTER the training, but you will have ALL of the tools. Your destiny will be in your hands. However, we will prepare you better than any other training out there. That is a guarantee.

This life-changing program will not only plug you straight into the heart of the ancient Yoga tradition, but also into a strong, like-minded community of passionate, diehard and truly inspirational practitioners and teachers who are committed to living a life of integrity, while simultaneously keeping the authentic flame of true Yoga burning brightly.

NOW THESE TEACHINGS HAVE COME TO YOU.

Our new YTT format involves 3 weeks of intensive study here in Bali (Monday to Friday). As stated above, this will not be a lounge-around Yoga holiday. We will push you to become the best in the world. The only way this happens is with FOCUS, DISCIPLINE and CLEAR INTENTION. If you put in the hours, you will get the RESULTS. We are not interested in training mediocre teachers and practitioners. We pride ourselves on producing game-changers, because this is what is needed in the modern Yoga world.

If this sounds like you, get in touch, but come ready.

• 100% of the content covered in this training has been passed down through the ancient practice of Parampara (from teacher to student). We are not innovators. We simply have a single-pointed burning desire to deliver the teachings of the sages as they were intended: undiluted.
• 100% of the content of this training has been fully integrated by the teachers delivering it, through intensive self-practice over years and decades of commitment to this path. If we haven’t embodied it, then we won’t teach it. This is our commitment to you, to the tradition and to ourselves.

PHILOSOPHY: STUDYING SACRED TEXTS

AMI EFFENDY

SENIOR YOGA TEACHER AT THE PRACTICE, BALI

“Traditional Hatha Yoga provides one of humanities most effective systems for achieving enrichment and happiness in every aspect of life. These powerful, lineage-based teachings have transformed my life immensely, and I am deeply grateful my journey has brought me to this path.” 

I first discovered Yoga 20 years ago as an escape from the corporate grind. While my early practice focused solely on the physical, I always sensed a deeper purpose. This intuition led me to my teacher, Octavio Salvado, who introduced me to the profound spiritual science of Traditional Hatha Yoga. This pivotal shift in perspective nurtured my emotional balance and brought a clarity that has guided my personal and professional evolution ever since.

An Indonesian resident of Bali for over 25 years, I live on the island with my husband and three daughters. For the past eight years, I have dedicated my career to The Practice Bali, beginning as a committed yoga teacher before also stepping into my current leadership role as General Manager. I am honored to share this timeless wisdom with our global community.  

JASON WINTERS

SENIOR YOGA TEACHER AT THE PRACTICE, BALI

"We need an education revolution that prioritizes what it means to live a purposeful, empowered, & compassionately connected life… And Hatha Yoga is precisely the way we will do it!”

Having grown up in a place where I was programmed to believe the only guarantees in life are ‘death & taxes’, I understood early on that I was not being given a framework for success & true happiness… so I began a lifetime search for what would lead to me to a deeper sense of self-wisdom, self-trust, & self-excellence. It is my passion & greatest souls desire to guide others on their own journey, through the wisdom shared with me by my incredible teachers & a lineage stretching back thousands of years. Leading each student towards a life of freedom, joy, & evolutionary success is why I am honored to be a part of the incredible team at The Practice, Bali. 

We are all equally deserving & capable of living the life we truly desire, & for the student who is ready to embark on that journey, I will be waiting with love & light.
