200 Hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Trainings

As Mewali means you’re welcome, welcome home, and welcome back in the Balinese Language, Mewali Movement Yoga Teacher Trainings strive to make sure you feel at home during your month-immersion studies. Our company is based out of Bali, but we welcome you to our other Island Home, Minocqua Island City Wisconsin. Mewali Movement prioritizes the yoga classes, lectures, and discussions led to make sure they are a comfortable and safe space to practice in, just as a home should be. Our teachers demonstrate an incredible somatic knowledge as well as intuitive, flexible energy in each service led, making Mewali Movement Trainings available and welcoming to anyone.

Mewali’s teachings emphasize the purity and authenticity of ancient yoga philosophy yet are complimented by modern anatomical physiology. While maintaining strong foundational ties deep in Balinese Culture and Lifestyle, Mewali Movement is internationally recognized for its exquisite combination of anatomical alignment and creative sequencing— constructing well-thought out flows to open the body in the safest, most efficient, and most effective way, adjusting and teaching correct body positioning and body alignment during every session, while still blending poses together and transitioning the flow of the class in a way that feels like a choreographed dance.

Mewali Movement’s main goal is to continue to inspire individuals to find and follow What Moves You?™ through the Art of Movement. We openly welcome you on the deepest journey of the self for others this upcoming September, or October in Bali!

Month Immersion in Minocqua

There is just something words can’t quite describe about the Lakes in Northern Wisconsin. Crystal Clear blue waters surrounded by the greenest lawns and trees, with scents of fresh pine and lit grills. This unique Yoga Teacher Training uses nature’s most beautiful elements to bring you a month of tranquility yet adventure as well as uses uplifting group energy to both inspire, grow, laugh, and create forever friendships. Minocqua is known as Island City! Rich in cultural tradition, beautiful lakes, and lots of vacation vibes, this unique island is a place of healing, love, and good vibrations.

COMPLIMENTARY Minocqua ACTIVITIES

Mewali Movement focuses on in-classroom education, yet we equally recognize the benefits of out-of-classroom teachings. Blessed to be doing a yoga teacher training in Minocqua, we are happy to leave the studio space for times to be enriched by the Lake Life surrounding us. We will watch the World’s Longest Running Amateur Water Ski Show Team in the world, the Min-Aqua Bats; we will also have Water Ski Lessons, a SUP Morning Meditation, a SUP Sunset Yoga Class, and a Pontoon Cruise on the Famous Chain of Lakes. You will have all of your free time to kayak, SUP, canoe, fish, swim, and relax by the water. We will also provide a complimentary massage from the finest in the area, a mandala painting workshop with a local artist, a Kirtan with a local music group, Acro-Yoga Workshop, 6-Pack Yoga Class, and even a special event in a local Cranberry Bog!

Connecting Back to Bali

Held in the beautiful Island City (Minocqua, WI) we still incorporate our Bali Island vibes to the Training schedule, ideals, and intentions. Mewali Movement blends Balinese culture, traditions, and even ceremonies in the Minocqua course, further complimenting the full course experience! Our team highly values the Balinese Culture, as our company name is even rooted in Balinese Language. Those traditions make our training unique to other intensive yoga teacher training courses around the world! We begin the training with a traditional Balinese Ceremony; at the Welcome Ceremony, Mewali Movement provides a complimentary Welcome Package from our sister company, Mewali Boutique, to each trainee. In here, you can find handmade Balinese goods, aromatherapy products, vouchers for local restaurants and spas, as well as numerous gifts for you! In the midst of the training, we will also celebrate a Balinese Full Moon Ceremony to set new intentions, among much more Balinese surprises and blessings throughout this month-long course.
