UBUD BALI

100hr Advanced Teacher Immersion in Bali

Join us in Ubud, the spiritual heart of Bali for 9 nourishing nights of deep practice, embodied learning, rest, and reconnection.

This immersive experience is designed for yoga teachers craving depth and devoted yoga students ready to awaken more fully to the wisdom of yoga.

Whether you're looking to refine your teaching, return to your practice, or simply immerse yourself in a space of deep learning—this retreat offers a potent blend of advanced education, daily practice, Balinese magic, and time to soften into yourself.

WHAT PAST GRADUATES ARE SAYING

Some teachers guide you. Others change the course of your life.

Rach and Heidi did that for me.

Through practicing with them in person, immersing in their 10-day Bali retreat, and learning inside their online portal, I didn’t just grow as a yoga teacher — I found my voice and purpose.

They embody yoga in a way that is real, grounded, and deeply heartfelt. Not just sequences, but wisdom. Not just movement, but meaning. They showed me how to weave meditation and philosophy into flow in a way that feels authentic and alive.

The transformation has been profound. My confidence has expanded, my teaching feels aligned, and the ripple effect is visible — my classes have grown significantly in the past months, and my students consistently reflect back the depth, bliss, and wholeness they experience.

That foundation began with Rach and Heidi.

I am deeply grateful for their mentorship, their professionalism, and the heart they pour into everything they share.

Heidi Trigar

Teaching yoga for Heidi was an effortless transition from dance,

as moving her body and watching other bodies move had been a huge part of her life for over 35 years.

Although the loud cry of the yoga mat called her initially, soon the exploration of the subtle realms would hold a more prominent place in her yoga practice and in her teachings. Having trained with master teachers Sarah Powers, Rod Stryker, Lorin Roche, Christopher Hareesh Wallis, not to mention countless mentors over many years of practice and teaching yoga, Heidi has a wealth of embodied knowledge and wisdom to share.

Heidi has a unique and powerful way of weaving mythology, philosophy and mantra into her public classes, workshops, retreats and trainings, making it relatable to modern minds and hearts. She has developed a style of teaching that is truly unique, emotive, memorable and meaningful.

As a trainer of yoga teachers, Heidi creates a transformative space where students are invited to explore deeply, gain confidence & wisdom, and uncover the authenticity of the Acharya within.

With a deep reverence for the traditions of Bhakti and Jnana Yoga, she skillfully bridges ancient spiritual teachings with the contemporary world, making the practice both accessible and open to every unique interpretation.
