Good to know

Where should a first-timer do yoga in Ubud?

The big drop-in studios — the kind with a full daily timetable across styles — are the easiest starting point; smaller shalas suit you once you know what you want to practise.

Do I need to book Ubud yoga classes and spa treatments ahead?

Popular classes and the well-known spas fill in high season — reserve a day ahead where you can. Some hillside studios and village spas are quieter and easier to walk into.

What's the difference between a class, a treatment and a retreat here?

We note it on each: a drop-in class is an hour or two, a spa or Ayurvedic treatment is a single booking, and a retreat is a multi-day, often doctor- or teacher-led programme.
