This was a decent place to stay, but I highly recommend not booking a retreat here. You’re better off just attending a yoga class. Sadly this “retreat” was poorly unorganized, overpriced, and lacked basic communication skills. This was advertised as a yoga massage retreat. My first massage was on the floor, no face cradle/head rest, just my head turned to the side. The second massage was in a room they had left closed all day with no fan or AC going. It was a sauna massage. I politely declined the 3rd as I had been through enough torture at that point. The schedule was inconsistent and kept changing, none of the times were correct. The day excursion they had planned was actually not included. You will have to pay entrance fees and for your own lunch… none of this was communicated. You did not get to pick where you went or the restaurant. The driver told me this the day of on the way there. This was not worth close $900 USD for the 6 days especially not in Bali. Definitely take a class there, but skip the “retreat”.

I had a wonderful stay at Ubuntu this May with my son. We were so well looked after and were made to feel at home. We particularly enjoyed the yoga classes with Andrea. She has great intuition for how to help your practice just the right amount in Mysore. It was also very nice to be in a tranquil setting. I hope to come back sometime!

I spent an incredible week at Ubuntu for a yoga & coaching retreat.The different yoga classes that I was able to take part in were really very qualitative.I loved this little haven of peace where you quickly feel at home. Whether it is a bungalow, shala, garden, swimming pool or even the dining area, everything is very soft and warm.The staff are both welcoming and attentive.As for coaching with Andrea, I really appreciated all the moments shared. Her gentleness, her listening, her relevance and the multitude of keys she offered me, helped me a lot to free myself from certain weights and to continue my journey towards my quest for personal development :)In short, my time at Ubuntu was very refreshing.Thanks again for everything ☺️

I had the most wonderful experience being life coached by Andrea. She has so much warmth in her heart and her eyes. I arrived to Bali very nervous and anxious and she went above and beyond to make me feel safe, welcome and supported. She gave me advice, lent me books, provided me with emotional support and gave me practical tips that helped me HUGELY. I cant recommend her enough. I’ve made a friend for life and i feel privileged to have met such a genuinely wonderful soul.

Truly wonderful teachers and lovely place to practice. Damien and Andrea are very knowledgable and helped me a lot in the short time I visited. You can tell they have a great insight in anatomy and biomechanics as they gave me personalized modification for my practice due to soreness in the knees.Also the staff is great, Vita and Tari are very lovely and eager to help you with questions like scooter rental, surf lessons and everything else. I had a little bout of Bali Belly during my stay (not because of food at Ubuntu) and was very well taken care of by Vita.All in all just an amazing time, will definitely be back for a longer stay..already looking forward to it!

A yoga shala in the pure nature which you don’t find nomore in canggu. They have 7 bungalows swimming pool 2 shalas and a cafe. I’ve been going there for 2 years and I’ve just finished our yoga teacher training. The knowledge and wisdom of the 2 head teachers Damien and Andrea will blow your mind and it ll take years to digest and decompose all of them. They are great facilitator of yoga retreats from aboard. Food from their cafe is so delicious. Niki the creator of the menu she is a genius and her passion contribute so much to it. There are. Big wooden shala and a petite clay shala. They are both so pretty but in different ways. Thank you team I will see u guys soon.

I had an amazing experience at Ubuntu Bali, where I completed two intensive courses in Ayurveda and Yoga Philosophy. This space is truly unique in Canggu for anyone passionate about yoga and its deeper teachings. It's more than just asanas here—Ubuntu is about embracing the true values of yoga. Damien and Andrea, the incredible yoga teachers, share their wisdom and create a family-like atmosphere that makes the experience even more special. If you're looking for a place to connect with yoga beyond the physical practice, Ubuntu Bali is the perfect home.With love , Eva ❤️🧘♀️🪷

The staff were so wonderfully welcoming. Even leaving me a lovely note with directions and a lovely dog to welcome me as I checked in after the check-in times.The yoga was great for me (a beginner) and for all levels. With a very helpful instructor who didn't make me feel pressured when I needed to take breaks.The beds were big and comfy with mosquito nets.Lovely location which was very peaceful and quiet.Food was also great and healthy and such a good price booking room, breakfast and yoga all included.Would highly recommend.

