Where to stay near The Yoga Barn
A friend had recommended this place to me long before I visited Bali. I overheard more than one person say they chose their accommodation based on its proximity to The Yoga Barn, just as I had.
If you’re also looking for a hostel, guest house or hotel near The Yoga Barn, you have a variety of options. Here are some recommendations:
A great budget-friendly option is the superb Puri Garden Hotel & Hostel. This stylish and cozy hostel with a pool offers free yoga and breakfast. It’s a five minutes’ walk to Yoga Barn.
Mid-range options include Alaya Resort Ubud, a fabulous boutique resort set in lush gardens. It also has an on-site spa and top-tier service. From here it’s just two minutes on foot to Yoga Barn. If you’re looking for a tranquil stay overlooking rice fields, check out Biyukukung Suites & Spa. It’s only six minutes away from Yoga Barn.

Where to find The Yoga Barn
Accessed by an almost hidden path from one of Ubud’s main roads, The Yoga Barn is set in its own green oasis.
It’s natural wooden buildings and terraces, set among ponds and wildlife, reflect its rustic name. The croaking and squawking of various creatures provide a cheerful accompaniment to the early morning classes.
The address is Jalan Sukma Kesuma in Ubud. You can find it on Google Maps here.
What is The Yoga Barn?
When I arrived at The Yoga Barn, I discovered it is the place to be for any yoga fan or the yoga-curious – and one of the main social epicentres of Ubud.
Not strictly a resort, it offers rooms for the people attending its well-received detox retreats, who receive specially tailored yoga and meditation programmes.
What classes are offered at The Yoga Barn?
With a comprehensive, well-priced drop-in class schedule from 7am to 7.30pm every day, this yoga and healing centre offers something to suit everyone.
A wide range of yoga styles and levels is complemented by sound healing, qi gong, capoeira, ecstatic dance, meditation, bodywork and kirtan sessions, as well as a fortnightly Monday movie night.
A range of card options allow discounts for multiple class purchases. The classes I have attended have sometimes been a little crowded, owing to the centre’s popularity, but the charismatic and knowledgeable teachers have been able to hold the space.
There is also a schedule of workshops from visiting teachers, from an introduction to the Law of Attraction (which I attended – just waiting now for my dream plans to manifest), to a short course exploring Tantra, as well as holistic healing facilities and an on-site Ayurveda centre.
Do I need to bring a yoga mat?
No, they are provided. Some of the mats are a little tired and aren’t regularly cleaned after each class, but you are also free to bring your own.
The Yoga Barn provides all the accoutrement you could need: blocks, straps, bolsters, tennis balls (to place under your hips and buttocks during yin yoga) and cosy blankets.
Does The Yoga Barn have a restaurant?
Yes. The Yoga Barn’s on-site restaurant is called Garden Kafe. It’s the younger sibling of the popular Kafe on Hanoman Street and serves delicious healthy dishes and tempting cakes.
Additionally, each studio has its own water cooler where you can refill your water bottle. This is a nice touch, as it helps cut down the number of plastic bottles in Bali.
What else do I need to know about The Yoga Barn?
The Yoga Barn has become something of an institution as the place for the best yoga in Ubud.
Its founders launched the popular Bali Spirit Festival which takes over the town every spring. This year it’s from 7-11 May 2025.
They also have an informal notice board where anyone can post their event. Local news is also shared after the Friday night ecstatic dance class.
All of this adds to the informal, sociable and welcoming atmosphere.
Final thoughts on the best yoga in Ubud
There is an increasing number of options for yoga lovers in Ubud.
The sleek and friendly Radiantly Alive yoga centre offers a selection of classes and workshops, including a great introduction to Vinyasa. Also, there’s the Intuitive Flow studio on the outskirts of town in Penestanan.
However I can’t see The Yoga Barn’s popularity dying down any time soon, especially as it has adeptly taken on its role as a social and community hub.
I will definitely visit The Yoga Barn again and I highly recommend you do too.
