The short answer
Yes. Sanur to Ubud is about 45 to 60 minutes, faster before 8am, so the 8:30am morning session with the Ubud market visit is realistic. Warung Tumang Bali offers an optional private shuttle from Sanur at IDR 650.000 once per booking, not per person, or you can use your own driver or an online car and meet the kitchen on site for free.

How long the drive takes
Sanur to Ubud is about 45 to 60 minutes, and faster before 8am. The afternoon peak can stretch the drive home past an hour. Petulu is about 10 minutes beyond central Ubud.
The morning market is realistic from Sanur
The 8:30am morning session is the only one with the Ubud market visit. Early roads from Sanur are light, so you can see the market, walk the Petulu rice fields, cook, and eat lunch, then be back at the beach in the afternoon.
The 2:30pm afternoon session skips the market and ends in dinner at about 5:30pm. Morning or afternoon compares the two.
What to tell the kitchen
Send the hotel name, the session, the number of guests, and how you are getting there: shuttle, own driver, or online car. Vegetarian or vegan cooks at the same stove; say so when you book.
