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.

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.
