A Real Pause, Not a Holiday
Life moves fast. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is stop, breathe, and come back to yourself.
Our yoga retreat in Bali is a real pause — not a holiday, not a fitness programme. It is a dedicated space in the spiritual heart of Ubud, Bali, where you slow down, move your body, clear your mind, and leave feeling like yourself again. Loved the retreat and want to teach? Continue with our Bali yoga teacher training programs.
Our ubud yoga retreat programs run every month, starting on the 1st, and last between 3 and 21 days. Whether you have never tried yoga before or you have been practising for years, there is a place for you here. Every programme includes daily yoga classes, breathwork, meditation, fresh vegetarian meals, comfortable accommodation, and guided visits to Bali’s most sacred sites — all for one transparent price. Prefer Ayurveda focus? See our ayurveda retreat in Bali. Prefer India? Try our yoga and meditation retreat in Rishikesh.
We are a Yoga Alliance accredited school, rooted in traditional Himalayan wisdom. When you join a retreat with us, you are not booking a room in a beautiful location. You are stepping into a practice that has been taught for decades, led by teachers who have spent years in the discipline they share with you. Bringing a group? See host your retreat in Bali.

Everyone’s schedule is different. Some have a long weekend between work trips. Some have three weeks and nowhere they need to be. Some are passing through Bali and want to use the time well. That is why we offer customised retreat durations — 3, 5, 7, 14 and 21 days. Each one is a complete programme, not a shortened version of something longer.
Start Dates: Any date — rolling enrolment, year-round.

