Ubuntu Bali

Ubuntu Bali Ubuntu is a community center with a focus on yogic studies, lifeskills and sustainability

Ubuntu Bali is an Eco Yoga Academy set in a permaculture garden where we invite the local community and visitors to join together. We offer Ashtanga Yoga classes, yoga and art courses, retreats, and accommodation on site. Ubuntu wants to be a gathering of great minds and big hearts diving together in the ocean of yoga, where you can join short or long term programs to learn the traditional tools to enhance the quality of your life. Through Art and Yoga we invite you to cultivate your curiosity, spark your creativity and breathe fresh inspiration in your day.. We are specialised in Ashtanga Yoga and combine over 45 years of yogic studies.. We work with the international community and can support you directly in Indonesian, Spanish, French, German, Hungarian, Swedish and of course English. Our Accommodations are 7 beautiful wood cottages spread out in a lush garden where you can even learn permaculture. A hidden sanctuary next to a river and bamboo forest where you can connect with yourself and find inner peace.

Wanted to share a little corner of Ubuntu we don't show enough: our garden. 🌿

We believe the way we care for the land reflects the way we care for each other. At Ubuntu, we integrate permaculture principles into how we tend this space, not just as a philosophy we talk about, but something we try to live out, starting with the soil.

Our custodians show up for this garden every day: quietly, consistently, the same way good community gets built. Walk through it on any morning and you'll find papaya still on the tree, something flowering you hadn't noticed before, and something else quietly ready for its season. The soil here is alive, tended without chemicals, listened to more than managed. No shortcuts, just patience and attention over time.

These plants grow just steps from where you'll practice, sit, and eat. That closeness is intentional. Even when what's growing here doesn't always make it directly onto your plate, it shapes the energy of everything we prepare and the space you walk into.

Tending this garden is part of the same practice as what happens on the mat: presence, patience, and paying attention to what's alive right now. Whether you're here for yoga, a meal, or just a quiet coffee, it's all connected.

Have you spent time in a garden lately? There's something it does to the nervous system that's hard to explain but easy to feel.

Some meals are meant to be shared.🥗

Here at Ubuntu Café, we open our doors to groups, whether you're gathering for a retreat, a celebration, a team day, or simply because your people deserve a proper table.

Our group buffet menus are built around organic, plant-based food prepared fresh from locally sourced ingredients: Western, Mediterranean, Indonesian, Mexican, Ayurvedic, each menu designed to nourish without weighing you down, and delicious enough that people actually talk about it after.

Minimum 7 guests.
Maximum? Good energy!

From our garden to your table. DM us to bring your group to Ubuntu Café.

April practice is up!

Not every practice is meant to make you stronger.
Some practices are there to make you slower. Softer. More honest.

This month the schedule holds a few new spaces you can step into, depending on what you need that day.

• Power Vinyasa, when you need to sweat, move energy, and get out of your head.
• Yoga Lab, not a regular class. Some weeks we work on mobility or handstands, other weeks we talk about philosophy, breath, or why we even practice at all. A space to study, not just to move.
• Jivamukti, a physical, ethical, and spiritual practice, combining strong vinyasa-based movement with teachings on compassion, awareness, and how we live beyond the mat.
• Restorative Yoga, slowing everything down, supporting the body fully so the nervous system can rest. Very simple, very quiet, very needed.

Some days you come to move.
Some days you come to breathe.
Some days you come because you don’t know where else to go.

The door is open.
See you in our shala!🌱

Instagram might be where you find us, but the people are what build Ubuntu.🤍

Some of the people who hold this space:

Slide 1: Ari, who tends the garden every morning before the sun gets too hot and knows exactly when the papaya will be ready.

Slide 2: Febry, who’s been making our plant-based bowls at the cafe, and somehow remembers how you like your tempe.

Slide 3: Iluh, who cleans the shalas and our guest rooms, and leaves small offerings at the corner each day.

These are the faces of Ubuntu.

The real humans behind this place. The actual people whose work, practice, and presence create the energy you feel when you walk in.

More heart behind the space, soon. Stay tuned! 🤍

“Let food be thy medicine.” Real local food — picked ripe, grown without chemicals, prepared simply.

Dragon fruit from 20 minutes away. Greens from a family farm. Soil cared for, not exploited. When the jackfruit isn't ready, we wait.

