Yoga Teacher Training Schools in Bali

Short answer

This is a plain, alphabetical list of yoga teacher training schools that operate in Bali, mainly around Ubud, Canggu and Nusa Lembongan. This catalog details each school's primary teaching location, the lineage of yoga taught, the total duration of the course, and its Yoga Alliance registration status alongside approximate pricing. It is a reference list, not a ranking or recommendation.

How this list was compiled

We searched for yoga teacher training providers physically based in Bali, then checked each school's own website for program details — location, style, hours, and price. Where a school's Yoga Alliance status could be confirmed on the Yoga Alliance directory or clearly stated on the school's site, we noted it; otherwise the field reads "Unverified," which means we could not confirm it, not that the school lacks it. Prices change constantly with season, room type and group size, so we list "See website" wherever a school does not publish a fixed, current figure. This page is a starting point for your own research, not a verified comparison engine, and it is not sponsored by any school listed.

What the columns mean

Location is the town or area in Bali where the training is physically held — Ubud remains the dominant hub, with Canggu and the surrounding islands (such as Nusa Lembongan) also hosting programs. Style describes the main lineage or approach taught, such as Vinyasa, Hatha, or a multi-style curriculum. Hours refers to the Yoga Alliance hour tier — 200, 300 or 500 — which maps to RYT-200, the advanced RYT-300 add-on, and the combined RYT-500 credential. Yoga Alliance indicates whether the school is a Registered Yoga School (RYS) under Yoga Alliance, which is a private, voluntary registry rather than a government accreditation or a guarantee of teaching quality. Price is the school's own published starting figure for the listed program, usually for a shared room; private rooms, flights, insurance and visa costs are typically extra.

What to ask before booking

Before you commit a deposit, ask the school directly: Who teaches the anatomy and philosophy modules, and what are their credentials? What is the maximum class size, and how many lead teachers versus assistants are on the floor? Is accommodation included in the quoted price, and is it air-conditioned (Bali's humidity makes this a real comfort factor, not a luxury)? What is the refund and rescheduling policy if you need to cancel? Can the school put you in touch with two or three recent graduates who are not featured in their marketing? Finally, confirm exactly which Yoga Alliance designation (RYS 200, 300 or 500) the specific cohort you're booking is registered under — schools sometimes run both registered and non-registered variants of the same training.

Local context: training in Bali

Bali's yoga teacher training market is large, mature and highly competitive, concentrated in Ubud's rice-field studios and increasingly in Canggu's surf-town scene, with smaller island outposts like Nusa Lembongan offering a quieter alternative. The sheer number of schools — dozens run 200-hour cohorts in any given month — means marketing claims (star ratings, "best of" lists, bundled discounts) are common and not independently verified by us or usually by anyone else. Indonesia requires a valid visa for any paid or unpaid training stay beyond a short tourist visit; check current visa rules for your nationality directly with Indonesian immigration before booking, since requirements change and schools' own visa guidance is not a substitute for official sources. Wet season (roughly November to March) can affect outdoor practice spaces and travel between areas, which is worth factoring into which month you choose.

Inclusion is not endorsement

Appearing on this list does not mean thekriyayogi.com recommends, endorses or has vetted any school's teaching quality, safety practices or business conduct. We have not visited these schools, sat in on their trainings, or interviewed their graduates. Facts such as prices, instructors, schedules and even Yoga Alliance status can and do change after publication — always verify current details directly with the school and, where relevant, on Yoga Alliance's own directory before paying any deposit.

A note on sourcing

Where we quote a price, hours figure or Yoga Alliance status, it comes from the school's own website or the Yoga Alliance public directory, not from third-party review aggregators, which can be inconsistent or commercially incentivized. If a school's site conflicted with other information we found, we deferred to the school's own current page. If you find an error here, or you run a school that should be added or corrected, treat this as a living reference: facts drift, and the responsibility to confirm them before booking sits with the prospective student.

Questions people ask

+ Is Yoga Alliance registration required to teach yoga?
No. Yoga Alliance is a private, voluntary US-founded registry, not a government license. Many studios worldwide hire teachers without an RYT credential, though some employers and insurers do ask for it.
+ How much does a 200-hour YTT in Bali typically cost?
Published starting prices for 200-hour programs in Bali commonly range from roughly $1,200 to $3,500, depending on accommodation tier, school reputation and season. Always confirm the current figure and what it includes directly with the school.
+ Do I need a visa to do a teacher training in Bali?
Most training stays exceed a basic short-term tourist entry, so check Indonesia's current visa requirements for your nationality with official immigration sources before you book, since schools' own visa guidance may be outdated.
+ Are these schools ranked by quality in this list?
No. The list is alphabetical and includes only factual details we could find on each school's own site. We do not rank, rate or endorse any school.
+ What is the difference between 200, 300 and 500-hour trainings?
Foundational training usually starts at the 200-hour level; a 300-hour course serves as advanced continuing education for those already certified, and the 500-hour mark represents the combined total of both programs for experienced instructors.
