H2O Yoga & Ma'at Yoga Academy — 200-Hour Hatha Vinyasa YTT, Gili Air

About the Program

Ma'at Yoga Academy runs its 200-hour foundational teacher training at H2O Yoga & Meditation Center on Gili Air, the quietest of the three Gili Islands off Lombok's north-west coast. The centre has two open-air bamboo shalas and the Good Earth Café on site, and is a short walk from the island's beaches. There are no cars on Gili Air, so the setting is calm and easy to settle into for a month of study.

The training is led by Brea Burke, an E-RYT 500 and Yoga Alliance lead trainer with more than 17 years of teaching experience, with co-trainers Christina Bubba (a full-time facilitator at H2O Yoga) and Kamila Duda (E-RYT 500, breathwork). Groups are limited to 12 students, so there is plenty of individual feedback. Ma'at Yoga Academy is a Yoga Alliance RYS 200 and RYS 300, and graduates can register as RYT 200 teachers.
