It’s a journey of mind and spirit purification, where you’ll visit one of Bali’s most famous holy water temples. Here, you’ll have the chance to immerse yourself in sacred water, pray for blessings at the inner temple, and receive a sprinkle of holy water from the priest to bring peace to your mind and soul. We’ve got you covered with sarong, sash, offering, and transportation, so all you need to do is come and experience this amazing journey.
If you’re looking for a spiritual adventure, we’ve got just the thing for you.

The program is well-planned and designed to help you relax both mentally and physically. I came here wanting a complete re-set, and that’s exactly what I got. The staff is amazing, they’re incredibly attentive and really make the experience special.

December 28, 2023 at 12:00 amI can’t remember the names of the two different male teachers, but they both have a lot of experience in yoga. However, they aren’t as good at creating a good class experience. I think the class should offer more options to cater to students with varying abilities. It seemed like the male teachers were more focused on practicing their own yoga rather than actually teaching yoga.

July 10, 2023 at 12:00 amI really wished I had the chance to join Guru’s yoga lesson, but I understood that he was busy with the important festival at the Ashram. The program is not just about yoga, it also offers amazing experiences like purification at the water temple, sound healing, meditation, and a tour of the Ashram. Plus, we get massages almost every day, which is incredible! The people here are incredibly nice and understanding when it comes to scheduling, and the food is absolutely delicious. There’s always an abundance of excellent dishes, including rich desserts. And after the massages, we’re treated to tea and fruit. They even bring tea to our rooms at night to help us sleep! This is my third visit here, and the service just keeps getting better each time.

June 20, 2023 at 12:00 amUnfortunately, the retreat only lasts for 3 days instead of the 5 days they advertised. When we arrived on the first day, dinner wasn’t included and there were no treatments or yoga available, except for a quick 5-10 minute foot scrub. If we had known about this, we wouldn’t have rushed to get there by 2pm. Additionally, the detox juices are not included, they only provide tea. However, the staff is incredibly friendly and eager to make you comfortable. We really enjoyed the beautiful view of the rice fields, the warm welcome gifts, and the relaxing treatments.

Helpful ReviewRoya Nila
March 29, 2023 at 12:00 amWe didn’t really feel like we were doing a retreat. When we read through the description, the whole program sounded so great. But everything seemed more like appearances rather than reality.
For example, the sunrise walk on the first day turned out to be a big disappointment. We were expecting a calming walk in the rice fields while witnessing the sunrise, but instead we found ourselves walking on the street with honking cars all around us. Not only did we not get to see the sunrise, we actually ended up walking away from it. On the way back, we stopped at a place to watch the sunrise, only to have one of the staff members take out his cell phone and loudly watch videos. That’s how we started our retreat, and that’s why we decided to skip the second sunrise walk.
The sound healing hour was also quite unpleasant. The instrument that was played didn’t create a very relaxing atmosphere. We were expecting a soundhealing class with singing bowls, but that wasn’t what we experienced.
Even the evening ritual wasn’t as special as we had hoped. All we got was some tea and a cotton pad with lavender. The description online had made it seem much more exciting.
Overall, we were very disappointed with the retreat, especially considering it was our last few days in Bali. However, the food and rooms were great, and the staff was friendly and kind. We really enjoyed the spa treatments, especially the kindness shown by Giri. The Yoga Classes were also nice, and it was great that a lot was included in the price, which was relatively inexpensive for a “retreat.”

