Looking for the best yoga teacher training in Bali? I’ve compared top 200- and 300-hour YTTs, including styles, costs, and what’s included.
It’s no secret that I’m a yoga enthusiast. It’s been a part of my daily routine for 6+ years. After my first year of practicing yoga, I felt ready to take it up a notch with a 200-hour yoga teacher training course. But I admit, choosing the right course was overwhelming. So having struggled myself, I created this guide to help those looking to complete their yoga teacher training in Bali. This is a shortlist of yoga teacher training (YTT) courses in Bali that are worth your investment.
I handpicked them based on the curricula they offer, and what’s included in the fees. But first, let’s take a look at the YTT terms you’ll want to be familiar with before you take the plunge.
RYS or RYT? Here’s the Yoga Alliance terms you need to know
Yoga Alliance is the representative of the global yoga community. It ensures that teachers are qualified to teach safely by setting competency standards. A yoga school can choose to register with Yoga Alliance and become a “Registered Yoga School” or “RYS”. A RYS teaches a yoga teacher training curriculum which is approved by Yoga Alliance. FYI, the schools below are all Yoga Alliance-accredited Registered Yoga Schools.
Only those who have completed a yoga teacher training course at a RYS are eligible to register with Yoga Alliance. They will then be able to register with Yoga Alliance a “Registered Yoga Teacher” or “RYT”. This could be important for those who want to teach professionally, as some yoga studios and retreats require the teacher to be RYT-certified.
200 vs 300-hour yoga teacher training courses
Ever wondered if yoga teacher training is only for advanced yogis? Well that depends! A 200-hour yoga teacher training has no prerequisite; it’s meant for everyone who wants to advance their yoga knowledge. However, it is advisable that you already have established a regular personal yoga practice. You’ll need to complete at least a 200-hour training to qualify as a yoga teacher.
You can think of a 300-hour yoga teacher training, as an advanced training. Only those who have completed a 200-hour training can enrol in 300-hour trainings. They are usually those who want to lead their own retreats. But fret not yoga junkies. If you just can’t get enough of yoga after your 200-hour training, you can also take a 300-hour training for your personal yoga journey. Some schools offer a 500-hour yoga teacher training, which is a combination of the 200- and 300-hour trainings.
Additionally, there are yoga schools offering 50- to 100-hour training programs. These courses are held at schools with a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider (“YACEP”) certification. These shorter programs aim at those looking for personal development, learning special skills, or RYTs who want to add Continuing Education hours to their registration.

BONUS: Yoga Teacher Training FAQs
How long should you practice yoga before joining a teacher training?
There is no official pre-requisite for a 200-hour yoga teacher training. Yoga schools usually recommend having practiced for at least a year with knowledge of common yoga poses, like downward facing dog and child’s pose. This is to help you focus on other parts of the course, such as philosophy, anatomy, teaching methods and more.
Is yoga teacher training hard?
Yoga Teacher Training is not necessarily hard, but you do have to put in the energy and time. If you love yoga, you’ll enjoy every step of your training, lifelong friendship over a shared passion. All of this makes the effort worthwhile.
