Note

To make the most of your retreat experience, we recommend preparing your body and mind for at least a week before arrival. This means avoiding alcohol, cigarettes, intoxicants, meat, processed foods, deep fried foods, low-quality vegetable oils, and low-quality or stale food.

Included excursions

You’ll love going on a nature walk to the stunning hidden waterfall. It’s a really peaceful and quiet spot, far from the packed tourist areas. You can even take a dip in the cool, refreshing water to feel completely rejuvenated. Plus, you’ll have the chance to connect with friendly locals and be healed by the beauty of nature.

Retreat location

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. This means there won’t be any noisy traffic or crowds of people to disrupt your yoga practice. The friendly staff at the hotel will happily help you carry your luggage from the main road.

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.

Food

We will serve you delicious and nourishing vegetarian food. We prepare homemade meals that are easy to digest and made with high quality, all-natural ingredients, and lots of love.
You will enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks included in your meals.
