Yoga & Meditation
​
As experienced yoga teachers, we provide daily opportunities for meditation and yoga practice. Feel free to participate as much or as little as you like. Our most loved teaching styles include: Hatha, restorative, yoga nidra and Yin. We are both Yoga Alliance Certified with years of experience leading students and teachers alike.
Each day we'll gather in the shala for yoga and meditation (as able with scheduling). Our yoga classes encompass a range of breathwork, meditation, flow, hatha, restorative, and nidra. Additionally, our workshops cover journaling, embodiment practices, and open discussions. Participation is optional, and no prior experience is necessary.
​
Whether you're stepping onto a yoga mat for the first time or you're a seasoned practitioner, there's always something new to learn. Yoga offers not only physical benefits but also helps unite your physical and energetic bodies, fostering a deeper connection with oneself and the present moment. Through practices like concentration and letting go, we delve into the essence of yoga, exploring within ourselves and embracing the art of being.

FAQ'S
Do I need a passport?
Yes! If you aren’t a resident of Indonesia, you’ll need a passport to travel internationally. Be sure to check your airports recommended arrival times for departures, in our area we have to arrive 3 hours prior to departure for international travel (and they mean business!)
How do I get to the resort from the airport?
We got you! Group transport is provided, please coordinate with our agent.
I want to book with a friend/partner, can we share a room?
Absolutely, as long as there is a shared room available, let us know who you want to room with and we can make that happen!
Do I need travel insurance?
Yes, we require our guests to carry travel medical insurance. Options for trip protection should you not be able to make the trip for any reason. You can secure this through your bank/credit cards or other providers. Our travel agent can also set you up.
I only speak English. Will that be okay?
Almost everywhere you go in Bali you’ll be able to find someone who at least speaks a little bit of English
I have food allergies/restrictions, what do I do?
Prior to arriving you will receive a registration form where you can list your allergies and restrictions.
Is participation in all activities and schedule mandatory?
Absolutely not. This retreat is about your self discovery and we support you fully in doing what feels right for you. Take what you’d like and leave the rest or join us for them all. There will be no reward at the end for who does the most on the schedule ;)
Do I need any vaccinations?
There are no mandatory vaccinations (unless you’re arriving from countries with high yellow fever risk). Hepatitis A, typhoid, tetanus, Dukoral (travellers diarrhea/Bali belly) are often recommended. Talk to your health care provider to determine what is recommended for you & inform them of any additional travel areas you may visit if you extend your stay. We recommend inquiring well in advance.
Are there any Covid 19 policies or restrictions?
Currently there are none.
This is my first time traveling internationally, is there anything I should know?
Check your passport expiration date to ensure that it does not expire before or during your stay. Passport renewals are taking a bit longer right now, so if you do need to renew, do this as soon as possible
Check your airports recommended arrival times for departures, in our area we have to arrive 3 hours prior to departure for international travel
Check the airport packing list to see if you can bring the items you are planning on taking and the weight of the luggage you are allowed to bring. If you are bringing a carry on, read over carefully what is allowed to come on board the plane. Many people lose their grooming tools, lotions and sprays because of restrictions for carry on. Water must be purchased after you have gone through security but you can bring an empty bottle with you to fill.
​
I’m coming solo, will this be weird?
Absolutely not! I think that this is the most incredible way to travel solo. Booking a shared room? What a terrific opportunity to meet a new friend.
​
​A chat group to connect all of our retreaters will be set up prior to travel.
What currency should I bring?
The currency is the rupiah (IDR). Indonesia is a cash-first country. Expect tours, taxis and meals to be paid for in cash. Credit cards are not widely accepted outside of tourist areas.
​
​Respectful bartering is part of Balinese culture. Taxi rides & tours are negotiable.
Will there be wifi?
Yes, there is free wifi access at the resort
Where do I fly into?
Denpasar International Airport in Bali, Indonesia. There are several connecting routes on your way to the Land of the Gods. We have an agent that can coordinate your flights for you.
What is Bali Belly?
Filtered water only – don’t worry, this is provided for you at the resort. Bring a refillable non-glass water bottle. Don’t drink from the tap. Our bodies cannot tolerate the water in Asia like the locals can. Similar to travel in Mexico. Resorts are fine, skip ice in your drinks when you venture out.
What do I need to bring?
Upon registration you will receive a packing list and an automated email will go out before we depart with any updates and reminders
What is the weather like?
Bali averages 24-33 degrees C in January. Expect tropical rain showers and some days with little or no rain. Higher elevations may be cooler dropping to 10-15C at night.
