Ubud is where yoga in Bali became famous, and the big studios here earn their reputation. But Ubud is also where we teach our most atmospheric private classes: open-air shalas attached to jungle villas in Penestanan, river-valley decks in Sayan with gibbon-call acoustics, and rice-terrace guesthouses toward Tegallalang where the only crowd is ducks. If your villa has a view, we'll build the class around it.
Retreat Country
Ubud is retreat country, and a large share of our work here is retreat and event teaching: daily classes for villa groups running their own private retreat, yoga mornings for wedding parties, and teacher support for organisers who have the venue and the guests but need the classes handled. Twice-daily rhythm — strong morning vinyasa, candlelit evening yin — is the Ubud classic, and we'll quote a full program from one WhatsApp message.
Individually, Ubud guests skew toward the quieter practices: yin, restorative and meditation and breathwork sessions that use the setting properly. There is no better place on the island to learn pranayama than a jungle balcony at 06:30.
Why Private, in the Town of Studios?
Three honest reasons. First, the famous drop-in classes run 30–60 people in high season — inspiring energy, zero individual correction. Second, getting anywhere in central Ubud at 8:55 am is its own cardio. Third, the studios teach their sequence; we teach you. Plenty of guests do both: drop-ins for the spectacle, a private class to actually fix their downward dog.
Where Around Ubud We Teach
Central Ubud, Penestanan, Sayan, Kedewatan, Peliatan, Mas and up the hill toward Tegallalang. Ubud sits outside our southern core zone, so we ask for bookings a day ahead — same rates, travel included. Coming from the coast? Sanur and Denpasar are on the way down.
