Our Methodology

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

⭐ Namoo Choice

What "Namoo Choice" Means

Choosing a yoga teacher training programme is a significant investment of time, money, and trust. We believe you deserve clarity about which schools have the strongest credibility.

The Namoo Choice badge is awarded to schools that demonstrate exceptional credibility across publicly available student review data. It is based on ratings and review volume from Google, Tripaneer, Tripadvisor, and Facebook, combined with certification status and years of operation.

Namoo Choice cannot be purchased. It is earned through genuine student experiences.

ℹ️

What About Schools Without the Badge?

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