Fine and heartfelt experience in The Shala.
Beautiful villa with attention to details: spacious fully glazed room, beautiful bathroom, stone bath on one terrace, open living room and kitchen on the other, panoramic view on the ricefields, sounds of the forest…
I enjoyed every meal, every massage, the cooking class, the walk in the ricefields, the private yoga sessions with an excellent teacher. The staff was professional and very friendly. Vina, Kadek, Dayu, thank you for your smiles, I hope to see you again.
Fabulous place to host your retreat, workshop or class, very adaptable, with a perfect space even for more tan 35 people. The way to reach the Shala makes it magical, it’s like a hidden paradise to practice and also to stay.
Divine environment for a yoga retreat, nestled in amongst rice paddies. Rooms are amazingly luxurious, staff are wonderful, food is great and the infinity pool is just gorgeous. I loved it all 🙏❤️
I stayed here for a week and did the in-house yoga retreat. This place is really special I don't think the reviews do it justice. The staff is so kind and helpful, the rooms are really lovely and comfortable. Super helpful management - I needed assistance extending my visa and Jero, the manager, saw to it that I got what I needed! The food is AMAZING! Both at the kitchen and at the indian cafe, Mumbai Station, near the street. The Shala is nestled back far from the road in between lovely fields of rice patties. It is tranquil. The Yoga Shala itself is a stunning space and has a wonderful view of all the ducks that wander about the rice patties. There are also chickens and cats that wander around. The cats are residents there and are very sweet. Louisa and Nykil are the owners of the Shala and also the yoga teachers. I learned so much about the spirituality of yoga and meditation. This was very new to me but it added so much to my practice. I also had 1:1 classes that allowed me to deepen my practice and address weaknesses and tightness in my body that I hadn't before. Have I mentioned the spa yet?? AMAZING! The women who staff the spa are so lovely. They are so skilled at what they did and were so kind and warm. The Shala is located in a great part of Ubud too. Far enough away from the center full of hustle and bustle but close enough that it's easy to get there via a taxi or scooter. The whole experience is just incredible. I was sad to leave. I can't wait to go back again someday!!
Had an amazing weeklong stay at the Shala doing a personal yoga retreat. Enjoyed some creative and personalized yoga classes, skillful spa treatments and absolutely delicious food. The location couldn’t be topped, with my room tucked into the peaceful rice paddies but easy access to the bustle of Ubud! The staff are so kind and helpful. I miss the house made chocolate already!
