The Bali Vinyasa Yoga Retreat
October 8- 16 2025
9 Magical Days: Where Ancient Wisdom Meets Luxury in Bali's Most Enchanting Locations
Why Bali?
Because where else can you flow through sun salutations while monkeys cheer you on (okay, maybe judge a little)? Bali is not just a destination; it’s a vibe, a magical blend of stunning beaches, lush jungles, and a culture so warm it feels like a hug. It’s the kind of place where your soul exhales, your Instagram pops, and your worries melt faster than gelato in the tropical sun. For a yoga retreat, it’s perfection. Think daily flows in paradise, sunsets that feel like a spiritual experience, and a chance to say, "I found my zen... in Bali!"
We are doing things a little differently this time. We will have retreat support prior to our arrival AND A local guide with us for the entire Bali adventure.

After the ride, you'll visit the stunning rice terraces of Tegalalang. You can then browse the vibrant local village market, offering an array of clothing, textiles, leather goods, and handmade souvenirs.

Before you start your day, you will have an hour-long private wellness or fitness class at the hotel’s yoga pavilion. During your wellness retreat, you will have the opportunity to dedicate time to enhancing your practice.
After breakfast, the day is yours to explore Ubud at your leisure. Consider starting at the Ubud Monkey Forest—a lush nature reserve and temple complex on the outskirts of Ubud, home to over one hundred species of trees, a number of interesting temples, and hundreds of crab-eating macaque monkeys.
Or, choose to walk through the local market which is always bustling with activity, and eventually stop at Ubud Palace. The local royal family still resides in the palace, but you are free to wander around most of the compound, discovering the ornate architecture and learning about the Asta Kosala Kosali tradition of house building, a method not dissimilar to the ancient art of Feng Shui.

After finishing your wellness class, you will have the great opportunity to meet and interact with Balinese people and experience how families live and work together in their natural daily environment.
There will be plenty of photo opportunities as you pass scenic vistas and interesting villages en route to Subak Guliang, a traditional farming village and compound in the center of the island.
The local houses in the village compounds are architecturally unique when compared with other regions of Indonesia.
Begin your local encounter by preparing breakfast in the Balinese compound. Seasonal tropical fruits will be served as well as soft drinks, mineral water, coffee, tea, and Balinese cookies.
Invigorated by your fresh breakfast, the rest of your time here will be dedicated to exploring the local vicinity – take a stroll through local farms, witness the rural life of the Balinese people or learn more about the complexities of rice growing - from planting and harvesting through to the best methods of cooking it.
Acquire knowledge of the simple but effective irrigation system known locally as Subak or just sit back and take it all in whilst enjoying fresh coconut water, one of nature’s most delicious drinks.
Lunch will be served right in the middle of the rice field with the soft background of traditional Rindik music played on bamboo instruments. In the rice field, you will have an opportunity to join a workshop for making an offering basket and preparing a simple offering. Once finished with this preparation, put on your sarong & sash (provided by the village) and come to a nearby village temple by the rice field and do a simple blessing conducted by a village local priest.
(*) Please understand that – according to Balinese Hindu beliefs – this “blessing” ritual cannot be arranged for women during menstruation.

The temple is only accessible at low tide but despite its off-shore location in the Indian Ocean, it features a freshwater spring at its base which is said to contain holy water. As a result, the temple is extremely sacred and Balinese visit from all over the island to drink the water and splash it over their bodies in order to cleanse themselves of any bad spirits.
The temple’s inner sanctum is located on top of the rocky outcrop and only accessible to Balinese Hindus. You will arrive in time for sunset when photographic opportunities abound.

“The Athens and Amorgos trip in Greece was a blast. I made some new friends and really didn’t want to leave! Amorgos was so awesome. Have our own yoga studio overlooking the bay made it even more special. The journals and the daily journal prompts were excellent additions to our journey of renewal and self reflection. Thank you Lauren and Erica for the life changing experience.”

Bali wasn't just another stamp in my passport – it was a soul-stirring journey that completely redefined what travel means to me. Every sunrise over the emerald rice terraces, every incense-scented temple visit, and every warm smile from the local people wove together to create something far beyond a typical vacation. This magical island became my personal paradise, etching itself into my heart as the most extraordinary adventure I've ever embarked upon. Words almost feel inadequate to capture the profound impact this journey had on me, but I'm bursting with excitement to share every magical moment, from the spiritual awakening in Ubud to the breathtaking coastal sunsets. Bali didn't just meet my expectations – it completely transformed them, becoming the benchmark against which I'll measure every future adventure.
I am so excited to meet you there.
