I had a transformative journey and self-discovery from joining yoga teacher training at Blooming Lotus Yoga, Ubud, Bali. I would highly recommend to anyone, from beginner to advanced, who want to learn more about meditation & yoga techniques, explore yogic lifestyle, practice spirituality, and be gratitude for just being here. Thank you Lily, Mandy, and Ramananda for the knowledge, experience, light, love - sharing to us throughout the training. It is so valuable and absolutely worth my time, money, and energy! The extras are the luxury accommodation and impeccable services from hotel’s lovely staffs, which does help for especially beginner like me to hold space for myself and focus on yoga practicing. The community is amazing that i met a lot of beautiful and passionate yogis from all around the world. Hopefully I will be back again for another YTT at Blooming Lotus Yoga to keep practicing since they allow alumni to be back for free.

I have recently completed my Yoga training course in Bali at the Blooming Lotus Yoga School.

Words cannot describe the magic of this place, truly, it is such a special place. Once I came across Blooming Lotus, I looked no further. I knew I had to come here to experience this spiritual and holistic approach to Yoga that has forever changed my life.

The Blooming Lotus 200hr Yoga Training course is perfectly structured. The YTT integrates the authentic essence of yoga with a modern approach. It offers the foundations of Hatha, Vinyasa, Restorative / Yin, Pre & Post Natal Yoga, Yoga Nidra, breathwork and meditation in the most stunning tropical paradise. The 23-day course had 3 days off and allowed plenty of time to relax and explore the rich local culture.

Padma is excellent at swiftly answering emails, assisting with application process, and offering travel advice. The UbudCorner88 team are deeply caring, attentive, kind and made our stay enjoyable, comfortable and stress free. We got to enjoy delicious freshly cooked vegan meals prepared by a talented chef. Thank you to you all! The accommodation is modern, luxurious and spacious situated in peaceful and tranquil surroundings.

Most of all, I would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the wonderful Teachers – Lily, Ramananda and Mandy. It was such a privilege to be able to learn from you and simply be in your presence. You shared such a beautiful gift of love, kindness, light and wisdom with all of us. You radiate such beautiful energy and joy and thanks to you the last month has been the most transformative. You showed me a path to peace for which I will forever be grateful. This Yoga training course in Bali was so much more that I could have ever imagined. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Forever grateful, Klaudia

Blooming Lotus Yoga Instructor Training 200 hours
There are no words to truly express how deeply profound & transformative my yoga instructor training in Bali at Ubud Corner 88 was for me.
I took the 200 YTT in Feb/March 2023, having applied three years earlier, just before lockdown.
At the time, my hope was to deepen my own long term practice & to explore whether becoming a teacher was something I would like to pursue.
The location at Ubud Corner 88 is truly magical; the Goddess sings here in the deep green earth, peace runs like a river through the beautiful shala, the villas overlook the temples across the river, the bell calls you to meditation & practices.
Getting to meet my teachers in person after spending three years with the books & podcasts, felt like coming home. So much thought & energy has been put into creating the most beautiful spiritual container here, so that the students can completely devote themselves to exploring their practice.
If you are because you wish to teach asana, Mandy is the most incredible teacher, with such attention to detail & a very strong emphasis on safety. Asana workshops & practicing literally walk you through the steps to learning to teach safely & with confidence, & you are provided with a wealth of material & resources to guide you through sequencing & planning classes.
This is a training that focuses very much on the spiritual & energetic aspects of yoga in the Shri Vidya tradition; yoga as the path to enlightenment. This was the side that I found so deeply transformative; deep, deep morning meditation & workshops & mantra with Lily; joyful evening satsang with Ramananda, who spoke on everything from the Vedas to the different yoga traditions to the dish’s as - & at special request - devoted the evening session of the Full Moon to Vedic Astrology.
Ultimately - amongst so much more - I learned that becoming a Yoga teacher was not my path - instead I was inspired with a deep desire to study Shri Vidya & the Vedas further, to journey to India.
I can’t not mention the wonderful Blooming Lotus family who took such wonderful care of us in every way - Chef, Agung, Devi & her Dad, & everyone else - help with everything you could possibly need, the most glorious satvic vegan food the dishes at every meal, even the vegan takeaway goodie box they gave me at farewell (in case the airline messed up my vegan meal again).
Whatever your reasons for taking the Blooming Lotus YTT may be, I promise you won’t be disappointed, & that you will leave a different person once you have experienced this place, Mandy’s sweetness, Ramananda’s wisdom, & Lily’s light, & you will leave a little of yourself behind here forever.
In love & gratitude to you all, always - Namaste

