4 Day Wellness Retreat in Ubud with Yoga, Purification, and Self-Discovery

The retreat unfolds over four days and three nights at Udaya Resort, a luxury property in the heart of Ubud's jungle and rice paddies. From the moment you're picked up at Ngurah Rai International Airport, hosts Ricardo and Ayumi take care of the details. Their warmth and attention, as several guests have noted in reviews, make this a particularly safe and welcoming space for a reset.

The daily rhythm balances group activities with generous free time. Mornings are for yoga—a blend of Vinyasa, Hatha, and Yin styles, catered to all levels. Ricardo's approach to breathwork is distinctive: he teaches a softer, more conscious style of pranayama that guests say has been a breakthrough in their personal practice. Sessions often incorporate meditation and Tibetan sound healing, using singing bowls to calm the nervous system and draw you into the present moment.

Beyond the yoga shala, the retreat is deeply rooted in Balinese culture. One full day is dedicated to a purification ceremony at a hidden waterfall, a ritual that has been performed for centuries. Another involves a visit to a holy water temple, where you'll participate in a cleansing ceremony with a sarong and offerings provided. You'll also learn to make Balinese offerings (canang sari) in a hands-on workshop.

Food is a centerpiece, with all three meals included at Ubud's most loved plant-based eateries. You'll explore the town's famous cafes, sampling raw, vegan, vegetarian, and Ayurvedic dishes. The resort also offers a 90-minute Kaveri royal massage on day one, and a 30-minute massage is part of the package. Optional upgrades like a 60-minute massage, a private class, or spa package are available.

Ayumi, co-host and Yoga Alliance accredited instructor, brings a background in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Reiki. Her sessions focus on mindfulness, self-care, and connecting with your intention. The intimate group size—between one and eight participants—means you'll get personalized guidance and likely leave with new friends from around the world.
