    Amazing!
    I realized a 200 hours YTT at Loka Yoga school in April 2024, it was an amazing experience!! I was looking for a school that could deliver a high quality teaching, in a safe and friendly environment. Loka Yoga exceed all my expectations! The teachers are highly qualified, they share all their knowledge. Taryn, the lead teacher is brilliant, she has so much knowledge and experience, she answers all the possible questions, she is an incredible women, such an inspiration! The YTT is extremely well organized, everything is planned in order to learn as much as possible and in a way that your body and mind can adjust depending on how you feel. The venue is amazing! I learn so much and more than I thought possible. After 4 weeks, Loka Yoga gives you all the tools to become a Yoga teacher!

    An Incredible experience! DO IT!
    Loka yoga school is incredible! I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to do my yoga teacher training here. I’ve learnt so much, and feel confident with the knowledge I’ve gained to be a successful yoga teacher. This yoga training is Filled with yoga, alignment, spirituality, anatomy and so many tools to assist you in becoming a yoga teacher and also to aid you in deepening your personal practice. Taryn is such a wonderful person and an excellent teacher, she’s so knowledgeable and supportive of each and everyone of her students. The love and dedication she puts into the program really shines through! The schedule has been crafted so intentionally and with so much love. I am truly grateful to all the teachers for sharing their passion and knowledge and making the experience as wonderful as it was. I truly had the most incredible experience here! Not only have I grown in terms of my yoga but also personally. This training encourages a personal journey inwards, discovering blockages and learning so much about yourself. Which is something I was looking for with a training. I’ve also met so many like minded people who are friends for life and I can’t wait to follow their yoga journey. If you’re looking for experienced teachers and a safe, encouraging environment to grow and learn I highly recommend this ytt and that you embrace the experience for all the wonder that it is and enjoy it! 😊

    World Renowned YTT- Look No Further
    My experience with Loka Yoga School far exceeded any expectations I had. I felt so safe, secure, and supported throughout my entire teacher training. All the instructors were dedicated and passionate about their teachings. I really appreciated the overall curriculum and diving deeper into the anatomical and philosophical areas of my yoga practice. Taryn is an amazing and inspiring teacher that is truly passionate about her teachings and school! The 200 hour YTT is highly recommended for those wanting an intentional and rewarding experience. Look no further for a YTT! 🙏🏻❤️📿🪷

    Transformational Yoga Teacchers Training Course
    I recently attended a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training at Loka Yoga School in Bali. The experience was so much more than I could have ever imagined. I attended not because I wanted to teach Yoga, but the thought of immersing myself totally in all things Yoga for a month appealed. But to my surprise by the end of the course I had the belief in myself and the skills to be a Yoga teacher! The course was so well structured and thought out. Taryn created such a safe space and a beautiful culture within the group that we very quickly began to feel like family. It enabled a platform for personal growth beyond anything I thought was possible. The course content was very professional and all the teachers involved were incredible. I learnt Philosophy, anatomy, sequencing, adjustments and corrections, breath work and so much more!! Taryn as a teacher is truly amazing. Her form, explanation, knowledge and experience is incredible. You felt fully supported throughout the 4 weeks. You always knew she had your best interests at heart and you could approach her if you needed anything. Yann was an excellent Anatomy teacher. I learnt a lot about how the body works and how it relates to Yoga and Asanas. Yann made it a lot of fun. Alka, the Philosophy teacher was incredible! I learnt so much about Yogic Philosophy and also gained important life skills that I will be able to use throughout my life. There were so many other components to the course that contributed to creating an absolutely transformational, beautiful experience. Thoroughly recommend Loka Yoga School. Belinda

