A day of calm, chants, and temple water. This Ubud experience strings together gentle yoga, a mantra-and-chakra healing session, and a Balinese-style purification ritual at a water temple. You’ll get a guide who helps translate what’s happening, not just where to go.

Two things I really like here are the pacing and the people. The yoga is set up as a focused 1.5-hour reset (with nature views), and you also get practical cultural context on the drive—names you might see in the lineup include Komang, Popo, Ade, or Gede, and you may meet a healer called Ebu.

One thing to consider: this is a spiritual ritual day, so it’s not a sit-and-see-the-temples-only sightseeing tour. If you’re not comfortable with mantras/offerings, or you’d rather skip changing and getting wet at a water temple, it may feel like too much.

Key Highlights You’ll Care About

  • 1.5 hours of yoga at a studio in the Ubud area, with time to get ready (arrive about 30 minutes early)
  • Mantra healing and chakra opening with a priest in the Ubud area, plus Balinese offering symbolism
  • Temple purification in spring water with meditation-style pacing (Mengening Temple or Tirta Empul)
  • Hotel pickup and drop-off plus an air-conditioned car, so you’re not coordinating transport
  • A real guide relationship, with some guides described as attentive and calm, like Komang, Ade, and Gede

What This Ubud Chakra Healing Day Really Includes

Ubud Yoga, Open Chakra Healing and Temple Spiritual Cleansing - What This Ubud Chakra Healing Day Really Includes
Think of this tour as one long “return to center” day. You start with movement (yoga), then shift to intention (mantra and chakra work), and end with purification (temple water cleansing).

This isn’t presented like a medical or scientific treatment. You’re participating in a Balinese Hindu-inspired spiritual practice—mantra, offerings, and cleansing rituals—guided by a priest and supported by your tour guide. If you go in with that mindset, it tends to make more sense.

A practical bonus: most of the core logistics are handled for you. You’re given bottled water, you’ll have temple entrance tickets, and you don’t need to arrange transport between stops.

Price and Logistics: One Day, Three Spiritual Stops

Ubud Yoga, Open Chakra Healing and Temple Spiritual Cleansing - Price and Logistics: One Day, Three Spiritual Stops
The price is $89 per person, and the experience is typically booked about two weeks out. At this rate, you’re paying for more than “entry fees.” You’re also getting a private day setup with hotel pickup and drop-off, an air-conditioned car, a guide, and scheduled time with the yoga teacher and a priest.

Expect an 8-hour day (approx.), and that total includes pickup and drop-off from your accommodation. The schedule is split into three main segments, each around two hours on the itinerary, with the yoga portion specifically clocking in at 1.5 hours in the studio.

You’ll also get a mobile ticket, and the activity is described as near public transportation—useful if your plans change last minute, even though pickup is part of the tour.

One small value note: lunch is not included. So even though your day is “packaged,” you’ll still want to plan where you’ll eat afterward (or whether you can grab something before the first stop).

Intuitive Flow Yoga Studio: 1.5 Hours of Ubud Nature Calm

Ubud Yoga, Open Chakra Healing and Temple Spiritual Cleansing - Intuitive Flow Yoga Studio: 1.5 Hours of Ubud Nature Calm
Your day starts at Intuitive Flow Yoga Studio in the Ubud area. The main yoga session is about 1.5 hours with an expert teacher, and the setting is described as offering nature views—exactly the kind of start that helps your mind slow down before the more intense spiritual parts.

The tour asks you to come 30 minutes earlier to prepare. That timing matters. In a studio setting, you’ll want time to settle in, use the restroom, and not rush through changing or gear.

Because you’re doing yoga as part of a wider spiritual program, you should expect it to be more than a workout. From the way the experience is described, it’s geared toward a calm, focused flow—great for beginners, especially if you’re using the day as personal reset time.

Practical tip: wear something comfortable and easy to move in. Since you’re also heading to a temple later, you’ll be glad you didn’t choose anything that’s annoying to change out of.

Mantra Healing and Chakra Opening with a Priest in Ubud

Ubud Yoga, Open Chakra Healing and Temple Spiritual Cleansing - Mantra Healing and Chakra Opening with a Priest in Ubud
After yoga, the tour moves to the Ubud area for a priest-led session that focuses on mantra healing and opening your chakras. The idea is to support your energetic balance—neutralize negative energy and work with the aura concept—using mantra and symbolic offerings.

This segment is described as about two hours, and it includes the priest meeting plus the offerings. In plain terms, you’re not just watching a ceremony. You’re participating, and your guide supports you so you’re not stuck guessing what happens next.

One thing I appreciate about this setup is that it’s paired with explanation. The guide is there to explain the culture in Bali and help you understand what the priest is doing and why the offering matters. That’s especially useful if you’re new to this kind of spiritual ritual and you don’t want to accidentally be disrespectful.

If you have questions—like what to do with your hands during chanting, or what the offering symbolizes—this is the moment to ask. Your guide is also the bridge between your expectations and the ritual’s pace.

And yes, you may get a guide described as very supportive on these types of days—people like Komang, Ade, or Gede are named in past experiences, with attention to helping solo travelers feel at ease.

