6 Day Yoga and Meditation Retreat in the Heart of Ubud, Bali

Each day starts with a one-hour vinyasa flow class in the open-air yoga shala, linking movement with the breath in creative, balanced sequences that strengthen and lengthen. Sally, your host and lead teacher, offers modifications and options so every level feels supported, and she'll invite you to play with backbends, arm balances, and inversions if you want. Evenings shift gear entirely into Yin or Restorative Yoga, with longer-held seated and supine poses designed to release tension and create space in the deeper connective tissues.

Two full days are given over to group excursions. You'll walk through the iconic rice paddies that make Ubud famous, visit serene waterfalls, and explore centuries-old Balinese temples, with transport included. These trips break up the yoga and give you a real sense of the island's culture and landscape, not just the resort.

The retreat is hosted at Gayatri Ubud, a Balinese boutique hotel in the center of town but set back from the main road in a peaceful garden sanctuary. Rooms are individually designed with Balinese decor, all with private bathrooms, AC, fridges, and balconies or porches. The onsite pool and loungers are perfect for the free afternoons.

Sally Mitchell has been teaching yoga since 2010 and leading retreats since 2014. Her teaching is grounded, supportive, and safe, integrating movement, alignment, breath, and stillness. With Body Flows' motto of "move, breathe, balance, flow," she creates a welcoming space for everyone, whether you're new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner. This is a retreat that genuinely welcomes all levels and all bodies.
