Your First Yoga Retreat in Canggu: What to Expect

Your first yoga retreat in Canggu can begin with a simple plan: a comfortable room, time on the mat and enough space between activities to enjoy your stay. At Kalapa, you can join a complimentary morning class as a staying guest or choose The Yoga Escape, which combines accommodation with private yoga sessions, meals and a Balinese massage.

Choose how you want to practise

A shared morning class gives your day a gentle point of focus. Our experienced teachers welcome all levels, including guests beginning yoga. Tell the teacher about your experience so they understand what you are hoping to explore.

For a more demanding practice, arrange a private session with the team. This gives you individual attention while allowing the shared class to remain accessible to other guests. Private yoga is charged separately unless it is included in your selected package. Read about yoga classes and private practice before deciding which format suits you.

Plan around the morning schedule

Complimentary classes begin at 10:00 AM, Monday to Saturday, in Bali time. They are reserved for guests staying at the resort, with booking arranged after check-in. Sunday is the teacher's day off. A class also will not take place when the teacher is attending Balinese ceremonies.

Check the published yoga schedule and confirm that day's arrangements with the team. If yoga is central to your trip, consider which weekdays fall within your stay before choosing your dates. Private-session arrangements should be confirmed separately.

Compare three and five nights

The three-night Yoga Escape includes two private yoga sessions with equipment, daily breakfast and afternoon tea, one dinner at Rasa Restaurant, and one 60-minute traditional Balinese massage.

The five-night option includes three private sessions with equipment, daily breakfast and afternoon tea, a daily whole coconut drink, two dinners, and one 120-minute traditional Balinese massage.

Both options include one complimentary airport or hotel pick-up or drop-off. Hotel transfers apply to hotels within 10 km of the resort. Room choice and guest numbers affect the rate, so use the package rate table and inclusion list to compare the exact option you want.

Leave room between activities

You do not need to fill every hour. You might keep one afternoon for the pool, another for a spa appointment, and another for a leisurely meal. These are suggestions for arranging your time, with availability and any additional charges confirmed by the team.

Bring comfortable clothes that let you move freely, and ask what you need for your chosen class. The package's private sessions include equipment. Share any specific practice requirements when arranging your stay so the teacher and team can advise on the available format.

Before you book

Choose your dates, room type and number of guests first. When you select a package, the enquiry form shows its inclusions and asks for your check-in date. Review these details before sending your enquiry. The team will confirm availability and final booking terms.

Can I join if I am a beginner?

Yes. The experienced teachers welcome all levels. Let the teacher know that you are new to yoga so they can guide your participation.

Is private yoga included with every room booking?

No. Complimentary morning group yoga is available to staying guests under the published schedule. Private sessions are a separate arrangement unless your chosen package includes them.

What if my stay includes a Sunday?

There is no complimentary class on Sunday. You can leave that morning free or ask the team about other arrangements, subject to availability.
