Alice Badot

Wellness writer focused on yoga travel and personal growth.

Background

Alice Badot studied law for three years before deciding that the path she was on did not reflect her deeper values. That realization led her toward personal development and, in time, to yoga, which she now describes as a steadying daily practice rather than a goal to achieve.

Writing focus

For YOGI TIMES, Alice writes about yoga teacher training and retreats, with a particular focus on Bali. Her articles cover how to choose a training, where to stay from Canggu to Ubud, what to pack, and the real experiences of students who have made the trip. Across more than a dozen pieces, she has built out a genuinely comprehensive resource for anyone weighing a Bali YTT or retreat, from initial decision-making guides through practical packing lists to student testimonials gathered directly from the mat.

Approach

Alice writes from the perspective of someone still early in her own practice, and she is interested in yoga less as a destination and more as a companion for emotional balance, presence, and self-awareness. That still-learning perspective shapes her Bali coverage too, written for a reader who, like her, is looking for real transformation rather than simply ticking off a certification.