    Transformative
    Loka yoga school 200 hr training has exceeded my expectations. Writing this on the last day, the amount of love I feel right now is indescribable with words. I will forever be grateful for this experience. Not only did I learn so much about the practice itself, but I gained a deeper understanding of myself and insights into where I would like to direct my attention moving forward. This teacher training is intense, it is challenging physically, mentally, and emotionally. However, I’ve observed that these conditions create a remarkable opportunity for exponential growth and transformation. I know that I have come out of this school more empowered, inspired, compassionate, present, and confident than I ever thought possible in a months time. Taryn is wickedly passionate about teaching, and this passion seeps into every aspect of this course and us students as well. The way she structures and carries out each day is so well thought out. We dive deep into so many areas of yoga not mentioned on our certificate; from teaching yoga to kids, Biomechanics, Kirtan, Ecstatic dance, breathwork exploration, the list goes on. The opportunity of exposure in these areas is so valuable, and allows for students to explore where we may want to direct our own teachings. Having an instructor that can energize and inspire is rare and so important. I am honored to have started my journey as a yoga teacher with Taryn and Loka yoga. And her commitment to supporting students beyond the training is amazing. I am strong, supported, and free. Thank you for this experience, it will stay with me forever.

I have previously completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training in vinyasa flow and was looking to dive deeper into meditation and pranayama. I chose the three-course bundle and am currently studying the Yin Yoga, Meditation and Breathwork courses online. Taryn and Yann have a friendly style of teaching and have broken down the content into easily digestible modules, so it is easier to retain the information. They provide clear explanations in the lessons through a combination of video and text lessons, and I have found the platform very easy to use. Thank you Loka Yoga School, I am thoroughly enjoying learning this wisdom and more about myself on the way. I would recommend for yoga teachers who want to expand their knowledge or individuals who want to develop their own practice.

I decided on the 200 hr teacher training in Bali 2019 as I was familiar with Taryn’s trainings and was interested in her holistic approach. These 4 weeks were definitely intense, but the training basis was well-founded, well-demonstrated and well-explained. The basis for an integrated yoga learning approach was applied through Taryn in the areas of yoga itself, along with her knowledgeable team in anatomy (Yann) and Vedic spirituality (Sharada).
My expectations here were completely fulfilled – I was able to reach new limits and learn new techniques. I continued to take classes online with Taryn and her team throughout 2019, 2020 & 2021 & highly recommend them.

I was searching for an online Yin yoga training course and Loka yoga school came up on top of the lists of recommendations. They had a special offer then, so I signed in.
I finished my yin yoga online training in December 2020 and was very happy with the content of the course, the sequences, the knowledge and also the way the online course was presented. So I promised myself to peruse this further and go for my 200hrs training with the same school, but in person.

I was in contact with Taryn, our yoga teacher and owner of Loka yoga school, by text and emails over a period of a year planing and hoping to get answers so I make my decision to join the in person course when ready and able.
She was very responsive throughout our communications which gave me a solid ground to making that decision.

A year and a half later, arriving in Bali without expectations, I met the most wonderful couple, Taryn and Yann, our teachers, also “Night” their beautiful dog that kept us company throughout our stay.

The course was smooth from early morning, sunrise, until just before sunset, with meditation, yoga practices, anatomy, philosophy, adjustments and much more.
Taryn, presented yoga in a way that allowed each of us to find our own paths.
I left every day with a new experience and knowledge, more confident to try and accept new poses and adjust confidently towards my long lived with injuries.

The place was clean and beautiful, opening our eyes daily to greenery, meditating sometimes to the sound of the rain, sound of nature, and the sound of the nearby sea waves.
We also had a very tasty vegan breakfast everyday, and we enjoyed few outings and treats here and there.

Over the course of a month, the school created a family for me, everyone was warm and welcoming, all of us became very close, interacting on a daily bases was so rewarding in many ways.

I left Bali, with plenty of knowledge, confidence and a lot of love from unfamiliar faces that became home.

I am very happy I chose Loka Yoga school to do my 200hrs with. Today, I am very ready and confident to concur the yoga industry and teach the real world what I learned.

