How it works
Study the theory at home. Short recorded lessons you complete at your own pace before we meet.
Come and practise in person. Teacher-led sessions in Bali for the practice, the seeing and the teaching — the parts a screen cannot give you.
Take it further, if you want to. Complete all four modules for the full 200-Hour Foundation — teaching practice and practicum included, in person with Ocha.
What's included
-
Around 50 hours: self-paced theory you complete at home, plus in-person, teacher-led practice with Ocha in Bali
-
A grounded introduction to yoga philosophy, mantra and pranayama

Guided reflection you complete at your own pace

Course content
The roots of the practice
Where the yoga you practise actually comes from, and what it was for.
Mantra
What it is, how it is used, and how to bring it into a class without mystique.
Pranayama
The purpose behind the breath practices, and how to teach them safely.
Philosophy you can use
The few ideas worth carrying into a room — understood, not memorised.
Ethics and lifestyle
The part of teacher training people skip, and the part students feel.
Mostly self-paced, with live discussion
Read and reflect at home; meet live to make sense of it together.
Course description
Say "Tantra" in the West and half the room thinks of something it is not. This module is the real thing: the philosophical roots of yoga, and the practices — mantra, pranayama — that grow out of them.
What you will learn to teach
The core ideas that give a practice its depth, taught so you can carry them into a class without sounding like a textbook. Mantra and its use, pranayama and its purpose, and the philosophy that ties breath, sound and attention together. This is the module that turns a good technician into a teacher with something to say.
How the hybrid format works
The theory you study at your own pace, before we meet — short recorded lessons you can pause and rewind. The practice, the seeing and the teaching happen in person with me, here in Bali, because those cannot be learned from a screen alone. You arrive to the live sessions already prepared, so our time together is spent on the parts that actually need a teacher in the room.
Where it fits
This is one of four modules in our 200-Hour Yoga Foundation. It owns the philosophy pillar — the yoga philosophy, lifestyle and ethics that a foundation requires — and much of it works beautifully as self-paced study. Take it standalone or stack all four.
Who teaches it
I am Oka Pastini, a Balinese yoga teacher born and raised in a village in Bali. I have been teaching since 2019 — across Bali, throughout the Indonesian archipelago, and in Europe — and more than 5,000 people have practised with me. I hold a 500-hour Hatha Yoga certification along with 100-hour trainings in Aerial and Yin Yoga, and deepened my practice in Rishikesh, India.
An honest note
Philosophy is where a lot of yoga teaching goes vague, or borrows authority it has not earned. I would rather teach a few ideas you genuinely understand than a long list of Sanskrit terms you can only recite. Depth over decoration.
By the end you will be able to:
- Explain the roots of the practice in plain language
- Introduce a mantra or a pranayama with confidence and care
- Bring a philosophical thread through a class without derailing it
This is for you if:
- You want your teaching to have depth, not just good cueing
- You are curious about yoga's philosophical roots
- You are building toward a 200-hour foundation and need the philosophy module
Every module has two parts. First, the self-paced online part you complete at home, at your own pace — recorded theory, anatomy and technique breakdowns. Then the in-person, teacher-led part here in Bali: the practice, the seeing and the teaching, which cannot be learned from a screen.
You arrive already prepared, so your time on the mat with me is spent practising and teaching — not sitting through lectures you could have watched at home.
Each module stands on its own, and gives YACEP continuing-education hours if you are already a registered teacher.
Stacked together, the four modules make up a 200-Hour Foundation — with the teaching practice and practicum woven right through them, in person with Ocha, so there is nothing separate to add. Turning that foundation into an initial teaching certification (Yoga Alliance RYT-200) will be available once Bali Yoga House completes its Yoga Alliance RYS registration — we will tell you the moment it is live.
