Vinyasa Yoga Academy
Some journeys need a full month. This one fits in five days and still changes something.
The 50-Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training at Vinyasa Yoga Academy in Bali is a 5-day foundation course for people who want real yoga training without a month-long commitment. You will cover Yin Yoga practice, pranayama, Yin philosophy, sequencing, teaching methodology, and the Body Meridian System, all taught by our E-RYT 500 faculty on campus in Bali.
This course works well if you are new to formal yoga training, want to test the experience of residential study, or are building toward a full 200-hour yoga teaching certification. The 50 hours count as continuing education and can be applied toward your RYT 200 credential with Yoga Alliance.
Upon completion, you receive a VYA 50 Hour Yin Yoga TTC completion certificate that acts as a formal record of your continuing education and a stepping stone toward RYT 200.
Understanding Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is a slow, floor-based practice where poses are held for three to five minutes at a time. Instead of working the muscles like most yoga styles do, Yin works deeper into the connective tissue, fascia, and joints. That stillness is what makes it different and what makes it worth studying properly.
Yin Yoga is also rooted in the meridian system from Traditional Chinese Medicine. Meridians are the energy pathways running through the body. Specific Yin postures stimulate these pathways, which is why a well-taught Yin class can affect a student far beyond the physical level.
A 50-Hour Yin Yoga Training is a short-format, intensive course that covers the core principles of Yin Yoga, postures, pranayama, philosophy, the Body Meridian System, and teaching methodology in a condensed but structured learning format.
Course Structure
The 50-hour curriculum at Vinyasa Yoga Academy Bali is structured to deliver each hour through a focused combination of live teaching, guided practice, and self-study — all within your 5 intensive days on campus in Ubud.
Mornings open with guided meditation and move through Yin Yoga practice, pranayama, and anatomy. Afternoons cover Yin Yoga philosophy, sequencing, and self-mastery sessions. Self-study time between sessions gives you the space to absorb and integrate what you have learned. Sunday is a free day with an optional excursion tour included in the course fee.

Inclusions and Requirements
Our 50 hour Yoga TTC is a fully residential programme in Ubud, Bali. As this is a short, high-impact course, we handle everything, from food, accommodation, logistics, and all other facilities, so you can stay immersed in learning and growing.
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
The daily structure of the Yin Yoga Teacher Training Bali at VYA runs from 5:00 AM to early evening across all five days. It is intensive but balanced. Each day moves through multiple subjects so that by day five, you have direct experience in every area of importance.
Mornings open with guided meditation practice and move through Yin Yoga practice, pranayama, and anatomy. Afternoons move into Yin Yoga philosophy, Yin Yoga sequences, and self-mastery sessions. Self-study time between sessions gives you the space to absorb and integrate what you have learned.
Note: Sunday is a free day. We organise excursion tours that are part of the full programme and included in the course fees.
Yin Yoga TTC Syllabus
The curriculum for the 50 Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Bali covers all core subject areas over five days. Each is taught as a module, with both theory and practice components in place. Our E-RYT instructors will always support you through the basics so you understand not just how to move in a posture but why and what each one exists for.
Yin Yoga is deeply rooted in philosophical and energetic principles. Understanding the meaning, history, and core concepts of Yin Yoga is essential for teaching with depth and authenticity.
Breath is the anchor of a Yin practice. This module covers pranayama techniques specifically adapted for Yin Yoga, helping practitioners stay present, release tension, and move deeper into stillness during long holds.
Yin Yoga postures are held for extended periods, targeting the connective tissue, fascia, and joints rather than the muscles. This module gives you a thorough working knowledge of the 27 key Yin postures, how to enter and exit them safely, and how to help students find their appropriate edge.
Teaching Yin Yoga is as much about holding space as it is about knowing postures. This module develops your skills as a facilitator, covering class structure, verbal cueing, and the calm, grounded presence that makes a Yin class transformative.
Proper alignment and skilled adjustments are essential for keeping students safe and helping them deepen their practice. This module covers the use of props, how to support students in poses, and how to modify for individual needs.
Understanding how Yin Yoga works on the body is what separates a skilled teacher from someone who only knows the shapes. This module covers the anatomy of connective tissue, fascia, and the meridian system from Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Master the specific techniques needed to teach Yin Yoga effectively. This module covers how to sequence classes, give proper instructions, make adjustments, and structure practices that transform students' experience of stillness and surrender.
Yoga Nidra is a guided relaxation technique that complements Yin Yoga perfectly, taking students from physical surrender into deep mental and emotional release. This module teaches the theory and practice of Yoga Nidra as a powerful closing for Yin classes.
Who Is This Course For
This course is open to anyone. You do not need a yoga teaching certificate, a specific fitness level, or years of practice behind you to join. If you have been practising yoga for a while and want to go deeper, this training gives you that.
The 50-Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training Bali is designed for people who want more than a yoga holiday but are not yet ready for a full month-long certification program.
Note: Whether you are here to begin a professional teaching path or simply deepen your personal connection to yoga, this 50-hour journey offers clarity, confidence, and community.
Why Vinyasa Yoga Academy
Ubud is one of the few places in the world where the culture genuinely supports the practice of yoga as a living tradition. Five days of yoga training in this setting adds a quality of depth that no studio in a city can replicate.
Beyond the setting, the structure of this programme is what sets it apart from most short yoga courses. The curriculum is properly sequenced, not simply a rotation of classes. The teaching follows the same Himalayan-rooted lineage as our 100, 200, and 300-hour teacher training programmes. A short-term course lives or dies by the quality of its teaching. Here is what makes the difference at VYA.
Our curriculum and faculty share the same Rishikesh roots as our 200-, 300-, and 500-hour programmes. The 50-hour format is shorter, not shallower. You will experience the same quality of teaching and philosophy as in our longer yoga courses.
A teacher with at least 10 years of dedicated teaching experience and the highest Yoga Alliance instructor certification available leads every session. Specialist knowledge in Yin Yoga, the meridian system, and anatomy is brought into every class.
Vinyasa Yoga Academy is an RYS 500 school — the highest registration level by Yoga Alliance USA. Your certificate comes from an institution held to the highest internationally recognised standards, making your continuing education hours credible worldwide.
As an ISO-certified institution, we apply quality management standards to every aspect of the programme — curriculum, teaching, campus, and student experience. You are enrolling in a school that is accountable at every level.
You will get a chance to practise alongside students from 100+ countries, create a global network of friends, and build real-life connections in just one week.
Yoga Gurus and Faculty
All sessions in the 50-Hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Bali are led by E-RYT 500-certified teachers with specialist knowledge in Yin Yoga practice, the Body Meridian System, pranayama, and Yin philosophy.
Each faculty member is an active Yoga Alliance member, rooted in authentic yogic tradition, and dedicated to passing on that knowledge with depth and genuine care. In Bali, surrounded by a culture that honours stillness and the sacred in daily practice, their teaching carries a dimension that simply cannot be replicated elsewhere.

