Samyama Self-Healing Center | Yoga & Meditation in Ubud, Bali

Nestled in the heart of Ubud, Bali, Samyama Self-Healing Center is a retreat and teacher training center built around authentic yoga practice, meditation, and genuine community. Founded in 2018 by practitioners for practitioners, Samyama has grown into an established space where students from over 40 countries come to reconnect with themselves, deepen their practice, and find lasting change — both on and off the mat.

The center draws on a rich spectrum of traditional disciplines, including Hatha, Tantra, Kundalini, Yin, Bhakti, Raja, and Karma Yoga, all rooted in the philosophy of Advaita Vedanta, or non-dualism. The international teaching team brings together over 50 years of combined experience, 7,000 hours of certified Yoga Alliance education, and approximately 50,000 combined hours of personal practice and study. This depth of knowledge is reflected in Samyama's Yoga Alliance accredited 100-hour, 200-hour, and 300-hour teacher training programs, which have been voted the number one best yoga teacher training in Ubud by All Yoga Training.

Beyond teacher training, Samyama offers in-person and online meditation and yoga retreats, private sessions, and silent meditation retreats — having guided over 200 participants through more than 70 days of silent practice. The center also includes an on-site eatery and hosts regular community events, creating the atmosphere of a modern-day ashram rather than a conventional studio. Whether someone is working through stress and burnout or seeking a deeper understanding of yogic philosophy, the programming is designed to meet students where they are.

What distinguishes Samyama is not just the breadth of its offerings, but the culture it has cultivated. Its team of 13 teachers hails from 13 different countries, reflecting the global, heart-centered community the center actively fosters. Instructors are described as living their practice — grounded in service, honesty, and simplicity. Hundreds of positive reviews across Google, Facebook, and Yoga Alliance speak to an environment where meaningful transformation is supported by real human connection. For those unable to travel to Bali, many programs are also available online, extending Samyama's reach well beyond the island.
