Yoga & Meditation Studios in Ubud
5 businesses in Ubud
Ubud is without question one of the world's great yoga destinations, attracting practitioners and teachers from across the globe who are drawn by the combination of spiritual culture, natural beauty, and a critical mass of serious practitioners. With 4 listed studios, the directory captures key anchor institutions but only scratches the surface of what's available through independent teachers and retreat centers. Radiantly Alive Yoga is perhaps Ubud's most internationally recognized studio, known for a rigorous teaching program, diverse class schedule, and a community that includes world-class instructors. Griya Heart Yoga offers a more intimate setting grounded in traditional Hatha and restorative practices, favored by practitioners seeking depth over variety. Yoga Nisarga Retreat takes the experience off the grid, nestled in the rice fields and jungle away from the town center, where longer immersions and retreats are the primary offering. Drop-in classes run IDR 100,000–185,000 ($6–12) at most studios. Many come to Ubud specifically to deepen their practice over weeks or months, and the town fully supports this — offering everything from drop-in classes to month-long intensives.

Expat tips for Yoga & Meditation Studios in Ubud
Commit to a Studio for Longer Practice Depth +
Yoga in Ubud is at its most rewarding when you commit to a single studio for a month or more rather than dropping in everywhere. Radiantly Alive and Griya Heart both offer monthly memberships that pay for themselves quickly if you practice daily. Consistent attendance also integrates you into the studio community, which becomes a genuine social foundation.
Explore Retreat Programs Before High Season +
Yoga Nisarga and similar retreat centers run multi-day and week-long immersive programs that fill up months in advance during peak season (July–August and December–January). If you're planning a structured retreat experience, researching and booking three to four months ahead secures the program, teacher, and accommodation you actually want.
Connect with Independent Teachers for Private Sessions +
Ubud has a large community of independent yoga teachers who offer private sessions at your villa or in the rice fields. Rates are typically IDR 200,000–400,000 ($13–26) per session — excellent value for one-on-one attention from qualified teachers. Ask at cafes, studios, and expat groups for personal recommendations.
