Lush rice terraces, amazing trees, striking volcanic landscapes, the sounds of nature and
magical temple dances. Welcome to the tropical paradise of Bali!
Bali’s unique character has always fascinated its visitors. The particular energy of this little Island
of the Gods, the lush vegetation, countless shrines, rich handicrafts, combined with the warm-
heartedness and even temper of the Balinese are legendary. Spectacular wellness spas, tropical
enclosures, holistic healing methods and artists from around the world make the volcanic isle
one of the most popular destinations for Yoga and inspirational journeys, art workshops and
healing methods.
Enjoy Bali’s fascinating nature and energy, practice Mindful Yoga & develop a deeper
Mind-Body Awareness. … and experience a new Vitality and a lasting Relaxation!
In the mornings and evenings we practice Yoga for about 90 to 120 min. Sessions include Pranayama (breathing techniques); classical Hatha Yoga Asanas, sun salutations and other dynamic movements with synchronized breathing and deep relaxation. The complementary singing with harmonium accompaniment and/or just the sound of nature facilitates a deeper involvement and feeling of the asanas. Some Yoga experience is preferred.
In addition to the intensive yoga practice, there will be enough time to explore Bali’s nature & culture: trekking in the rice fields, chocolate groves, coffee plantations, etc.; visiting the Tirta Gangga Palace, Batukaru Temple or taking a jukung (a traditional Indonesian fishing boat) to the White Sand Beach (Candidasa). Or if you simply wish to relax, you might indulge yourself with a Balinese Massage, read a book or just enjoy the beautiful views of the ocean (at Seraya) or the rice paddies (at Bali Eco Stay).
Bali Eco Stay
Our Yoga Retreat begins on November 12 at Bali Eco Stay, a small boutique mountain resort with 8 uniquely designed Balinese bungalows and pondoks, each with a distinctively different character. The resort is situated on the southern slopes of Mount Batukaru, north Tabanan, central Bali. The resort is hidden in a remote valley with views to the ocean south of Bali, surrounded by stunning organic rice fields, mountain fed streams and cascading waterfalls. This beautiful Eco Lodge has its own private waterfall on site! We will be pampered with freshly farmed and prepared vegetarian Balinese cuisine and pure volcanic spring water.

Seraya Shores
On the 17th of November we will move to Seraya Shores, a boutique beachside resort in East Bali. Nestled on the shores of the Lombok Straits with its own private coastline bay, you will stay in one of the seven private villas built with natural carved timbers and thatched grass roofs, with spacious decks to relax in. We will be pampered with a rich variety of vegetarian dishes inspired by Indonesian cuisine. Asides from all the comfort of a beach resort, Seraya offers one of the best views in Bali for a yoga practice at its outdoor yoga space, with coconut timber flooring under the shaded alang-alang grass roofs. With the accompaniment of the gentle waves on the shore, no music is necessary for a beautiful and inspiring practice here.