This is a wonderful yoga shala that's also an eco retreat. They have excellent Mysore and ashtanga classes, with a wide range of other offerings, including ecstatic dance, across two beautiful semi-open studios set in lush tropical gardens (with a pool). The cafe serves great vegetarian and vegan food. The 2-week intensives and their yoga teacher training were some of the most rewarding things I've done, and if you'd like to spend a week, a fortnight, or a month developing your yoga practice, it's hard to think of a better place to do it.Damien de Bastier, one of the owners, learned ashtanga from K. Pattabhi Jois, who created it, rocket from Larry Schultz, who created it, and also trained with Richard Freeman and a wealth of specialist gurus. The other owner, Andrea Drottholm, is a level 2 certified ashtanga teacher. There's a relaxed and open approach that makes this, IMO, the best place on Bali to practice ashtanga.

Ubuntu Bali, a lush and serene getaway in the heart of Canggu. The situation is so tranquil and calming. This is the best yoga shala I’ve ever been to in Canggu! Spacious and surrounded by the calming breeze of the trees here!Special credit goes to Ms. Tari, she’s very kind, caring and helpful 😍🥰 she makes this place even more enjoyable. If you’re ever in doubt, you can ask her about anything!!Plus point for the gender neutral toilet 😆👍🏻❤️🧡💛💚🩷

Beautiful rooms, food, staff and environment.If you are looking for authentic ashtanga instruction in an authentic and inclusive community Ubuntu is definately the place.The yoga is exceptional and the teachers are extremely experienced and welcoming. I have come to Bali many times for their instruction over the years and I will continue to at Ubuntu. This is the real deal.

Stayed here before moving on to a yoga retreat and it was exactly what I needed. I tried ashtanga yoga for the first time and fell in love, Tai was amazing and I felt really empowered being in her class. I tried Mysore yoga for the first time to and even though I didn’t know what I was doing Andrea talked me through it and was a fantastic teacher, I’m excited to try that again with more knowledge now. The location was nice and the rooms were beautiful, I loved the outdoor bathrooms! There was a good choice on the menu in the cafe especially for the breakfast. I can’t forget to mention how incredible Surya is, she gives the best massages!! Don’t miss out on her whilst staying at the hotel!

I was practicing Ashtanga Mysore with Damien and Andrea for almost 4 months. It’s a beautiful peaceful Shala, great spirit from the teachers as well as the perfect combination from traditional Ashtanga and adjusting to personal needs.I loved it so much to practice at Ubuntu with you.Thank you Andrea, thank you Damien.

Damien and Andrea have created such a wonderful, magical place here. I was fortunate to be their student for many years, and I find myself returning to Bali just to see them again. Their unique teaching approach sets them apart, and they have an incredible talent for fostering a warm and supportive community. Their studio is quiet and beautiful, offering a perfect space to deeply immerse yourself in your yoga practice. I highly recommend it for both beginners and experienced practitioners.

I had an amazing two-week experience at Ubuntu with Damien and everyone there. I attended the Ayurveda Yoga retreat with 7 other yogis, and we all became friends with each other at the end of the course, with lots of tears and laughs! It’s a very loving environment from not only all of the Ubuntis but also everyone who comes with a beautiful open heart. Things I learned from this course was not only about yoga, but also have been an art of living integrated into my daily life. I can’t say enough of this lovely place but just want to recommend it to everyone who are practicing or want to practice yoga. You will fall in love with this place immediately and don’t want to leave anymore!

I had the pleasure of meeting Andrea at Ubuntu for some life coaching sessions over the last few months, and I am really grateful for the experience.She was able to pick through some of the key areas in my life which I was trying to work through, and provided some great insights and tools to optimise my approach/perspectives.Ubuntu is such a peaceful space in amidst the flow of Canggu, and a tranquil escape for the soul :)Makasih 🙏🏽
