Vinyasa Yoga Academy
The 100 Hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training in Bali is a 10-day residential programme at Vinyasa Yoga Academy, covering Kundalini kriyas, pranayama, chakra science, mantra, meditation, and the philosophy of awakening. Set against the lush, high-vibration backdrop of Bali, this program focuses on the "Yoga of Awareness". It runs three times a year, in January, July and August, in small batches, on our dedicated campus in Ubud Bali, Indonesia.
Every session is led by Yoga Alliance certified Kundalini teachers with over 8 years of Kundalini teaching experience. Each subject, kriya, anatomy, mantra, and philosophy, is taught by its own dedicated instructor, not a single generalist covering everything. This is a structured, curriculum-led training. Whether you are stepping onto the mat for the first time or deepening an existing practice, no prior Kundalini experience is required to join.
On completion, you receive a VYA 100-Hour Kundalini Certificate of Completion, a recognised stepping stone toward the 200-Hour Kundalini Yoga TTC in Bali and the globally registered Yoga Alliance RYT-200 credential.
Understanding The Basics
Kundalini Yoga is the systematic science of working with your body's energy, not just its muscles, flexibility, or breath. While Hatha and Vinyasa operate primarily on the physical body, Kundalini works on the pranic body: the subtle energy system that governs how you feel, think, react, and recover.
The word 'Kundalini' comes from the Sanskrit word 'kundal', meaning 'coiled'. It refers to the primordial life force energy, Shakti, that lies dormant at the base of the spine in the Muladhara chakra, coiled like a serpent, waiting. Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training is a focused, foundational dive into the "Psychospiritual Science" of yoga — designed to take the mystery out of Kundalini and provide you with a practical, safe, and structured toolkit for self-transformation.
Precise sequences of posture, breath, mantra, mudra, and bandha — each created to produce a specific outcome in the body, mind, and nervous system. Moves through seven chakras, from Muladhara at the root to Sahasrara at the crown, each awakening a new dimension of awareness.
Kundalini integrates Bhakti (devotion), Shakti (energy), and Raja (mind) yogas into one coherent science. A single Kundalini session can work simultaneously on your nervous system, endocrine glands, mental patterns, and energetic field.
Unlike purely physical styles, Kundalini operates on the subtle energy system, the layer that shapes how you feel, think, react, and recover. The result is a practice that transforms you from the inside out, not just strengthens the body.
Course Structure
The 100 hour curriculum at Vinyasa Yoga Academy Bali is structured to deliver each of the 100 hours through a clear and transparent combination of live teaching, guided practice, and integrated self-study — all within your 10 days on campus.
Day by day, this simple yet powerful routine helps you develop discipline, confidence, and a genuine love for yoga. Each subject is revisited regularly so that knowledge is built through immersion rather than long, isolated blocks — the traditional gurukul method that makes residential training in Bali noticeably different from the same number of hours spread across weekends at home.

Inclusions and Requirements
The 100 Hour Kundalini YTTC in Bali at Vinyasa Yoga Academy is a fully structured yoga teacher training programme. Depending on the package you choose, your accommodation, daily sattvic meals, yoga equipment, study materials, and completion certificate are included so you can solely focus on completing your training.
Discipline In Our Yoga Community
At Vinyasa Yoga Academy, discipline is a practice we choose from within, and it begins the moment you arrive. Our Bali training community is rooted in the teachings of Karma Yoga: selfless service, self-inquiry, and conscious living. These principles shape how you share spaces, how you eat, sleep, and show up for your fellow students and teachers every single day. The Balinese spirit of 'Tri Hita Karana', i.e., harmony with people, nature, and the divine, quietly leads everything here, making Bali a uniquely powerful place to truly practice what you learn.
As a student in this programme, you are asked to maintain a sattvic way of living during your yoga training. This means keeping personal and shared spaces clean, refraining from meat, fish, eggs, alcohol, and tobacco, and embracing the early-morning schedule with commitment. These are not restrictions, but tools. They sharpen your focus, calm your nervous system, and create the internal conditions where core shift through learning becomes possible.
How Your Day Looks Like
Your day at VYA Bali begins at 5:00 AM and runs through to the evening, covering Kundalini kriya, pranayama, chakra theory, yoga philosophy, anatomy, and self-practice. Each session builds on the one before it, with meals and short breaks structured into the day to give your body and mind time to absorb what each session opens up.
Lights off at 10:00 PM is part of the programme; the early mornings and the depth of daily practice demand it. Sundays are reserved for excursions: guided visits to Balinese temples, beach meditation sessions, and local cultural experiences. The schedule below reflects a standard training day, Monday through Saturday.
Schedule and timings may be adjusted according to the season and weather. Lights off by 10:00 PM supports the physical demands of the early morning schedule and is necessary for the depth of what you'll be processing each day.

