Ubud retreat 2026
Head to the rice fields of regional Bali for a week of peaceful practice amongst friends.
Our Ubud retreat centre is a magical place, with salt water pool, herbal steam sauna, tasty vegetarian food, an expansive practice space and comfortable accommodation.
No experience necessary and all ages welcome.
We’ll be practicing Hatha yoga / Qigong / Meditation / Yin Yoga / Myofascial release / Learning partner Shiatsu and self-massage.
This is an intensive opportunity to let go of habits that don’t serve, and begin your journey towards finding a creative and inspiring new way to live in harmony with those around us.
What will we be doing?
Each day we wake as the sun comes up… usually about 6.30am.
Our day begins in noble silence. Ideally no talking, gesturing (we keep gaze lowered) and obviously no technology / phones / computers etc.
We aim to give ourselves some space and time and distance so we can really hear and notice whatever unfolds in the environment around us. The quieter you are, the more you hear.
We meet in the Shala for meditation in the ricefields… no rush.
At 7am we do our daily sunrise practice, focused on grounded movement and flexibility and drawing on the traditions of Hatha yoga, somatics and pilates. Each day we will target different muscles and movements with lots of variety, making sure the practice is inclusive and enjoyable even for those that don’t have any kind of regular yoga practice.
Breakfast in noble silence from 8.30-9am and then restorative time until we meet back in the Shala at 11am.
Our morning practice will break our noble silence, and this session is focused on exploring practice ideas together with the group.
We may be discussing and exploring things like
The 12 Laws of Karma
The 5 Daily Remembrances of Tibetan Buddhism
The wisdom of the Tao Te Ching

At 4pm we meet up for our final daily session, focused on explorative play and restorative practice.
