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 library of supported Yin and Restorative shapes with propping

Course content
The principles of Yin
Long holds, the muscles deliberately off, and what actually changes when someone stops fighting a shape.
Restorative yoga
Propping a body so fully that it can rest rather than work. The unglamorous skill that makes it work.
The nervous system, plainly
Why rest is a skill, why the exhale settles, and how to teach both.
Balinese singing bowl
An introduction to using sound to help a room settle — from my own tradition.
Holding quiet space
How to guide stillness without filling every silence. Harder than it sounds.
Self-paced theory + live practice
Theory at home; the teaching of stillness, live with Ocha.
Course description
Anyone can tell a room to lie down. Teaching rest so that people actually let go — that is a craft, and it is the opposite of the loud, strong yoga most training focuses on.
What you will learn to teach
The principles of Yin and Restorative yoga: long, supported holds, the art of propping a body so completely that it stops working, and how to hold quiet space without filling it. Plus an introduction to the Balinese singing bowl as a tool for settling a nervous system. You will learn to teach the practices that reach the students who are too wired to sit still — usually the ones who need it most.
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 receptive, quiet pillar — the balance to the active work — and the nervous-system understanding that underpins all of it. Take it standalone for the depth or the YACEP hours, 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
Yin gets sold with a lot of talk about fascia and meridians that runs well ahead of the evidence. I teach what I can stand behind: held long enough, in a shape someone is genuinely supported in, people stop bracing — and a nervous system that has stopped defending itself behaves very differently. That is enough. It does not need mysticism.
By the end you will be able to:
- Sequence and teach a full Yin or Restorative class
- Prop a range of bodies into real rest
- Hold silence and let a practice breathe
- Introduce sound without it becoming a gimmick
This is for you if:
- You want to teach the quiet, restorative side of yoga
- You already teach dynamic classes and want the balance
- You are drawn to sound and slower practice
It pairs especially well with the Ashtanga module — strong and soft, taught by the same hands.
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.