Yoga Alliance Certified Syllabus
The 100 Hours Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training curriculum at Vinyasa Yoga Academy Bali is built around 14 subject areas, covering the full breadth of Kundalini Yoga as a complete science, not just a collection of practices.
You will study Kundalini asana and kriya sequences, pranayama and bandha, chakra science and energy anatomy, mantra and sound, meditation techniques, yoga philosophy, yoga nidra (psychic sleep), Shatkarma (cleansing practices), Ayurveda, and an introduction to teaching methodology. Each subject is taught as a dedicated module by an E-RYT 500. By the end of the course, you will not just know what Kundalini Yoga is — you will have lived it, ready for the next step: the 200 Hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training Course.

Who Is This Course For
The 100 Hr Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training is open to anyone aged 18 and above. No prior Kundalini experience or yoga certification is required. All you need is curiosity, openness, and willingness to fully commit to the 10-day journey.
This training welcomes beginners, experienced practitioners, wellness professionals, and travellers looking for a deeper spiritual and energetic experience in Bali.
Why Vinyasa Yoga Academy
Bali, where rice paddies meet ancient temples and the air itself feels alive. What sets Vinyasa Yoga Academy apart is the balance of authentic tradition, structured curriculum, and a genuinely supportive community. Watch our students describe the experience in their own words, then read what that translates to in practice.
The 100 Hour course is awarded a school certification directly by Vinyasa Yoga Academy, as the 100-hour level is not registered under Yoga Alliance. It offers a beautiful foundation for students who wish to continue later toward a complete 200 Hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training journey.
Our teaching lineage comes from Rishikesh, the birthplace of yoga and home of Vinyasa Yoga Academy's founding campus. We bring that deep, traditional knowledge to Bali, blending it with the island's own spiritual richness. The result is an experience that is both authentically yogic and originally Balinese — something very few schools in Bali can offer.
Our Bali faculty teach as Yoga Alliance certified teachers, led by senior E-RYT 500 faculty. With over 10 years of hands-on experience across Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Anatomy, Ayurveda, and Sound Healing, our teachers do not just lead your practice; they transform it. Their depth shows in the way they see you and respond to what you need, not in the way they lecture.
We deliberately keep our groups small. This is not a marketing claim; it is our teaching philosophy. Small groups mean individual focus, personal feedback, genuine conversations, and the kind of one-to-one guidance that turns a course you take into a foundation you actually build on.
With consistent 4.8-star ratings across Google, Trustpilot, and Yoga Alliance, and students arriving from more than 60 countries, Vinyasa Yoga Academy is among the most trusted yoga teacher training schools in Bali and globally. Our students join a lifelong community of international yoga practitioners and teachers.
Yoga Gurus and Faculty
All sessions in the 100 Hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training in Bali at Vinyasa Yoga Academy are led by Yoga Alliance certified teachers, specialising in Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga and bringing deep knowledge of Vinyasa, Yin Yoga, anatomy, Ayurveda, and sound healing.
Each faculty member is an active Yoga Alliance member, rooted in authentic yogic tradition, and dedicated to passing on that knowledge with clarity and precision. In Bali, surrounded by a culture that honours the sacred in daily life, their teaching takes on an added dimension that is simply not delivered anywhere else.

Very thankful for the experience and the learning that I received here. I used to practice Yoga by myself, but after coming here I could correct many things that I had no idea I was doing wrong. Everyday was fulfilling and a bit tiring, but satisfying.

