Walking out of the 7am yoga session and into the sunshine of Ubud, I felt invigorated and energised. I spent four months travelling around Bali and always returned to The Yoga Barn. Here you can find the best yoga in Ubud, as well as plenty of broader healing offerings. Read on to find out where it is, nearby accommodation and what’s on offer there.

What is The Yoga Barn?

A friend had recommended this place to me long before I visited Bali. I overheard more than one person say they chose their accommodation based on its proximity to The Yoga Barn, just as I had.

When I arrived at The Yoga Barn, I discovered it is the place to be for any yoga fan or the yoga-curious – and one of the main social epicentres of Ubud.

Not strictly a resort, it offers rooms for the people attending its well-received detox retreats, who receive specially tailored yoga and meditation programmes.

What classes are offered at The Yoga Barn?

With a comprehensive, well-priced drop-in class schedule from 7am to 7.30pm every day, this yoga and healing centre offers something to suit everyone.

A wide range of yoga styles and levels is complemented by sound healing, qi gong, capoeira, ecstatic dance, meditation, bodywork and kirtan sessions, as well as a fortnightly Monday movie night. 

A range of card options allow discounts for multiple class purchases. The classes I have attended have sometimes been a little crowded, owing to the centre’s popularity, but the charismatic and knowledgeable teachers have been able to hold the space.

There is also a schedule of workshops from visiting teachers, from an introduction to the Law of Attraction (which I attended – just waiting now for my dream plans to manifest), to a short course exploring Tantra, as well as holistic healing facilities and an on-site Ayurveda centre.

Where to eat after your yoga class

The Yoga Barn has an on-site restaurant called Garden Kafe. It’s the younger sibling of the popular Kafe on Hanoman Street and serves delicious healthy dishes and tempting cakes.

Additionally, each studio has its own water cooler where you can refill your water bottle. This is a nice touch, as it helps cut down the number of plastic bottles in Bali.

What else do I need to know about The Yoga Barn?

The Yoga Barn has become something of an institution as the place for the best yoga in Ubud.

Its founders launched the popular Bali Spirit Festival which takes over the town every spring. Next year it’s from 15-19 April 2026.

They also have an informal notice board where anyone can post their event. Local news is also shared after the Friday night ecstatic dance class.

All of this adds to the informal, sociable and welcoming atmosphere.

Where to find The Yoga Barn

Accessed by an almost hidden path from one of Ubud’s main roads, The Yoga Barn is set in its own green oasis.

It’s natural wooden buildings and terraces, set among ponds and wildlife, reflect its rustic name. The croaking and squawking of various creatures provide a cheerful accompaniment to the early morning classes.

The address is Jalan Sukma Kesuma in Ubud. You can find it on Google Maps here.

Frequently asked questions about the Yoga Barn

What makes The Yoga Barn unique?

The Yoga Barn is renowned for its sense of community. People gather here from all over the world to share their love for yoga and wellness. It also hosts the annual Bali Spirit Festival in Ubud.

What’s the best time to visit The Yoga Barn?

Any time of day is good, as they have a packed schedule of daily classes and workshops. Personally, I loved going early in the morning to wake up my muscles with a yoga class. I also loved the evening ecstatic dance classes.

Do I need to bring a yoga mat?

No, The Yoga Barn provides mats. Some of the mats look a little tired and they aren’t regularly cleaned after each class, but you are also free to bring your own. The Yoga Barn gives you all the accoutrement you could need: blocks, straps, bolsters, tennis balls (to place under your hips and buttocks during yin yoga) and cosy blankets for your restorative yoga practice.

Final thoughts on the best yoga in Ubud

As Bali’s capital of yoga, there are plenty of options for yoga in Ubud. The sleek and friendly Radiantly Alive yoga centre offers a selection of classes and workshops, including a great introduction to Vinyasa. Also, there’s the Intuitive Flow studio on the outskirts of town in Penestanan.

However The Yoga Barn is popular because it’s more than a yoga centre – it’s a true social and community hub for yoga lovers.

I will definitely visit The Yoga Barn again and I highly recommend you do too.
