Anand Ashram Ubud

5 Mer Forêt - 3 weeks ago

Relaxing and beautiful stay at this ashram. The programme is gentle to follow and not too strict, yet we must respect their rules. Better contact them 1st before booking to know what to expect.

Some of the programme are: chanting, meditation, yoga and talk with the guru.
One of the evening program is movie night, it happened during my last night, I love it.

Staff are very kind and always helpful especially when you have questions about the teachings.
The food is delicious vegetarian.
The bookstore has great options of good books too.
I stayed for 4 nights and wished could stay longer.

Good choice if you‘re into spirituality, meditation and yoga. I had a pleasant stay there. Nice rooms, excellent food, friendly staff and interesting talks. The garden is gorgeous and is equipped with a pool.

What a beautiful place. As a complete novice to meditation, yoga and Hinduism I was a little nervous before arriving and had many questions to ask. Everyone there was so warm and welcoming and was happy to answer any questions as well as make the yoga and meditations accessible for all.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that Anand Krishna himself held a meditation class and he was also very welcoming (as you’d expect).
The food was amazing!
The rooms were comfy and clean!
An overall transformative experience, when I’m next in Bali, I will be back for sure!

The ashram is located by the main road offering no protection from the traffic noise, which is significant. I stayed in the hut and simply could not sleep.

For someone looking for peace and quiet there are better places.

The chants and rituals seems to be of a religious kind but no explanation is offered. One cannot participate in the chanting but simply listen. The focus is on the figure of the guru that pictures are everywhere.

The stuff was unwelcoming and uninterested, except for the cleaner (!) who smiled and offered her help in spite of the language barrier.

All together an unpleasant and negative experience.

attended a private therapeutic meditation session. it’s being organized in small group of 3 in a semi indoor hall, and i was taught through a full set of meditation techniques as well as the methodology behind. very practical and i also got a free life hack book as souvenirs. can sense that the instructors are all very passionate in meditation and the residents there are also enjoying their time. i felt really tranquilled after the session and would love to put it into practice!

Enjoyed my week-long stay here very much. The resident yogis were incredibly friendly, helpful and kind, going out of their way to ensure that everyone had an excellent experience. The vegetarian meals were delicious. The daily meditation, chanting and arati ceremonies were lovely, and the atmosphere throughout the grounds was exotic yet peaceful and tranquil, perfect for quiet reflection and study. Truly enjoyed the evening programs with Swami Anand Krishna, very inspiring and uplifting. Will go back everytime I visit Ubud.

The perfect place for spiritual travelers. Apart from the well priced accommodation, the Ashram gets to the heart of peaceful living. There is a no nonsense approach to meditation, yoga and the art of peaceful living which transcends all the new age misconceptions of living a happy life.
Guruji Anand Kristina has a sound approach to finding happiness within while living happily in the world.
P.S. The vegetarian food for guests is awesome ????
