Heart Space Bali
An Ubud sanctuary of sacred sound and Balinese ritual. Cacao ceremony, yin, and vibration used to restore the harmony that was always underneath the noise. Heart Space is at 1 Nyuh Kuning Road in central Ubud. Amanda Ashleigh Tylor founded it in 2020 and runs it with co-owner Wieland Stolzenburg. It calls itself a sound based space for nervous system healing, not a typical yoga studio. The timetable, 6:30am to 10pm daily, covers yin and restorative yoga, sound healing, yoga nidra, breathwork, meditation and cacao ceremony. Balinese healers give Balinese healing massage and pranic healing massage, alongside acupuncture and chakra healing. Next door is Flourish, a fully gluten free restaurant. The five day Nervous System Reset retreat adds sound immersions and massage, with no expectation to fill every hour. Classes are open to all levels, and some suit kids and teens.
Pyramids of Chi
A sound healing temple built to the geometry of the pyramids. Moon ceremonies, breath and voice, and vibration journeys that move the body without moving the feet. Pyramids of Chi is at Jalan Kelebang Moding 22, Bentuyung, Ubud. Peter and Lynn McIntosh founded it in 2013. The pyramids are built to scale with the Great Pyramid of Giza, with a 52 degree base angle and one wall aligned to true north. A newer AMA Multisensory Dome sits alongside them. Sessions run all day on a fixed timetable: Ancient Sound Healing, Scalar Healing Energy, Light Sound Vibration and the dome. Around them are moon ceremonies, breathwork, meditation, yoga, tea and cacao ceremonies, workshops and 1:1 sessions. There is a gluten free vegan cafe, a gift shop, gardens, group bookings and a practitioner residency. First time meditators and seasoned practitioners both come.
Avasthanam
Kundalini awakening through Kriya yoga, meditation, and spiritual healing. Quiet, disciplined, and pointed at one thing: the energy that was always yours to raise. Avasthanam is a yoga academy and retreat centre in Ubud, registered with the International Yoga Organisation in Karnataka, India. It teaches from the Himalayan Siddhas lineage, with Vishnu Guruji and Shakti named as teachers. Retreats include kundalini, kriya yoga and silent Vipassana formats. The 10 day 3-K workshop (karma, kriya, kaya kalpa) starts at 4:30am and moves through kundalini kriya, asana, philosophy, written introspection, pooja and evening meditation, with lights out at 8:30pm. It also runs 100 and 200 hour kundalini yoga teacher training. No prior kundalini experience is needed. It suits people who want a strict daily schedule.
