Pranayama & Meditation 100 Hour YTT

September 1–10, 2025 | Bali, Indonesia
A transformative 10-day immersion into the power of pranayama and meditation for mental health

Most 200-hour yoga teacher trainings barely scratch the surface of breath and meditation techniques — yet these are the very tools that offer deep, lasting transformation for ourselves and our students. This 100-Hour Advanced YTT Module is designed to bridge that gap.

In this immersive experience, you'll explore pranayama and meditation as therapeutic tools for emotional regulation, nervous system healing, and trauma recovery. Whether you’re a yoga teacher looking to deepen your skillset, or a wellness practitioner supporting clients through stress, anxiety, or burnout — this training will empower you with science-backed techniques and ancient wisdom.

You’ll leave not only with confidence in guiding breath and meditation sessions, but with a renewed relationship to your own inner calm.

What You’ll Learn:

Part 1: Pranayama for Mental Wellbeing

  • The energetics of breath and its impact on the nervous system

  • Subtle body anatomy, including prana, nadis, and koshas

  • Practical training in: Nadi Shodhana, Bhastrika, Samavritti, Ujjayi, Sheetali, and more

  • How to match pranayama techniques to emotional and mental states

  • Understanding the doshas and gunas in relation to mental health

Part 2: Meditation for Mental Wellbeing

  • Meditation theory, history, and the science behind its mental health benefits

  • A toolkit of 16+ meditation styles from yoga, Buddhism, and mindfulness-based practices

  • Techniques include: Yoga Nidra, Metta, Mantra (internal and external), Chakra Visualizations, Future Self Meditation, Body Scan, and RAIN

  • How to select practices based on trauma, anxiety, depression, and client needs

  • Guidance on leading your own meditation workshops and sessions with confidence

Why Join Us in Bali?

Bali’s serene natural beauty, spiritual energy, and healing environment make it the perfect place to dive deep into breath and meditation. You’ll be immersed in daily practice, surrounded by community, and held in a supportive space that allows real transformation to occur — for yourself and those you serve.

Asana Adjustment & Assists 50 Hour YTT

September 11–18, 2025 | Bali, Indonesia
Elevate your teaching. Deepen your touch. Empower your students.

Many yoga teachers complete their 200-Hour Training with a strong foundation in asana, yet still feel unsure about offering safe, effective hands-on assists. This module is designed to bridge that gap and cultivate true confidence in physical adjustments — with a focus on both alignment and energetic connection.

In this 50-Hour Advanced YTT Module, participants will explore the art and ethics of touch, deepen their understanding of anatomical alignment, and develop practical skills for adjusting students in a variety of postures. Whether you're looking to refine your teaching or create deeper impact in your classes, this training will help you step into the role of a more intuitive, attentive, and skillful teacher.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Principles of safe and trauma-informed touch

  • When and how to offer physical adjustments versus verbal cues

  • Ethics and boundaries around consent in hands-on work

  • Partner work to practice and receive adjustments

  • Key anatomical landmarks for safe alignment

  • Hands-on assists across all major pose categories:

    • Standing: open, closed, and neutral hip positions

    • Forward folds and seated poses

    • Twists and backbends

    • Arm balances and inversions

    • Restorative and Savasana touch techniques

This module is rooted in respect, presence, and precision — helping teachers learn not just how to assist, but how to truly support each student on their mat.

Dates: September 11–18, 2025

Yoga Sutra Study: 100 Hour Online Course

The Yoga Sutra Study course is an advanced yoga philosophy program. The first chapter of the Yoga Sutras defines yoga, the aim of practice, and the various problems that will come along the way as we work towards the state of yoga. In this course, we look at our identity separating from our thoughts, and discover the reasons why we do meditation and what we gain from meditation. In book two Patanjali explains how to attain the goal of Samadhi. This book explains the mind, suffering, and how to live a yoga lifestyle.  Patanjali explains the three paths of practice that The Bhagavad Gita teaches. Patanjali says we can use our Body/Karma/Action, our Mind/Jnana/Alignment, and our Heart/Bhakti/attitude. Book two also introduces us to the first five of the eight limbs of yoga, and gives us an opportunity to put them into practice. 

 

Chapters three and four of the sutras are more advanced. Chapter three runs from 3.1 - 3.55 . This chapter focuses on the supernatural abilities (siddhis) gained from the practice of samyama. This Module is primarily about practicing samyama, the “perfect discipline” in which the yogi directs the mind into dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation), and samadhi (complete union) with a single object of focus. These are the final three limbs of Ashtanga (8-limbed) yoga, and they concentrate the energy of consciousness. In the last chapter we study, we'll learn about the forces of nature (gunas) and how to move past the limitations of time and space. We'll learn about yoga’s goal - a continuously unfolding process of self-knowledge and that this will lead to moksha, liberation. 

 

Taking the Yoga Sutra Study course will not only enhance your mental health but it will support you in teaching thoughtful classes with intention, and wisdom from yoga philosophy.

Yoga Entrepreneurship 50 Hour Online Course

In 2019, I started building my online yoga business, The Mindful Life Practice. During that time, I developed so much knowledge about how to create a niche, reach my ideal customers, connect and build a relationship, and develop my revenue streams so that I made more money as a yoga teacher than I did as a school teacher - and I could quit my job and do this full time. This is one of the key practical skills I feel is missing from most modern yoga teacher trainings - the business side of things. In this six month online program, I will give you all the practical skills to develop your business - while meeting online with you regularly in a group setting to develop these skills.

Haley, Arizona

"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."
