BALI 200-HOUR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING PACKING LIST

WHAT TO BRING TO A 200-HOUR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING IN BALI

It can be quite daunting, leaving home, for several weeks, venturing to a faraway land. It goes without saying; relevant clothing, your passport and personal items are required, when preparing for a 200-hour teacher-training programme in Bali, but what else?

Samasthala Yoga have provided a list of essentials when embarking upon this wonderful journey.

1. YOGA MAT

Generally, yoga resorts and teacher-training schools, often supply all the required yoga equipment. However, you might prefer bringing your own mat, for a number of reasons, including hygiene and familiarity. If you are travelling long-term, we recommend using a travel yoga mat which is light-weight and foldable so it easily fits into your luggage.

Our recommendation for the best yoga products, is the eco-conscious lifestyle brand Myga. You can claim a 15% discount on all of their wonderful accessories, once you have signed on with our 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training.

2. JOURNAL AND ASSORTMENT OF PENS

You will be taking a lot of notes. Some of this can be penned on the spaces of your training manual (both our Yin booklet and our 180 page manual are all-inclusive with the price at Samasthala). Though you may require adequate space for writing personal observances and thoughts. We suggest, at least one notebook and an assortment of pens and markers.

3. LOOSE CLOTHING AND SANDALS

You’ll be practicing a lot of yoga. However, at our 200-Hour Teacher Training, you will have some free time in the evening and one day off per week for relaxation. You may feel a certain amount of loosely fitted clothing that you can slip into, and easy-going footwear at the end of the day is a must.

4. SARONG

When in Bali, it is obligatory for you to wear a sarong when entering a cultural site for religious reasons. Apart from this, a sarong can be used for multiple purposes. This includes being a light blanket, shawl, headband or simply evening cover. Though, don’t worry if you forget, we offer sarongs for purchase at our location!

5. BRING ENOUGH YOGA WEAR!

Though stating the obvious, this is especially vital in tropical countries, where more than one item is required.

6. PROVISIONS AND PERSONAL ITEMS

Necessities such as toiletries, DEET Insect Repellent, sunscreen, anti-diarrhoea tablets, and hand sanitizer or baby wipes, are strongly advised. Bring any travel first-aid kits you would normally take on holiday. Furthermore, consider packing a strong multi strained probiotic, and digestive enzymes to bypass Bali Belly.

Try to commit to conducting some research for what would be required, such as sensible footwear for any excursions, a light jumper for cooler evenings (depending on season) and all personal items to suit your needs.

7. YOGA MAT SPRAY

In the spirit of saucho ‘cleanness’, the inclusion of a yoga mat spray is advised. They can often be found in organic stores, made with natural ingredients. So it doesn’t harm the environment or your body.

8. A PERSONAL TOTEM

Finally, you may wish to take along a personal belonging, like a talisman, mala, or a small crystal. Place it next to your mat, make a wish or dedicate your practice to it. That is a nice habit to possess.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A 200-HOUR AND 300-HOUR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING?

by Samasthala Yoga • 30 Jan, 2023

You sit, peering intently at your laptop or technological device, scanning yoga teacher trainings websites. The thought that gestated several weeks ago, has fully manifested into action. You are going to answer that call for adventure, and book yourself onto a yoga teacher training course. Though, after appraising several homepages that showcase beaming Yogis dressed in graduational whites, proudly holding their well-earned accreditation. You are struck with a question. What is the difference between 200-Hour and a 300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training? 200-HOUR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING Once you have completed a 200-Hour Yoga Alliance Yoga Teacher Training. You will be provided international accreditation. You will have immediate entitlement to use the word RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher) and hold a 200-Hour Yoga Teacher certification. You then have the option to become a Yoga Alliance® member. They have certified RYTs in 130 countries and territories, around the world. A 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training, is learning dispersed over a 200-hour period. It may be that you choose an intensive all-inclusive yoga teacher training course ranging anywhere between two weeks to one month. Or something that covers many weekends over the period of several months to a year. This is all dependent upon your Modis operandi. Though the curriculum between schools can vary; a solid foundational 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training course should endow you with the skills, and knowledge to teach with a certain amount of assurance and confidence. Be aware that not all 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training courses are created equal. It is important to look at the curriculum and research if the training suits your needs and expectations. Samasthala Yoga has developed an all-inclusive 200-Hour Teacher Training programme that goes well beyond the reach of the basic 200-hour YTT. 300-HOUR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING This course is taken, upon succession of your 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training. It is classified as a secondary level of your education, and can be referred to as ‘Advanced Yoga Teacher Training’. A good 300-Hour Yoga Training programme should aim to deepen your understanding of all that is yoga. This will include fundamental asana, philosophy, ayurveda, meditation, and anatomy. It is generally required, that you complete your 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training (and acquire some teaching experience) before attending a 300-Hour YTT. Upon completion of both, you can register as an RYT-500. This advanced teaching certificate indicates that you are prepared to teach yoga with a deeper set of knowledge and skills, developed through more extensive studies. The Samasthala Yoga 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training is condensed into a 200-hour format, but holds the depth of something more akin to a 300-hour accreditation. Through careful planning, and some TLC, we have outlined a detailed curriculum . This it to ensure you have the edge as a yoga practitioner and teacher, upon graduation. You are welcome to view the video below to discover how this exciting venture was formed, and why.