Taste the difference. Support local.

You can taste the difference between food grown with patience and food grown for profit. Between soil that's been cared for and soil that's been used. That difference lives in every bite.

Come find it!🪴 Ubuntu Cafe, open daily for breakfast and lunch.

You see people flowing through Ashtanga and think “that’s not for me.” Too advanced. Too serious. Too bendy.

But here’s what actually makes someone ready for Mysore practice: Curiosity. A willingness to show up. That’s it.

Mysore takes its name from the city in southern India where Sri K. Pattabhi Jois taught this method for decades, yes, one of the oldest living yoga traditions.

There’s no instructor at the front, no one to follow. Each student moves through their own sequence, at their own breath, guided inward. This is svadhyaya or self-study, made physical. The practice becomes a mirror: what shows up on the mat tends to be exactly what’s showing up in your life. The daily discipline isn’t rigidity. It’s the container within which something quietly begins to shift.

And it’s far more beginner-friendly than it looks🪄. We start you with just a few poses. You practice until they feel familiar. Then we add more. The person next to you might be on their first sun salutation or their thousandth. Both belong here.

If you’ve been watching from the doorway thinking “𝙢𝙖𝙮𝙗𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙖𝙮”, well… someday is just another word for now.

Ready to show up? Mysore Ashtanga, Monday to Friday, 7:15–9:15 AM at Ubuntu Bali, Canggu.

This island gives a lot. Travel like it matters.

Most places say they’re eco-friendly because they have bamboo straws.

We have dry toilets. Sheets once a week. No bathtub plug, Bali’s water is running out.

We make our own cleaning products and bath gel from soap nuts and essential oils. We sort waste, compost, and turn old linens into rags.

Bali’s floods aren’t just rain. They’re plastic-blocked drains and decades of shortcuts. And we refuse to add to that…

You won’t get a resort here. But if the state of this island keeps you up at night, you’ll sleep well knowing your stay didn’t add to it.

That’s a different kind of luxury.

Your retreat begins with a conversation. Not a brochure.

We start by asking what brought you here. What your body is carrying. What's happening in your life that made you choose to step away from it, even just for a little while.

And then we build around you.

Maybe you need strong morning Ashtanga, organic nourishment, and long evenings in the garden.

Maybe it's mostly rest, gentle Yin, bodywork, and deep quiet.
Maybe it's coaching, meditation, and space to finally think clearly.
Maybe it's a Balinese purification ceremony, three massages, and falling asleep to the sounds of nature every night.

The Yoga Spirit Retreat is one of the ways we hold that space. Seven days of yoga, ritual, organic food, chakra work, private sessions, and full spiritual immersion into the heart of Bali.

But if seven days isn't right for you, or if you need something different altogether, we'll find it together.

Your retreat. Your pace. Your healing.

Drop us a message and let's start the conversation. We'd love to hear what you're looking for.

And if this speaks to someone you know, share it with them. They might need to read this today.

Still tight after all that stretching? Then we need to talk.

You've been doing the work. The yin, the holds, the foam roller at midnight. And yet, still tight.

Because the body doesn't hold tension randomly. It protects. It compensates. It quietly rewires itself around old injuries and patterns you didn't even know you were carrying, and no amount of yin will undo what started somewhere else entirely.

Your yoga and your bodywork were never meant to be separate things.

Come find out what your body has actually been trying to tell you. Osteopathy with Budi, now at Ubuntu Bali.

4PM at Ubuntu. The day's heat is finally breaking.
You walk into the shala and the energy is completely different from morning practice.
This is Five Element Yin Yoga. Slow. Still. The kind of practice where you hold poses for five minutes and discover that your hip flexor has been storing every stressful conversation you've had this month.
No vinyasa. No flow. Just long holds, deep breathing, and wherever your mind goes when you finally stop moving.

Some people cry in yin. Some fall asleep. Some have breakthroughs about things that have nothing to do with yoga.

Soft adjustments. Bolsters and blocks to support you. Dim lighting. The sound of evening settling in around the open shala.

By savasana, you feel wrung out in the best way. Softer. More spacious. Like you've been carrying weight you didn't know you could put down.

This is yin. This is the practice for when you need to stop doing and start feeling.

Five Element Yin Yoga at Ubuntu Bali, every Tuesday and Friday at 4PM. Check our schedule and drop in.
