Course content

Meditation initiations

Each week you will be taken into the depths of a different and potent meditation technique by our empowered teachers. Daily practice of each technique will help you discover which form of meditation works for you best and give you the ability to guide your future students.

Styles of yoga

You will be trained in major, classical poses of Hatha yoga obtaining a thorough understanding of their physical, energetic, emotional, mental, and spiritual effects. Additionally, MYTTC focuses on Vinyasa, Restorative, and Yin practices of yoga with a great emphasis on Tantra yoga addressing the subtle energetic and spiritual effects of your practice.

Anatomy and physiology

Samyama Mindfulness Meditation Center wants you to have a good understanding of the anatomy and physiology of your bodies without getting overwhelmed by medical words alone. The expert teachers will create immersions into anatomy, physiology, and Ayurveda - the sister science of yoga - for you to explore yoga`s effects and functioning in your being from a scientific perspective.

Kriya techniques

You will teach and practice together selected techniques from the shat karma kriya system. This will assist your body in the purification processes that occur during intensive yoga and meditation practice. These techniques are gems that you will want to share with your students.

Teaching and professional skills

Samyama Mindfulness Meditation Center loves sharing their passion for this path. They want you to develop all of the required teaching skills; from making adjustments/corrections to giving effective discourses to tuning into the needs of the individual and the group. They would also like to broaden your vision on how to make teaching yoga and meditation your profession.

Philosophy and history

Besides the core texts of yoga philosophy such as the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the Bhagavad Gita, Samyama Mindfulness Meditation Center will introduce tantric texts such as the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, teachings from Advaita Vedanta, and more. There are so many beautiful and accessible texts that inform and inspire your meditation practice.

Horizontal elements

• Sharing circles: You will have weekly sharing circles to support the group during this intensive journey
• Buddy system: Traveling solo? No worries. You’ll have a built-in friend for support and sharing
• Mentoring system: Each participant will be assigned a teacher they can go to with questions. Your assigned teacher/mentor will schedule a one-on-one meeting for any personal issues that you would rather address in private

During the event

Participation in the sessions

Full participation to sessions and successful completion of testing methods are required. You are however welcome to join the course with full participation as an intensive personal retreat without attending the exams in case you do not require a teaching certificate.

Dietary suggestion

It would be an amazing treat for your body to avoid consuming alcohol or tobacco during this event to support the deep work. Samyama is a place to reconnect; first with yourself and through that with others. Samyama is more than just a retreat center. It’s a community, a place to meet with your tribe, a place to call home. The beautiful surroundings of nature and the tranquil energy evoke a meditative state of mind.

Together with Eat.Co Bali, they offer plant-based food made with love and compassion for every living being. Eat.Co Bali provides food during meditation retreats, TTC’s and other events. Their philosophy is to come back into intimacy with their heart and their most natural, unconditioned self. Ultimately this intimacy and deep trust in life lead to falling in love with yourself and all of life. With more awareness of the heart and the body, we naturally act in the world with kindness and compassion towards ourselves, other beings, and the planet.

Outstanding teachers

The teachers are dedicated and accomplished yogis/yoginis. They all have a solid background in yoga and meditation, and regular personal practice. They will share their diverse gifts and skills with you from an authentic and heart-centered place of service.

A venue created by practitioners for practitioners

The beautiful venue, Samyama Mindfulness Meditation Center, was born out of a desire for authenticity and a love of non-dual teachings. Meditation and inner work were the seeds. Love and a dedication to service helped to water this dream. Thefacilities have been purposefully designed to support deep transformation, healing, and integration.

Amazing healthy meals

Eat.Co Bali is all about wholesome, fresh, colorful, plant-based food made from scratch right here in their compassionate kitchen. They offer predominantly organic, locally sourced food and care deeply about the planet and all life forms on it.

Carefree, all-inclusive packages

You will feel supported by a plant-based diet, designed especially for this journey. Samyama’s massage therapist, steam sauna, ice bath, and other Healing Center perks are available when you need some extra care. The staff and teachers take pride in the warm family vibe we create, where everyone feels well taken care of.

The Yoga capital of the world

Ubud, Bali has become one of the top destinations for yoga and spirituality. The local Balinese Hindus live their practice through a strong belief in karma and acts of devotion - offering to the gods on a daily basis. Ubud translates into ‘medicine’ and has always been a holy center for healing and purifying. It is hard not to feel the strong, yet nourishing energy -like a warm embrace - from mama Bali.

One-on-one attention

Everyone has their own unique journey with yoga and meditation. It’s not a one-size-fits-all kind of practice. Samyama Mindfulness Meditation Center values the importance of one-on-one attention by keeping their group small, offering each student a teacher/mentor they can go to with questions, and creating a buddy system.

Top-notch teaching platform

The teaching platform is carefully curated to guide you efficiently and in a structured way through the curriculum which you can easily follow self-paced. This way your self-practice will be fully integrated into your daily life. You will enjoy 12 months of access to more than 150 high-quality theory and practice videos, approx 500 pages of course papers, and dozens of recorded guided meditation sessions.
