    Amazing School
    I recently completed my 300H YTT at Samyama. The training focus was on Meditation and Tantric Hatha. It was a transformative experience. My favorite part of the training was the teachers who are very passionate about what they do, and live up to their teachings, also very interesting, heart open, warm people, easy to relate. The training was very intense, and it had a 5 day silent retreat, and a 5 day kundalini retreat included, which in I got to learn a lot about myself. I recommend the YTT at Samyama for anyone who is looking to teach with authenticity and a spiritual heart. Samyama focus is not only in the physical practice, and physical body, it goes beyond.

    Magical experience
    Amazing yoga teacher training experience. I did my 300 hour YTT here & I can say it was magical. I truly feel like I learned yoga and what it is at the core. It is so much deeper than just an asana practice. Each teacher brings something magical and beautiful to the practices and the teachings. I cannot recommend this place enough.

    200H YTT- BALI SAMYAMA
    Wow! The most incredible school, with the most incredible teachers and the delicious food!! This centre really is a diamond in the rough. A cosy ashram in the middle of the jungle tucked away from the world. I've completed my 200hTTC training and I have walked away with more than I could have ever been prepared for. This space really is the heart of Ubud, a centre that prioritises the magic of classical teachings, the depth of history and the importance of truth, stillness and self inquiry. Not a place for the faint hearted -- we really went to some powerful places and the way their theory, lectures, asana and pranayama are woven allowed me to truly embody what yoga is. I feel so blessed to have studied with these four remarkable teachers. They all bring such a different flavour to the table and their combination provided us with an all encompassing approach. This is where you want to go to REALLY learn about yoga and meditation. I cannot wait to return for my 300h! Highly recommend this centre - 5 stars.

Life changing experience on yoga and meditation 200hr teaching training at Samyama, Ubud, Bali. I had the most amazing experience - I had no idea it would be so incredible and it was so much more than "teacher training". I spent a lot of time in my own head on topics I wanted and needed time for - it was perfect. The course itself was top notch - high quality materials and teachers.

Days were intense - 12 hour days with lots of yoga, meditation, theory, sharing. We had Sundays off to go into Ubud or do whatever - much needed break! The other participants were amazing and there was such a bonding between us all as we went through the experience together. I came out of it in possibly the best shape of my entire life. Great range of ages and backgrounds and everyone was welcomed. Food (vegan / veg) was good and never felt hungry or lacking, and included in price. You could also order from the kitchen if you had a special craving.

The location was gorgeous. Samyama itself is intimate and personalised - did not feel like we were being "processed through". I was so pleased I selected this school for my training.

I stayed in a little villa just across the street and that worked really well. I could just trot down to the school each a.m. and have my own private space at night. This accom was through the school although some others organised their own.

Bali is such a beautiful place and to do this course in Ubud (yoga epicentre) was such a treat and moving experience. If you want to get away and have some time for yourself, get the physical and mental side of things back on track, and have a wonderful, powerful and moving experience with a group of like-minded people - don't hesitate!

I took part in the 200 hr 28 day training and I could not recommend it more. It is a perfect location just outside of the main hub of Ubud, but you would never know when you're at Samyama, as it seems you are tucked in a lush jungle. The food was vegan and amazingly prepared and seasoned. The teachers and content of the course are of the highest quality. I will always remember what I learned here, the people I met, and the peace I felt in my heart after finishing my YTT.

I joined Meditation Yoga TCC 200hrs for 28 days. Samyama Ubud is my container to experience a life changing. A journey to myself. A safe place to practice to hear my inner voice, learn to be presence in every moment and accept all things in life. Thank you all teachers!"

Loved this meditation centre as venue for my retreat. The energy and location was the perfect place for my work and the staff are all amazing. Having flexibility and people to help and sort things out for me was a great help. I look forward toeing there again :)

My stay in Samyama was the right stop for nourishing my spirit and improve my self-care practice. The venue is neatly nestled in a wonderful greenery and with beautiful rice fields as part of the calming landscape. The location is conveniently at a very short ride from shops, restaurants and Ubud’s Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary.

Everyone is welcoming and kindness is what one receives from the first contact. Dijan, Saverio, Devlin, Andrea, Alex (as a bonus) were always available to provide guidance, share their wisdom and being excellent hosts. All the signage in Samyama will remind you to be in the moment, and also will put a smile on your face.

Their retreat programs are all very comprehensive and thoroughly designed. Their eat.co restaurant (Koko and all her amazing colleagues) completes the perfect combo serving the best ingredients, the most creative and tasty vegan meals and the kindest service (and the best singers in the kitchen!).

Samyama was the best gift I could have given to myself. I can only recommend to everyone to visit it and experience their amazing yoga and mindfulness concept.

I stayed at Samyama while doing a meditation retreat next door. I stayed in the single room with the shared shower.

There are many great things about Samyama, the most important one being the people. Saverio and Develin created a beautiful space and it has a calm and peaceful energy about it. The rest of the staff are equally lovely and always with a smile. Having Eat.Co next door is definitely a big plus with an entire menu of delicious vegan food you can not tire of. They even made me a vegan cake for my birthday!

If you want comfort, definitely spend a little more and stay in the villa if it is available. The rooms there and particularly the outdoor bathroom is amazing! There is a small pool by the villa which everyone has access to, except if the villa is booked out. For the rooms in the main building, two small downsides you may consider is that the shared facilities are on the other side of the building (but you get used to it) and the rooms are built with adjoining rooms for families, so if you’re on your own you just need to come to a considerate arrangement with your neighbour regarding light and sound (bring eye mask and ear plugs). Plus side is that you wake up overlooking the paddy field to the sound of nature (one night, the roads were mating so that was a little too much sound of nature :D #earplugs)

All in all, a lovely space to unwind and be based at for a retreat. I’ll be back for sure.
