Bali Yoga Bliss
Sunday 1st January - Friday 6 January 2017, 6 days/5 nights. If you're ready for optimal wellbeing, healing and relaxation. Staying in a luxurious small villa resort near Ubud, this is a deeply nourishing and restorative retreat program delving into the still, quiet centre of both Bali and your own spiritual essence. A program designed to restore inner balance, cleanse and bring healing to the physical, mental and emotional bodies through the calming, healing practices of hatha and raja yoga; the gentle healing sounds of the rainforest; a Balinese water blessing ceremony at natural water temple; and bathing in a spectacular waterfall. A retreat to truly rebalance, rest, heal and prepare yourself for the year ahead. |
We know how busy you are managing your life (and probably that of others too) and we respect that your time is precious. On these retreats everything is taken care of ensuring you get the most from every moment.

You'll learn the subtleties of the techniques and be guided in your practice. In the evenings you'll be lulled into a deep, blissful state of relaxation during fully guided sound healing and meditation sessions before sleeping peacefully to the sounds of the rainforest.

Healing Power of NatureOn both retreats we take time to deeply experience nature. From the jungle right outside your bedroom doors to a sunrise trek to the rim of a volcano, to bathing in hot thermal springs and treks deep into the jungle to visit spectacular waterfalls - you will experience the healing power of immersion in nature.

Yoga was traditionally practiced in the ashrams of India under the guidance of a Guru - away from distractions and outside influence. On our retreats we leave behind all those concerns and distractions to deeply and profoundly realise the spiritual and material benefits of yoga, returning to our lives with renewed energy and focus.
