Fitness and Yoga Retreat in Ubud, Bali with Daily Classes and Rice Field Views

The day has a shape. You wake up, have coffee or tea, and get on the deck for the main session at 07:00. That is either a vinyasa flow or a strength and mobility class, depending on the day, and it runs about 90 minutes. Breakfast follows at 08:30 — fruit, eggs, toast, Balinese coffee — and then the day is yours until the evening class.

Afternoons are deliberately empty. Most people walk the 15 minutes into central Ubud for lunch, visit the market, or take a taxi to the Tegalalang rice terraces or the Tirta Empul water temple. Some just stay by the pool. The evening session at 17:30 is slower: yin, restorative, or a guided stretch, usually 60 minutes. Dinner is at 19:00 and it is cooked on site.

What separates this from the bigger Ubud retreats is the size. It is one teacher, one deck, and a handful of guests. That means the morning class can be adjusted on the spot — if three people want more core work and two want a gentler flow, the teacher splits the session. It also means the schedule is not rigid. If the group wants to leave early one morning for a sunrise walk to the rice terraces, that happens.

The teacher has been based in Ubud for several years and teaches both vinyasa and strength work. They hold a 200-hour yoga teacher training certification and have run retreats in Bali since before the pandemic. Classes are taught in English.

Ubud itself is the reason most people come. The guesthouse sits on a quiet lane off Jalan Raya Ubud, backing onto working rice fields. You hear frogs at night and see herons in the paddies in the morning. It is a 15-minute walk to the Ubud Palace and the main market, and about 90 minutes by car from Ngurah Rai International Airport in Denpasar.
