Active Consciousness Meditation in Ubud, Bali
Breathe Deeply, Let Go & Discover the Stillness Within
Mondays, Wednesdays, and Sundays, 5:00-6:30pm
The Yoga Barn in Ubud, Bali
What if finding inner peace wasn’t about stopping your thoughts, but learning to move beyond them?
Join Punnu Wasu for Active Consciousness Meditation, a powerful 90-minute journey through conscious breathing, chakra awareness and deep inner stillness. Set in the peaceful surroundings of The Yoga Barn in Ubud, this guided meditation invites you to step away from the noise of everyday life, reconnect with yourself and discover what happens when you truly let go.
Unlike traditional silent meditation, this practice begins with active, rhythmic breathing and focused awareness on the seven main chakras, the body’s energy centres in yogic tradition. The breath moves the energy and tension that the body has been holding, and it gives a restless mind something clear to focus on. Step by step, Punnu guides you through each chakra, so you can feel how your body, your emotions and your energy are connected.
As the active phase comes to an end, you move into stillness. The body rests, the breath becomes quiet and the mind settles naturally, without any force. Many people experience a release of tension, a deeper awareness of their emotions and a fresh sense of energy. Come as you are, breathe, explore and experience meditation in a different way.
Active Consciousness Meditation
What Makes Active Consciousness Meditation Special?
Have you ever tried to meditate, only to find your mind becoming even busier? You are not alone, because for many people, sitting quietly and trying to stop their thoughts can feel almost impossible. Active Consciousness Meditation takes a different approach. Instead of beginning with silence, it uses conscious, rhythmic breathing and focused awareness to help you connect with your body and move beyond the constant activity of the mind. This is why many people who believe they “can’t meditate” find that, at the end of the class, meditation simply happens by itself.
Is This Meditation Class Right for You?
The class is open to everyone, from complete beginners to people who have meditated for many years. Beginners like it because the guidance is clear and the active breathing makes it easier to switch off a busy mind. Experienced meditators come back because the practice keeps taking them deeper into their own energy and awareness. Because the breathing is strong, please speak with your doctor before joining if you are pregnant, or if you have a heart condition, high blood pressure, epilepsy or a serious mental health condition, and let Punnu know before class so he can guide you to a gentler version.
How to Prepare for Your Class
Try not to eat a heavy meal in the two hours before class, because active breathing feels much easier on a light stomach. Wear comfortable clothes that don't press on your belly, and bring a bottle of water and maybe a light shawl for the resting part at the end. This class is popular with locals and travellers, so plan to arrive early, especially in the busy season in Ubud. Most of all, come with an open mind and no expectations, because every class is a different experience.
Where does the meditation take place?
The class takes place at The Yoga Barn, one of the best-known yoga and healing centres in Bali. The address is Jalan Hanoman, Pengosekan, Ubud, Gianyar, Bali 80571, Indonesia. The Yoga Barn is a short walk from the centre of Ubud, down a small lane off Jalan Hanoman, and it is surrounded by gardens and rice fields. If you come by scooter or taxi, simply ask for The Yoga Barn, as most drivers in Ubud know it well.
How do I book, and when should I arrive?
You can book your place through The Yoga Barn schedule. Please arrive at The Yoga Barn reception at least 30 minutes before class begins to secure your spot, because this class is popular with locals and travellers and often fills up, especially in the busy season in Ubud.
The first time I did the Active Consciousness Meditation class at the Yoga Barn with Punnu I was blown away. I was not expecting to go so deep, so quickly. I thought, “Ahh, Meditation, I’ll go and relax.” I had no idea I would be using breathing techniques to help me get to my centre, and in doing so closer to my true Self. The physical and energetic effects are intense, and immediate.