As a first time traveller to Bali, Blooming lotus has make the booking and reception has been reassuring and welcoming. I anticipate a wonderful stay and hope to make the destination an annual treat.

I had a friend recommend Blooming Lotus to me, after a year of practicing yoga. I was looking for the perfect place to reset & rejoice, and she assured me that this was the exact place for that. Since I made the wonderful & daring decision of traveling to Bali & Singapore as a solo traveler, I have received nothing but kindness & extreme hospitality from the Blooming Lotus team. Arriving a day early, they eased all of my anxieties and offered for me to stay an extra night, as well as be picked up at the airport by a member of their team. The gratitude I have for them will only expand, as I look forward to spending my 7 day yoga retreat at such a warm and professional place like Blooming Lotus. I wouldn’t have been able to make that leap of faith, without the reassurance and kindness I received.

Great 4 day retreat here. The complex is brilliant, the food was delicious & the yoga classes were great.

I loved my time at Blooming Lotus Yoga. It is in a quiet area south of Ubud and the atmosphere is chilled and relaxed. The yoga sessions were great with a mix of breathing, meditation and yoga practice. The sequences were developed as the week went on and were delivered by 3 lovely instructors. Some people in the group, particularly the beginners/inexperienced, were a little frustrated by not being given much guidance in how to correctly hold a pose, but I understand from a reply to a previous review that the focus is more about spirituality and being in the moment than getting a pose ‘right’. However, my own experience is of getting more out of sessions with pointers on the positions. The food was vegan, fresh and always looked beautiful, but unfortunately to my taste was sometimes a bit bland. All in all, a fantastic experience though, and would recommend.

I have such gratitude for Blooming Lotus welcoming me into their community and YTT course. Lily, Ramananda and Mandy have created a truly holistic and balanced course, that meets the student where they are at on their journey.

I would highly recommend Blooming Lotus for YTT course ️
And I am limitlessly glad that I chose this school for my spiritual path.

The accommodation, food and location are all great and created the perfect atmosphere for immersing yourself in yoga.

I will definitely come back to feel your powerful energy

I will like to thank the entire team for an amazing 7-day retreat (15-21 Jan). No words can describe how amazing the entire experience has been and I know for sure that I will be back soon:)

The entire experience from the classes to the facilities and food and support from the concierge and team that took care of our daily needs was truly impeccable and I will definitely recommend to my friends and network Thank you for creating this program and experience and am sure there will be many more people in the coming future who will be as impacted as I was through your programs.

This is my first yoga retreat and I’m so glad that I choose Blooming Lotus. I really enjoyed my stay here. Ubud Corner 88 has a great/caring staff and great villa. The breakfast is awesome. The classes were great and all three yoga teachers did so well to bring out the positivity and peace in you. The overall experience exceeded my expectations. Pretty sure I will come back.

I loved my time here and it was such a lovely place, the staff were so attentive and there food was lovely (all vegan though). Yoga practice was good for all levels and I couldn’t fault Nana and Munan, great teachers. Also the villas were clean and spacious!

The Blooming Lotus Yoga Retreat blends flawlessly with its stress free environment. It was my pleasure to spend 7 days with such friendly, loving but all above inspiring yoga teachers who made sure that everyone’s yoga practice is accommodated and everyone is included. They are always available and open to all questions.
I developed a lot and can’t believe what I managed to do at the end of the week.
I enjoyed having delicious healthy, organic, locally grown vegetarian food.
I returned back home and reality feeling refreshed and committed to making this feeling of health and inner peace last.