Temple Purification at Mengening (or Tirta Empul) and Why Spring Water Matters

Ubud Yoga, Open Chakra Healing and Temple Spiritual Cleansing - Temple Purification at Mengening (or Tirta Empul) and Why Spring Water Matters
Your final spiritual phase is the temple cleansing. The offering and ritual format follows a Balinese water temple tradition, with mantra and offerings and a cleansing process using clean pure spring water.

You’ll go to Mengening Temple or Tirta Empul Temple (depending on the day’s plan). The itinerary specifically lists Mengening as one option, and it’s described as a water temple ritual setting with a green area around it.

Either way, the experience is about two hours and includes ritual cleansing and meditation-style quiet time. So you’re not just splashing around for photos—you’re moving through a structured spiritual moment.

The biggest practical difference between this segment and the yoga segment: you should assume you’ll get wet and you’ll need a calm transition. That’s why the tour tells you to bring a swimming suit, changing cloth, and towels. If you show up without those items, the experience becomes harder than it needs to be.

Also, the tour includes the temple entrance ticket and donation to the priest. That helps you avoid awkward last-minute scrambling when you’re focused on the ritual itself.

Here's some more things to do in Ubud

Guides Who Explain the Why (Not Just the Where)

Ubud Yoga, Open Chakra Healing and Temple Spiritual Cleansing - Guides Who Explain the Why (Not Just the Where)
A tour like this lives or dies by the guide’s tone. You’ll be doing rituals with priests, plus mantras and offerings. A good guide helps you understand the background so you can participate comfortably rather than feel like you’re performing.

In the experiences linked to this kind of day, guides such as Popo have been described as helpful on the drive—sharing insights into Balinese Hindu culture between stops. Other guides named in past trips include Ade, Komang, and Gede, with comments about arriving early, being attentive, and making solo participants feel at ease.

You might also meet the person described as a healer named Ebu during the chakra work. If that’s your group, the key is that you’re not left to figure out the steps alone. Your guide should keep you on track and explain what’s happening.

My practical advice: treat your guide like a translator and a safety net. Ask quick questions during transitions. If you’re unsure about timing, bathroom access, or how long a ritual segment lasts, ask—don’t guess.

What to Bring: Swimwear, Towel, and a Change Plan

Ubud Yoga, Open Chakra Healing and Temple Spiritual Cleansing - What to Bring: Swimwear, Towel, and a Change Plan
This tour gives you the ritual structure, but you still control how comfortable you feel. Here’s what you should bring, based on what the experience requests.

  • Swimsuit
  • Changing clothes
  • Towel

Even though bottled water is included, you’ll still want to keep yourself comfortable throughout a full day. Water temple time can involve walking around and standing in ritual areas, so a towel isn’t just for warmth—it helps you move on without feeling chilled.

Wear something you can rinse or pack easily. You’ll also be doing yoga in the first part of the day, so choose clothing that doesn’t create stress later.

One more practical thought: don’t plan a “big night out” right after. Your day ends after the final temple segment and the drive back. It’s better to treat the evening as a cooldown.

Included vs Not Included: Where the Value Comes From

Ubud Yoga, Open Chakra Healing and Temple Spiritual Cleansing - Included vs Not Included: Where the Value Comes From
Included items are part of why this feels like a true day tour rather than a loose set of drop-offs:

Included:

  • Hotel pickup & drop-off
  • Air-conditioned car
  • Tour guide
  • Bottled water
  • Donation to the priest
  • Temple entrance ticket
  • Canang/offerings
  • Yoga admission & teacher

Not included:

  • Lunch

That “no lunch” detail is the main trade-off. The tour gives you the spiritual programming, the entry costs, and the guide support, but you’ll need to handle food yourself.

If you want the day to feel smooth, do one of these:

  • Eat something light before yoga.
  • Plan a simple meal after the final temple stop.

Either way, you’ll avoid the tired, hungry feeling that can make rituals harder to enjoy.

Who This Tour Suits Best (and Who Should Rethink It)

This is a strong fit if you want quiet introspection in a structured format. You’re not bouncing between ten attractions. You’re doing yoga, then a priest session, then temple cleansing—with time in between for travel and settling.

It also works well if you’re going solo. The guide support described in past experiences points to a calm, reassuring atmosphere, especially for people who want help navigating cultural rituals without feeling lost.

You should reconsider if:

  • You dislike spiritual ceremonies and prefer secular sightseeing.
  • You’re not comfortable with mantras and offerings.
  • You don’t want to deal with water temple cleansing and changing.

Most travelers can participate, and the yoga is not positioned as extreme fitness training. Still, it is yoga—so choose clothing and shoes that match your comfort level, and plan to take it gently.

Should You Book This Ubud Yoga and Temple Cleansing Tour?

If you want a meaningful day in Ubud that mixes movement, intention, and purification, this is worth booking. The value comes from the whole package: pickup, a guided day, yoga instruction, priest-led mantra/chakra work, temple access, and the ritual materials like canang/offerings and a priest donation.

I’d book it if your ideal Bali day includes learning how Balinese Hindu practices work, not just seeing temples from the sidewalk. It’s also a good choice if you like the idea of a calm, guided schedule with minimal decision-making.

Skip it if you only want classic tourism stops, you don’t want to participate in spiritual rituals, or you’d rather have lunch included and keep the day simpler.
