Vinyasa Yoga Academy
The 200 Hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training in Bali is a 20-day Yoga Alliance-certified residential programme at Vinyasa Yoga Academy. It covers Kundalini asana, kriya yoga practices for kundalini awakening, pranayama, chakra science, mantra, bandha, kundalini tantra mudra, yoga nidra, subtle body anatomy, yoga therapy, Shatkarma, and the philosophy and teaching methodology of the Kundalini tradition. On completion, you receive a 200 hrs Kundalini YTTC completion certificate from VYA that qualifies you to register for Yoga Alliance RYT 200 certification.
We carry our teaching lineage from Rishikesh, the source of the Kundalini and Tantric tradition in India, to Bali with full integrity. Every module is led by an E-RYT 500-certified instructor with at least 10 years of dedicated Kundalini experience.
The 200 Hour Kundalini YTTC in Bali is both a full professional certification and a direct pathway into the 300 Hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training for those who want to make a career in yoga.
Understanding The Basics
Kundalini Yoga is one of the oldest and most complete systems of yoga, working on the body, mind, breath, and energy all at the same time. Unlike other styles of yoga that focus mainly on physical postures, Kundalini Yoga works on multiple layers of the human system at once. A single Kundalini kriya can calm your nervous system, balance your hormones, sharpen your focus, and open your energy pathways — all in one session.
A Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training is where the practice stops being something you do and becomes something you understand. You learn the science behind the kriyas, the philosophy behind the tradition, and the skills to guide others through an experience as powerful as this one deserves to be.
Kundalini Yoga works on multiple layers of your system at once — nervous system, hormones, focus, and the subtle energy body. A single kriya can do what most modalities take weeks to deliver, which is why it is such a complete practice.
On completion of the 200 Hour Kundalini YTTC, you receive a VYA completion certificate that qualifies you to register as a Yoga Alliance RYT 200 — a credential accepted by studios, wellness centres, and retreat facilities worldwide.
This 200 Hour Kundalini course is the direct foundation for the 300 Hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training, where you go further into the science of awakening, refine your teaching, and add advanced specialisations.
Course Structure
The 200 Hour Kundalini YTTC at Vinyasa Yoga Academy Bali delivers all 200 hours through a transparent combination of live kundalini teaching, guided kriya practice, and integrated self-study — all within your 20 days on campus.
Day by day, this rhythm builds the discipline, awareness, and energetic sensitivity required of a Kundalini teacher. Each subject is revisited regularly so that knowledge is layered through immersion rather than taught in 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.
Our Milestones
Celebrating Our Journey Through Remarkable Achievements.
Inclusions and Requirements
The 200 Hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training in Bali at Vinyasa Yoga Academy is a complete 20-day residential programme in Ubud, Bali. Everything is taken care of so that you can arrive, settle in, and focus entirely on your training from day one. Your accommodation, daily sattvic meals, study materials, yoga equipment, and all on-campus needs are fully covered from the moment you arrive.
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
During the 200 Hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training Course, the day opens at 5:00 AM with kundalini sadhana. From there it builds: kundalini, pranayama and meditation, kundalini theory and asana, teaching practice, and self-study, with each session flowing into the next with the logic of the practice itself.
Mornings are for the body and breath. Afternoons are for the mind. Evenings bring everything back to stillness. By 10:00 PM, lights are out. 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 process each day. 20 days of this rhythm does something to you that no weekend workshop can replicate.
Sundays are reserved for excursions — guided visits to Balinese temples, beach meditation sessions, and local cultural experiences. Lunch and dinner are not provided on Sundays, but you can enjoy local cuisine at nearby affordable cafes and restaurants. The schedule below reflects a standard training day, Monday through Saturday.

Yoga Alliance Certified Syllabus
The 200 Hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training curriculum at Vinyasa Yoga Academy Bali covers 18 core subject areas, each taught as its own dedicated module by a specialist Kundalini teacher. The curriculum goes deep into the specific science, philosophy, and practice of Kundalini Yoga.
You will begin with the physical and energetic architecture and progressively move into the science behind Kundalini awakening. Theory and practice are taught in parallel, with enough time for you to self-learn. By the end of this course, Kundalini Yoga will be a lifestyle you'd have lived for 20 days, and are equipped to share anywhere in the world.

Benefits of Proper Teaching Methodology
What You Will Learn
At the end of the course, students are evaluated and certified based on the following criteria:
Who Is This Course For
The 200 Hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training programme is open to anyone aged 18 and above. No prior yoga or Kundalini experience is necessary, as the course is taught step-by-step from foundational principles.
Whether you are completely new to yoga, an experienced practitioner, or someone searching for deeper personal transformation, this immersive training is designed to guide you through the authentic path of Kundalini Yoga.
Why Vinyasa Yoga Academy
Bali draws yoga students from every corner of the world, and there is no shortage of schools to choose from. But location alone does not make a training worth your time or money. What makes the difference is who is teaching, what they actually know, and whether the curriculum goes deep enough to change how you understand the practice. That is what we have built at Vinyasa Yoga Academy.
Vinyasa Yoga Academy is a registered Yoga Alliance RYS 500 school and also Our 200 Hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training follows Yoga Alliance guidelines, making you eligible to apply for RYT 200 certification upon completion.
Our founding campus is in Rishikesh, the geographical and spiritual source of the Kundalini lineage in India. We bring that unbroken tradition to Bali, where the island's particular spiritual atmosphere creates a context for inner work that is rare. Our curriculum is rooted in the Tantric and Shakti traditions of India, which our Rishikesh campus has been upholding for over 15 years.
Kundalini is increasingly being packaged as a wellness experience — breathwork here, a kriya there, some mantra for atmosphere. That is not what we teach. At Vinyasa Yoga Academy, you learn why each kriya is structured the way it is, what it does to the nervous system, and how it moves energy through specific pathways in the body. When you finish, you'll understand what is actually happening when you teach.
At Vinyasa Yoga Academy, each of the 14 subjects is taught by an expert E-RYT 500 teacher with over 10 years of experience in the specific field. Your anatomy session is taught by someone who has spent a decade studying it. Your philosophy session is taught by someone whose daily life is shaped by yogic philosophy.
Kundalini Yoga works at the level of your energy and your nervous system. That kind of practice requires a teacher who can actually see you, not manage a room of 40 people. We limit every batch to 15 to 20 students so that your teachers know where you are each day, can adjust when something is not landing, and can give you the individual attention that makes the difference between completing a course and genuinely transforming through one.
More than 10,000 students have trained across VYA's campuses (Bali and Rishikesh). They come from over 60 countries and consistently rate their experience 4.8 out of 5 on Google, Trustpilot, and Yoga Alliance.
A portion of your course fee goes directly back into the local Balinese community. Through our initiatives of social help, you don't only remain a visitor — you contribute to the process of positive impact and local support.
Yoga Gurus and Faculty
All sessions in the 200 Hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training in Bali at Vinyasa Yoga Academy are led by Yoga Alliance certified teachers, each a specialist in Kundalini Yoga — covering kriya, pranayama, mantra, chakra science, kundalini tantra, anatomy, and meditation.
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.

