New to hot yoga?
What is Bikram Hot Yoga and why is it so popular?
A fixed sequence of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises, practised for 90 minutes in a heated room. Every class follows the same order and the same spoken dialogue, so students can measure their progress class by class, and the heat helps the body move deeper into each posture.
New to all of this? You do not need to know any of this before you enrol. We teach you both.
- 26postures
- 2breathing exercises
- 90minutes per class
- 40°Cheated room
Before you arrive

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Have more questions?
Fill out our quick enrolment form for a swift, personal response. We are here to guide you on your yoga journey.
What is a hybrid yoga teacher training?
A training that splits the syllabus: theory online at home, then a supervised in-person intensive for practice and teaching. At YogaFX, that intensive is the 6-day MasterClass in Bali.
How long is the in-person part?
6 days, from Sunday check-in to Friday graduation. Most students need only five days off work.
Do I have to complete the online pre-course?
Yes. It is required for all MasterClass students, and access starts as soon as you enrol.
Do six days equal 200 hours?
No. The 200 hours come from the complete hybrid programme: online preparation plus the in-person MasterClass.
Is there a rest day?
No. The MasterClass is intensive, with multiple heated 90-minute sessions every day.
Is the Hybrid MasterClass the same as the Online Teacher Training?
No. They are separate programmes with separate enrolment. Your Online Teacher Training fee is credited in full if you later join the MasterClass.
Is YogaFX a legitimate, accredited yoga teacher training?
Yes, YogaFX is a Yoga Alliance Registered School (RYS 200), the global gold standard for yoga teacher certification. Your RYT 200 credential is recognised by studios, gyms and retreat centres in every country. Mr. Ian Terry holds an E-RYT 500 with 12,000+ teaching hours and has graduated 1,500+ certified teachers across 80 countries since 2017.
What certifications will I receive, and are they recognised worldwide?
You receive two internationally recognised certifications at graduation: Yoga Alliance RYT 200 and Bikram Hot 26&2 Yoga Certification. Both are accepted by yoga studios, gyms and wellness centres worldwide.
Will I be automatically registered with Yoga Alliance?
No. You graduate with your certificates and then register with Yoga Alliance yourself as an RYT 200. We walk you through it.
Is YogaFX affiliated with Bikram Choudhury?
No. YogaFX is an independent school teaching the original 26&2 sequence and dialogue. It is not affiliated with Bikram Choudhury or Bikram’s Yoga College of India.
Do I need experience to join? I have never taught yoga before.
No. Beginners with a regular practice, existing teachers, and students who simply want to deepen their practice are all welcome.
How much does the training cost, and what is included?
The training starts from USD 1,999 (Early Bird USD 1,899, limited seats), with a USD 349 deposit to secure your place. Included are: 6 days of hands-on intensive training, two live classes per day with real students, 5 nights accommodation at D'Djabu Boutique Hotel in Seminyak, 50+ online pre-course lectures, the YogaFX 250-page lifetime yoga manual, a posture clinic workbook, the keyword dialogue guide, a sport bag and t-shirt, and both international certifications. No hidden fees.
Where is YogaFX based?
YogaFX International Yoga Teacher Training Academy is the Official Hot 26&2 Yoga Teacher Training Headquarters in Seminyak, Bali, Indonesia, with a second studio in Canggu. Every 6-day intensive is led in person by founder Mr. Ian Terry (E-RYT 500).
