Chris is one of those teachers whose energy stays with you long after the class ends — his honesty, openness, and curiosity create a space where everyone feels welcome and inspired. After completing my teacher training at The Yoga Barn, I traveled from Poland back to Bali just to attend his regular classes. That probably says more than any testimonial ever could.

The Walker Way

"I teach my way so you can walk yours."

When I became a teacher, I looked around and saw no one who looked or sounded like me. So I had a choice: imitate, or find my own voice and trust it was enough.


Choosing myself became the foundation of everything. Now, through this training, my intention isn't to create followers — it's to support you in walking your way. Teaching your way. Living your way.

What You'll Develop

Ancient wisdom.
Modern life.
Your voice.

Rooted in the lineage of Krishnamacharya and shaped by studies with teachers such as Janet Stone, Bernie Clark and Mark Whitwell — and years of real-world teaching across five continents — this training weaves sacred tradition into the practitioner's modern life. No performance. No imitation. Pure presence.

Two Locations. One Journey.

Bali as your
classroom.

No training has ever combined these two iconic spaces. The jungle and the ocean. The sacred and the elemental. Both are part of the curriculum — not just the backdrop.

The Yoga Barn Ubud Bali

Week 1 – 2 · Ubud, Bali

The Yoga Barn

The world's most iconic yoga venue. Immersed in the sacred jungle of Ubud, where practice feels like prayer.

First Ever Dual Program
Uluwatu Ocean Bali

Week 3 · Uluwatu, Bali

Uluwatu

Cliffside practice above the Indian Ocean. Where breath meets horizon and the elements become your teacher.

Inside the Training

This is what it
actually looks like.

Not a lecture hall. Not a factory. A circle of dedicated practitioners, learning to teach by first learning to be present — with themselves and each other.

What You Study

A complete foundation
for an authentic teacher.

I
Yoga Philosophy
Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, the Bhagavad Gita, and the eight limbs brought into your daily life — not just your practice.
II
Vinyasa Sequencing
Peak pose theory, thematic architecture, and breath-led flow. Build classes that move students from the inside out.
III
Pranayama
The science and art of breath. From foundational techniques to advanced practices that transform the nervous system.
IV
Anatomy & Alignment
Applied anatomy for real bodies in real postures. Move students safely without turning yoga into physical therapy.
V
Teaching Practicum
Daily teaching, cueing workshops, feedback circles, and hands-on adjustment methodology. You leave ready to teach.
VI
Personal Practice
Morning sadhana, evening reflection, and immersive sessions with Chris. This is the foundation everything else rests on.

Georgina Streule

“Chris has honestly been the best teacher I could've wished for, not only for my physical practice but off the mat too. He helped me get out of my comfort zone and confront my biggest fear, speaking in front of others, which had held me back from teaching. Now I've finally been able to teach yoga and feel like I've unlocked my truest potential and let go of my fears.”

Georgina Streule

I also find it courageous and incredibly important that you open yourself up to a broad audience and help individuals become more open, recognised, valued and authentic.”