Kลvรกry Anett
The three weeks spent at the school exceeded all my expectations. I was not only impressed by the professional knowledge of the prepared and authentic teachers, but also by how much my image of yoga was transformed. I also learned a lot about myself, and I can say that I returned home a different person than I was when I arrived in Rishikesh.

Very good overall, competent teachers, great atmosphere. The food was a bit plain, but I expected that because it had to be yogi food. The accommodation was a bit dirty, but I guess in Indian standards it was ok.
Isabel Q
I completed here my 200h YTT and it was the best possible experience. The teachers were so invested and real that I got to grasp the core and deep meaning of yoga. The school was amazing and could not be more beautiful surrounded by nature and silence. I would definitely recommend it for anyone who wants to expand their knowledge in yoga.

Your RYT 200 certification from Yoga Alliance, combined with your training at Vinyasa Yoga Academy, gives you a solid base to start teaching. You can begin leading classes, support workshops, or grow your own practice with confidence.

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.

This curated PDF library offers a variety of yoga poses, mudras (hand gestures), breathing exercises, and deep philosophy.

Questions You May Have
Yes, the 200 Hrs Kundalini Yoga TTC is open to complete beginners and structured to build from first principles. Many of our students arrive with no prior practice. What matters is genuine interest and willingness to commit to the daily schedule for 20 days.
The programme runs for 20 days. Sessions begin at 5:00 AM and conclude by early evening, structured around Kundalini practice, theory, self-study, and meals. Sundays are dedicated excursion days, included in the programme structure.
No. Yoga Alliance does not have a separate registration category for Kundalini teachers. All teachers register under the same RYT 200 credential. Your Kundalini specialisation is communicated via your VYA Kundalini completion certificate.
Yes, accommodation is included in the residential 200 Hrs Kundalini YTTC in Bali, with both private and shared room options. Please review the dates and pricing section for the full package breakdown.
All meals are freshly cooked sattvic vegetarian food, the traditional diet followed in yogic practice. The food is simple, clean, and prepared to keep your energy steady through the demands of daily training. On Sundays, lunch and dinner are not served on campus, so you get to step out and explore Bali's food scene, which has some genuinely good vegetarian and vegan restaurants.
No, Kundalini yoga places far less emphasis on physical flexibility than Hatha or Ashtanga. The practice works primarily on breath, energy, and awareness. Students of all body types and fitness levels can practise comfortably.
A kriya is a specific sequence of posture, breath, sound, and mudra designed to produce a precise effect in the body and energy system. Unlike a general yoga flow, every component of a kriya has a specific function. Yes, Kundalini Kriya is central to daily practice throughout this programme.
Yes. At the end of the course you will have a short teaching practice and a simple written test. Both are easy to follow and your teachers will prepare you for them throughout the 20 days. There is nothing to stress about.
Yes. Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport in Denpasar connects directly to most major cities across Asia, Australia, and the Middle East, with onward connections from Europe and the Americas. Once you land, our team will guide you on getting to the academy. We recommend arriving a day before the course begins so you have time to settle in.
Yes, the training includes teaching practice, guidance, and feedback to help you build confidence and clarity as a teacher.
Yes. The 200 Hour Kundalini course is the direct foundation for the 300 Hour Kundalini YTTC, which deepens the science, refines your teaching skills, and adds the advanced specialisations that distinguish an experienced Kundalini teacher. You can continue directly after this course or return at a later date.
Bring comfortable clothes for practice, a notebook for your studies, your daily essentials, and a willingness to learn and stay open to the experience.
Kundalini is a powerful practice. It deserves to be approached with respect rather than fear. When taught with proper structure, experienced guidance, and appropriate lifestyle support, it is safe and deeply beneficial. The risks people associate with Kundalini arise primarily from unstructured or unsupervised practice.
The 20% booking deposit is non-refundable. If you need to reschedule, you can request a transfer to a future batch provided you notify us at least 30 days before your start date. Your enrolment is valid for one year from the date of your original booking. Contact us at contact@vinyasayogaacademy.com or +62-8132881810 to get personalised help.
You leave with your VYA 200 Hour Kundalini Completion Certificate, which qualifies you for Yoga Alliance RYT 200 registration. You also leave with a daily Kundalini practice that is yours to keep. Most graduates report that what they take home most meaningfully is not the certificate — it is the change in how they relate to their energy, mind, and practice.
