Dawn in Ubud arrives in steam and birdcall; the air rides down from rice terraces and through open pavilions where the day’s session begins. You sit on a yoga mat, palms warm on woven cotton, while an instructor walks the group through breath patterns that make the chest and belly feel like tools rather than obstacles. Later, you lean into an ice bath—cold that demands attention, then gives back a strange clarity.
