What Makes Our Trainings Different?
Small Groups
of 5-15 Students
At Mindful Bali, you won't get lost in a huge group of students. Unlike teacher trainings with 50 - 100+ students, we take small groups of 5 - 15 students in each yoga teacher training cohort, making it an intimate, safe container for you to develop your confidence and discover yourself. The learning will be personalized to each student's needs.
Ancient Meets Modern
Our lead trainer, Alexandra, has a strong background in traditional yoga studies - particularly studying Patanjali's Yoga Sutras in depth with a one-on-one teacher through many years in India. However, she also has a B.A. in gender studies - making subjects like inclusivity, trauma-informed yoga and cultural appropriation a priority.
Both Vinyasa & Yin Certifications
You will be certified to teach both vinyasa yoga and yin yoga by the end of this training. Whilst many teacher trainings only offer one of these qualifications, we offer both at the same time - helping you to discover your preference and skills as a teacher.
Women Only & Mental Health Focus
After years of leading yoga teacher trainings, retreats, and programs around the world, our founder, Alexandra, discovered the unique power of women-only spaces—LGBTQ+ and trans-inclusive—to foster deep connection, safety, and transformation. Inspired by this, she created Bali’s first women-only Yoga Teacher Training. With a strong background in sobriety and recovery, Alexandra brings a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to her programs, ensuring they are supportive and inclusive for those on sober journeys and navigating mental health challenges.
Develop a Daily Meditation Practice
We firmly believe that yoga teachers should have a consistent daily meditation practice - but many teachers walk out of their trainings feeling not disciplined or capable enough to implement this practice. That's why at the beginning of the training, students will complete a three day How to Meditate Course (Mantra Meditation, from the 1 Giant Mind Tradition) and then implement this with twice daily meditations throughout the training.
Lots of Practice Teaching
Alexandra has a Bachelor of Education and taught in private schools for six years before making her career move to lead Yoga Teacher Trainings in Bali, so she knows about the process of education - and how to train teachers. Our manual is complete with lesson plans, and trainees will have opportunities to teach frequently throughout the training - setting you up with all the skills you need to go off into the world as a yoga teacher.

Hi, I’m Alexandra – a yoga educator, retreat leader, and the heart behind Mindful Bali. After years of traveling the world teaching yoga and hosting retreats, I’ve found my home here in Bali – where the jungle meets the spirit, and transformation feels tangible.
With over 200 graduates from my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Trainings and a decade of experience teaching yoga to students in Canada, Kuwait and Abu Dhabi, I created Mindful Bali as a sanctuary for soulful, embodied learning. My trainings weave together the physical practice of vinyasa and yin yoga with the deep wisdom of yoga philosophy, meditation, and pranayama – all rooted in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.
My own journey through sobriety, trauma healing, and spiritual study has shaped my teaching style: grounded, compassionate, and real. This isn’t just a yoga teacher training – it’s a space for you to reconnect with yourself, step into your power, and learn how to share yoga from a place of authenticity.
Whether you're dreaming of teaching yoga or craving a life-changing inner journey, Mindful Bali is here to guide you every step of the way.

"You don’t have to travel to Bali to get yoga alliance certification, but if you want to or you’re already there, The Mindful Life Practice provides an amazing experience in a beautiful Villa just outside of Ubud. Alex is down to earth, humble, dedicated to her sober community, and steadfast in the continuous growth of her yoga practice. If you do a YTT or a retreat you will be supported & comfortable, your light will be nurtured, and you’ll have some time to explore Bali too."
Darlene, Virginia
"I have been practicing Yoga with Alex at The Mindful Life Practice since May of last year and I absolutely love it! Alex is the most genuine, authentic and inspiring instructor that I've ever had. After practicing with her for just a few months I decided to sign up for her Yoga Teacher Trainings and am so happy that I did. There is such a light and beautiful energy that Alex brings to her classes that I thoroughly enjoy. I highly recommend attending her classes if you are in Bali or online if you can't attend in person!"
Leanne, Cayman Islands
"I wish there were 6 stars! Alex's approach to yoga was the magic that allowed me to develop a practice that is now a daily thing. She is accommodating to all levels and encourages everyone to take what they need from their practice. Highly recommend taking a class with her if you get the opportunity! She's led me through 230 hours of YTT and also a retreat in Mexico and I'm forever grateful."