March 22, 2023 at 12:00 amWe had a meeting scheduled with the yoga master as per his availability. Unfortunately, we could only meet him in a large group with seven other people, which wasn’t what we had hoped for. None of us were prepared for a group discussion as we were unaware that it would be in that format. As a result, we sat in uncomfortable silence, unable to ask the questions we had prepared. Maybe if the yoga master’s schedule is too packed to meet individually, it should be mentioned separately and scheduled accordingly.
During our five-day stay at Om Ham, my husband and I had an amazing time. Each morning, we started with a refreshing 1 1/2 hour yoga class. Additionally, we treated ourselves to a spa session every afternoon or evening. The food served was outstanding, as was the tea. The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating; they even arranged transportation for us from Denpasar and provided a ride to Mt. Batur when we left. We would highly recommend staying here!
Helpful ReviewErika Szewkies
February 28, 2023 at 12:00 am– People were smoking on the pool area, on the second floor of the restaurant, and in other areas. It was extremely disturbing to have people smoking next to you while trying to read a book or relax during a retreat. Unfortunately, the staff did not do anything about it.
Helpful Review– Similarly, there were people who had a very different mindset and behaved in unexpected ways for a place like this. For instance, two men had an entire bottle of whisky and were drinking whiskola from a can of Coke at 10:30 AM. Additionally, there were families with very noisy kids.
– The yoga mats were old and often dirty. I expected better ones, like anti-slippery mats.
– I discovered Kundalini yoga, which is not widely practiced in western countries, and it’s really amazing. The classes were fantastic and suitable for all levels of experience.
– The spa treatments were enjoyable and relaxing. The staff was dedicated to making you feel good.
– The food was plentiful, and the restaurant staff were incredibly friendly and lovely. As a vegetarian, I appreciated the variety of food that was available.
– The hotel is conveniently located next to a stunning rice paddy, providing a fabulous view from the pool.

February 25, 2023 at 12:00 amI had to leave because this place is amazing! I had such a lovely time at Om Ham, and it definitely invited a lot of peace and grounding for me. The retreat faces rice fields, and the greenery and nature are so inviting. The Kundalini Tantra yoga was incredible, and the meditation and sound healing felt magical. I really enjoyed how the yoga emphasized the breath work, and I appreciated that the teachers took time to support me through practice. The food was super nourishing and delicious (you must try the Avocado cheesecake). The staff are all so dedicated and friendly, and the pampering and care they provide is out of this world. I’m definitely coming back!

February 5, 2023 at 12:00 amI had an amazing time at Om Ham! The staff was absolutely fantastic – they were the friendliest and most helpful people I’ve ever encountered. They always went out of their way to make my experience even better, and they always did it with a big smile on their faces. A special shoutout to Kopi and Dewa for their outstanding service!
The food at Om Ham was top-notch. It was not only delicious, but also fresh and flavorful. The retreat menu had a great variety to choose from, and everything I tried was absolutely delightful! The fresh young coconuts were definitely a standout, along with the fantastic sleep time teas.
The yoga instructors were incredible. As a beginner, I found it really humbling to practice with such skilled yogis. They were always there to help and guide me, and I truly appreciated their insights. The meditation sessions were also a highlight for me, and I wish I had done more of them.
The hotel and accommodations exceeded my expectations. Everything was lovely and well-maintained. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay.

Helpful Review– I often smelled cigarette smoke at the restaurant, on my balcony, and even once in the yoga room. It’s very unpleasant.
– The program could be improved in terms of organization.
– The desserts are not good at all.
– For the massages, it would be better to leave some time between the end of the massage and signing the voucher.
– There are bad smells in the bathroom and a lack of ventilation.
– I loved the yoga classes with the 3 instructors. The class with the master was amazing, he’s really funny, it’s very pleasant. The massages were very relaxing, I also enjoyed them a lot.
– The room was nice, and the bed was comfortable.
– The fruits were very good.
– I also liked the trip to Ubud, even though it wasn’t long enough. I also appreciated the small touches like the herbal tea served in the room and the kindness of the staff.

November 23, 2022 at 12:00 amThe detox menu tasted delicious, but it could use a few more main dishes to avoid repetition during the 8-day program. I absolutely adored Tantra yoga! It’s not at all what you expect, but definitely worth trying – it’s now my new favorite style. The instructors were all amazing, with fantastic humor and a light-hearted approach. The activities offered on-site, such as herbal tea classes and making natural body scrubs, were great. The beauty treatments were incredibly relaxing, and the team was highly professional. And let’s not forget about the breathtaking Bali-style outlook, pool, and dining rooms – they were perfect.

