Experience a transformative 3-day yoga retreat in serene Ubud, Bali, to renew and revitalize your mind, body, and soul.

I thought it was quite expensive, but the attentive treatment made it worth it. Maybe I just have a backpacker’s mentality. The room looked beautiful, but the walls were so thin that you could hear everything happening next door and below. However, I absolutely loved this retreat! It exceeded my expectations. The yoga classes were perfect, providing just the right amount of challenge. The sound healing and breath work were essential for the healing aspect of the retreat. I truly appreciated everything and I’m incredibly happy that I got to experience this!

I’m disappointed and sad about this retreat that I had high expectations for. The communication is poor and the program doesn’t match the package and schedule that was originally planned. It’s not my first time in Bali, so I don’t understand why the retreat only lasts less than a day and a half instead of the advertised 3 days on the website.

On top of that, there were issues with the room not matching the photo and it being near a noisy construction site. There was also a bad smell and humidity in the room. I had to pay for my own lunch on the first day and all the small drinks throughout the day.

The 7am classes are supposed to be free for hotel guests, but the last class wasn’t even taught by a retreat instructor. The breathwork and ice bath took place in my room, which surprised me. Not all of the yoga classes were held in the yoga shala.

The schedule was too packed for one day and there was hardly anything scheduled on the arrival and departure days.

This retreat is not for solo travelers, as it takes place in a romantic hotel filled with couples and all the classes are private, which wasn’t mentioned beforehand.

Lastly, the retreat is very expensive for only one day of activities. I was disappointed to not receive any response to my message expressing my concerns.

I think this retreat could have been great if the correct information was communicated. I loved the class with Dewie, as well as the breathwork and ice bath. I think those activities were even incredible.

The hotel is nice, despite the major humidity problem and construction nearby. The food was good and the hotel staff were lovely.

If you’re seeking a proper wellness/spiritual retreat, this retreat is not the one for you. The photos don’t match the actual hotel and the activities are not managed by Shakti, despite what they claim. It was a complete nightmare trying to organize everything between the hotel and the teachers, and the lack of clear instructions caused constant disorganization and frustration. The hotel was also unaware of the booking and the retreat itself. The yoga class didn’t even take place in a proper yoga studio but in the hotel’s general areas. Lila, the owner of Shakti, showed no leadership skills in handling the issues and left it all to the teachers. She never reached out to apologize or offer a solution. In terms of quality and value for money, the retreat is highly overrated. However, the only positive aspects were related to the hotel itself, including the beautiful location, friendly people, and delicious food.

I had an amazing time at Shakti Wellness. The instructors were so friendly and really made an effort to get to know all of us and figure out how they could support us on our personal journeys. The sessions were just the right mix of relaxed and challenging, and I can’t wait to come back again someday.

I found the food a little disappointing. In my opinion, the services we received were a bit pricey. However, the overall ambience was very serene and I found all the facilities to be good. The staff were also friendly.

I wasn’t disappointed at all 🙂 Unfortunately, they cancelled my candlelight meditation, but it didn’t feel like I missed out on anything.

The location was wonderful and peaceful, away from the center of Ubud. The hotel is new and up and coming, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing, well balanced, and really tasty. The yoga practice and teaching were very good. And let me tell you, I had one of the best massages ever! I had a very interesting and unforgettable experience with Breathwork and Ice Bath. I truly felt a connection with Lila and Vena. Actually, all the teachers were really great ?
Short time retreats are a fantastic way to unwind and practice yoga without overwhelming yourself. Lila has a personalized approach, and you get all the attention you need.
