Yoga in Senggigi: Classes by the Sea at Mandalika Spa, Holiday Resort Lombok

There is something about doing yoga near the sea. The sound of the water slows your breathing, the light is soft, and an hour on the mat feels like a small holiday inside the holiday. At Holiday Resort Lombok in Senggigi, Mandalika Spa runs two weekly yoga classes: one open to everyone, and one just for guests staying at the resort. This guide explains both, how to sign up, and how to turn a class into a proper wellness day.

What yoga classes are there in Senggigi at the resort?

Mandalika Spa runs two classes every week. Both last 60 minutes and are booked through the spa.

All levels are welcome and mats are provided, so you do not need to bring anything except comfortable clothes. Schedules can change from time to time; the yoga page always shows the class dates that are open for sign-up.

Tuesday evening: the Public Yoga Class

The Tuesday class starts at 17:00, as the heat of the day fades. It is open to everyone, whether you are staying at the resort, living on Lombok or simply passing through Senggigi. At IDR 50,000 per person, it is an easy, affordable way to try yoga by the sea.

Friday morning: the Guest Yoga Class

The Friday class starts at 07:00, before breakfast, and is free for in-house guests. Morning yoga is a gentle way to wake up the body, and you will still have the whole day ahead of you. If you are not staying at the resort, the Tuesday Public Yoga Class is the one for you.

Why practise yoga in Senggigi?

Senggigi is on Lombok's west coast, facing the sea. It is a calm place to slow down, which is exactly what yoga is about. A class here combines movement, breathing and a setting that makes it easy to switch off from screens and schedules.

There is also good reason to keep moving on holiday. The World Health Organization recommends that adults do at least 150 to 300 minutes of moderate physical activity every week. A yoga class or two is a pleasant way to count some of those minutes.

Research on yoga is growing, too. The US National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health has a clear summary of what the research says about yoga's effectiveness and safety. It also notes that yoga is generally considered safe for healthy people when practised properly, and that anyone with a health condition should talk to their health care provider first. If that applies to you, tell the instructor in your sign-up note.

How do you sign up for a class?

Signing up takes a minute, and there is no payment online:

1. Open the yoga page and choose the class and the date.
2. Enter your name and WhatsApp number, how many people are coming, and whether you are staying at the resort.
3. Add a note for the instructor if there is anything they should know, such as an injury, a pregnancy, or that it is your first time.
4. Send the form. The spa team confirms your place. If you are staying at the resort, they may also call your room.

A few rules keep things simple:

• Online sign-up closes 60 minutes before the class starts.
• One sign-up can include up to 10 people.
• For the Public Yoga Class, you pay on the day of the class.
• The Friday class is for in-house guests only, and there is nothing to pay.

Prefer to message? You can reach Mandalika Spa on WhatsApp at +62 878 9741 8284.

What happens after you sign up?

After you send the form, WhatsApp opens with your sign-up already written in. Press send there, so the spa also receives it on WhatsApp. The spa team then confirms your place. If you are staying at the resort, they may call your room instead. On the day, come to the class a few minutes early, and for the Tuesday class, pay on the spot.

Who is the class for?

The short answer: almost anyone who would like an hour of calm movement. All levels are welcome, so you do not need any experience.

• Beginners: a relaxed group class is a friendly way to start. Mention in your note that it is your first time, so the instructor knows.
• Regular yoga practitioners: a class by the sea is a pleasant way to keep your practice going while you travel.
• Couples and friends: one sign-up covers up to 10 people, so you can book together.
• Guests staying a week: join the free Friday morning class and the Tuesday evening class, and you have two sessions in the same week.

Make it a wellness day at Mandalika Spa

A yoga class pairs naturally with a spa treatment. Mandalika Spa is open every day from 08:00 to 22:00, with the last appointment at 21:00, and all spa prices are nett. A few treatments from the spa menu:

The full list of massages, body scrubs, wraps, baths, facials and kids' treatments is on the Mandalika Spa page, and you can book a treatment online there too.

Here is one easy way to plan a wellness day around the Tuesday class:

• Morning: a slow breakfast and a swim.
• Afternoon: a massage or a body scrub at Mandalika Spa.
• 17:00 – 18:00: the Public Yoga Class as the day cools down.
• Evening: dinner by the sea at Kayangan, the resort's beachfront restaurant.

A few tips for your first class

• Arrive a few minutes early so you can settle in calmly before 17:00 or 07:00.
• Wear light, comfortable clothes you can move and stretch in.
• Eat lightly beforehand. A big meal just before a class is rarely comfortable.
• Bring water, especially for the Tuesday class at the end of a warm day.
• Go at your own pace. All levels are welcome; the instructor is there to help, and there is no need to keep up with anyone.

Stay longer, relax more

If a single class leaves you wanting more, staying at the resort means the free Friday morning class is yours as well, alongside the pools, the beach and the spa. You can compare all rooms and suites. Over the holidays, our Christmas and New Year's Eve guide lists the festive events and room rates, and for a slow afternoon by the water, the guide to d'Cabana Beach Club explains daybeds and cabanas.

Roll out your mat by the sea

Whether it is your first class or your hundredth, yoga in Senggigi is a chance to breathe a little deeper and enjoy where you are. Choose your class on the yoga sign-up page, and the Mandalika Spa team will save your place.