June 25, 2022 at 12:00 amIt’s about 5 km away from the center of Ubud, so you’ll need to take a taxi towards the city (I did that with Grab, it doesn’t cost much). The resort is amazing, nestled in the middle of rice fields, but with all the luxury and a lovely pool. Every day, you can start with a morning walk, yoga, and/or a massage.

November 27, 2019 at 12:00 amI would have loved Guru Ketut Arsana to teach me personally, but unfortunately, he wasn’t teaching during my stay, which I didn’t know before I arrived. Meeting and talking to him in person made me realize how deep and meaningful it would have been to learn from him. However, the teachers who were there during my stay were incredibly dedicated. The staff at the retreat were also friendly and helpful.
Now, about the food, there was actually quite a lot on the program. It’s not a bad thing, but if you’re looking for a detoxifying retreat, this might not be the right one for you. But I have to say, they really maintained and took care of the environment, making sure any maintenance or construction didn’t disturb the guests. They were considerate with the noise and made sure it didn’t affect our experience.
Another thing I enjoyed about the program was that it gave me enough free time to just relax or go out and explore. They even had a free shuttle bus if you wanted to venture out. Personally, I stayed at the center for the most part, but I did go out for the Ashram Journey, Purification Ritual, and Kirtan Sound Healing Meditation. The Purification Ritual was such a revitalizing experience, taking me to the Sebutu Holy Water Fall. And the Ashram Journey was truly special, as I had the opportunity to sit in Guru Ketut Arsana’s quarters, listening to him talk to the locals, ask him a question, and receive a blessing. The Kirtan Sound Healing was also a fantastic immersion into their faith practice.
Let me tell you, the Kundalini Tantra Yoga was absolutely amazing. However, I must mention that it is more suitable for intermediate to advanced students. The massage treatments that were part of the package were absolutely beautiful as well. And the restaurant, especially the upstairs area, had a soothing and serene vibe.
In conclusion, I highly recommend Om Ham Retreat Centre Restore and Renew 5 Day Program. It was such a special experience, thanks to all the wonderful people who made my retreat unforgettable.

I was also disappointed with the interaction with Master Asana. I expected more communication and guidance/explanation of the type of yoga they offer there. The program was well-structured. I was expecting more group activities, like the walks for example. Since I was alone, it took a while to make connections with others.

June 25, 2019 at 12:00 amI thought the quilt and mattress in the room were a little damp. This retreat is about a 20-minute bike ride from Ubud center. The resort’s surroundings are so beautiful and green, situated right next to a paddy field. The pool and restaurant offer amazing views. It’s a small but stunningly designed resort. The staff are super friendly, polite, and always in good spirits. The yoga and meditation instructors are great. And the food? Absolutely delicious! There are plenty of choices for vegetarians and vegans. Plus, you can even enjoy a refreshing beer in the restaurant.

June 10, 2019 at 12:00 amThe WiFi kept turning off and the connection was very weak, and it really bothered me because I needed to work for about two hours every day. I think for most guests who are on vacation, it’s probably okay to not have continuous and fast internet. But for people like me who are traveling and working at the same time, this service needs to be taken seriously. The staff at Om Ham were really friendly and helpful! The room was clean and comfortable, and the food was delicious, healthy, and beautifully presented! I’ve been doing yoga for many years, and my five-day stay at Om Ham gave me the opportunity to learn more about Kundalini, specifically Kundalini Tantra, which Master Ketut Arsana named it. I ended up buying the DVD of Kundalini Tantra Yoga by Master Arsana, and I plan on spending some time to understand it better. Right now, I’m not sure how to describe it well, but my body feels more alive after practicing with the instructor and focusing on breathing, which helps release mental stress. Overall, I absolutely loved my stay at Om Ham and I’m already planning on coming back in the near future. I also took a herbal tea class, which was incredibly enjoyable and educational. I highly recommend it!

June 9, 2019 at 12:00 amChildren should not be allowed at the retreat because they make too much noise and it ruins the calming atmosphere for the other 90% of the guests who come here to experience healing.

