From open-air classes in Ubud to ocean-view shalas in Uluwatu, here are Bali’s best yoga studios & cool classes to get your “Om” on…

Do you know your Ashtanga from your Kundalini? Or your Iyengar from your Bhakti? Whether you’re a dedicated yogi or a total beginner on the mat, Bali has long been the place to practice the art of yoga. With its peaceful and paradisal surrounds, its spiritual vibes and wide open spaces for saluting to the warm Bali sun, the Island of the Gods is a yogi’s playground – and Bali’s best yoga studios are no different.

From hip and happening yoga classes in Canggu and Seminyak, to traditional and ancient practices in Ubud and Sanur, we’ve stretched and flowed our way across the island to bring you the very best yoga studios in Bali. And to help you decide which one is right for you (are you a Yin yogi or a hot yoga buff?) we’ve also included each studio’s specialty, plus the level of practitioner they cater to. Namaste, Honeys!

The best yoga studios in Bali: CANGGU

Guan Yin Yoga Shala

Named after the Goddess of Compassion, Guan Yin Yoga Shala is where you go to seek peace and to nurture your body and mind. For starters, it’s primely located within the Indonesia-inspired Hotel Tugu Bali, surrounded by lush gardens and cooled by an ocean breeze. The studio itself offers a calming, oasis-like atmosphere, courtesy of the high ceiling, thatched roof and the hundred year old statues (one of which is the 120+ year old statue of Guan Yin herself) and Balinese carvings. Choose from Yang-based yoga (Hatha, Vinyasa or Ashtanga), or Yin and restorative yoga – whichever you fancy, the certified teachers will help you release any pesky energy blockages…

Best for: Those seeking a reprieve from the hustle and bustle in a traditional Balinese setting.
