Meditation and Pranayama

Each morning starts with meditation, pranayama (breathing), kriyas (cleansing techniques), and bandhas (body locks) to open your energy channels, purify, balance and revitalize the body and mind. Ancient yoga revolves around meditation as a means to liberate oneself the suffering of ignorance, to see clearly the ultimate reality and attain enlightenment or union with the divine. Without meditation as your guiding light, you are just stretching on a piece of rubber.

Hatha yoga

Hatha is the root of all modern yoga and involves holding traditional poses for longer periods of time in order to achieve mindful body awareness and focus as well as correct alignment. Ha-tha means sun and moon and is meant to be a perfect balance of physical, mental and energetic elements to create a holistic practice. Hatha also helps to build the requisite strength and flexibility for more challenging styles such as Vinyasa and Ashtanga. 2 to 3 times per week.

Vinyasa yoga

Take your hatha foundation to the next level with Vinyasa yoga, which involves linking together variations of traditional asanas and sun salutations with breath and movement to create graceful sequences with options for advanced development. Each class is a unique experience that invokes a thoughtful journey to test ones limits and explore new possibilities with a careful balance of physical practice and spiritual mindfulness 2 to 3 times per week.

Aerial yoga

Aerial yoga is growing popular all over the world and is a great tool for beginners, injured, and elderly who need support as well as advanced practitioners looking for inspiration. Aerial frees the body from the restraints of gravity, allowing you to follow the natural flow of your own intuition. Aerial also offers therapeutic spinal decompression and pain relief 2 to 3 times per week.

ULU Yoga is famous for their 50-hour Aerial Yoga Trainings and cushioned ULU Yoga Swings, which won’t slip or bruise the skin like silk hammocks. Full courses feature aerial hatha, aerial vinyasa, aerial acro, restorative and choreography. 7 day courses start after the 200hr YTT and offer a Yoga Alliance Certificate of Continuing Education. Join both as a 250-hour YTT.

Acro yoga

Acro yoga teaches you trust and communicate in fun and challenging new ways. Acro yoga improves focus, balance and alignment, plus offers therapeutic benefits similar to Thai Massage. On this course, you will learn beginner and intermediate acro yoga poses and methodology, then practice how to teach them once or twice per week.

SUP yoga

SUP yoga or Stand Up Paddle Board, offers a direct connection to nature while floating above crystal clear waters. Similar to acro yoga, SUP helps deepen the skills required for regular asanas as it requires maximum focus and balance. You will also learn SUP yoga methodology and opt to practice teaching. Once or twice.

Yoga Nidra and Yin

Yoga nidra offers the serene bliss of complete relaxation as you are guided on an internal journey, bringing awareness and love to each part of your body. Yin takes you deep into the subtle layers of connective fascia tissue with long held healing stretches. These classes provide heavenly relief to balance the long hours of physical practice and study. Once or twice each.

Workshops

Special workshops may include chakra opening, yoga for injuries and pregnancy, assisting, adjustments, ayurveda, nutrition, teaching meditation and pranayama plus spiritual excursions to various beaches, ecstatic dance, kirtan and temples. Some classes feature special guest instructors and are subject to change according to availability.

Analytics

Examine the mechanics of technique and alignment for the most common asanas. Learn the key poses in each category of asana (standing poses, forward bends, backbends, twists, and inversions). The goal is to understand both the form and the function of these different categories plus their common foundation and how to build upon it.

Anatomy

Learn the biomechanics of movement, the principles of compression and proportion, and working with different body types. Study the bodily systems including respiratory, muscular, skeletal and energetic. Examine the health benefits of various asanas and their ability to treat various illnesses and injuries.

Philosophy

Integrate the yamas and niyamas into your daily life to create an authentic yoga lifestyle. Gain insight into the subtle layers of the energetic body, chakras and nadis and their relation to modern medical science.

Teaching practice

A key feature of this course is immersive teaching practice and critical evaluation to become a skilled and confident instructor. You will practice teaching everyday and learn hands on adjustments plus design teach a complete class each week. These techniques have proven to be exceptionally effective and many students get great jobs right away after the course.

Teaching methodology

Learn the qualities of a good teacher, different teaching styles, communication skills, principles of demonstration, observation, and time management. Examine the interpersonal student learning process, group dynamics, fulfilling individual needs, working in various group settings, and establishment of priorities and boundaries.

During the course there is daily self-study, group work and assignments such as designing original classes and giving short presentations about various yoga topics.

Level

This course is open to all levels and students are recommended to take rest and modify as needed. Each week there is group sharing to give feedback and ensure your personal and academic needs are met and your time is truly enjoyable and nurturing on all levels to create a holistic balance.

Are you Ulu?

ULU Yoga strives to be creative and unique while still honoring the sacred wisdom of traditional yoga as a means to health, happiness and spiritual liberation. The key to ULU Yoga’s success has been open communication with students to both serve their specific needs, maintain group harmony, and reflect upon feedback to develop and grow.

We originally chose the name ULU simply because it sounded nice and had no meaning in English. It’s just a good vibration similar to AUM. After getting into aerial we surprisingly learned it meant owl in Hindi. The owl is like an aerial yogi who sits in quiet meditation, peering through the darkness to dispel ignorance and illuminate the true nature of reality before suddenly flying into action.

ULU also means whirlwind and is slang for crazy in arabic languages, where they say “Are you ULU?”. Over time, we chose to define ULU as Universal Love and Understanding. All together, this summarizes perfectly ULU Yoga’s love for traditional yoga and crazy styles like aerial, which unite students by helping beginners to achieve advanced poses and fly.

Get you water wings at Sanur beach for a fun day of SUP Yoga. Trek down the river gorge and do aerial flying over the water. Sing kirtan with live music at Sayuri vegan restaurant and liberate your body with ecstatic dance.

Each island has several small resorts, usually consisting of a collection of huts for tourists, a small pool and restaurant. Automobiles and motorized traffic is prohibited on the islands by local ordinance, so the preferred method of transportation is by foot and bicycle or the horse-drawn carriage called a cidomo. Diving in and around the Gilis is also popular due to the abundance of marine life and attractive coral formations.