February 17, 2019 at 12:00 amUnfortunately, the hotel is currently undergoing some construction, so you might find the noise a bit annoying at times. But apart from that, everything else was fantastic! I had an absolutely amazing and peaceful retreat at Om Ham. The accommodation was pleasant, although not overly luxurious. The food was delicious and healthy, and they never let me go hungry with all my meals included (appetizer, main course, and dessert). What really stood out was the exceptional level of care and friendly service throughout my entire stay. Every staff member knew my name and always checked in to see how I was enjoying everything, and if there was anything I wanted to change on the schedule. They were so flexible and genuinely wanted to ensure I had a wonderful experience.
When I arrived at the retreat, I was feeling stressed out, but by the time I left, I felt relaxed and rejuvenated. The entire staff was amazing, especially Iluo (sorry if I spelled it wrong). She was incredibly nurturing and caring, making me feel at ease from the moment I arrived till the moment I departed. Arthur’s yoga classes were a highlight, and now I’m inspired to continue practicing Kundalini yoga, something I had never tried before this retreat.
Mina was super patient with my struggles in meditation and took me on a lovely visit to the ashram, answering all my questions along the way. Dewa, my wonderful driver, took me to the water temple where I had a special morning getting cleansed in the holy waters. He also took amazing photos and we had great conversations during our drive.
Overall, it was an unforgettable stay and I was sad to leave and unable to extend my time there. I really hope to return in the future. Experiencing the spiritual side of Bali was truly incredible. ?♀️?

January 27, 2019 at 12:00 amI stumbled upon a little paradise in the rice fields, and it blew me away. The views, places, people, accommodation, and food were all incredible. I want to give a big shoutout to the reception team, Suyoga and Agun, for being so welcoming and helpful.
The kundalini yoga sessions and massages were absolutely perfect for rejuvenating. A special thanks to the SPA team, Iluh, Indra, and Ana, who always had smiles on their faces and listened to my needs.
To top it all off, I had the amazing surprise of visiting the Holy Water Temple with Komang. He not only drove me there but also guided me through the entire praying and purifying process, sharing the beautiful Balinese culture with me. He was truly attentive and caring.
I also have to mention the lovely team at the restaurant, Randi and Rima. The food selection was fantastic.

November 20, 2018 at 12:00 amFalse promises:
Helpful Review– Yoga: The yoga class felt more like a professor’s showcase rather than an actual yoga class. There was no coaching, it wasn’t suitable for beginners, and the professor didn’t come over to the participants to correct their mistakes or offer guidance.
– Meditation: They advertised it as a retreat, but there was only one meditation session throughout the five days. Can you really call that a retreat?!?!?
– Guru: Our program included a meeting with the guru. On the first night, they informed us that he couldn’t see us but would be available the next day. Then, on the second night, they told us he was in Ubud and we still couldn’t meet him. Finally, they informed us that he was flying to Australia the next day. All this was said with a smile and an apology, but what a disappointment!
– Room: We purposely booked a superior room to have a little something extra. Instead, we ended up in a room near the road and with a bathroom where you couldn’t take a shower without everything getting soaked! When we mentioned this to the reception, they said they would look for another room the next day because they were fully booked that day. We went back the next day, but without success… and of course, the staff apologized again!
– Organization: We were poorly informed about how to proceed with the treatments, like confirming beforehand. Additionally, they told us the shuttle schedules, but we ended up waiting for a long time! The place itself is beautiful, the staff is extremely welcoming, and the restaurant is nice. We also really enjoyed the massages and other treatments we received.

November 19, 2018 at 12:00 amAlthough it wasn’t impossible, walking to Ubud center was a bit too far along a busy road. So, I had to get a taxi, but thankfully it wasn’t expensive. There is a shuttle bus, but sometimes the timings didn’t match with my retreat activities. I really wanted the chance to do more yoga and maybe join some classes that weren’t part of my retreat schedule. The hotel’s gardens were absolutely beautiful, with lots of lovely little details, and the staff were always helpful, making me feel very welcome. The therapies were great, and the food was absolutely delicious! The yoga was different from what I’m used to, but it was really well done and interesting. The yoga teacher’s singing of Balinese mantras at the end of each class was absolutely stunning.

