Accommodation
Our time in Bali will be split between two locations so guests can experience the best of what this lovely land has to offer! We will start at a seaside town away from the hustle and bustle and really settle in to this week by the ocean. We'll spend half of the week in beach accommodations, a relaxing way to ease into our holiday. We will be taken care of by an award-winning boutique hotel family that will host us at both locations in Bali. The first is sumptuous, yet unassuming - an ocean-front retreat that lies in the shade of Mount Agung, held up as sacred by Balians, surrounded by opulent coconut groves. Mid-way through the week, we'll head into Bali's most famous town of Ubud. We'll be hosted in luxury accommodations - a tranquil and secluded hillside retreat that sits high up on the edge of the rich green Ayung River valley in Bali's central foothills, in the traditional Balinese hill village of Payangan. Both hotels offer award-winning design accommodations and even one of the world's "Top 50 Pools in the World.". 
Activities & Experiences
Besides the yoga/meditation/spa treatments throughout the week, there are specific daily activities to align with the elemental themes:
EARTH: enjoy a tour of a gourmet organic garden during a private cooking class with a head chef
WATER: we’ll take a ride in a traditional jukung boat along the eastern coast to a secluded beach with luxury lunch
FIRE: partake in a traditional fire ceremony led by a Balinese priest before a delicious tasting meal
AIR: breathe deep in the misty morning air as we take a guided walk through the picturesque rice paddy fields
ETHER: end the week with a special sound ceremony for our minds and bodies, as well as a traditional Balinese ‘melekut’ blessing. Read more below for all of the activities included.
Wellness
Daily yoga and meditation classes will be offered in a way to relax, stimulate, and help guests grow in their own personal practice. Classes are open to all levels, beginner to practiced, and can range from gentle and restorative to more vigorous vinyasa flow styles.* Style and class levels will be determined and moulded to fit participating students' needs, and with a small intimate retreat class size, students will be able to get personalized attention and comfortability to deeply explore their practice. Depending on each retreat location, classes will be held in a dedicated indoor yoga space, and some also offer outdoor options for us to use if the weather is agreeable.
In this new itinerary in addition to a daily yoga class, we will also enjoy another activity in the line of mindfulness - either a second ‘asana’ (movement based) yoga class, a meditation class (or meditation walk), or a special Balinese ceremony or blessing. Each day will offer guests a way to enhance their physical health and bodies, but also a stimulating way to enrich also their mental and spiritual health as well.
Culinary Journeys
Healthful, vegetarian* food is part of the retreat experience, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily, either hosted at our hotel or out and about in town. Some even come served on a banana leaf! The cuisine is simple, delicious and Balinesian, using fresh ingredients from local markets. We will take our tastebuds further by exploring Indonesian cuisine in a cooking class - we'll be accompanied by our chef to a gourmet organic garden with views to Mount Agung and the fields of rice paddies, where we'll pick fresh ingredients and have a master cooking class to learn a bit of how to bring the flavors of Bali back home with us!
*In the yogic tradition, meals on our retreats are vegetarian. When the company was founded, we wanted to create consistency and integrity within our yogic lineage as well as finding the most consistent way in each location to leave a light footprint. We know not all our guests are vegetarian, but we ask that they be open and understanding of the principles that guide this choice for just the few days that we are together. That said, breakfast is an open menu with all diets being represented, so there are usually options of meat / fish. Plus, a couple of the provided meals at sea-based locations will have an option for seafood, and of course guests can choose whatever they prefer from menus when we are on our own for a few meals during the week. Special allergies can be addressed and noted.
