Why choose Sanur for your yoga practice
Sanur stands apart from Bali’s busier tourist areas like Ubud, Seminyak and Canggu. This traditional fishing village turned relaxed beach town maintains a peaceful atmosphere that’s ideal for wellness pursuits. The seafront promenade stretches for miles, perfect for sunrise walks or morning practice on the beach. Sanur attracts visitors seeking genuine relaxation and spiritual connection.
Discovering the Power of Now Oasis
The Power of Now Oasis is a purpose built, eco-friendly centre for yoga in Sanur. Made from bamboo, it’s set in gardens near the beach. The architecture allows sea breezes to flow through the space, creating natural cooling even during Bali’s warmest months.
Walking into this sanctuary feels like stepping away from everyday concerns. The ground floor houses a shop stocked with yoga essentials, meditation supplies and locally crafted items. An extensive library invites you to explore teachings on mindfulness, philosophy and holistic living. The organic juice and coffee bar is a great place to refuel after class.
You feel like you could comfortably hang out here for a couple of hours. Why not relax here, chat with staff or sit and flick through one of their books.
The yoga studio and class experience
Upstairs, the main studio opens into a large, airy space that immediately calms the mind. Natural light floods through windows on all sides.
The quality of the teaching matches the beauty of the setting. Instructors like Nicole, the yoga teacher I met there, bring years of experience combined with warm, approachable teaching styles. Nicole’s philosophical approach weaves ancient yoga wisdom into accessible modern practice, helping you understand the physical postures and the deeper meaning behind them. Her classes left me feeling serene.
The schedule includes vinyasa flow sessions that link breath with movement in a dynamic practice. Hatha yoga classes take a slower approach, holding poses longer to build strength and flexibility. Meditation sessions complement the physical practice, teaching techniques you can use long after leaving Bali.
Combined with the sea breezes and sunshine, it is a simply beautiful space in which to practice.