My experience at Loka Yoga was one of the best of my life. Taryn and Yann are some of the most genuine, kind and caring people you could ever meet. Both of them consistently went above and beyond to make sure each and every person had the best experience we could. On top of that, Taryn is an extremely talented and knowledgeable yoga teacher and I ALWAYS felt safe and supported in her workshops and classes. Yann has a huge amount of medical experience and it was truly an honour to learn anatomy with someone who has first hand experience.

Both Taryn and Yann brought a beautiful, genuine and vibrant energy to every single class, workshop and activity. They have poured there hearts and souls into this teacher training which is reflected in the extremely intelligent timeline and the world-class quality of all teachers that shared their knowledge with us. At Loka Yoga, we had the opportunity to teach both a 30 minute and 60 minute class which isn't offered at every school but is absolutely essential and beneficial if you wish to feel confident as a teacher when your course comes to a close.

My time at Loka Yoga was so much more than a teacher training. I personally had the opportunity for deep and powerful self reflection and healing (which was fully supported and nurtured) and the connections I made with my fellow yogis are some of the most beautiful friendships I've built throughout my life. To be surrounded by like minded people who are experiencing the same challenges and joys builds something special.

During my time at Loka Yoga, I stayed on site at the Bali Harmony retreat. The quality of retreat is out of this world. The room was luxurious, extremely clean (and was cleaned daily), and very comfortable. Peter and his team made sure we were well looked after and also provided laundry services which made life easy.

I can't recommend the Loka Yoga School more highly. It was one of the best months of my life so far. I absolutely feel confident and compitant in my ability to teach yoga, meditation and pranayama thanks to the Loka Yoga school and Taryn and Yann. Take the leap, and I promise that you'll thank yourself for it.

Where do I begin?!
I can't recommend loka yoga enough to anyone who is thinking or not even yet thinking to do their YTT. I truely believe that this is a magnificent course that everyone should experience in their life time. The amount of value, magic and profound moments packed into 4 weeks is truely something unforgettable. I know that even if I forget specific knowledge (which I can refer to the lifetime manual), the feelings I have gained will stay with me forever and they will be something I can tap into whenever I need. The amount of thought and effort gone in to make this course was it is, is truely above and beyond. From the little gift on arrival, to the final practice filled with asanas and music from all the students practicums, to the countless thoughtful gestures between undoubtedly just filled every students heart, before the course, during the course and after the course.
My heart is truly truly filled. Thank you for all your effort and time. Thank u for sharing all that you know with the world, it was such a beautiful experience to be apart of 🤍💗💓

P.s.s the eyegazing, sharing circles, shoulder talk, angel walk, I will never never forget the light it bought into my life. I can't thank u enough.

Peace and love ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍💕

I recently had the pleasure of joining the August 22 Yoga teacher training at Loka Yoga.
The teachers are exceptional, and although it is intense, there is great time and care taken for every student to get the best outcomes.
I am a little older than some of the people in attendance, but Overall the group were warm, welcoming and very talented and sweet people.

I believe this comes from the strength of the teachers.

Before arrival, all expectations and requirements are clearly outlined, down to driver recommendations, Visa support if staying over the 30 days, things to make sure you pack, massage therapists to use while here and anything else you can think of.

On arrival at the location (Bali Yoga Harmony retreat) Taryn and Yann came prior to the start to introduce themselves and ensure everything was great.

The classes we detailed, the workbooks were a lifetime of experience squished into a spiral binder.

I highly recommend Taryn and Yann at Loka Yoga school for their professionalism, knowledge, wisdom, kindness and compassion.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Taryn, Yann, and the entire staff at Loka Yoga School are some of the most thoughtful people I have ever met and the most thorough teachers I have had the pleasure to learn from. The curriculum has been meticulously designed to set students up for teaching success as soon as they leave Bali, and they have beautifully weaved in opportunities for deep reflection, human connection, and lots of laughs along the way! Since we had the opportunity to teach multiple yoga classes before graduation, I was able to grow my confidence as a teacher by refining my skills in designing sequences, articulating cues, and giving adjustments. A phenomenal experience I would recommend to anyone looking to attend a teacher training program :)

Taryn and Jan is a wonderful duo that walks their talk in a honest and welcoming manner. Their passion to teach and share their rich knowledge and experience within Yoga, Anatomy, Personal Development, Breathwork, Yoga Vedic Tradition, and much more is truly tangible in all interactions. I have had the pleasure to study several of their courses and they have all been instrumental for my personal and professional journey towards more vitality and inner peace. My experience with Loka Yoga School have been genuine, safe, grounded, inspiring and playful all at once. They provide a space to find yourself, in a joyful and in-depth process of discovery and self-exploration.

