Samyama — 200-Hour Yoga & Meditation YTT, Ubud

About the Program

Samyama is set in the Banjar Kumbuh community of Mas, a peaceful village about 5–10 minutes' drive south of central Ubud, surrounded by rice fields and tropical jungle. Founded with a commitment to depth over breadth, Samyama's 200-hour training is best known for its emphasis on yoga philosophy, meditation methodology, and the inner dimensions of practice — making it the program of choice for students who want to go deeper than most standard certifications allow.

Class sizes are capped at 28 students. The curriculum balances daily asana with intensive philosophy, Sanskrit, pranayama, and multiple meditation techniques. Three meals a day are included, and on-site accommodation is available in a range of room types.
