This New Year’s Eve  join us for our Yoga Retreat for 6 days/5 nights in Ubud Bali. (Some rooms still available.)

To rejuvenate, nurture and renew  in a new exotic environment will inspire you for a healthy start for 2012.  Our Yoga Health Retreat in Ubud captures the essence of  Bali which has a unique blend of lush landscapes, and an exotic culture. The Balinese people are re nound for their warmth and friendliness. Bali is a beautiful and spiritual place that has a tropical climate all year round, and offers many interesting and wonderful experiences.

Ubud is famous as the artistic and cultural heart of Bali. There are many art museums to see traditional and modern paintings. The Ubud people are warm and friendly and many are painters, dancers, musicians and carvers. The cool weather in the hill is perfect for nature walks, or visit the monkey forest or the colourful markets with their bright and typically Balinese crafted stalls.

The retreat is surrounded by beautiful rice paddies in a quiet and peaceful environment yet very close to shops, fabulous restaurants, affordable day spas, galleries and temples to visit in your free time. Do as little or as much as you like!

The focus will be to re-connect with yourself as well as connecting with Balinese culture on a relaxing retreat with a lovely group of like-minded people. These retreats attract many people traveling alone which creates a nice camaraderie with others during the week. Regular practice of yoga and meditation strengthens the mind and body to create an inner harmony. Daily spiritual intention naturally takes us to a deeper place within ourselves and brings more meaning into our daily lives.But perhaps the biggest part of attending a yoga health retreat is simply changing your daily habits. By temporarily pulling yourself back from your social community, it also gives you a chance to evaluate situations in your life and how they may be positively or negatively affecting you.

It’s also a special time just for yourself, relax, rejuvenate and enjoy!

Our  yoga and meditation classes are taught in a friendly and safe way according to the group level with health, age and lifestyle fully considered. All levels of experience are welcome and an assistant is present in each session to guide  students new to yoga and give adjustments to more experienced yogis.

Bali NYE Yoga Retreat Program

This Yoga and meditation retreat is an opportunity to reflect and re-evaluate your life from a different perspective. The effects are often felt for months after the retreat has finished creating an opportunity for a life changing experience.

The yoga part of the program begins with an easy sequence of flowing postures to strengthen the body, integrating some core strength and balancing postures, and working with the breath. The afternoons are a time for inner reflection with a restorative and relaxation practice, often incorporating a Yoga Nidra (deep relaxation) practice. Restorative yoga is wonderful for healing the effects of chronic stress when you practice it regularly.

During the retreat we will participate in cultural activities i.e. trip to Mount Batur then cycle down through villages, meeting the locals with a tour guide all the way back to Ubud. Takes approx 3-4hrs. A fantastic experience to get a taste of the Balinese way of life. A Balinese Priest will perform a blessing ceremony to the gods to bless the group and to clear energy for our week of yoga.  A special Eco scenic walk will be offered to take us through rice paddies and villages discovering the way of Balinese life and many of the flora that surrounds the area with an expert guide.

There is plenty of time to relax, use the day spa and to stroll and shop around Ubud and visit many of the art galleries.