I had an overall positive experience with Blooming Lotus retreat. The location is really beautiful, the rooms are clean, and the staff at Ubud Corner 88 are friendly and helpful. I enjoyed having multiple instructors as it allowed us to experience various styles and strengths. I appreciated the teachings about Balinese culture, yogi lifestyle, and hands-on corrections to my yoga practice. If you want a retreat that allows for a lot of free time then this will be a good fit for you. However, next time I will look for a retreat that offers more workshops, teachings, and guided reflection as I do feel that Blooming Lotus was lacking on that.

I spent two weeks at Blooming lotus.
Retreat is located on a very picturesque hill next to the river. I was really impressed by a very comfortable facility!
But of course people were the heart and soul of the place!
I enjoyed yoga sessions with amazing Balinese trainers - such beautiful and positive ladies! They created an amazing flow, which kept me going for two weeks!
Very friendly and caring staff!
Now back home, feeling so much rested and detoxed!
I’m coming to Blooming lotus again in a couple of months!

Wow, how quickly the body deteriorates as you approach 50. I’m going to use the excuse that as a business owner for the past 15 years I did not find the time to look after myself. I was shocked to find that I now grunted when I bent down to tie my shoes and how awkward it was to stand after sitting on the floor. I was looking for a way to improve my flexibility, mind set and generally treat myself when I stumbled across an ad for Blooming Lotus 7 Day Yoga Retreat.

I must admit to being a little anxious about being the only old girl in the group who last did very basic yoga 15+ years ago, however, the team at Blooming Lotus assured me that the retreat is for all capabilities – and it really was! There was a great mix of ages and skill levels, and the retreat was conducted in a way that it was very respectful and nurturing. The teachers are a fountain of knowledge and adapt their sessions to suit the group, providing background and context to what they are teaching and valuable alternatives to tasks dependent on your ability. The participants were from all over the world, all had their own reasons for being there and we became great mates with some of us still keeping in touch.

My private room was a great haven with an amazing bathroom which included a luxury shower and views of my outdoor bathtub courtyard. It also had a private terrace with scenic views. This room overlooked a pool and outdoor dining area which was shared with 2 other guest rooms which are at a lower price point and could be shared if on a budget. These villas are a great way to have privacy but at the same time get to know the others a little better.

The vegan diet was well planned, varied and delicious. This was my first week as a vegan and I feel my body was grateful for the experience, however, my Chicken Nasi Goreng when I left the retreat couldn’t have tasted better. I’ll certainly be incorporating some of the menu ideas in my daily routine.

As I had hoped it has taught me how to include many of these principles into my everyday life.even though I live in a remote area without classes nearby. A warning, there is hard work involved and in my case I went from doing nothing to 2 yoga sessions a day for a week which certainly gave my joints/ muscles a work out. But that is the result I was hoping to achieve and I left feeling alive and ready to take on the world again. I am so impressed that I hope to make this an annual treat. So go ahead and book, I have no doubt that it can have a similar effect for you.

Amazing experience
I’ve done the seven days retreat and it was just wonderful
I’m new to yoga and that was my very first retreat so I didn’t knew what to expect
But from the very first moment I felt at home
It was hard but not too hard
Demanding but not to demanding
Just the right amount of hard I would say
Both Teachers ware so good and professional
Food was great and the accommodation was by far the nicest place I’ve ever stayed at
I would definitely recommend it to anyone in any yoga level and I would most definitely come back for another retreat

I had a wonderful experience at Blooming Lotus in Bali. This marked the reset to my life that was so very needed. I was met at the retreat center with kind staff and gorgeous surroundings. From the first yoga class, I immediately felt at ease and cared for by Lily, Ramanada, and crew with the atmosphere they created, that was welcoming and encouraging. They created a safe space for us to voice any fears and always met me with kindness. They were accommodating when I got sick in the last week. I completed my yoga training in 2018 and I am still so close to many of the other students. It was a bonding experience like no other- and all I had to do was show up as myself- and I felt so loved. I am beyond grateful for these people and this experience. ️
