Our Methodology

How we recommend schools, what "YTTinBali Choice" means, and why you can trust the order you see on YTTinBali.

How We Recommend Schools

Choosing a yoga teacher training program is a significant investment of time, money, and trust. We believe you deserve to see the most credible schools first.

We analyze publicly available student reviews across the platforms that matter most for yoga teacher training decisions — Google, Yoga Alliance, and Instagram — alongside supporting signals from Facebook, Tripadvisor, and Tripaneer. Schools with stronger independent reviews, verified accreditation, and longer track records appear higher in our listings.

Every piece of data we use is publicly available, so you can verify it yourself.

✓

No Paid Rankings

Listing order is determined entirely by publicly verifiable data. Schools cannot pay for higher placement. Every piece of data we use is available on third-party review platforms, so you can verify it yourself.

⭐ YTTinBali Choice

What "YTTinBali Choice" Means

Schools that earn this badge have demonstrated exceptional credibility across multiple independent review platforms.

⭐

Strong Student Reviews

Consistently high ratings from real students on Google and Yoga Alliance, the platforms where verified trainee reviews actually live.

📊

High Review Volume

A significant number of reviews indicating sustained student engagement over time.

🏛

Verified Credentials

Yoga Alliance certification and established presence on major review platforms.

📅

Proven Track Record

Years of operation demonstrating stability and consistent quality.

Schools that don't carry the YTTinBali Choice badge are not lesser schools — they may be newer, or simply have fewer reviews so far. Every school listed on YTTinBali has been verified as a legitimate yoga teacher training provider.

What We Analyze

We look at 9 data points across 4 independent review platforms to determine listing order and YTTinBali Choice status.

Google Rating

High Impact

The average star rating from Google Reviews.

Google is the largest review platform globally and the first place most students check.

Google Reviews

High Impact

Total number of reviews on Google.

A healthy volume of reviews indicates sustained student engagement and is hard to fake at scale.

Yoga Alliance Rating

High Impact

The average rating from Yoga Alliance trainee reviews.

Yoga Alliance reviews come from actual graduates who complete training before registering as RYTs. Independently verified.

Yoga Alliance Reviews

High Impact

Total number of Yoga Alliance trainee reviews.

The gold-standard signal of real student throughput — every review ties to a verified RYT registration.

Years on Yoga Alliance

High Impact

How long the school has been continuously registered with YA.

Verified tenure with an independent accreditation body, separate from self-reported founding year.

Instagram Followers

High Impact

The audience size the school has built on Instagram.

Audience size reflects reach and community engagement — the primary platform YTT prospects browse when deciding.

Instagram Posts

High Impact

Total number of posts published on Instagram.

Posting volume signals an active, consistently present school rather than a dormant or fly-by-night operation.

Years in Business

Supporting Factor

How long the school has been operating (self-reported).

Longevity demonstrates stability. Complemented by the independently verified YA tenure signal above.

Tripadvisor Rating

Supporting Factor

The average rating on Tripadvisor.

Useful corroboration but weighted lightly — Tripadvisor reviewers are usually retreat tourists, not YTT trainees.

Tripadvisor Reviews

Supporting Factor

Total number of Tripadvisor reviews.

Indicates wider travel-industry visibility.

Facebook Rating

Supporting Factor

The recommendation percentage on Facebook.

Facebook page reviews are being deprecated by Meta and weighted accordingly.

Facebook Reviews

Supporting Factor

Total number of Facebook recommendations.

Legacy social-proof signal, useful when available but not decisive.

Tripaneer Rating

Supporting Factor

The average rating on Tripaneer.

Commercial marketplace presence — we treat it as a minor corroborating signal, not a core credibility metric.

Tripaneer Reviews

Supporting Factor

Total number of reviews on Tripaneer.

Marketplace review volume — capped to prevent over-weighting of paid-listing platforms.

For School Owners

We believe every school has unique strengths. Our methodology highlights credibility through real student experiences — not editorial opinion.

The best way to improve your visibility on YTTinBali is to deliver excellent training experiences that lead to genuine positive reviews. Schools that consistently earn strong reviews across multiple platforms will naturally rise in our listings and earn YTTinBali Choice recognition.

💬 Encourage Reviews

Ask graduates to submit their Yoga Alliance review (required before they register as RYTs anyway) and leave a Google review. These two platforms carry the most weight.

🏷 Get Certified

Yoga Alliance certification adds credibility and signals to students that your program meets recognized standards.
