Serenity Within The City
Lotus Yoga Shala is located at 11 Jl Bisma in the heart of Ubud, Bali and within the grounds of Kausala; a pretty little villa situated next to a calm rice field.
From *Jalan Bisma, you only need to walk 100 meters down the "green alley" to escape the noise of the road and find serenity at our yoga shala, spa, and cafe.
*Jalan is Indonesian for "Road"
Frangipani Flower Bath
Detox has never been so delightful!
​
Soaking in this special bath filled with over 100 frangipani flower petals is not just some extravagant, essential-oil, aroma-therapy indulgence. These wonderfully fragrant flowers have powerful detoxifying powers! Of course, we all know our skin sweats out many toxins, but did you know this is as important as going to the toilet! Toxins in the air and in our food can constipate the skin, which in turn can impede many other vital functions; including breathing (yes, the skin breathes) and absorbing certain vital nutrients (such as Vit B-12). Furthermore, frangipani flowers are imbued with strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory traits. It relaxes the nerves and muscles, is beneficial in uplifting overall health, and has a rejuvenating effect on one’s whole Mind-Body-Spirit. ​

Bal'e Cafe
Great Food ~ Great Wifi ~ Great Atmosphere
Bal'e is pronounced like (the Island) Bali, but it's meaning is to gather or gathering. However, when you sit at one its counters that look out over a little rice field, you'll feel like it's more about gathering your head and heart together than gathering with friends. However, it's a great place to do that as well; especially after a yoga class. :)
Acu~Thai
Ayurvedic Yoga Massage & Elemental Yoga Therapy
​​
Perhaps you have heard of the magic of Thai Yoga Massage; a series of yoga postures while palming and thumbing along the body's energy lines (most commonly known as meridians) and acupressure points. Together these actions result in a comprehensive, full-body treatment that relieves muscular tension, improves circulation, boosts the immune system and balances the body energetically. However, quite typically in TYM the stretching maneuvers get far too much emphasis while the greater and more therapeutic aspects of acupressure are largely neglected. Furthermore, knowledge of the energy channels to which acupressure is applied is quite limited; and yet it is knowledge of the acupressure points along the meridians that really prepare a recipient to safely and most effectively receive those awesome stretching maneuvers. // Our approach to TYM blends the elemental knowledge of the meridians with a precise application of acupressure.

Thai Yoga Massage maneuvers are combined with Shiatsu style acupressure techniques to address the 12 major meridians of the body in both a sectionalized and a targeted manner. In other words, the client chooses either the upper or lower body to be “worked on” and, within that section, we can target any specific area that needs extra attention; as requested by the client or as discovered during the process. 60min / Upper or Lower Body / 300k

Five Element Assessment w/ Elemental Yoga Therapy Routine
Open the body ~ unlock the mind ~ free the spirit.
Using any of our Acu massage modalities while engaged in a relaxed conversational therapy technique we are able to assess -by what we feel in the meridians in relation to what we are hearing in the conversation- what elements are out of balance in one’s life. However, no advice is given. Instead, we skillfully ask questions which draw out the client’s own wisdom. Thereafter, we can assess what elements are excessive or deficient and then craft a personalized yoga routine to bring the client’s elemental energies back into balance.

Reflexobility Massage
By opening up the hands and feet (but primarily the feet) with Reflexology, energy is allowed to flow more freely throughout the entire body. This can address overall health, certain chronic pains, and even mobility issues. Resistance Stretching can free the muscles and joints from knotted up entanglements that have damaged fascia and hold the body into limited patterns of movement and emotional expression. The results of either modality are often impressive, but combined the result can be pure magic! 45min / 200k

About Our Yoga Classes
At Lotus Yoga Shala we specialize in Panch Maha Yoga. PMY classes encompass the key attributes of nearly every style/approach to yoga via the Five (Panch) Great (Maha) Elements (Bhuta). For example, you are probably familiar with flowing Vinyasa style classes and you can also probably guess which flowing element it is associated. However, classes that are very grounding are much less flowing and much more stable; and you can probably guess which element would represent such a class as well. We won’t go over examples of every element here, but invite you to visit this link where you can learn more about PMY. It is easy to understand and yet it is quite a revelation if, as most people, you are just now coming to know that one of the main goals of yoga (as asana) is to balance these elements. It is also a revelation for most to realize that all of the elements are associated to the nadi or meridians; the same energy channels used in acupressure and acupuncture most commonly known as meridians. And, “Like acupuncture without the needles,” in our classes you will learn what meridians are being affected by each posture, as well as their corresponding elements. You can also let the teacher know if there is anything “going on” with you, whether it is health related, a life challenge, or simply a goal you’re working on. The teacher may be able to “prescribe” for you the type of postures that will open the meridians that activate the elemental energies that can help you with your challenge.​​
