Sunrise Yoga
01
A yoga retreat is not a holiday and it is not a course — it sits somewhere gently in between. At Bali Yoga Community in Ubud, our retreats give you the structure of daily practice without the pressure of assessment. You wake to birdsong instead of alarms, move through asana as the sun rises over the rice fields, and spend the rest of the day exactly as your body asks you to.
Each day opens with pranayama and a gentle Hatha session, followed by a sattvic breakfast prepared with seasonal, locally grown ingredients. Afternoons are yours — book an Ayurvedic massage, join a philosophy talk, walk to the riverside temples, or simply rest. Evenings close with restorative yoga, meditation and kirtan under the stars.
Because our groups stay small, our teachers get to know you by name and adjust the practice to suit you. Whether you arrive to recover from burnout, to deepen an existing practice, or simply to breathe for a while, you will find the space to do it here.
Ubud has no shortage of retreat centres. Here is what makes practising with Bali Yoga Community different.
Sunrise Yoga
Meditation
Asana Clinics
Water Temples
Structured enough to keep you steady, open enough to let you rest. Mornings are for practice, afternoons are yours.
Timings shift slightly with the season and the group. Nothing is compulsory — rest whenever your body asks for it.
Clean, comfortable rooms with mountain views and three sattvic meals a day — so the only thing you have to think about is your practice.
Every room looks out over the rice terraces or the valley below. Rooms are cleaned daily, have an attached bathroom with hot and cold running water, and stay quiet enough to sleep deeply.
Our kitchen is purely sattvic — three fresh vegetarian meals a day, cooked with seasonal produce from local farms. We serve no meat, no fish and no eggs anywhere on campus. Sattvic food is light, easy to digest and traditionally considered the diet that best supports a steady yoga practice.
Tell us before you arrive if you are vegan, gluten-free or have any allergies — our cook will adjust your plate, not your experience.
Still unsure about something? Write to us and a real person will answer — usually the same day.
Not at all. Most of our retreat guests are complete beginners or return after long breaks. Classes are taught in small groups, so your teacher can offer easier or deeper variations of every posture. If you have practised for years, tell us on arrival and we will keep you challenged.
Your accommodation, all three sattvic meals a day, herbal teas, every yoga and meditation session, philosophy talks and one Ayurvedic consultation with a therapy. Airport pickup, extra treatments and personal laundry are charged separately.
Ngurah Rai International (DPS) in Denpasar is the nearest airport, roughly ninety minutes away by road. We arrange private pickup on request — just send us your arrival details once your flight is booked.
Yes. Our kitchen is purely sattvic, so we serve no meat, fish or eggs anywhere on campus. Vegan, gluten-free and allergy-friendly plates are prepared on request — let us know your requirements before you arrive.

Usually yes, subject to room availability. Many guests add a few nights before or after their retreat to explore Ubud at their own pace. Ask us when you book and we will hold the room for you.
Your deposit secures the room and is non-refundable, but it can be moved to any other retreat date within twelve months. Cancel more than 30 days before arrival and the remaining balance is fully refunded.
Sunrise practice above the rice terraces, Ayurvedic meals cooked fresh each day, and a small group throughout. Tell us your dates and we will hold a room for you.
Not sure which dates suit you? Write to us — every message is answered by one of the teachers, not an agent.
Your message is on its way. One of our teachers will get back to you shortly.
