Ubud Yoga House, Subak Sokwayah: A Small Wooden Shala Over the Rice Fields

If you are looking for a yoga class in Ubud that feels like practising at a friend's house rather than in a big hall lined with dozens of mats, Ubud Yoga House on Jl. Subak Sokwayah is the answer. The shala is an open wooden building standing in the middle of the rice fields, right on the footpath that leads to Sari Organic. No glass walls, no air conditioning — just the breeze, the sound of insects, and a view of the paddies that makes every movement feel slower.

Class Styles: Vinyasa, Yin and Hatha

The daily schedule is deliberately lean, usually two to four classes a day, so each session stays small and the teacher has time to adjust everyone individually.

Vinyasa flow — dynamic sequences linked to the breath, usually in the earliest slot while the air is still cool.
Yin — passive poses held for 3–5 minutes, ideal in the afternoon after a day of cycling or walking around Ubud.
Hatha — a slow tempo with an emphasis on alignment; the friendliest option for beginners.
All-levels classes dominate, so you do not need to be flexible to join.

Drop-in, Class Packs and Price Range

There is no membership to buy. The system is simple and suits travellers who are only in Ubud for a few days.

Drop-in for a single class: roughly IDR 150,000–200,000 per session.
Packs of 5 or 10 classes: the per-class price drops considerably and they usually stay valid for several weeks — worth it if you are staying a week or more.
Mats and props (blocks, bolsters, blankets) are available on site, so you can turn up empty-handed.
Cash payments are often smoother; keep some rupiah on hand just in case.

Getting There: A Footpath Through the Rice Fields

This is the part to prepare for. Ubud Yoga House cannot be reached by car. The way to the shala is a narrow concrete footpath cutting between the paddy plots — wide enough only for a motorbike or people on foot.

From the main road, allow about 10–15 minutes on foot along the rice-field path; by motorbike it is much quicker.
Nearest landmarks: Pomegranate Cafe and Dragonfly Retreat Center — both sit on the same footpath towards Sari Organic.
Cars and ride-hailing taxis can only drop you at the end of the lane; the rest has to be walked.
Arrive 15–20 minutes early — to find the place, catch your breath after the walk, and claim a spot.
Bring: sweat-wicking clothes, a small towel, a water bottle, and mosquito repellent for afternoon classes.
Good for: beginners intimidated by large studios, solo travellers, couples, and anyone who wants a quiet practice without queueing.
