Being that Ubud is the centre of Bali for wellness there is a wide choice of different kinds of yoga to practice plus other wellbeing modalities such as sound healing, ecstatic dance, meditation and much much more. During your Ubud stay is the perfect time to focus on your practice or try something new. There are many beginners here so no need to feel worried all classes will be advanced for well practiced yogi’s. Below are some of the yoga studios and shala’s in the Ubud Town area.
UBUD YOGA HOUSE
The most stunning location for a yoga class! Only accessible by walking or motorbike. The open-air yoga shala’s look out onto breathtaking Ubud rice fields. The bamboo shala with natural roof creates a calm and peaceful atmosphere for a soothing yoga class. A small space means small class sizes and personal connection with the yoga teacher. Come for beginner classes, meditation classes or something a bit more challenging to meet your level and your journey. Teacher training is also available here throughout the year.
Open: Monday to Saturday

THE YOGA BARN
The spiritual and holistic mecca of Southeast Asia, The Yoga Barn is the meeting place for masters, gurus and students of everything holistic. With yoga classes, workshops, detoxes, and retreats, many travelers come here for a week and end up staying for months. If you are looking for a connection, you’ll find it here. If you’re looking for a new path in life,you’ll find it here. If you’re just looking for a place to practice, eat, and sweat a little…that’s here, too.

INTUITIVE FLOW
Tucked away in the slightly hidden neighborhood of Penestanan isIntuitive Flow Yoga Center. They are a full-service yoga center offering every type of yoga class plus yoga teacher training. I suppose what makes Intuitive Flow so special is the sense of community here. Instead of
tourists that are flowing in and out of this center, you have women and men who are in the area for a few weeks or even longer. This is the kind of place you come to get to know your fellow yogi.
Open: Daily
Address: Jalan Raya Tjampuhan, Penestanan.

LUMERIE (NEW 2023)
Located in the town, tucked away off Jalan Raya Pengoseken (the same road as Yoga Barn) Keep your eyes open for the sign, after turning left onto the path its hard to believe you are in Ubud Town. Arrive at Lumeria calm and ready for class inside the beautiful bamboo shala. Lumeria is a boutique yoga studio, classes are usually 12 persons maximum which means plenty of space. Sound Journeys and the highly recommended Kundalini classes with Adriana here too.
Open: Daily
Address: Jalan Raya Pengosekan, Peliatan

HEART SPACE (NEW 2023)
The perfect studio if you are a beginner, all teachers are very good and make ‘ every body “ feel welcome. There is no judgement, no pretentious people and very few instagrammers here.
Class sizes are usually around 10 persons but no larger than 15. The beautifully decorated studio is indoors and airconditioned. So good if you feel the heat and for rainy days. Next door is Flourish Café which serves delicious healthy food and also has a great vibe. Located on the southern side of Ubud, we highly recommend.

Interesting Note
I asked a local energy healer if tourism was disrupting Ubud’s spiritual integrity. He said that actually, Ubud’s spiritual energy attracts spiritual people. The people who are supposed to be here, come. The people who aren’t, don’t.
