Yoga Retreat in August

Canggu has the highest density of serious yoga studios and retreat centers outside of India. Styles range from Ashtanga to Yin, with week-long immersions, 200hr teacher trainings, and day-drop-in options all within a few square kilometers.

Ubud is the cultural and spiritual heartland of Bali, a highland village ringed by terraced rice paddies, ancient temples, and a practitioner community that has been attracting seekers since the 1970s. Today it hosts some of Asia's most respected yoga shalas, Ayurvedic clinics, and meditation retreat centers. The cooler mountain air, vegetarian-friendly food scene, and near-total absence of beach distractions make it easier to sustain a real practice here rather than a holiday dabble. The concentration of world-class teachers, many of whom relocate to Ubud permanently, means the depth of instruction available far exceeds what most Western cities can offer.

Retreat centres in the White Mountains foothills sit at altitude in chestnut forest, well away from the coast resorts.
