Our Insiders Guide to Ubud & Pejeng

It's a yoga cliché that when in Ubud you need to do a yoga class at The Yoga Barn. But there's a reason why -
it's a beautiful structure next to pretty rice fields, with excellent local and international teachers, and classes
throughout the day. Everyone is welcome - there are many first-time practitioners there.
Another undeniably beautiful destination (although considerably pricier), is the new dharma barn at the 5-star

architectural awards - and the rice field location doesn't hurt either! It's best to pre-arrange a class here.
