Join Mark & Deepika for four transformative weeks of practice, study, and integration in Bali.
This immersive 100-hour program is designed for dedicated practitioners and teachers who wish to deepen their understanding of the Ashtanga system, refine their technique, and explore complementary approaches to movement, anatomy, philosophy, and restorative practices.
Each week combines the traditional Mysore-style practice with afternoon workshops and a focused study module taught by expert faculty. You can attend one, two, three, or commit to the full program to receive a Certificate of Completion.

Afternoon Workshops
Each week includes three themed afternoon workshops, designed to complement and expand your morning practice. These sessions are two hours long and allow us to explore technical, philosophical, and creative aspects of yoga and movement in more depth.
Workshop A
(Week 1: Body Awareness & Philosophy / Week 2: Alignment & Breath)
We begin with explorations of body awareness, biomechanics, and breath, creating a felt sense of how the body and mind interact in practice. Philosophy talks connect your personal experience with timeless teachings, before closing with guided relaxation. In the second week, the focus shifts to biomechanics and detailed alignment breakdowns of key postures, always contextualized through the lens of philosophy and lived practice.
Workshop B
(Week 1: Backbend Blueprint / Week 2: Hips & Hamstrings Protocol)
In week one we introduce the Backbend Blueprint: a step-by-step approach to understanding prerequisites, preparing joints, and building both strength and openness for sustainable backbends.
In week two, the focus shifts to a comprehensive hips and hamstrings protocol. This sequence directly supports some of the most challenging postures in the Mysore practice — such as lotus variations, deep forward bends, and leg-behind-head poses. By systematically opening the hips
and lengthening the hamstrings, students gain the mobility, stability, and confidence needed to approach these demanding asanas safely and progressively.
Workshop C
(Week 1: Movement & Handstands / Week 2: Movement, Transitions & Handstands)
This workshop brings in movement practices to expand your range beyond traditional asana. Week one begins with primal movement patterns, coordinations, and playful partner games to build body
intelligence, followed by a focused handstand session.
In week two, we explore jump-through
progressions and arm balances, again closing with dedicated handstand practice. These sessions combine play, skill-building, and technical refinement, helping you build strength, coordination, and confidence in challenging transitions and inversions.
Closing
By the end of the two weeks, you’ll not only feel stronger, more open, and more confident in your practice, but you’ll also carry with you insights and tools that extend far beyond the mat. Set in the lush and peaceful environment of Bali, the intensive offers the perfect backdrop for deep focus, self-discovery, and renewal. Alongside daily practice and workshops, you’ll share the journey with a supportive community of practitioners from around the world, creating connections and memories that last well beyond the course. Our aim is that you leave not only with a more grounded and inspired practice, but also with a sense of balance, joy, and possibility to carry into your everyday life.