I've been home for a couple of weeks now and I'm still struggling to properly articulate into words exactly what Loka Yoga School has done for me. It feels somewhat hyperbolic to say it's been a life-changing experience, but it truly has. As a result of my participation in their July 2023 YTT, I have found parts of myself that I thought were previously inaccessible or even lost. This alone would make the experience life-changing, but there's more. What Taryn and Yann have created is nothing short of remarkable. For one month, you get to live, breathe, eat, and sleep yoga. In doing so, you see how yoga can transcend the mat and become something so much richer and deeper than you get to experience at any given studio.

I contemplated doing my yoga teacher training in the United States because it would be closer to home, more feasible with my family life, and more in line with the practices that I'm familiar with, but I am so glad I didn't. By traveling to Bali, I discovered aspects of yoga that I never knew existed, and now all I want to do is bring them to the studios around me. I've been inspired by Taryn, Yann, and Alka and intend to use their inspiration to guide me daily. They are the true epitome of what it means to live yoga by dedicating yourself to this ancient practice.

Taryn and Yann bring you in and make you feel like you're part of their family and they are available 24/7. They are supportive, kind, authentic, and sincere in all of their interactions. They infuse play into their classes and remind you regularly that yoga is not meant to be so serious. The playfulness of the classes makes it easier and fun to take on the next challenging posture or push yourself beyond your own limiting beliefs. With Taryn's gentle and encouraging guidance, I was able to reach incredible new heights in my physical practice over the course of the month. Instead of viewing every wobble or fall as a failure on my part, I began to see them more as opportunities to play. Yet another life-changing gift from my time at this school.

Seriously, if you're on the fence about whether or not Loka is right for you, please do yourself a favor and just do it. It was easily the best gift I have ever given myself and I will never be the same because of it. If I had to do it a million times over, I would choose Loka Yoga School every single time.

I don’t think there are enough words and expressions out there to describe my experience doing Yoga Teacher Training. I am sure that many people will feel the same around the world when they complete their training and become a teacher. However, it won’t be nearly the same as doing it with Loka Yoga.

From the moment I was accepted into the program, I knew I had chosen the right path. The gang at Loka had fantastic clear communication through emails, whatsapp and Instagram ensuring that I was fully prepared and to make the transition as smooth as possible.

The month of intensive teacher training actually went past so fast. We started the kick off with a traditional Balinese Ceremony- being blessed by ice cold water & flower petals followed by a delicious dinner where we could chat and get to know the other yogis.

The next four weeks were filled with such informative workshops and lessons- including the asana labs where we learned about different postures and correct alignment, anatomy classes to understand how everybody is different, but also the same in regards to muscles, nerve systems and how it works. We also had philosophy lessons which were very eye-opening. We would learn mantras, sanskrit, the history of yoga and what it means to be limitless. We also had super specialized workshops about Kids yoga and Yoga mechanics. I don’t want to give too much away, but wow!

Other things that really made the experience were all the other extras. We were blessed enough to experience ecstatic dance, drumming circles, fire ceremonies, angel walks, blindfolded yoga practice, yoga nidra and celebrating some yogi’s birthdays. Mine included!

Taryn and Yann were the most accommodating, compassionate people and I know that I will have friends for life in them. They weren’t just teachers, they really have a calling for sharing what they know. I didn’t want my time there to end, but they have set me up for success.

I can’t wait to start my further education with them and dive deeper into meditation, breathwork and look at Yin Yoga.
