Iyengar Yoga Retreat in Ubud, Bali for all levels
September 4th – 10th, 2027 | Ananda Ubud Resort
Led by Senior Yoga Teacher Vanessa Shribman
Join Senior Iyengar Yoga Teacher Vanessa Shribman for a transformative six-night immersion into precision, alignment, and deep restoration. Hosted at the spectacular Ananda Ubud Resort this week is designed to deepen your practice, cultivate inner clarity, and nourish your spirit within a sacred Balinese oasis.
Ananda Resort is a spiritually grounding canvas perfect for a yoga retreat. Immersed in the quiet cadence of Ubud’s emerald-green rice paddies and sacred tropical forests, this authentic Balinese sanctuary removes the noise of daily life so your students can look inward. Blending centuries-old cultural charm with expansive wellness facilities, the property is purposefully designed to support deep meditation, daily asana practice, and holistic rejuvenation. Positioned safely away from the chaotic traffic of Ubud Centre, it remains just a brief 5-to-10-minute hop into town whenever you want to explore local markets and raw food cafés.