There must have been some miscommunications, they should make it clearer to their customers in the future. Other than that, everything was great! The staff was friendly, and the place was beautiful! It was a peaceful getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. We’ll definitely go back again. The food was amazing, it was included in the package and we looked forward to meal times every day! We felt so relaxed and rejuvenated after the trip! The location is about a 15-minute drive from Ubud city, but they offer free shuttle service a few times a week, so it’s not a problem!

October 16, 2018 at 12:00 amI loved staying in the Shakti Room at Om Ham, but there was one issue – there was no divider or shower curtain in the bathroom. So when I took a shower, some water droplets ended up on the toilet and bathroom floor. However, it wasn’t a big deal because they dried up quickly and there was a floor towel to wipe them.
The staff at Om Ham were wonderful – so friendly and accommodating. My Shakti Room was clean, dreamy, and peaceful. I especially loved the in-room spa flower bath arrangement. The yoghurt massage and rejuvenating facial that were included in my package were superb, as well as the additional treatments I added on like manicures, pedicures, and relaxation therapy. The welcome drink and tea before and after the treatment were refreshing.
The food and drinks at Tulsi Dining were absolutely delicious. The view of the rice paddies and the pool were breathtaking. The yoga class I joined, Blessing Kundalini Tantra Yoga, was on a Sunday and it was quite challenging, meant for advanced practitioners. But I enjoyed the challenge.
The airport transfer I added on was smooth and hassle-free. Overall, I had an amazing stay at Om Ham and I definitely plan on going back. I highly recommend it. Thanks to the team and to BookYogaRetreats for this fantastic package.

Here are a few things I absolutely loved about this place, in no specific order:
a) The overall atmosphere is so relaxed. It’s situated a bit outside the city, so it’s perfectly peaceful.
b) The restaurant has a beautiful view of the rice fields and the food options are fantastic. You have to try the fried mahi mahi with sambal and the cocoa pancakes.
c) The kundalini yoga classes are taught by experienced yet patient and kind teachers.
d) The pool area is well-maintained and it’s a great spot to chill and read.
e) Another cool thing is that they’re eco-friendly. They provide free water refills from water coolers and they even gave me a free organic bug spray that smelled amazing and didn’t have any harmful chemicals.
I highly recommend the Om Ham retreat program to any solo travelers out there. It’s the perfect mix of activities and free time. One day, I was so relaxed from the Rejuvenate bath (which I highly recommend) that I ended up sleeping through the yoga class. It’s a good problem to have!
Since my stay, I’ve been telling all my friends about Om Ham. It’s the ideal place for people who need a break from their busy lives and want to find balance again. And you can bet that I’ll be returning myself.

December 8, 2017 at 12:00 amOn the first day, I was given a schedule that had more free time gaps than activities. There was only one yoga class per day (if at all). I was also the only person doing a retreat there…
I attended yoga classes with three different teachers. Two of them, in my opinion, were just awful.
On the second evening, I had a “motivational talk” with Master Ketut Arsana. I was draped in a white cloth around my hips and a yellow cloth around my shoulders by a young lady, and led through a dark path away from the hotel area to a hut where the Master was sitting on an elevated seat, awaiting questions. After a baptismal-like ritual and a drink from him, it all seemed very cult-like or Tantra-community to me.
I felt extremely uncomfortable there, so I decided to cancel the retreat after two nights and book somewhere else. When the reception found out about my plan, they tried to prevent any phone contact.
Luckily, I spent the rest of my vacation at a different yoga retreat where I felt much better taken care of. Unlike the Om Ham Center, they had yoga and meditation twice a day, workshops, cultural excursions, 25 other participants from around the world, and a healthy atmosphere. The restaurant and coffee area were charmingly decorated, and the staff was very attentive. The food was decent too.
For hotel guests not doing a retreat, this place might be suitable as the infrastructure (rooms, pool, yoga rooms, restaurant) is well-maintained and the staff extremely helpful. However, I would strongly advise against it for a yoga retreat!
Master Ketut Arsana’s yoga class was good in itself, except I found out he only teaches once a week for an hour.

