Before that, I knew nothing about yoga or meditation, but after a few sessions, yoga became my lifestyle when I returned to the city.
Yoga Barn’s classes are more experience-oriented, which is a good exploration of a new field for those who have not experienced yoga or meditation before. There are many courses to choose from, and there are also many courses for beginners, so that you can fully experience your curiosity and find your connection and preference with yoga or meditation programs.
For seasoned players, traditional courses may not allow them to get a full stretch of exercise, there are also water yoga, healing yoga and other experience options rarely seen in the domestic city, and, in a classroom full of green yoga practice, itself is a great enjoyment.
In addition to the fixed yoga venues, in Ubud, you can also explore a lot of life clues to your own yoga classes. In brunch cafe or vegetarian restaurant, it is easy to see posters of recent yoga activities pasted on the walls, or in the alleys of Ubud, you will also come across large and small family yoga studios.
Here are a few of my favorite lessons that I have taken, which may have some inspiration for you who are beginners like me:
For beginners, both Yin-Yang Yoga and Beginner’s Yoga are suitable for experience-oriented classes. If you follow the teacher’s instructions and asana demonstration, you will be able to complete the whole lesson.
The yoga teacher you meet here will not necessarily emphasize the accuracy and difficulty of the asana training too much, but will certainly guide you to “breathe” repeatedly.
For me, who was new to yoga at that time, after obediently following the teacher’s movements and breathing instructions again and again, I finally had the natural feeling of heat between the body joints, as well as the heat and sweat experience in the rainforest classroom with ventilation on all sides. As an introduction to this movement, I fell in love with yoga, and it became my daily practice after I returned to the city.
