Yoga might have originated in India hundreds of years ago, but it’s the beautiful island of Bali that’s become the yogi’s preferred destination in the region. It’s the texture of spirituality, as much as the physical beauty of the island, that makes Bali an ideal sanctuary for learning and practicing yoga. It offers the perfect balance between the possibilities for connecting with the yogi community and the right to privacy when you’d rather retreat into silence.

The sense of true inner peace found in Bali’s light breezes resonates from the daily rituals and humble devotion of its people. The Balinese people practice Bhakti, an unconditional gratitude for life that permanently resides in the heart.

So if you prefer your yoga in an intimate group setting, then the herd mentality here might overwhelm.

Radiantly Alive, Ubud

This yoga studio is often compared to The Yoga Barn.The eco-hip concepts are similar, except Radiantly Alive has only two yoga studio, the classes are smaller and more intimate but – and this is a big but for yogis on a budget – it’s pricier. Not for the yogi who makes a living selling dream catchers. Each treatment is tailored for your individual needs and is composed of the most powerful and direct methods to heal, restore and improve your Radiance. The place does exactly what it says on the tin! Intuitive Flow, Ubud Yoga teacher Linda Madani is known for being emotionally intense, occasionally bursting into tears in the middle of her studio. First timers either love her approach, which involves lots of chanting that’s intended to heal the spirit, or they find themselves wishing they could leave. It’s certainly an authentic and alternative experience that takes a “let it all out†approach to healing as opposed to those eerie silent journeys of other studios.

In keeping with the holistic nautical theme, the studio is built entirely out of bamboo and shaped like a green turtle’s back.

Group sizes are small and the studio has a casual atmosphere – all to make your learning experience easy.