Is This Retreat For You?
We have welcomed guests from over 60 countries to our Samadhi Yoga Ashram Bali retreat. Teachers, doctors, students, designers, parents, executives, and complete beginners — people at every stage of life and every level of yoga experience.
No two of them arrived for exactly the same reason. But most of them said something similar when they left — that they had not felt so clear, so rested, or so much like themselves in a very long time. That is who this retreat is for. Anyone who is ready to feel that way again.
Our Yoga Retreat in Bali Is Best Suited For:
You are good at your job and that is the problem. Your mind does not stop when your laptop closes. This retreat gives you a structured break where the only thing you need to do is show up — no decisions, no emails, just enough stillness to actually rest.
You practise regularly but something has gone quiet. It feels more like routine than progress. Our teachers go deeper — into alignment, breathwork, and the philosophy behind the practice. You will leave feeling reconnected to why you started.
You are about to make a big change or you just came out of one. You need space to think clearly. The rhythm of the retreat — morning yoga, communal meals, evening meditation — gives your mind the quiet it needs to find direction.
You have thought about yoga for a while but kept talking yourself out of it. You are ready. Our teachers start from the very beginning. No competition, no comparison, no experience needed. Some of our best guests almost did not book.
You are happy travelling alone but you want to meet real people. The retreat naturally builds a close group. You practise together, eat together, and explore Bali together. Most guests feel like they have known each other for weeks by day three.
You want to come home different — stronger, clearer, more like yourself. Daily yoga, meditation, and sacred site visits give you something a regular holiday never does.
If you do not fall into any of the above categories but are looking for a physical challenge, a mental detox, or a spiritual homecoming — there is a seat for you at our table.
Inclusion · Exclusion · What to Bring
A Balanced Rhythm of Practice and Rest
Every day at the retreat has a rhythm. At Samadhi Yoga Ashram, our daily schedule is intentionally crafted to honour the natural cycles of your energy — balancing the solar energy of active morning movement with the lunar energy of introspection and rest in the evening. This is a sample flow of your day in Bali — a predictable, calming structure that lets you stop making decisions and start simply being.
The Samadhi Difference
There are hundreds of yoga retreats in Bali. Beautiful villas, infinity pools and Instagram-worthy shalas are everywhere. What most of them cannot offer is what we have spent decades building — a genuine teaching lineage, Yoga Alliance accreditation, teachers with real depth, and a programme designed with the same precision as a professional yoga teacher training. We are not a resort that added yoga classes. We are a yoga school with over 15 years of experience, rooted in the traditional teachings of Rishikesh, now brought to the spiritual landscape of Ubud, Bali.
Every teacher at Samadhi Yoga Ashram holds an E-RYT 500 certification and brings decades of practice to the mat — not a seasonal contract. When someone with that depth teaches you, you feel it from the very first session.
Yoga is a complete system for living. Our retreats include philosophy, pranayama and meditation alongside asana — because posture work alone is only a fraction of what yoga actually is.
One price covers everything — accommodation, all meals, daily yoga, and excursions. What is not included, we tell you upfront. No surprises at checkout.
Every guest arrives not knowing anyone. Every guest leaves with a group of people who understand exactly what they went through. The community formed during the retreat is often cited as one of the most valuable parts of the experience.
A good holiday leaves you rested. A good retreat leaves you different. The breathing techniques, the morning routine and the stillness you find here do not stay behind when you leave. Most guests tell us the biggest shift showed up weeks later — in how they sleep, how they handle pressure, and how they move through their days.
Our Facility - Samadhi Yoga Ashram
A retreat is only as good as the rest it allows. At Samadhi Yoga Ashram, every room is designed with one quiet intention — to give you the kind of sleep that genuinely restores you. Every meal, every space, every detail is shaped to support a body and mind in retreat.
Twin-bed room with attached bathroom — ideal for couples or close friends, offering comfort and quiet for deeper personal practice.
Your own private retreat with attached bathroom — maximum solitude for deep practice and uninterrupted rest. Available at a small additional cost.
Sattvic, fully-vegetarian meals — fresh, organic and locally sourced. The menu rotates so no two days feel the same. Allergies and dietary needs accommodated on request.
Beyond the Mat · Explore the Island of the Gods
Step beyond the shala and into Bali's wider landscape. During your retreat you will visit Pura Tirta Empul — the sacred water temple built in 926 AD where Balinese come to purify body and spirit — and walk through the Tegallalang rice terraces, whose structure and irrigation have been maintained by community cooperation for centuries. These optional excursions are arranged around the retreat's quieter days.
Step away from the mat and onto the soft sands of Bali’s breathtaking beaches. Whether it’s sunrise meditation by the ocean or a sunset visit to a hidden cove, the rhythm of the waves brings your awareness inward and seals your practice with elemental peace.
A 1,000-year-old Hindu temple famed for its sacred spring water, where Balinese Hindus perform melukat — a traditional purification ritual. Step into the holy pools, receive the cleansing flow over your head, and feel the same devotional energy that Indian temples carry.
Walk through Bali’s emerald rice paddies — the iconic Tegalalang terraces near Ubud cascade down the hillside in graceful curves. Built using the ancient Subak irrigation system (a UNESCO heritage), they offer a meditative immersion in the rhythm of nature, sky and earth.
Wander through ancient temples nestled inside a lush jungle home to hundreds of long-tailed macaques in the heart of Ubud. The sanctuary embodies the Balinese principle of Tri Hita Karana — harmony between humans, nature and the divine.
Guided by Practising Teachers
Our teachers at Samadhi Yoga Ashram Bali are not instructors hired for one season. They are practitioners who have spent years — often decades — in the discipline they are sharing with you. Each one holds an E-RYT 500 certification and brings a depth of practice and lineage that you feel from the very first session.

My 14-day retreat at Samadhi Yoga Ashram was exactly what I needed — the daily yoga, pranayama and meditation gradually unwound a year of stress. The pace felt natural, never demanding. I left rested and clear in a way I had not felt in years.

I came alone for the 7-day retreat, slightly nervous about it. By day three, the small group felt like old friends. The teachers were attentive without being intrusive. The Ganga Aarti, the food, the simplicity — everything was real.

A 21-day immersion that became one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. Daily Hatha, philosophy discussions, Ayurvedic consultations and quiet excursions along the Ganga. I returned home with a personal practice that has lasted.

As a working professional, I needed a real break, not another holiday. The 7-day retreat gave my mind a structure where the only job was showing up. I came back genuinely lighter, clearer and more focused at work.
