Ubud Yoga Centre

This is my absolute favourite studio in the world! It’s so beautiful, the teachers are amazing, the staff is so friendly and they know everyone by name. The food is delicious and it has also a beautiful Yoga Shop. And last but not least such a welcoming international community of students.

I've tried aerial yoga today and the class was amazing! I am extremely grateful to a wonderful teacher Kinu for her clear instructions and gentle leading. The atmosphere is exceptional, the nature with all its sounds and the views are astonishing. I was lucky enough to finish my class with a storm, it was a cherry on the top for sure. Magnificent experience, highly recommend 💯

I’m new to yoga, but I’ve been going to the gym for over 5 years, so I have good endurance but poor flexibility. I came to yoga as a beginner to work on my stretching and flexibility, and I was told all classes were beginner-friendly. I was very excited to try aerial yoga, and I ended up taking classes with two different teachers. However, I found it quite challenging, before asking beginners to hang upside down, it might be worth considering how intimidating that can be for someone with no prior experience. By my second session, seeing everyone else succeed while I struggled made me feel quite discouraged. I had been assured these were beginner classes, yet it didn’t feel that way. I then tried Yin Yoga, which was slow-paced and truly beginner-friendly. One question for the administration: if you have three studios next to each other and in one there’s a slow, calming yoga session while in the next room loud, fast-paced music is playing with a completely different vibe, how can students focus and relax? I might try yoga again in the future, but not at this studio.

Online this yoga school looks beautiful, and the class I joined was actually fine. But in reality the building is severely run down. From the outside you already see poor maintenance and inside it gets even worse. 🤮 The Bikram yoga room is dirty, the mats are completely worn out and the showers are absolutely revolting. Moldy curtains, filthy shower heads, black mold everywhere on walls and tiles, limescale build up everywhere, peeling paint and constant dampness. This is not a one off cleaning issue but years of neglected hygiene. Do they actually now how to run a yogaschool? Spaces with this level of mold and dampness can cause serious health risks. People are more likely to develop respiratory problems such as asthma and coughing, fungal infections like athlete’s foot and nail fungus, skin irritations and rashes, and in some cases toxic black mold can even lead to chronic fatigue, headaches and more severe illness. The class offering itself may be fine but the hygiene is at such a dangerous level that I would strongly recommend staying far away. It is shocking that such a place is still allowed to operate. If a Western health inspector visited it would be shut down immediately. This yoga centre urgently needs to close for a full month, undergo deep cleaning and major renovation in the showers. Until then it is unacceptable that paying customers are exposed to such conditions as here 🤮

The Ubud Yoga Centre is not to be missed! The yoga facilities are magical, so calming and restorative. The staff, especially Komang (she is amazing!) is super friendly and attentive. The cafe is wonderful too, I thoroughly enjoyed every meal I had there! I can’t think of a more ideal setting to practice yoga! 😊

A phenomenal studio offering all the good stuff. Bikram Yoga, Hot Pilates, Hot Barre, Yin Yoga and all the rest. This studio is organised, professional and has well qualified teachers, which is extremely important when teaching such style of practice. The health cafe is also amazing. The staff are lovely, the menu provides a lot of variety and you always feel nourished after eating / drinking there. I can’t wait to come back already.

My partner and I recently attended a Bikram yoga class at this centre, and unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. We both made it clear that we were new to Bikram yoga, and my partner also has a sore knee which limits what she can do. Despite this, the instructor was extremely rude and overly bossy throughout the class. Any time I tried to check in with my partner to see if she was okay, the instructor would stop the entire class to single us out for talking, making the experience stressful and uncomfortable. There was no sense of support or understanding, which was especially disheartening given that yoga is supposed to be about mindfulness and respect for individual limits. Instead, we felt shamed and disrespected. This experience completely put us off returning — not just to this studio, but to Bikram yoga altogether. Definitely not recommended for beginners or anyone needing a supportive environment.

Wow this was one of the best yoga classes I have ever joined!! I did the hot yoga with weights, my first time ever doing hot yoga. I absolutely loved it and enjoyed myself so much! Absolutely gorgeous yoga teacher and the atmosphere and view from the yoga room is just stunning. Highly recommend this place