Your VYA Certificate
Completing your Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Bali is a significant milestone that marks your transition from a casual practitioner to a disciplined student of the craft. Though there is no standalone Yoga Alliance RYT 50 credential, the certificate does count directly toward the 100 Hour Yoga Teacher Training pathway, which in turn contributes to the Yoga Alliance RYT 200 qualification. If you complete the 50 hours and decide you want to continue, your certificate, hours, and foundational knowledge do carry forward.
Upon successful completion of the course and an assessment, you will be awarded the 50-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Completion Certificate. This certificate serves as official recognition of your hours spent in study and a professional record of your dedication to the tradition and your foundational competence in multistyle yoga.

Questions You May Have
Yin Yoga is a slow, floor-based style of yoga where poses are held for three to five minutes at a time. Rather than working the muscles, it targets the deeper connective tissue, the fascia, ligaments, and joints. It draws from Traditional Chinese Medicine, working with the body's meridian system to improve energy flow, reduce tension, and create stillness in both the body and the mind.
No, not at all. The programme is designed for complete beginners. Sessions are taught progressively from the foundation up, with individual guidance from teachers throughout. The only requirement is showing up consistently and genuinely engaging with the schedule.
Each day runs from 5:00 AM to early evening with 8 hours of live teaching and 2 hours of structured self-study — 10 hours per day across 5 days. The total is 50 hours in a span of 5 days with daily classes and self-practice.
Comfortable, loose yoga clothing; a light layer for early morning sessions; walking shoes or sandals; sunscreen; a personal water bottle; toiletries; and a notebook and pen. Yoga mats and props are provided on campus. White clothing is welcome for any ceremonies during the programme.
All sessions are conducted entirely in English. Our expert teachers have welcomed students from more than 100 countries over the years and are skilled at making complex yogic concepts accessible to all.
The 50 Hour Yin YTTC runs once a month throughout the year, from the 20th to the 26th of each month. This gives you a clear, fixed schedule to plan your travel around.
Both are slow and floor-based, but they serve different purposes. Restorative Yoga is about complete relaxation with full prop support. Yin Yoga applies a gentle, sustained stress to the connective tissue to stimulate deeper flexibility and energy flow. One rests the body, the other works it quietly.
Yes, for most people a daily Yin practice is safe and beneficial. Because it targets connective tissue rather than muscle, the body recovers differently than from stronger styles. A daily practice of thirty to sixty minutes is reasonable for most practitioners.

A Yin Yoga teacher training course helps you to guide your students to another level. Along with your hatha yoga teaching, you can also guide Yin, which is good for elderly and ill people.
A 50-hour certificate gives you a strong foundation in Yin Yoga theory, postures, and sequencing. However, if you intend to teach professionally in a studio, most employers will also require a 200-hour foundational certificate alongside it.
Yes, of course. The 50-hour certificate serves as a direct stepping stone toward the 100 Hour Yoga Teacher Training, which in turn counts toward the Yoga Alliance RYT 200 pathway. If you decide to continue your training after the 50-hour programme, your completion certificate and your practical foundation carry forward into the next level.
