Hi, no, I'm not doing the yoga retreat, and I know that you have probably already booked your visit, however I just thought I'd mention a place we visited a couple of months ago.
I also like to do yoga while in Bali but, because we stay in Sanur have a lovely girl called Jen who gives me private lessons. Last trip we drove around the whole island, and stayed at a place called Gajah Mina, at Balian beach up on the west coast. They do yoga retreats there as well, and have the most exquisite "yoga temple" perched on the headland above the beach. The food at the restaurant was fantastic, as was the rooms and the location. As no retreat was happenning while I was there, I had free use of the temple. Cows mooing and the gentle sounds of the beach just below.
Anyway, we're going back next year, its just another alternative to consider besides Ubud.
