My honest review of Serenity Eco guesthouse Yoga studio in Canggu, Bali

In a town like Canggu, where new yoga studios seem to pop up weekly, Serenity Eco Guesthouse has a totally different vibe — and I mean that in the best way. I stayed just down the road and ended up practicing here almost every day.

It’s not glamorous, but it’s full of heart, and the beach is just a few minutes’ walk away. That combo of salt air and jungle calm? Magic.

Serenity offers two open-air yoga shalas built from bamboo and reclaimed materials. The upper one — where most classes are held — sits above the lush courtyard, catching the breeze and the occasional whiff of incense from the garden café below.

These spaces were created by Daniel and Yatna (left us in 2025), the French-Balinese couple who built this place up from their family home over the years. I actually chatted with Daniel one afternoon after class. His passion for sustainability and keeping things affordable was really clear — and honestly, refreshing.

Classes run all day from 8:00 AM to around 7:30 PM, and cost about 100,000 IDR (around $6.50 USD). Mats are available to borrow, and you’ll usually find a good crowd — everything from chilled-out surfers and traveling yogis to a few digital nomads and long-term expats.

What the classes are like

I tried a handful of different sessions, mostly Vinyasa and Restorative, and each teacher brought their own style. Some were travelers passing through with advanced certifications, others were local instructors with that kind of deep body intuition you can’t fake.

The Vinyasa classes were flowing and energizing, while the Yin sessions at sunset were honestly divine — especially with the birds and the breeze overhead.

One day, I ended up in an Acroyoga class by accident (long story) and ended up laughing the entire time with a group of strangers. That’s the kind of place this is — open, laid-back, and full of surprise connection.

Serenity also hosts regular Yoga Teacher Trainings (YTTs) in partnership with Santosha Yoga School from Tasmania.

I didn’t join one myself, but I met several people doing their training who raved about how grounded and accessible the program felt. Definitely something to look into if you’re thinking of leveling up your practice.

More than just Yoga

Serenity is more like a little eco-village than just a studio. They’ve got a permaculture garden, alkaline water system, and a café (Alkaline) that serves up some of the best raw vegan desserts I’ve ever had.

One afternoon post-class, I found myself sipping on their turmeric latte and talking soil nutrients with a staff member who also runs the composting project. You can tell the team here genuinely cares about their impact — and that energy filters into the whole place.

Final thoughts

Serenity isn’t the most polished or picture-perfect yoga spot in Bali — but that’s why I loved it. It’s honest. It’s affordable. And it offers something deeper than just a workout: a sense of belonging.

Whether you’re here for a one-off class, a full YTT, or just want a peaceful space to breathe and stretch after a surf, Serenity delivers.
