Ubud, Bali

Rice terraces, river valleys and morning practice above the jungle.

Ubud sits in the green hills of central Bali, about 45 minutes from the beach at Sanur and 90 minutes from the airport. It has a long tradition of dance, craft and temple ceremony, and a quieter, more rural feel once you leave the main streets.

Our partner retreat centre is set on the edge of a river valley north of town. Rooms look out over palms and terraced fields, and the practice pavilion faces east for the sunrise.

Warm mornings, a deep local practice culture and Balinese teachers we have worked with for years make Ubud our home for longer yoga and meditation weeks.
