2. Taksu Yoga & Movement Arts
If you prefer small classes in an intimate environment, head over to Taksu Yoga for Beginner, Hatha, Vinyasa, or Restorative yoga and various meditation forms led by instructors from Bali and around the world. The serene shala (Sanskrit for abode) is located around a natural setting and greenery, and you’ll get to practice with the soothing sounds of the river nearby. I also love that it’s housed with a relaxing spa and restaurant.
