← All Bali retreatsAbout this selection
Ubud is the undisputed centre of yoga in Bali — rice terraces, healing energy, and more retreat centres per square mile than anywhere on earth. Ubud has a strong Ashtanga lineage. The Mysore-style morning practice, the self-paced approach, and the direct teacher-student relationship of this tradition suit the retreat culture here particularly well. Seven days is the most popular retreat length in Ubud for good reason — it's enough time to develop a real practice routine, experience the local culture and environment, and return home with something that lasts. The first two days are arrival and settling; the final two are integration. August is one of Ubud's best months for retreat — Bali's climate is at its most conducive to outdoor practice, the crowds are manageable, and teachers report that groups arriving in August tend to go deeper than at other times of year. It's a popular booking month, so plan ahead.
