20 Best Yoga Teacher Training in Bali (2026–27 Guide)

Updated October 2026. Prices are indicative “from” rates and change often, so confirm current dates, inclusions and fees with each school before paying a deposit.

Bali has become one of the world’s favourite places to become a certified yoga teacher training. Warm weather all year, a culture built around daily ritual, all-inclusive packages and dozens of Yoga Alliance–registered programs make it easy to get started. That same abundance makes it hard to choose. A 200-hour yoga teacher training course in Ubud’s rice fields feels nothing like one beside a Canggu surf break, and two programs with the same headline price can end up hundreds of dollars apart once rooms, meals and payment fees are counted.

This guide is written to help you decide, not to push a single course. It covers 20 well-reviewed teacher trainings across Ubud, Canggu, Uluwatu, Sanur, Nusa Lembongan and North Bali, with the styles taught, group sizes, typical costs, what is usually included and who each program suits best. We start with Blooming Lotus Yoga in Ubud, then group the other 19 by area. Beyond the number one spot, the order is geographic, not a ranking.

What to check before you choose

• Accreditation. Look for a Registered Yoga School (RYS) listing with Yoga Alliance and verify it on their public directory. Graduates of a registered 200-hour program can register as RYT-200.
• The all-in price. Some schools quote tuition only, others include a room and meals. Add up accommodation, food, airport transfers and any card or PayPal fees to compare fairly.
• Group size and practice teaching. Confidence comes from teaching real people and being corrected. Ask how many students and how many teachers there are, and how many hours you will teach.
• Style and philosophy. Ashtanga-based, flowing Vinyasa, classical Hatha, therapeutic or spiritual: the label on the brochure shapes your daily schedule.
• Setting. Ubud is quiet and cultural, Canggu is social and surf-oriented, Uluwatu has cliffs and ocean views, and the islands are calm and slow.
• What happens after. Alumni access, mentoring, internships or free retakes can matter more than a welcome massage.

Why train in Bali

Bali pairs a supportive learning environment with a lifestyle that makes yoga feel natural. Most programs include accommodation and vegetarian meals, so you can focus on studying rather than logistics. You also train alongside students from dozens of countries, which gives you a global network from day one. Many schools add Balinese ceremonies, temple visits and beach days, so the course doubles as a cultural trip. And because the island has so many registered schools, there is a program for nearly every budget and personality.

1. Blooming Lotus Yoga – Ubud (our top pick)

Blooming Lotus Yoga is an award-winning retreat and school in Lodtunduh, about 15 minutes from central Ubud and an hour from Bali’s Denpasar airport. Founded by Lily Goncalves and rooted in the Sri Vidya lineage, it has taught in Ubud for more than ten years and has welcomed students from over 50 countries.

The course. The training awards 225 certified hours: a 200-hour Yoga Alliance–registered program plus an additional 25-hour meditation certification. You learn to teach Hatha, Vinyasa and Restorative/Yin classes, along with guided meditation and Yoga Nidra. The school has two stated goals: to give you a strong asana foundation, including 60+ postures, safe sequencing and variations for different levels, and to help you build a personal practice through pranayama, mudras, mantra and self-inquiry. The syllabus also draws on yogic philosophy, Vedanta, tantra, Ayurveda, chakras and bandhas.

Format and price. Courses run 21 or 23 days depending on the cohort, with a maximum of 18 students. Pricing starts from US$2,490 in a shared room and US$3,670 in a private room. That covers tuition, accommodation for the whole course, three meals a day on training days, airport pickup from Denpasar, a one-hour Balinese massage, a beach trip, three yoga manuals and two philosophy books. The school states there are no added fees, taxes or payment-processing charges.

Accreditation. Blooming Lotus Yoga is a Yoga Alliance RYS 200, E-RYT 500 and Continuing Education Provider (YACEP), and graduates are eligible to register as RYT-200. The school also says its teachers hold current Indonesian work permits.

The setting. Students stay in private or shared villas above the Wos River, facing a Balinese water temple. Each villa has a plunge pool, kitchen and living room. There is also a large outdoor pool, a yoga shala, a healing spa and the Amrita vegan restaurant.

Benefits that stand out.

• Free lifetime re-attendance: graduates may retake the training at no cost, for life.
• Open to beginner and intermediate practitioners, with no teaching experience required.
• Solo female travellers in shared rooms are placed only with other women, and a 24-hour front desk is on site.
• A portion of proceeds supports charities in Bali and rural India.
• Rated 4.9 on both Google and TripAdvisor, according to the school.

Keep in mind. Courses are taught in English, so you need a good command of the language. The approach is spiritual and philosophical, and the school says that if you want Ashtanga, Bikram or hot yoga, you should look elsewhere.

Best for: students who want a heart-centred, philosophy-rich training with a small group, a river-view setting and long-term community.

Final tips for choosing

Shortlist three schools, then ask each the same questions: what is the full price including room, meals and fees, how many students and teachers will there be, how much practice teaching is included, and what is the refund or transfer policy if plans change? Read recent reviews on at least two independent platforms, and message former students if you can. Finally, be honest about your style. A beginner looking for gentle, philosophical grounding and an experienced Ashtanga practitioner need very different courses, and the best Bali program is the one that fits you.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a 200-hour yoga teacher training in Bali cost?

Among the schools above, “from” prices range from about US$1,300 to US$4,700, with many in the US$2,400–3,000 range. Check whether accommodation, meals and airport pickup are included, since tuition-only courses need extra budget for a room and food.

How long is a yoga teacher training in Bali?

Most 200-hour programs run 20 to 29 days, with some shorter hybrid formats. Compressed courses cost less in accommodation but are intensive, while longer ones cover the same syllabus at a gentler pace.

Do I need Yoga Alliance certification to teach yoga?

No, registration is not legally required, and Yoga Alliance is a registry rather than a licensing body. Many studios and retreat centres do ask for a certificate from a registered school, so check with the places you hope to teach before you decide.

Can beginners join a yoga teacher training?

Many schools accept beginners and intermediate practitioners, but most recommend having a regular practice first. A year of practice and familiarity with basic poses helps you focus on philosophy, anatomy and teaching rather than learning the postures.

Which area of Bali is best for a yoga teacher training?

Ubud suits those who want jungle, rice fields and a spiritual, cultural atmosphere. Canggu is social, with cafés and surf. Uluwatu offers cliffs, beaches and a quieter surf scene, while Sanur, Nusa Lembongan and North Bali are calmer.

When is the best time to train in Bali?

The dry season, roughly April to October, brings sunnier days and is the most popular. The wetter months are cooler and quieter, and many students find them peaceful for study.

What visa do I need to attend a teacher training in Bali?

Most nationalities attend on a tourist visa on arrival, currently around IDR 500,000 for 30 days and extendable once. Visitors also pay a Bali tourist levy of IDR 150,000 per entry. Rules change, so check with Indonesian immigration or your embassy before you fly.

Can I work as a yoga teacher in Bali after graduating?

Paid teaching in Indonesia requires a work permit sponsored by an Indonesian employer, and a tourist visa does not allow it. Completing a course in Bali qualifies you to teach, but working there legally is a separate process.

Can I teach immediately after a 200-hour course?

Yes. A registered 200-hour program prepares you to teach beginner and intermediate classes, and it is the standard starting point for most instructors. Many graduates add 300-hour or specialist training later.
