Six Days of Singing Bowl Training in Bali: Schedule, Modules and What Graduates Say

Why Learn Singing Bowls in Bali?

Learning singing bowls is not only about technique. It is about listening: hearing the subtle changes in a sound, and noticing how your own body and emotions respond. That is hard to develop when you rush to class after work and go straight back to a stream of messages afterwards.

This is why we teach in an immersive format. For 6 days and 5 nights, students step away from familiar surroundings and stay at Grün Uluwatu in Bali. Set in lush forest, it has treehouse rooms, a quiet meditation space and a sauna, far from traffic and noise. Each day begins with morning practice and ends with an evening walk and personal practice, so learning and living are no longer split in two.

When life gets quiet, the ears truly open.

Private transfers are arranged from the moment you land until you fly home, so you can focus fully on learning.

Who You Learn With: Raj Guru from Nepal

The training is taught by Raj Guru, a teacher from Nepal. He holds E-RYT 500, Yoga Alliance’s highest teaching credential, and has been immersed in yoga and meditation since 2008. His teaching draws on several lineages and is shaped throughout by a deep love and respect for Eastern philosophy.

His teaching starts from the body: through breath and meditation, he guides awareness inward and treats the body as a bridge to energy and awareness. Many students say that Raj Guru’s own calm and steadiness is part of the course.

Our founder, Chi, is also on site throughout. She is a YACEP-certified singing bowl sound healing and meditation instructor who has studied traditional healing philosophy and the wisdom of sound in the Himalayas of Nepal, and she helps students connect the teachings with their own practice and background.

What Do the 6 Days Look Like?

Day 1: Arrival and welcome

A private transfer brings you to Grün Uluwatu. Check-in opens from 2 PM, and everyone is settled into their rooms by 4 PM. In the evening, the group shares a welcome dinner to prepare for the days ahead.

Days 2–5: Training days

A typical training day looks like this:

• 06:30–07:00 | Morning ritual: Ushapan (warm water), Jala Neti (nasal cleansing) and herbal tea
• 07:00–08:00 | Hatha yoga flow
• 08:00–09:00 | Breakfast
• 09:30–12:00 | Sound healing session (theory and practice)
• 12:00–14:00 | Lunch and rest
• 14:30–17:00 | Sound healing session (theory and practice)
• 18:00–19:00 | Dinner
• 20:30–21:00 | Evening walk, Vajrasana, personal study and practice

There is a sound healing session every morning and afternoon, combining theory and practice. All meals are organic detox meals, so the body also settles into a light, steady state.

Day 6: Closing ceremony

On the final day, the group comes together for a closing ceremony full of gratitude and awareness. The course ends at 11 AM, marking the completion of an inner journey and the start of a new chapter.

What Do You Learn in 6 Days?

The training has two levels. Both follow the same length and daily rhythm, but the content is different:

• Level 1: a complete foundation, covering the elements of sound and musical structure, the traditional practice systems of Nada Yoga and Nada Chikitsa, chakra and energy field theory, case studies on the psychological and physical levels, and ten core practice themes.
• Level 2: requires Level 1 and goes deeper into the science of sound and music theory, the history of sound healing and meditation, traditional chanting, choosing bowls for different purposes, and eleven practice themes in Himalayan sound healing.

We cover the full outline of both levels, and how they differ, in How to Become a Sound Healer: Singing Bowl Certification, Training and Learning Path. Students who attend at least 95% of each level receive a 20-hour Yoga Alliance YACEP certificate.

Three Graduates, Three Different Takeaways

People come to the training from very different backgrounds, and they take home different things. Here is what three past graduates shared.

Wati | SME owner, Indonesia

Before this training, Wati had already taken two singing bowl courses, both taught by the “students of Raj Guru’s students”. This time, she finally learned from the teacher himself.

It was truly an honor to finally learn directly from Raj Guru himself. What he shared was far beyond technique; it was a transmission of inner peace and Himalayan wisdom.

Jessica | Yoga teacher, Australia

Jessica’s goal at first was practical: as a yoga teacher, she wanted to add another qualification. But the six days gave her more than a certificate.

Learning isn’t just about ‘becoming someone,’ it’s about returning to yourself.

Pei | Corporate executive, Taiwan

Pei is a corporate executive who had already completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training and had been looking for balance outside work, and for a new way to continue her healing studies.

The training wasn’t just about learning how to play singing bowls; it was a deep dive into healing philosophy.

Some came for their profession, some came for themselves, and all of them left with a quieter kind of strength.

Level 1 or Level 2? How to Choose

• Studying singing bowls in a structured way for the first time: start with Level 1. Even if you have taken other singing bowl courses, Level 1 fills in the full body of theory and practice.
• Already completed Level 1: you can join Level 2 and go deeper into the science of sound, music theory and advanced practice.
