Can I only attend the classes and arrange my own accommodations elsewhere?
Yes, it is possible to live off-site and attend only the classes and workshops. Please note that this will require you to arrange a driver to drop you off and pick you up daily, or to rent a motorbike, as accommodations within walking distance are limited. Pleasecontact us for costs, recommendations, and further details, if you would like to arrange your own accommodations.
I'd like to register for more than 1 person. How do I do that?
To make a booking for 2 or more people choose your room type here by clicking “book now” and on the next screen update the “number of people” section to “2” or more.
Can I start whenever I want?
Because our retreats are in such high demand, we give preference to students who can be with us and the group for the duration of the programs which start on Sundays. However, it is possible to arrive on any other day. If you need to arrive on any other day please contact us and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Are meals included? Where do we eat?
All yoga retreat packages include 2 meals per day – breakfast and dinner – at our in-house vegan restaurant Amrita.
Each retreat package includes a delicious vegan breakfast and dinner each day of the retreat with the exception of your day of arrival and day of departure. On your day of arrival, Sunday, dinner will be included, and the day you depart, breakfast will be included in your retreat package.
A light breakfast after the morning class consists of various dishes that contain seasonal fresh fruits, coconut milk, granola, pancakes or smoothie bowls. This light breakfast keep the body and mind clear and full of energy.
Dinner is a set menu of various international cuisines, including soup, salad, main course, and desert.
The retreat is purposefully designed to allow you to enjoy and sample amazing vegan cuisine while still having the flexibility to eat whatever you wish during lunch. For lunch, you have the option to order from the vegan a la carte menu or, if you choose to take the free shuttle into Ubud, you can enjoy any of the tasty and sumptuous restaurants that Ubud has to offer – including its many omnivore options. This allows you to experience the culinary delights of Ubud’s fantastic dining options which cater to a range of flavors and budgets, as well as have non-vegan meals if you wish.