October 27, 2017 at 12:00 amI was expecting more yoga each day, but the morning session was a bit shorter. Maybe it’s because there weren’t many people there. The resort was clean and perfectly equipped. The food was delicious, healthy, and there was plenty of it. I highly recommend the restaurant! The view was stunning and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The treatments were extremely professional. I’ve never had such good massages or felt so well taken care of. Thank you, Yuliana! I really believe that the staff at Om Ham Retreat make all the difference. Everyone, from housekeeping to the spa staff to the reception and restaurant staff, was more than friendly and tried their best to make your stay pleasant and relaxing. The yoga and meditation classes were also very good.

October 22, 2017 at 12:00 amDuring our second yoga session, bongos played in the grass area the whole time, making it hard to relax. The motivational talk was basically the master asking if we had questions, which didn’t make much sense. They should explain that activity better to guests. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The pool area was amazing and perfect for relaxing.

September 14, 2017 at 12:00 amC’est dommage que le maître n’ait pu être là que le dernier jour et finalement n’ait pas apporté grand chose à la discussion. Le cours de yoga était vraiment bien, même s’il était différent de ce à quoi on est habitué. Le prof était super, et le rapport qualité-prix était excellent. Les activités supplémentaires, comme la visite de l’ashram et la purification au temple, étaient très intéressantes et enrichissantes.

We really enjoyed the time and care that was taken to make sure we had everything we needed at the Ashram Yoga Retreat Center. The atmosphere was just lovely! The staff did a great job, and we absolutely loved the fresh fruits, gourmet meals, and spa services. I am truly grateful for the amazing experience I had at Om Ham. Can’t wait to go back again soon!

August 28, 2017 at 12:00 amThere aren’t really any negatives. The only thing to watch out for is if you happen to coincide with a big organized group at the hotel, like I did on my last day. It can take away from the peaceful and immersive atmosphere of the hotel. But that’s the case at any hotel, really. The peace and energy of this place are truly magical. The staff, therapists, and yoga teachers are the warmest, friendliest, and most adorable people I’ve ever met. The location is perfect; it’s removed enough from the touristy hubbub of Ubud, which can be overwhelming. This retreat was perfect for relaxation and recharging my batteries. And I got an unexpected bonus of a spiritual experience – meeting the guru and taking part in a regular ashram ceremony. It was pure magic!

August 26, 2017 at 12:00 amWe just feel that a 5-day holiday is a bit short. My mum suggested we spend 7 or 8 days in Om Ham every summer. We’re excited! Thanks!!! The staff here are friendly and helpful. My mum, aunt, and I really love Om Ham! The swimming pool water is clean and natural, without any chemical smell. It’s a peaceful place with a variety of plants and insects in the garden. The food is delicious. The detox soup is great for cleansing. We drink ginger tea with honey every day, and the fruit juice is so tasty! The spa therapists are excellent, and the drivers are cool. Thanks for everything!

August 13, 2017 at 12:00 amI was surprised to see parents with children here! It felt more like a holiday resort. In the evening, there was a lot of noise in the room above me with whining little kids and loud cartoons on the TV. Pretty annoying for a peaceful yoga retreat!
The options for attending yoga classes were very limited. I was expecting to be able to join classes whenever I felt like it. Plus, there was no variety, only Kundalini yoga was offered.
I absolutely loved the service! I felt really special and spoiled during my stay. The staff was wonderful, helpful, and friendly. The food was great, and the quality of the yoga lessons and teachers was top-notch.

August 9, 2017 at 12:00 amThis family hotel is actually run by an ashram, not a yoga retreat. They have packages they try to sell you on. The website promised classes, but they weren’t offered. And if there weren’t enough people signed up, they would cancel them. I wanted a break, but ended up having to ask for things that were supposed to be included. I came here to connect with others on a yoga retreat, but ended up feeling lonely and isolated.
There was another retreat happening with an Italian group that seemed to take over the yoga studio. The location is far from Ubud and the shuttle times are inconvenient, especially if you want to eat dinner in town.
In short, this place is not really a yoga retreat. There’s not enough yoga or planned activities. On the plus side, the quiet location outside of Ubud was peaceful. It was nice to be in a small village and see the rice farmers working.

