Alchemy Yoga and Meditation Center

I have been to five classes and one ecstatic dance, and can attest that what they facilitate is literally alchemy. I actually need time off between classes to process what happened. The teachers focus on truly holistic practice, with classes for each element, and emphasise the consciousness element of practice just as much as the physical. If you want someone to just tell you what angle your knee should be at, maybe this isn't for you, but if you want to strengthen and transform your whole self, heal from traumas no matter how severe, and gain capacity to heal from all the hurts and challenges inherent in existence, this place works✨ 💛 🤍 💙 💚. Thank you Ashton, ID, Julien, the rise crew, and teachers I haven't met yet for blessings past present and future

I am deeply grateful for Kim Kindersley's ceremonial breathwork at Alchemy in Ubud. I've been attending whenever I'm in Ubud for over a year now, and every experience continues to be profound. What amazes me most is Kim's ability to create such a grounded, heart-centered space in the midst of Ubud's busy and often energetically intense environment. His presence has a way of slowing everyone down, bringing us back into the present moment, and opening the door to genuine connection. Time and time again, I've witnessed people moved to tears through shared experiences of love, vulnerability, and unity. I would recommend Kim's breathwork to anyone. His approach is incredibly gentle, trauma-informed, and deeply respectful of each person's process. I've met people who felt overwhelmed or even retraumatized by other breathwork modalities in the past, yet found healing, safety, and trust in Kim's sessions. The way he holds space comes from the heart—with presence, humility, and genuine care—and it creates an environment where people can reconnect with themselves and each other in a beautiful way. Thank you, Kim, for the gift of this work and for continuing to show what conscious, compassionate facilitation can look like.

Attended Earth class today despite being under the weather due to some skin allergy reaction on the face. I went in anyway to see how I feel as I’ve saved Alchemy for the finale of my staying in Ubud I hate to miss this opportunity and I am so glad I came to experienced this beautiful space. Earth class was pretty gentle which I wanted for today (the sequence could be little boring for normal occasion) but the energy the space had impacted me was something I would remember for the lifetime. Friendly staffs, beautiful space, only thing that doesn’t suit in the space was the smell of the yoga mat :( They offer the nicest Manduka mat unlike other yoga places in Ubud, it needs some deep cleaning routine so visitors can fully embrace the space. Overall experience was great, I would recommend to experience this at least once. 요가매트에서 냄새가 많이나요 ㅠㅠ 수건 들고가세여!! 냄새에 예민한편인데 공간이 주는 에너지에 가려질정도로 힐링되는 공간입니다

If you are looking for a powerful and deeply healing breathwork experience, this is the place. I have participated in numerous breathwork workshops over the years, but my recent session with Kim at Alchemy was on another level. Kim’s masterful guidance, the beautiful energy of the space, and the incredible music allowed me to drop into a deeply transformative state. I am so grateful for this experience. Thank you, Kim—I highly recommend Alchemy to everyone.

A beautiful and atmospheric yoga studio with a great overall vibe. They regularly host a variety of events, which makes the space feel lively and engaging. I attended a fire class, but to me it felt more like a fitness workout than a traditional yoga practice. I came with my boyfriend, who is new to yoga, and unfortunately the instructor didn’t approach or assist anyone during the class. For me, this felt quite unprofessional, especially in an environment where guidance and support are important. Overall, the space is lovely, but the teaching experience could definitely be improved.

I attended the Ether Meditation class and really enjoyed the experience. I’m still learning meditation and sometimes find it hard to maintain focus, but Ashton’s guidance helped me back whenever my mind wandered. The studio is quite close to the road so you do hear some traffic, which can be a little distracting if you’re easily pulled out of the moment like I am. That said, the shala is truly beautiful, the space was comfortable even on a very hot day, and the mats and props were clean and well cared for. Giving 4 stars only bc of proximity to road, the facilities and Ashton were great, and I would go back.

I have attended this center for years coming here for the winter time. It was always a highlight of my practice. The teachers used to be knowledgeable and the classes felt deep and insightful. This year in February the experience changed for me. The center now feels more like a tourist attraction than a place for practice. Large buses bring in groups of people who often take pictures or use their phones during class. This shift has made the environment feel less focused. Shout out to all the teachers who keep doing profound work ♥️ Julien is amazing teacher, big shout out. I hope it will change for better 🙏🏻

Here’s a warm, very positive review you can use: ⸻ Alchemy Yoga Center in Ubud is truly a special place. From the moment you arrive, you feel a sense of calm, openness, and genuine care that goes far beyond a typical yoga studio. The space itself is beautiful, peaceful, and perfectly aligned with the soulful energy of Ubud. What really makes Alchemy exceptional, though, is the people. The entire staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming, creating an environment where everyone feels seen and supported, regardless of their level or background. A very special mention goes to Suli, whose genuine care, warmth, and lovely smile instantly make you feel at home. The kindness and positive energy she brings truly elevate the whole experience. Whether you come for a class, a workshop, or simply to spend time in the space, Alchemy feels like a community rather than just a yoga center. Highly recommended to anyone looking for authentic yoga, beautiful energy, and heartfelt human connection in Ubud. 🙏✨
