The daily shape of the longer Ubud programmes is consistent. Mornings start with pranayama and meditation, then Hatha Vinyasa yoga. Breakfast follows, then a scheduled session — often sound healing — before lunch and personal time. On designated days the afternoon is given over to a Balinese massage. Evenings are left open. The 4-day sound healing retreat and the 6-day restorative retreat run to their own schedules, and arrival and departure days are handled separately.

Each programme has a different centre of gravity. The 3-day Yoga and Healing retreat pairs Vinyasa Flow and guided meditation with Reiki and two massages — a traditional Balinese massage on day one, an Ayurvedic massage on day two. The 4-day retreat builds from movement and breath awareness towards conscious listening, with day three given to a sound healing session, restorative asana, deep meditation and evening sound relaxation. The 6-day restorative retreat is the gentlest option: restorative postures, guided breathwork, gentle pranayama and breath awareness, plus five Balinese massages across the first five days.

From five days up, the programmes combine pranayama, meditation, Hatha Vinyasa and sound healing with a set number of full-body Balinese massages — four on the 5-day, six on the 7-day, seven on the 8-day, eight on the 9-day, nine on the 10-day and ten on the 11-day. The 11-day Yoga and Wellness retreat adds Reiki healing and an Ayurveda lifestyle consultation to the mix.

The school is led by Yogi Himanshu, who founded it. Its courses are Ashtanga-based, covering postures, Yamas and Niyamas, pranayama and Shat-karma, meditation, yoga philosophy, anatomy and physiology, Ayurveda and therapies, and posture alignment and adjustment. The retreats draw on the same teaching background rather than being run as a separate holiday operation.

Ubud is the setting — inland Bali, away from the beach crowds, with the town's cafes, markets and temples within reach during personal time. The campus itself is built around the practice: yoga facilities, two pools, gardens and common areas, with private and twin-shared rooms in Campus I and Campus II where available.
