1. The Yoga Barn — Ubud
The most famous yoga centre in Bali and the beating heart of Ubud's wellness scene. On one lush campus it runs an enormous weekly timetable across several studios — every major style plus breathwork, sound healing, ecstatic dance and meditation — alongside a healing centre, Ayurvedic treatments and a garden café.
Speciality: unrivalled variety and a warm, drop-in-friendly atmosphere, which makes it the ideal first stop for newcomers and travellers. Website: theyogabarn.com.
2. Radiantly Alive — Ubud
A vibrant Ubud studio with a large weekly schedule and a genuine community feel, well known for dynamic Vinyasa and its signature ‘FlyHigh’ method of inversions and arm balances, balanced by softer Yin and restorative classes.
Speciality: dynamic, playful movement and highly regarded 200- and 300-hour teacher trainings. Website: radiantlyalive.com.
3. Samadi Bali — Canggu
Canggu's home of traditional Ashtanga, with daily led classes and Mysore-style self-practice, plus teacher trainings, an organic café and a much-loved Sunday market — all a short walk from Batu Bolong beach.
Speciality: authentic Ashtanga and Mysore practice within a wholesome, community-driven space. Website: samadibali.com.
4. All Yoga Training — Nusa Lembongan
A 200-hour Yoga Alliance teacher training run on Nusa Lembongan, the quiet island twenty minutes by fast boat off Bali’s southeast coast — which is rather the point. Students who want the training without Ubud’s traffic or Canggu’s nightlife get a beach shala, a small group capped at 24, and very little to do in the evenings except study. The syllabus is multi-style rather than single-lineage: an Ashtanga Vinyasa foundation, with Rocket Yoga, Creative Vinyasa Flow and Yin Yoga alongside it, plus anatomy, philosophy and practical teaching hours. Twenty-three days residential, accommodation and meals included.
All Yoga Training lists its trainings on YogaStay, so you can see the current intakes and book the Bali retreat directly — the listing shows whichever dates are still open. Their own site is allyogatraining.com. The same school runs a Phuket training — see our Top 10 yoga schools in Thailand, where it also appears.
5. The Practice — Canggu
Described by its own teachers as a temple of traditional yoga, The Practice specialises in lineage-based tantric hatha yoga taught slowly and deliberately, with a strong emphasis on the breath (pranayama).
Speciality: traditional, breath-led hatha for those who want depth and stillness over a workout. Website: thepracticebali.com.
6. Ubud Yoga Centre — Ubud
A purpose-built studio on the edge of Ubud, overlooking the jungle and river, best known for bringing hot yoga to the area alongside a full multi-style class schedule and teacher training.
Speciality: hot yoga in Ubud, plus accessible multi-style classes with a calm jungle and river view. Website: ubudyogacentre.com.
7. Loka Yoga School — Kedungu (Tabanan)
Loka sits in Kedungu, a laid-back surf town on Bali’s southwest coast that feels like Canggu did ten years ago, without the traffic. This Yoga Alliance–accredited school is run by its two founders. Yann spent years in medicine, working in intensive care, trauma and orthopaedic surgery, cardiology and tropical medicine. Taryn lived in India and studied with traditional teachers there. The result is a 200-hour training grounded in hatha vinyasa, with real depth in both anatomy and philosophy. Three buffet meals a day are included. There’s surf all year, an iconic sea temple next door and the Jatiluwih rice terraces up the road.
Speciality: a 200-hour yoga teacher training in Bali that pairs medical-grade anatomy with traditional yogic philosophy, taught by its founders. Website: lokayogaschool.com.
8. House of Om — Ubud
An internationally recognised teacher-training school (with programmes also in Thailand and India) that blends traditional foundations with modern teaching methodology across multiple styles.
Speciality: serious, career-focused teacher training for those who want to teach professionally. Website: houseofom.com.
9. Power of Now Oasis — Sanur
A beautiful beachfront bamboo shala in quieter Sanur, running daily classes, teacher trainings and retreats a few steps from the sand — a calmer, more local alternative to the Ubud and Canggu crowds.
Speciality: beachfront practice and retreats in a serene bamboo setting. Website: powerofnowoasis.com.
10. Desa Seni — Canggu
A sustainable ‘village’ eco-resort built from restored antique timber houses, where daily yoga sits within a broader wellness-retreat experience of organic food, gardens and holistic treatments.
Speciality: yoga wrapped in an eco-conscious retreat and boutique stay. Website: desaseni.com.
How this list is kept current
Yoga schools open, move and change hands, so a ranking written once and left alone goes stale quickly. This list is reviewed every quarter. It was last updated in October 2026, and the next review is January 2027 — if a school has closed, moved or slipped, that is when it changes.
Schools shown as bookable on YogaStay have been verified by us and their dates can be booked here. Looking at Thailand too? See our Top 10 yoga schools in Thailand.
How to choose the right one for you
A few simple filters make the decision easy. If you want variety and an easy first experience, start with The Yoga Barn or Ubud Yoga Centre. For a strong physical practice, look to Radiantly Alive (dynamic Vinyasa) or Samadi (Ashtanga). If you are drawn to tradition, breath and depth, The Practice is hard to beat. For teacher training, House of Om, Loka and Radiantly Alive are all well regarded. And if you want a retreat-style escape, Power of Now Oasis, Desa Seni and Zen Resort each offer a distinct setting — beachfront, eco-village and quiet north coast respectively.
One practical note: nearly every renowned yoga school in Indonesia is on Bali, concentrated in Ubud (its spiritual and cultural core), Canggu (younger and beach-facing), Sanur and the calmer north. Wherever you land, check recent reviews and confirm the schedule and teachers before you book.

Where is the best place for yoga in Indonesia?
Bali, without question. Ubud is the spiritual and cultural heart, Canggu is the modern, beach-facing hub, and Sanur and the quiet north coast suit those wanting a calmer setting.
Which Bali school is best for teacher training?
It depends on the style you want — House of Om and Radiantly Alive are well-regarded multi-style options, Loka Yoga School pairs hatha vinyasa with medical-grade anatomy, and Samadi is the go-to for traditional Ashtanga.
Do I need to be experienced to attend?
No. Most of these schools run beginner-friendly and drop-in classes alongside advanced sessions and teacher trainings, so you can start at any level.
