The Yoga Barn

This guide to The Yoga Barn in Ubud traces its start in 2007, when a New Yorker named Meghan Pappenheim opened a two-room studio by the river with her husband Pak Dek and a Californian friend named Charley Patton. You'll hear how word spread among travelers who came for one class and stayed a season, and how four daily classes in two small studios grew into dozens taught across seven bamboo shalas. It's a story about three strangers who landed in the same corner of Bali and decided not to leave.
