Beginners are my favourite students, and after eight years of teaching in Bali I can tell you why: progress is fastest at the start — if the foundations are taught properly. The problem with learning yoga in a packed drop-in class is that nobody checks your knees, your wrists, your lower back. You copy the shapes, build small mistakes into your practice, and those mistakes follow you for years. This course exists to prevent exactly that.
It's five private classes, usually spread over one to two weeks, with a structure I've refined over hundreds of beginner students (and a 500-hour YTT behind it). By class five, you can practise simple sequences alone — safely.
What to Expect
- Class 1 — Foundations: breath, neutral spine, and the four positions you'll use most: cat-cow, downward dog, lunge and child's pose. We find out how your body moves.
- Class 2 — Standing poses: warrior variations, triangle and balance basics. Knees and hips learn where to point.
- Class 3 — Sun salutations: the full sequence, broken down slowly, with wrist-safe and back-safe variations.
- Class 4 — Linking breath and movement: your first real flow, plus seated poses and gentle twists.
- Class 5 — Your own practice: we build a 20-minute routine you can do without a teacher, and I'll honestly tell you what to work on next.
Pricing (IDR)
The 5-class beginner course is IDR 1.700.000 — that's the 5-class package rate, 15% below five single classes (IDR 2.000.000). Each class is 60 minutes; upgrading the whole course to 75-minute classes costs IDR 2.020.000. Couples can take the course together at the couples rate plus a single course fee. All numbers are on the pricing page.
How Home Classes Work
Everything happens at your villa or hotel — we bring mats, blocks and straps, and you need about 2 x 3 metres of flat floor. Most students book a fixed slot (sunrise and morning work best for learning) every second day, which leaves a rest day for your muscles between classes. If you're staying longer in Bali, the natural next step after the course is a weekly private class or a gentle introduction to vinyasa flow. Book the course start on WhatsApp — 24 hours ahead is enough.
