Our retreat takes place in a stunning and cozy boutique hotel owned by a Balinese family. You can easily reach it through a small road, which is only for walking or motorbikes.

Once you step outside the gate, you’ll be greeted by breathtaking nature walks. Along the path, you’ll come across local artists showcasing their incredible artwork, charming organic cafes, delightful homemade treats, and plenty of fresh coconuts to quench your thirst. Every step you take will immerse you in the authentic Balinese way of life, as the locals offer warm smiles to accompany you.
If you’re interested in exploring beyond the hotel, the vibrant center of Ubud is only a short 10-minute trip away.

March 2, 2024 at 12:00 amEverything was not disappointing, but you need to be prepared to step out of your comfort zone and push your boundaries. The food was very healthy, clean, and organic. While the breakfasts were delicious, some of the other meals were a bit plain for my taste, but overall okay. Evelina and Rohil, the teachers, are beautiful people who create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Right from the start, people felt safe to be authentic, share, connect, and support one another. It’s a great environment for personal growth, improvement, and facing fears. Everyone at the retreat was lovely, and the teachers were skilled, patient, and supportive. The whole setup helped create a sense of calmness and peace. The location at Joglo Organik was magical and amazing. I learned a lot, gained courage, felt loved, and connected deeply. I highly recommend any retreat organized by Evelina and Rohil – they put in a lot of effort and do a great job. They are wonderful examples of living a happy life and treating others with kindness. I am grateful for this experience! ♡

February 28, 2024 at 12:00 amI can’t think of anything I didn’t like about this yoga and meditation retreat – it was like a refreshing oasis in the desert for me. When I arrived, my head was filled with a thousand thoughts and total confusion, but after a week since leaving, I feel like a new person. My mind is peaceful, I feel more connected to myself, and my yoga practice is improving every day.
The retreat was filled with love, compassion, friendships, relaxation, and so much more. I didn’t have any expectations when I arrived, but Rohil and Evelina truly made it one of the best experiences of my trip. If anyone is considering this retreat, expect a comfortable location, fresh vegetarian food, caring teachers who are passionate about what they do, various types of meditation, workshops, and outdoor activities.
I am so thankful for everything. Thank you Evelina, thank you Rohil.

February 25, 2024 at 12:00 amThe Purna Yoga retreat welcomed me with open arms from the start, promising an unforgettable journey ahead. Tucked away in a picturesque setting that exuded peace, this sanctuary didn’t just offer yoga – it offered a space for the soul to thrive. Rohil and Ewelina, our knowledgeable instructors, led classes that challenged and nurtured us in equal measure.
The meals prepared by Joglo Organik were a true delight, fueling us with tasty and wholesome dishes that perfectly complemented our daily practices.
The diverse group of attendees added to the vibrant energy and sense of community that filled the retreat. We weren’t just practicing yoga individually; we were a united group on a shared path towards inner peace and well-being.
But the true magic of this experience was embodied by Rohil and Ewelina. Their passion and dedication shone through in every interaction, inspiring us to grow and connect on a deeper level.
In essence, this retreat was more than just yoga – it was a transformative journey guided by exceptional teachers in a place that felt like paradise. I’m grateful for the memories, the growth, and the peace that I found there.

February 24, 2024 at 12:00 amIf I have to mention something I don’t like, it’s that the electricity supply at the guest house wasn’t stable. But that’s common in the countryside. However, the staff will fix it promptly once you let them know about the issue. They are really nice and helpful, always taking care of us and addressing all our concerns, not just during practice but also during leisure time. I’ll definitely recommend my friends to join, and I’ll be coming back too. The meals they serve are delicious and prepared with love. I’m truly grateful for all their effort in making our trip amazing.

November 10, 2023 at 12:00 amThere was some building work going on, but it didn’t damage the tranquility of the space. I can’t say enough about how much I loved this retreat. The teaching was excellent – even though I wasn’t a fan of Ashtanga, Rohil and Ewelina’s classes completely transformed my perspective. Now, I practice Ashtanga every day in my own way, thanks to their accessible and fun approach.
The food was absolutely amazing. From breakfast to supper, the variety of delicious, healthy, fresh, and colorful dishes was exceptional. I couldn’t get enough of it.
The place itself was so peaceful and welcoming, just like the family who owned the hotel. We had a precious afternoon with Grandma, making offerings that was truly special.
Rohil and Ewelina made me feel at ease right from the start. They created safe spaces for each of us to be ourselves both on and off the mat.
The afternoon sessions on philosophy, lifestyle, and technique were insightful, even for someone like me who has already undergone over 200 hours of YTT training. And the meditation evenings were some of the most beautiful I’ve ever experienced. They were led with care and authenticity, allowing us all to truly connect and share some unforgettable moments.
I can’t recommend this retreat enough. I’m already looking forward to the two-week version, if they have it. Huge thanks to Rohil and Ewelina, the amazing ladies, and the lovely family who hosted us.

September 9, 2023 at 12:00 amThe hot water wasn’t consistent, but everything exceeded my expectations. I loved the location and accommodations they provided. Although there was no air conditioning, it wasn’t a big deal for me since I’m used to a similar climate. The best part was the warm welcome I received and the non-judgmental atmosphere, which made it easy for me to feel comfortable right away. As a stay-at-home mom, the ashtanga practice really helped improve my mental health. I think the program would be beneficial for everyone, regardless of their skill level. Plus, they also shared valuable knowledge about Ayurveda, which is a huge perk for any yoga practitioner.

April 20, 2023 at 12:00 amHonestly, I loved everything! Maybe the only downside was that it was a little loud at night with all the frogs and roosters. But luckily, I always have my earplugs with me. Staying with Rohil and Ewelina has been fantastic. They really immerse you in the world of Ashtanga. It’s not just a morning workout; it’s a way of life that helps you discover your mind and body’s abilities. It’s a daily journey of growth and progress. The accommodation was great, and the food was especially delicious.
The retreat was intense, with lots of practice, theory workshops, and even some little trips. We spent a lot of time together, but there was also plenty of time to rest, take a nap, and have some alone time. It was the perfect balance for me. I never felt overwhelmed, just completely immersed in the experience. I highly recommend joining the retreat and discovering all the amazing benefits for yourself. I’m confident you’ll find something meaningful during this week with Rohil and Ewelina.

April 17, 2023 at 12:00 amRohil and Ewelina were incredible teachers who shared their passion for Ashtanga at the retreat. The mysore style practice they offered was suitable for all skill levels, and their expert adjustments greatly improved my practice throughout the week.
The location of the retreat was absolutely stunning, nestled in the midst of picturesque rice fields and surrounded by nature. We even had the pleasure of witnessing fireflies after the most breathtaking sunsets. The hotel, owned by a lovely family, provided a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The homemade vegetarian food they served was simply outstanding.
I highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking to deepen their Ashtanga practice or to start their journey into it. Ewelina and Rohil poured so much love and effort into every aspect of this retreat that you truly feel like part of their family by the end.
