1. Peace of mind at Samadi Bali, Canggu
Samadi Bali is a brand new yoga studio in Canggu. Ideal for those seeking a low-key, down-to-earth practice, Samadi is a welcome escape outside of Bali’s surrounding hub-bub. This studio’s variety of classes allow you to sample different styles and rhythms, alternating between Ashtanga Mysore, beginner’s Ashtanga and Hatha Yoga. Afterwards you can chill out in their lush gardens and enjoy the garden cafe while sipping on a fresh young coconut. Seeking a good place to buy local produce? Head to Samadi on Sunday mornings for their bustling farmer’s market selling organic food, clothing, hand-made accessories and much more.

2. Local living at Desa Seni, Canggu
At this eco-village resort, you could spend the entire day stretching, dancing, swimming, eating, resetting- all in the tranquil atmosphere of Canggu’s rice fields. With a focus on the local environment and community, Desa Seni is the perfect spot for those seeking an ‘authentic’ Balinese experience. From sunrise sessions to full moon healing circles, you are sure to feel restored after just a few hours at this yoga shala. Traveling with kids?

3. Jungle views at the Yoga Barn, Ubud
Ever sat amidst the jungle and tried to completely clear your mind? This is the idea at the Yoga Barn, an open-air studio surrounded by green fields and lotuses in the valley of Ubud. More than just your average yoga venue, the Yoga Barn is a holistic center dedicated to health and wellness, offering detox programs, Ayurvedic rejuvenation and an organic cafe, in addition to daily classes in yoga, meditation and dance. Upon entering the spacious grounds you immediately feel the community spirit of this studio, with a team of enthusiastic professionals as your teachers and a calendar of weekly events and workshops to partake in. Individual classes can be a bit pricey for the budget-traveler, but we recommend buying a pack of classes with their discount card if you plan on being in Ubud for a bit.
