Located in the heart of bustling downtown Ubud, The Yoga Barn is a welcoming tropical oasis that has been an anchor for the global yoga community since 2007, when it humbly opened its gates, with only one simple studio on the edge of a raging river. The spirit of The Yoga Barn is intrinsically led by the depth of Balinese culture & spirituality, blessed by the Hindu and animistic traditions of Bali, and embraced by the healing medicine of Ubud. The Yoga Barn’s expansion over the years into a ‘global yoga epicenter’ has been in direct response to the demands of the student and is fueled by the passion and positive intentions of all the faculty and staff who participate in keeping the magic alive, daily. Currently, The Yoga Barn is known as one of the top wellness & yoga centers in the world, as an oasis for learning, self-discovery, wellness, healing, rejuvenation and inner transformation. With 11 studios, The Yoga Barn offers over 100 classes a week in yoga, meditation, dance, healing, satsangs and seminars, health and wellness sessions such as body treatments, water therapy and more. The studios are famously known for their tropical environment which cultivates an ‘in nature’ connection, an aspect and feeling that is unique to The Yoga Barn experience. In addition to classes, The Yoga Barn hosts international teachers offering workshops, retreats and teacher trainings all year round.
