Self Inquiry: The challenging nature of our courses offers the opportunity for optimum growth and transformation, most importantly, is that the process of self inquiry is understood. We expect that students enrolling for any of our trainings have an understanding of the essence of Yoga beyond the techniques.

Our objective in this training is to encourage awareness of how the tools and techniques of yoga can bring about inner transformation. This process of change is not always comfortable.

Visa Information: Please choose ‘tourist visa’ as ‘type of visa’ as Yoga Arts is not affiliated with any one particular training school in Bali. Visas are obtainable on entry to Bali, for passport holders of most countries for 30 days. If you wish to stay longer than 30 days, you are now able to extend your visa, in Bali, for an extra 30 days while you are in Bali.

If you are unsure whether your country of residence is permitted to obtain a visa on entry to Bali, please make your own inquiries with your travel agent in plenty of time before you leave.

NOTE: students will need a 60 day visa for this training. You can organize your 60 day visa before leaving or you can get 30 days on entry (most countries) and another 30 days extension while you are there.

Please check your passport date. You must have six months validity remaining on your passport from the date of your return from Bali.

We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you in Bali for the level 2 training.
