Ubuntu Bali Eco Yoga Retreat - CANGGU

Ubuntu was the perfect setting for my personal weeklong immersion in Mysore practice and self-care. The yoga space was absolutely stunning, and the Mysore teacher Andrea was caring and knowledgeable. Other yoga classes (yin/restorative) were also taught with care.

Best location, close enough to the busy areas but far enough to feel at peace and super relaxed once you arrive to Ubuntu! The staff was also genuinely friendly and caring! Food was delicious and the yoga amazing!

Nothing really, the path to Ubuntu is a bit small for cars to drive in, so would have been good to know this ahead for taxis etc!

I stayed at Ubuntu Retreat for about three weeks while I did my YTT (at a different shala). I do not usually write reviews, but I have a lot of good things to say and would like more people to have the same experience. I booked my YTT in Canggu and underestimated how chaotic, overdeveloped, and noisy it can be. The course was excellent, but the location was terrible for me, both the shala and the area. I stayed a week in a villa in the heart of Canggu and seriously considered leaving the YTT. The facilities were below average and the constant noise and stimulation affected my sleep, my practice, and my focus. I am not sure how I found Ubuntu, but I am glad I did. It is a good reminder that two places only a couple of kilometres apart can feel completely different. Once I moved to Ubuntu, my whole experience changed. I wish the YTT had been there, because going back to Ubuntu each day felt like a proper retreat. I could list the basics like the quiet setting, rice fields, cleanliness, comfortable beds, and the cafe being excellent value, but that still does not explain what made it stand out. What made the difference was the people. Clear communication over WhatsApp, a handwritten note on arrival, and genuine conversations with staff that went beyond the usual. They also let me use the shala to practise my own sequences, which I appreciated. This place is not for everyone. No robe or plastic toiletries. When it rains it can get muddy, and there are geckos and mosquitoes. There are no TVs or late night music, and if you need reception at 11 pm, room service, or a resort setup, you will be happier elsewhere. You will also likely need a scooter. If those things important to you, there are plenty of places in Canggu. If you want a place with values and a good heart, Ubuntu delivers.
