3-day yoga retreat in Bali.

I thought it was a bit pricey, but the attentive treatment made up for it. Maybe I’m just used to backpacking. The room looked great, but the walls were so thin you could hear everything next door and downstairs. I really enjoyed the retreat; it exceeded my expectations. The yoga was just the right level of challenge, and the sound healing and breath work were essential for healing. I’m grateful for everything and happy I had this experience!

I was disappointed and sad about this retreat that I had high hopes for. The communication was not good, and the program did not match the package and schedule I was promised. It was not my first time in Bali, so I don’t understand why the retreat only lasted less than a day and a half instead of the promised 3 days.

On top of that, there were issues with the room not being as advertised, being close to a noisy construction site, and having a bad smell and humidity. I had to pay for my own lunch on the first day and all the little drinks throughout the day.

The 7 am classes were free for hotel guests, and the last class wasn’t even taught by a retreat instructor. The breathwork and ice bath took place in my room, which was a surprise. Not all yoga classes were held in the yoga shala.

The schedule was too packed for one day, and there was almost nothing planned on the arrival and departure days. This retreat is not suitable for solo travelers as it takes place in a romantic hotel filled with couples, and all classes are private, which was not disclosed beforehand.

The retreat was too expensive for just one day of activities. I was disappointed not to hear back after expressing my concerns. I think the retreat could have been great if the information provided was accurate.

I loved the class with Dewie, as well as the breathwork and ice bath. They were truly amazing experiences. The hotel was nice, despite the humidity issues and construction nearby. The food was good, and the hotel staff were lovely.

This retreat is not what you’re looking for if you want a proper wellness or spiritual experience. The pictures don’t match up with the reality of the hotel – no one from Shakti was there managing activities. It was a nightmare, I felt like I was the one organizing everything between the hotel and the teachers. Communication was a mess and there was a lack of professionalism from Shakti.

When I arrived, I didn’t even know the hotel wasn’t directly organizing the retreat. They didn’t even know about my booking. The yoga class was held in the general areas of the hotel instead of in a studio. The owner of Shakti, Lila, didn’t handle the issues well and never reached out to apologize or offer a solution. It was overpriced for what you got.

Luckily, I was moved to a much nicer hotel with friendly people, beautiful location, and great food. The good parts of the experience were all thanks to the hotel, not the retreat itself.

I had an amazing stay with Shakti Wellness. Both instructors really connected with each of us and made sure to understand how they could help us on our own journeys. The sessions were just the right mix of relaxation and challenge, and I can’t wait to come back again.

The food didn’t quite hit the mark for me. I thought the prices were a bit high for what we got. The ambience was really peaceful. All the facilities were in good shape. The staff was friendly too.

I absolutely loved it! Unfortunately, my candlelight meditation got cancelled but I didn’t feel like I missed out on anything. The location was so peaceful and away from the center of Ubud. The hotel, which is new and up and coming, had very friendly and helpful staff. The food was amazing, well balanced, and really tasty. The yoga practice and teaching were very good. And let me tell you, the massage was one of the best I’ve ever had! The Breathwork and Ice Bath experience was so interesting and unforgettable. I felt a real connection with Lila and Vena. All the teachers were really great. Short time retreats are a fantastic way to unwind and practice yoga without overwhelming yourself. Lila’s personal approach gives you all the attention you need. It was a wonderful experience overall!