Your Next Step In Yoga
Our 100 Hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training Certificate offers a beautiful foundation for students who wish to continue later toward a complete 200 Hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training journey.
With your VYA 100-hour certificate, you can begin assisting in yoga classes, support experienced teachers, offer guided sessions within your comfort level, and continue building your skills as you work toward full certification.
And for those serious about teaching yoga professionally, this 100-hour training is an ideal first building block toward the full 200 Hour YTTC, which is the internationally recognised Yoga Alliance standard. Many students complete both programmes in a single extended visit to Bali, leaving with everything they need to teach confidently anywhere in the world.
To be clear: There is no RYT 100 certification. And this course does not independently award a Yoga Alliance RYT 200 certificate either. What it does give you is structured, authentic training in asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, and anatomy — training that holds real value wherever you go next.
Weekend Experiences
We go beyond training: your yoga journey also includes real encounters with the land, culture, and sacred traditions of Bali. You can look forward to temple visits, beach yoga, local sightseeing, and shared moments with fellow students.

Become A Successful Yoga Teacher
Yoga has always meant more to us than postures and breathing techniques. From the very beginning, Vinyasa Yoga Academy was built on the belief that real yoga lives in how you treat the world around you. Rishikesh gave us a home, a community, and a purpose, and giving back to this land is something we feel in our bones, not something we planned on a whiteboard.
Over the years, we have worked closely with orphanages in Rishikesh, bringing meals, shelter support, and yoga to children who needed steadiness in their lives. We have also run health awareness camps for families in the local area who rarely get access to basic medical guidance, simple sessions on hygiene, preventive care, and healthy habits that most of us take for granted. We take pride in conducting cleaning initiatives to make the environment cleaner, and we actively advocate waste management methods to improve the community's general health.

Questions You May Have
The programme is open to anyone aged 18 and above. If you are a beginner, a regular practitioner, a wellness professional, or just a curious traveller, and you feel ready to start, you are ready to join.
No. This course is built to welcome complete beginners. What matters is genuine interest and willingness to commit to the daily schedule.
No. This course is conducted at a Yoga Alliance-registered school, but the 100-hour training itself is not a standalone certification. It counts toward the full 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training required for Yoga Alliance (RYT 200) registration.
This is a common confusion. There is no Yoga Alliance RYT 100 certificate. To get certified by Yoga Alliance, you will need to complete an additional 100 hours through a 200 Hour YTTC with a Yoga Alliance-registered school.
The programme runs for 10 days. Sessions begin at 5:00 AM, and the evening schedule concludes by around 6:30 PM, with structured practice, theory, self-study, and meals integrated throughout.
Yes, accommodation is included with the full package. We have private and shared room options available. Check the dates and pricing section to know the full breakdown.
Vinyasa Yoga Academy's Bali campus is located in Ubud, a peaceful and spiritually vibrant area known for its rich culture and natural beauty. For more information, email us at contact@vinyasayogaacademy.com.
Bali has a tropical climate and is welcoming all year round. The dry season, from April to October, is especially popular, with clear skies and mild days ideal for outdoor yoga. VYA Bali runs the 100 hour Kundalini YTT course once a month for the entire year. You may pick dates that best suit your schedule.
Vinyasa Yoga Academy is a Yoga Alliance RYS 500-registered school (school ID 181446), so your training follows Yoga Alliance USA standards.
Yes, for sure. The 100 Hour Kundalini YTT course is designed as a direct lead into the 200 Hour teacher training course. You may complete the remaining 100 hours directly after this course or at any time preferred by you. After completing the full 200 hours, you are eligible to register for Yoga Alliance RYT 200.
Yes. Bali is known as one of the safest and friendliest places on earth for yoga students and wellness tourists. Balinese culture is warm, respectful, and spiritual, and it truly supports the yogic and meditative inner work.
All meals included in the programme are freshly cooked sattvic vegetarian food — the traditional yogic diet. Light, wholesome, and nourishing, the food is carefully planned to keep your energy steady and your digestion comfortable. Lunch and dinner on Sundays are not included on campus; students can dine at excellent nearby vegan and healthy restaurants.
It qualifies you to offer private sessions, assist in studios, lead wellness workshops, or work at retreat centres. However, it is not sufficient for Yoga Alliance RYT 200 registration or complete professional teaching on its own. For the full professional certification, the 200 Hour YTTC is the recommended next step.
Yes. The 100 Hour Kundalini YTT programme will take you through basic teaching methodology, class structure, and guided yoga practice. It's an initial experience that will help build self-confidence and a particular practice style for your future teaching career.
All sessions are taken in plain conversational language and are conducted entirely in English. Our expert teachers have welcomed students from more than 60 countries over the years and are skilled in making complex yogic concepts accessible and inclusive to all, irrespective of their origin, language, creed, or race.
