Yoga in Sanur at the Power of Now Oasis (2026)
During my time exploring Bali, I practised yoga in different parts of the island. In Sanur, I found a holistic centre that stands out for its beachside setting and thoughtful instruction. Here’s everything you need to know about the Power of Now Oasis, including where to stay nearby.
Quick overview of yoga in Sanur
- The Power of Now Oasis is the premier eco-friendly bamboo studio for yoga in Sanur
- Daily classes are suitable for all levels and include vinyasa flow, hatha yoga and meditation sessions
- Located near Sanur beach, combining yoga with a peaceful beach lifestyle
Why choose Sanur for your yoga practice
Sanur feels noticeably different from Bali’s busier centres like Ubud, Seminyak, and Canggu. It’s calmer and easier to settle into, which makes a difference when yoga is part of your daily rhythm.
The town grew from a traditional fishing village into a relaxed beachside base, and that slower pace remains. Mornings are quiet, with people walking or cycling along the long seafront path, or enjoying the beach for a gentle start to the day.
If you’re looking for a place where yoga fits naturally into daily life, rather than being the main event, Sanur works well.
Discovering the Power of Now Oasis
The Power of Now Oasis is a purpose-built, eco-conscious yoga centre set just back from the beach in Sanur.
Built largely from bamboo and surrounded by gardens, the space is open and airy, with sea breezes flowing naturally through the building – something you really appreciate during Bali’s warmer months.
Arriving here feels like stepping out of the everyday pace. The ground floor is designed as a place to hang out and relax. There’s a small shop with yoga and meditation essentials, an extensive library covering mindfulness and philosophy and a café serving organic juices and coffee. It’s the kind of place where it feels natural to stay after class, read for a while or chat quietly with staff.
The yoga studio and teaching
Upstairs, the main yoga studio opens into a bright, spacious room filled with natural light.
The quality of teaching matches the setting. One of the teachers I practised with, Nicole, combined deep experience with a warm, accessible style. Her classes wove philosophical ideas into the physical practice.
Classes here range from flowing vinyasa sessions to slower hatha practices, with meditation sessions balancing out the schedule.
What makes this centre special
Power of Now Oasis is connected to the well-known Yoga Barn in Ubud, which shows in the consistency and quality of the teaching. At the same time, it retains a quieter, more contained feel that suits Sanur’s pace.
Beyond daily classes, the centre also hosts retreats, film screenings, and community-focused events. There’s a sense that it’s run with care and intention, rather than as a high-turnover yoga factory – something that becomes clear the longer you spend time there.

More things to do in Sanur
Beyond yoga, Sanur supports a holistic approach to wellbeing. Several spas throughout town offer traditional Balinese massage, which complements your physical practice by releasing muscle tension. You can even get a certification in practicing Balinese massage at the Bali BISA Spa Academy in Sanur – I did this and it was great training.
Stand-up paddleboarding is popular off the coast of Sanur thanks to its calm waters. You can also visit Museum Le Mayeur, dedicated to a Belgian artist who fell in love with Bali.
Sanur is also the best base for taking a fast boat to Nusa Penida or Nusa Lembongan for a day trip. These islands are renowned for their snorkelling and diving spots, including underwater Buddha statues.
How to get to Sanur
Sanur is only around 30 minutes’ drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport, making it a great first or last stop on your Bali itinerary. Pre-booking a private airport transfer to Sanur ensures a smooth arrival without haggling with taxi drivers after a long flight.
The best time for yoga in Sanur
Bali’s dry season from April to October generally brings the most pleasant weather for yoga practice. During these months, you’ll experience sunny days with lower humidity, making physical practice more comfortable. Morning classes particularly benefit from cooler temperatures and fresh energy as the day begins.
If you like to practice sunrise yoga on the beach, then you’ll love Sanur. The town faces east, so you can watch the sun emerge from the ocean during your early morning practice.
Final thoughts on yoga in Sanur at the Power of Now Oasis
What stood out to me about the Power of Now Oasis wasn’t just the setting, but how naturally yoga fit into daily life there. The teaching was thoughtful, the space was calm and the overall atmosphere was quietly supportive.
Practising yoga so close to the sea, in a place with Sanur’s slower pace, leaves you feeling grounded and settled.
If you’re looking to practise yoga in Bali without the intensity or scale of some of the island’s bigger wellness hubs, the Power of Now Oasis is a good fit. It offers quality teaching in a setting that encourages consistency, calm and ease – which, for me, is what makes it memorable.
