WHAT MAKES BALI SPECIAL?

Bali is known as the Island of the Gods! Rich in cultural tradition, magic, and mystery, this unique island is a place of healing, love, and good vibrations. Mewali Movement highly values the Balinese Culture, as our company name is even rooted in Balinese Language. We incorporate as much Balinese culture as we can into our training schedule, ideals, and intentions. Those traditions make our training unique to other intensive yoga teacher training courses around the world!

COMPLIMENTARY CULTURAL ACTIVITIES

Mewali Movement focuses on in-classroom education, yet we equally recognize the benefits of out-of-classroom teachings. Blessed to be doing a yoga teacher training in Bali, we are happy to leave the studio space for times to be enriched by Balinese culture and lifestyle, as our company is rooted in. We begin the training with a traditional Balinese Ceremony led by a local Balinese priest. At the Welcome Ceremony, Mewali Movement provides a complimentary Welcome Package from our sister company, Mewali Boutique, to each trainee. In here, you can find handmade Balinese goods, aromatherapy products, vouchers for local restaurants and spas, as well as numerous gifts for you! Our other sister company ran solely now by local Uluwatu Boardriders, Mewali Surf, will take you surfing on a beginner surf break at Padang Padang Beach, where Eat Pray Love was filmed. We will get to visit some of the most iconic Balinese Temples throughout the training as well— right in our backyard, we will take a tour the Uluwatu Temple at sunset and watch the cultural Kecek Dance. We will also venture up to Ubud for a cleansing Balinese ritual at Tirta Empul. Relax throughout the training with a complimentary traditional Balinese Bokasi Massage, feel embodied in a Gong Bath Meditation at Pyramids of Chi, set new intentions with a Balinese Full Moon Ceremony, among much more Balinese surprises and blessings throughout this month-long course. Experience the full magic and mystery of the Island of the Gods with Mewali!
