Deepen Your Practice: A Transformative Yoga Intensive in the Heart of Bali
Looking to take your yoga practice beyond the usual yoga classes? This July, Ubuntu Bali - one of Canggu's premier yoga academy- invites you to embark on a transformative two-week intensive that delves deep into the art and science of yoga under the guidance of veteran practitioner Damien de Bastier.
Set in Ubuntu's lush garden sanctuary just minutes from Canggu's famous beaches, this unique intensive runs from July 7-18, 2025, offering a perfect blend of profound practice and Bali's tropical serenity. Unlike traditional teacher training programs, this intensive is designed for practitioners who want to explore yoga's deeper dimensions while maintaining the flexibility to experience Bali's magic.
The program weaves together four essential elements that set it apart from regular yoga classes. Each morning begins with meditation, followed by Mysore-style practice that focuses on functional Ashtanga - an approach that prioritizes individual wellness over rigid tradition. The theoretical components include fascinating deep dives into nervous system anatomy and the philosophical wisdom of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras.
What makes this Bali yoga training truly special is its holistic approach to transformation. "We're not just teaching postures," explains Damien, who brings over 35 years of experience combining psychology, bodywork, and yoga therapy. "We're providing tools for practitioners to optimize their lives through yogic biotechnology." Participants will learn to regulate their nervous system, release psychological barriers, and create sustainable practices that extend far beyond the mat.
The intensive's schedule thoughtfully balances dedicated practice time with personal exploration. Classes run Monday through Friday mornings, leaving afternoons free to discover Canggu's vibrant scene or simply relax by the beach. Weekends are entirely free, allowing you to immerse yourself in Bali's rich culture and natural beauty.
Ubuntu, which means "I am because we are" in South African Swahili, infuses every aspect of this intensive. The intimate group setting (limited to 20 participants) ensures personal attention while fostering a supportive community environment. This sense of connection extends to the included vegetarian brunches, where participants can share experiences and build lasting friendships.
Whether you're a dedicated practitioner seeking to deepen your understanding, a yoga enthusiast curious about the practice's subtle dimensions, or simply someone looking to combine serious yoga study with a Bali adventure, this intensive offers a unique opportunity for growth and transformation.
Early bird rates are available until May 1st, making this investment in your practice even more accessible. The intensive can be joined with or without accommodation at Ubuntu's beautiful facility, allowing you to customize your experience to your preferences and budget.
