AYS YTT BALI REQUIREMENTS

 Our only requirements:
1. Be kind to yourself.
2. Accept yourself.
3. Trust you’re exactly where you need to be. 

You don’t need to bend it like Beckham or touch your toes like Tiffany. In fact, maybe you’ve never even taken a yoga class.  Yoga is not about how flexible you are or what brand of yoga pants you’re wearing.  It’s about what you bring to the practice, what you bring to life.  

 “Asanas bring perfection in body, beauty in form, grace, strength, compactness, and the hardness and brilliance of a diamond.”

-Patanjali

ABOUT THE LOCATION

Called the Isle of the Gods, there is a special reason why the Balinese devote their lives in ceremony to the gods and why so many foreigners are drawn to this intricate island of healing, expansion, transformation & growth.  Ultimately, finding their way back to themselves, finding our way back to ourselves. Back home.

In Uluwatu, Bali, the air is sweet, the land is pure and the Balinese people with their beautiful culture will keep you captivated in all its magic - pure magic. 

Wake up to an endless ocean. Practice yoga on a breathtaking cliffside yoga hall. Nourish your body with organic meals.  Optimise performance with the latest biohacking tools. Meditate on the sunset and connect with others in a natural paradise. This is The Istana.

The Istana is a 5-star, purpose-built, luxury retreat center sitting cliffside in Uluwatu, Bali, the most southern point in Bali, Indonesia.  By combining ancient and modern tools, The Istana allows technology and tradition to exist side-by-side, where modern bio-hacking methods (cryotherapy, sensory deprivation tanks, infrared saunas and hyperbaric chambers) are being utilised in tandem with meditation, yoga, and breathwork.  The Istana believes that world-class people deserve world-class experiences.
