Fitness and Yoga Retreat in Ubud, Bali

A typical day starts at 07:00 with a 90-minute yoga class on the open-air deck. Breakfast follows at 08:30, and then there is a break until the late morning fitness session at 10:30, which runs for an hour and covers strength and conditioning. Lunch is at 13:00, and the afternoon is free until 16:30, when there is a second fitness session — sometimes HIIT, sometimes mobility work. Dinner is at 19:00, and most evenings are free, though there is one evening meditation session during the week.

What makes this retreat different from others in Ubud is the balance between yoga and fitness. Many retreats in the area focus only on yoga, but this one runs proper fitness sessions twice a day alongside the yoga. The instructors are both long-term Ubud residents who have been teaching for years, and they adjust the sessions to the group's ability.

The retreat centre is a 10-minute drive from central Ubud, set among rice fields. The property has a pool, a yoga shala, and a small gym area with mats, kettlebells and resistance bands. Rooms are simple but comfortable, with fans and some with air conditioning.

Ubud itself is known for its yoga studios, health food cafes and the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary. Guests often walk into town in the afternoons to visit the market or get a massage. The retreat includes one organised excursion to the Tegalalang rice terraces and a local waterfall.

The group size is capped at 14 people, which means the instructors can correct form and give options for different levels. Most guests come alone, though couples and friends also book. The week is structured but not rigid — you can skip a session if you need rest.
