Bali is a global sanctuary for those seeking a “reset.” When you stay in a private luxury villa in Canggu, Uluwatu, or Ubud, the environment itself begins the healing process. However, to move from a simple holiday to a true physical and mental transformation, the quality of your wellness instruction matters more than the view from your balcony.
Many visitors to the island make the mistake of booking a “private yoga teacher” through a quick message or a generic app, only to find the instruction is a “one-size-fits-all” sequence that doesn’t account for their injuries, goals, or experience level.
At ADDA YOGA Bali, we have redefined the standard for in-villa wellness. We don’t just send a teacher; we deliver a bespoke wellness program. To ensure the highest level of safety, efficacy, and professionalism, we follow a rigorous 4-step process that bridges the gap between a standard yoga class and a personalized therapeutic journey.
Here is an inside look at how we transform your private villa into a world-class wellness sanctuary.
Why a Professional Process is Essential
In the wellness industry, Expertise and Trustworthiness are non-negotiable. When a client invites an instructor into their private living space, there is an inherent need for professional boundaries, safety protocols, and a high level of anatomical knowledge.
Our structured process ensures that every session is:
- Anatomically Informed: Grounded in the science of movement.
- Culturally Respectful: Honoring the Balinese spirit and the roots of Yoga.
- Logistically Flawless: Removing all stress from the client so they can focus on their Prana (life force).
Step 1: The Comprehensive Discovery & Consultation
The journey doesn’t begin on the mat; it begins with a conversation. Before our instructors ever arrive at your villa, we perform a deep-dive Wellness Consultation.
Understanding Your “Why”
Every body is a unique history of movements, injuries, and aspirations. Our intake process goes beyond “Are you a beginner?” We explore:
- Biomechanical History: Recent surgeries, chronic back pain, or joint sensitivity.
- Somatic Goals: Are you looking for Vinyasa for vitality, or Yin for nervous system regulation?
- Ayurvedic Insights: We assess your current state of balance—looking for signs of excess Vata (anxiety/scattered energy) or Pitta (burnout/heat)—to choose the right style of practice.
The Professional Difference
By gathering this data, we ensure that our instructors arrive prepared. We don’t spend the first 20 minutes of your expensive session asking questions; we spend it executing a plan.
Step 2: Bespoke Program Design & Teacher Matching
Once we have your wellness profile, our Studio Director curates your program. At ADDA YOGA Bali, we take pride in our diverse faculty of highly certified instructors, each with their own “superpower.”
The “Perfect Match” System
If our consultation reveals you are a high-level executive suffering from “Tech Neck” and high cortisol, we match you with an instructor specializing in Functional Anatomy and Yoga Nidra. If you are a group of friends looking for a high-energy “flow” to start a celebration, we send a Vinyasa Flow specialist.
Vinyasa Krama (Intelligent Sequencing)
Your program is built on the principle of Vinyasa Krama—the art of step-by-step progression. We don’t just throw you into a “peak pose.” We design a sequence that prepares your joints and muscles progressively, ensuring that every movement is a building block toward a safe and successful practice.
Step 3: Seamless Logistics & Sacred Space Set-Up
A major part of the “Trust” factor in E-E-A-T is reliability. At ADDA YOGA, we view the logistics of a villa session as part of the ritual.
Bringing the Studio to You
You shouldn’t have to worry about whether your villa has enough mats or if they are the “slippery” kind. Our logistical team handles the “heavy lifting”:
- Premium Equipment: We provide high-density, non-slip mats and eco-friendly props (cork blocks, cotton straps, and bolsters).
- Sanitization Protocols: In a post-pandemic world, hygiene is paramount. All equipment is deep-cleaned with organic, antimicrobial oils between every single use.
- Ambiance Curation: Our instructors arrive 15 minutes early to “scout” the villa. We look for the best natural light, the direction of the breeze, and the quietest corner. We set the “container” for your practice, often bringing subtle elements like Balinese incense or essential oils to clear the space energetically.
Step 4: Guided Practice, Hands-on Mastery & Integration
When the session begins, the focus shifts entirely to your experience. This is where our Experience shines.
Authoritative Instruction
Our teachers use clear, simple, yet technically accurate cues. We focus on Proprioception—helping you understand where your body is in space. This prevents the “over-stretching” that often happens in group classes where students try to keep up with the person next to them.
Consent-Based Adjustments
Physical adjustments are a powerful tool for deepening a practice, but they must be rooted in trust. Our instructors follow a strict consent protocol. We use “hands-on” techniques only to improve alignment and safety, never to force a body into a shape it isn’t ready for.
The Integration Phase
The most important part of a yoga class is the 10 minutes after the class. We conclude every in-villa program with a period of Savasana (corpse pose) and a brief integration talk. We provide you with “take-home” cues—simple movements or breathing exercises you can do at your desk or on the plane to sustain the benefits of the session.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- How do I book a private yoga session at my villa with ADDA YOGA? Our booking process is streamlined for your convenience. You can start by filling out our online inquiry form or messaging us on WhatsApp. We will then send you our digital “Wellness Discovery” form to begin Step 1 of our process.
- Do I need a large space in my villa for a yoga class? Not necessarily. Our instructors are experts at adapting to various environments. As long as there is enough room for a yoga mat (approx. 2 x 1 meters per person) and a little bit of clearance for your arms, we can create a successful setup. We have taught on rooftops, by infinity pools, and in living rooms.
- Can you accommodate injuries like a herniated disc or “runner’s knee”? Yes. This is exactly why our 4-step process is essential. During the consultation phase, we identify these issues and assign an instructor with specific training in Yoga Therapy or Anatomy to ensure your practice promotes healing rather than further irritation.
- What is included in the price of an in-villa wellness session? Our rates are all-inclusive. This includes the instructor’s travel time, the personalized program design, the use of premium mats and props, and a customized aromatherapy experience. There are no hidden “travel fees” for locations within our primary service zones in Bali.
- How far in advance should I schedule my in-villa wellness program? To ensure we can match you with the best teacher for your specific needs, we recommend booking at least 72 hours in advance. However, for long-term programs (3+ days), booking 1–2 weeks ahead is best to secure your preferred sunrise or sunset time slots.
- What happens if I need to cancel my private yoga session? We understand that travel plans can change. We have a transparent cancellation policy.
To confirm your booking, a 50% non-refundable deposit of the total amount is required. This deposit can be paid via PayPal (credit card), with a 5% processing fee borne by the customer. The remaining balance is to be paid directly to the teacher in cash. 💵
Changes to the number of students can be made up to 48 hours before the scheduled class. If the number of students decreases less than 48 hours before the class without prior communication, the full amount for the originally agreed-upon number of students will be charged. Increasing the number of students is generally not an issue, but please let us know as soon as possible. 🗓️
Cancellations made less than 48 hours before the class will result in the forfeiture of the 50% deposit. 🚫
