Bali is divided into six important temples which are the island’s spiritual support, and this is one of them; the atmosphere here is serene and spiritual. As with the yoga and meditation on the previous day, visiting Uluwatu Temple during the tour will bring the guest closer to the culture of Bali.

2) Tegallalang Rice Terraces

The Tegallalang Rice Terraces are surrounded by Ubud, and it is known for its beautiful rice fields. These are listed as the World Heritage Site of Bali; it is the island’s rice terraces that are evidence of the Balinese civilization as an agricultural society. Enjoy a leisurely walk in the country, appreciate the scenic landscape, and perform some deep breathing or simple yoga in the countryside.

3) Ubud Monkey Forest

The Ubud Monkey Forest is a home for playful monkeys, and it has temples that date back to the 14th century. There is something very calming in taking a walk through this shaded forested area of the park. It’s a great place to take a break during the day and use as a sanctuary for meditation or for watching Bali’s colorful plants and animals.

4) Mount Batur

Mount Batur, one of Bali’s active volcanoes, holds an adventure for everyone. It can be hiked to before sunrise and get to watch the sun rise from behind the clouds. For many yoga lovers, it is inspiring to practice yoga at Mount Batur that challenges the body and soul in a beautiful and spectacular environment.

5) Tirta Empul Temple

Tirta Empul Temple is one of Bali’s most popular attractions. Here, people use water from the holy spring to purify themselves. Tourists are free to participate in the purification rite, which makes the whole process rather sacred. This temple can be associated with a yoga retreat, which is all about resetting the body and the mind.

6) Seminyak Beach

For those who want to find a quiet place to stay, Seminyak Beach is ideal, as it is far from the noise of the city. It is perfect for evening yoga or contemplative strolls since it is sheltered from waves, and the sunsets are beautiful. Relax to the sound of waves while you feel the 

calmness of the beach after a long yoga session.

7) Nusa Penida

From the main land of Bali, it only takes a short boat ride to get you to Nusa Penida – an island untouched with stunning cliffs, clear blue water, and hidden white sandy beaches. This is a perfect place to hide from the people’s flow, take a break, and feel the spirit of nature. Scientifically, snorkeling or even resting on the beach can also enrich the practice of yoga.

8) Goa Gajah (Elephant Cave)

Goa Gajah, which means Elephant Cave, is located near Ubud and is considered to be a historical and spiritual place. Climb through its history in the carvings on its walls, pray in the religious sites, or just learn about its importance. It is a historical and religious site, so it offers the perfect environment for yogis who want to find inner peace and inspiration.

9) Canggu

Canggu is a young and growing coastal town that offers activities for those interested in wellness. It is a vibrant but relaxed city where you will find everything from yoga studios to organic cafes and beautiful beaches. You can start your day with yoga, continue with vegan meals, and finish the day with the view of Batu Bolong Beach at sunset.

10) Bali Swing

Spice up your yoga retreat with visits to the Bali Swing. This attraction offers a combination of excitement and leisure, offering spectacular views of the jungle and rice terraces.
