Walking into the movement Matters Studio has become a life-changing experience for me. Suffering from a sliding vertebra in my lower spine I walked into the Movement Matters Studio. During the first few months Sook helped me to get back some strength into my core with Pilates exercises and a little bit of "arch and curl". Then I discovered gyrotonic. Training with Chelah has been exceptional. She tailored the exercises to what I was capable of doing at the time, and my body has made improvements I have never considered possible. Dedicated, highly professional, playful and with gentle guidance Chelah introduced the holistic concept of heart, mind and body opening gyrotonic to me. The fluent movements with elaborated equipment offer countless variations and helped restoring my confidence in my own body. I have come to love gyro and don’t want to miss it anymore. It’s been a wonderful journey so far. Thank you, Sook! Thank you, Chelah!

I thought I might have tried Yoga while in Bali. That was not the case. Instead I saw that I was living just next to a Pilatesstudio - after 10 times with Åsa, I'm hooked. WHY PILATES - was my first thought. I knew heard a bit about Yoga but not Pilates. Pilates is a great compliment to my usual barbell workouts in the gym. It works with active stretch, joint mobility, supporting muscles, general core stability and balance. After a few classes, my conclusion is that every person from office worker, to construction worker, young and old will have some benefits from pilates. 5 out of 5 - Studio (relaxing, great fans, fresh water and good sound) - Variation (Åsa used a lot of different equipment and the sessions varied a lot). - Location (you can park your scooter in the ally where the studio is. It's just outside of the busy Ubud in Penestanan, which is perfect). - Åsa (super experienced and knowledgable, very professional and nice, hawk eyes, sees everyone and makes it easy to adjust to your level, super CLEAR instructions, makes you UNDERSTAND pilates, quick in communication and just a nice person :) ). I warmly recommend you trying Pilates with Åsa! If you come to try Yoga, also give this a try - you will not be disappointed. I did 10 classes with mostly beginner and some intermediate. The beginner is great even for me who has basic strength. The intermediate is a bit more demanding on muscle stamina and that you got some of the bracing basics down. Will continue when I get back home to Sweden for sure!

I did my 200 hours yoga teacher training and it was truly an amazing experience! Words cannot describe how good this course has been. I really enjoyed all the yoga classes, the yoga philosophy and the deep conversations we had. Sheila is great in teaching and has a lot of knowledge to share. The course was built up perfectly. The location was also fantastic. I was a beginner when I started, but with all the knowledge this month gave me I am feeling very confident and happy about where I am today in my yoga practice. Thank you so much for this opportunity. Cannot wait to be back:)

I had a few massage done in Bali and was so disappointed, until I found this place. It's true is more expensive than other spas but I understood why. All girls are professional, they really know their job... massage and fascial were great plus everywhere so clean. After our first massage (I brought my mom too) we were given a 20% voucher discount for our next visit which was highly appreciated. This spa should be in the 5 top ones in Ubud. I love receiving massage and have done it all over the world in 5 stars hotels and Sense spa deserves my 10 minutes time to connect on trip advisor and write this review.

We had a wonderful 3.5 hour couples pampering session. It was super relaxing, I felt super pampered. Started off with body scrub, followed by a wrap, body massage and facial. The setting is extremely tranquil with the river running in the background. It isn't cheap but wonderful for a special occasion. I could easily spend the whole day here!

I took both trainings and I had an amazing experience, Jose is a Great Teacher and I enjoyed every second of it. I had the opportunity to train on a safe and respectful environment, in which I learned so much about the biomechanics of the Body and experienced an impressive increase on my range of motion throughout the trainings.

Puspa and Tari were great . Grateful to Puspa for inviting us to the dance performance with the her family in the temple during her visit. She also led a fun Balinese dance class and offering making workshop. Tari in the massage center was very nice and adept. The staff at each meal was very attentive and helpful. I enjoyed breakfast. Short walk into town if you desire. Bring your bug spray if you are particularly tasty to mosquitoes.
