Connect with yourself in a pristine natural environment, while rejuvenating with the highest quality food straight from the permaculture garden. Practice Ashtanga in the traditional Mysore style, with calm and relaxed teachers that are there to help you to adjust the practice to your needs. Our goal is for beginner students as well as experienced practitioners to benefit from the retreat, ultimately guiding each practitioner into the heart of their potential.
Experience Bali, without the tourist crowds; imagine Ubud 20 years ago. Our space deeply cares about nature, and implements sustainable solutions such as renewable energy, natural building, food forests & zero waste.
This week-long program is designed to invest in your holistic wellbeing, by taking care of your body, mind, emotions and spirit. We are keeping the space intimate with an expected group size of 10-15 people max.
Experience
Morning Mysore Practice: Mysore Style is the heart of Ashtanga Yoga. In the Mysore method, students are met as individuals. Each student practices at their own pace while the teachers are there to give them personalised support.
Personal Development Workshops: To take time to look into yourself, clarify the way you truly want to live and the steps which you need to take to be there. We will be using impactful self-development & holistic healing tools, which guides us to embody our full potential.
Nature Excursions & Permaculture Workshop: To reconnect with nature and explore ways of conscious & sustainable living.
3 delicious daily meals – vegetarian & homemade, using organic produce from the permaculture garden and local farmers.
Our peaceful location is surrounded by Balinese jungle, waterfalls and river. It is truly a hidden gem, with deeply rooted values that support nature, and the local community. Located 1h40′ away from Denpasar Airport (DPS), and 25′ from Tabanan town.
Silent morning time – to create space for positive transformation.
Small Groups: We keep our retreats to a maximum of 15 students only, so that we can develop a connection with each of our students.
Private 1on1 Session: To support you in the best way during your stay with us, we provide a private session with either Ewelina or Rohil.
Accommodation & Food
We are located in a truly unique eco-resort in the middle of Balinese nature. When we went there for the first time we simply fell in love with its values and the healing power of nature which the place gives!
Be ready for a real, raw experience of living in nature, while still in the comfort of your open-air eco bungalow! We have several room options: some of them are just next to the waterfall, others facing the jungle, rice fields or river.
Nestled in nature, we are lucky to be surrounded by the sounds of waterfalls, crickets and birds. Be ready to make friends with geckos, ants and other living beings who are a part of the ecosystem! 🙂
As you step out of the gate you can enjoy beautiful hikes and trekking paths. One gets a true feeling of local Balinese life, with their warm smiles accompanying you at every step.
In your free time you may relax by the waterfall, have a swim in the river, read a book from our little library or have a traditional balinese massage.
Nearly everything consumed during the retreat is grown on-site, using organic ingredients, sustainable practices, and harvested with loving hands before each meal.
You will be served delicious vegetarian food straight from our permaculture garden. The meals will be nourishing, easy to digest, and prepared with the highest quality organic ingredients and lots of love.
Permaculture is at the heart of everything they do. This ensures that we serve you the best possible food in the cleanest and purest way, without causing any harm to the land.
The water is also as pure as the food, as it comes straight from the spring and is additionally filtered.
