We are staying at
The Shala Bali Yoga Retreat & Ayurvedic Spa. Cocooned among magnificent nature of Ubud, this place of wellness was founded on the ancient principles of Balinese and Indian philosophy. 

This boutique retreat centre provides an intimate, friendly setting and is located in the lush green rice fields in Ubud. It's a short walk (20 minutes slow pace) or taxi ride into the center of town, close enough for convenience yet just far enough away to create a serene environment. The grounds are lush and tropical and you will find plenty of quiet corners to sit, daydream and enjoy nature. You can luxuriate in the 20 meter salt water lap pool with a sun deck.

Our practice space is a beautiful wooden 110m2 yoga shala overlooking the rice fields. Yoga mats and everything is provided. 

The cafe is a haven for lovers of vibrant delicious food. All dishes are prepared with the highest quality produce, using healthy and tasty ingredients to create Indonesian and international dishes and delicious sweets. The Shala Bali is based on Ahimsa, so the kitchen facility is vegetarian and also vegan & gluten free friendly.

All levels of yoga experience are welcome. Anyone not familiar with Yoga in Daily Life is also welcome. Families are welcome too. You are invited to take the retreat at your own pace doing as much or little as you need to find your own balance and well-being.