July 29, 2017 at 12:00 amThe curtains didn’t block out the outside lights, so they were shining into the room. You could hear everything your neighbors were up to, making it tough to get some shut-eye. The overall experience and value for money exceeded our expectations.

The food they serve is amazing – you get a three-course dinner and a two-course lunch with tons of options to choose from. The room is big and spotless. And the staff? Super friendly.

July 18, 2017 at 12:00 amI couldn’t think of one now… I spent four days and three nights there, staying inside the compound almost the entire time (except for one night when I went to the opposite Ashram). If you’re seeking a peaceful escape, this is the ideal spot. You can sleep and wake up next to lush paddy fields, with minimal traffic and just a few motorbike noises during the day. It’s the perfect place to relax, practice yoga, and dive into a good book!
Helpful ReviewKarla Brom
July 17, 2017 at 12:00 amI attended a yoga retreat at this place and I have to say, it’s not really like any other yoga retreats I’ve been to before. It’s more of a resort that offers yoga. There’s wifi and television, so people are glued to their screens all the time – even at breakfast and by the pool. The type of yoga they teach, kundalini, is quite specific and the instructors are pretty advanced. Unfortunately, they didn’t offer much in the way of instructions, so beginners were left feeling lost (and there were quite a few in my class). It would have been better if the instructors were better at teaching and had stronger English skills. Also, I was under the impression that my package included 2 yoga classes a day, but it turned out there was only one class offered per day. In terms of the service, food, and setting, they were all top-notch – just 15 minutes away from Ubud.

July 16, 2017 at 12:00 amIn the United States, I teach yoga in various styles. Many instructors in the past have seemed to expect students to copy their exact movements, which wasn’t my cup of tea. Yoga should be a personal practice, not a follow-the-leader situation. Plus, some instructors were too pushy about forcing students into poses that might not be right for everyone.
When it comes to food, watch out for any allergens or restrictions. I’m lactose intolerant and repeatedly told the staff “no cheese,” yet somehow I kept getting served cheese dishes. There weren’t many options to choose from, and I ended up paying extra for what little there was.
I had an amazing massage experience, with every therapist being fantastic. However, I wouldn’t recommend getting a mani-pedi there, as things seemed a bit unsanitary.

June 7, 2017 at 12:00 amI found the long yoga classes a little exhausting, but maybe that’s my own fault for not researching the type of yoga beforehand and not being fit enough. But hey, at least we had the long massages and pool to recover after class! The staff, who were all locals, were all so friendly and accommodating. We had yoga every day, which was exactly what I was looking for. All but one class was very small and intimate, with people of a similar beginner level to me – perfect! The room was amazing, especially the bed. It was a perfect little getaway not far from the busy centre of Ubud. I absolutely loved the food and made some great friends. The 4-night package is definitely too short!

June 5, 2017 at 12:00 amThere isn’t much to complain about. But if I had to give some advice, I’d suggest adding more options to the breakfast buffet. Also, it would be nice to have the option of doing yoga before breakfast instead of after. I really appreciated how everything was connected – the treatments, activities, and food. I loved that they used herbs and flowers from their own garden for both the food and treatments. It added a great spiritual element to the experience.

June 1, 2017 at 12:00 amA large group of loud, inconsiderate women practically took over the entire restaurant for every meal.

April 4, 2017 at 12:00 am1) The reception staff kept giving us the wrong information.
1) We asked for the yoga instructor on 29.03.2017 (Wed) morning to teach again on 30.03.2017 (Thurs) because we really like him. The staff said no because a lady yoga instructor from Australia was scheduled for Thursday. However, the lady didn’t show up and a different guy ended up teaching.
2) The staff told us the foot massage was 1 hour, but it was only 15 mins, throwing off our schedule. He promised to book us a body and foot massage for 1pm, but it was delayed until 2pm instead.
