Experiences
Mindful Movement
Daily guided movements to the sounds of nature, surrounded by mountains and fresh, cool air. Each day will begin with a grounding session that is tailored to release tension and create space for deep relaxation.
- Sunrise pranayama (breathing)
- Daily yoga practice and meditation sessions
- Workshops /Yoga Philosophy
- Reflection & Quiet time
Through mindful pauses, we will be gradually led to a day of digital rest and silence.
Immerse in Nature
Nestled within amidst a lush 10-hectare estate in the higher altitudes of central Bali, we will be staying on a working bio-dynamic coffee plantation, away from the tourist crowds and wrapped in the embrace of a peaceful sanctuary.
Silence
"Yoga is the stillness of the mind activity."- Sage Patanjali.
As our nervous system starts to calm down in the absence of artificial stimulation, our minds experience a gradual and comfortable ease and relaxation, moving us naturally towards stillness and silence.
Waterfall Meditation
We will spend time at a waterfall, sitting and walking mindfully in the woods. With an experienced guide, staying with the present moment continues to be part of our practice, supported by the elements of nature.
Sustainable Living
All rooms are uniquely built with one-of-a-kind repurposed local materials, and open views to the spectacular views. These buildings are constructed in a manner that fully respect the natural terrains of the mountains.
With the higher altitude and naturally-ventilated rooms, you will feel rejuvenated and recharged with the energy from the mountain fresh air.
**Please note there is no TV or air-condition in the rooms.
Farm to Table
Perched on the slopes of a dormant volcano, the grounds provide wholesome fresh and organic flavours of wild fruits and vegetables, delivered fresh to the table.
We learn about the specificity of this place and the natural cycle of nourishment, cultivation and consumption.
** Please note that all food served during retreat is vegetarian.
Retreat Leader
Hi, I’m Lipeng, your retreat leader and yoga instructor. Having worked as an architect for over two decades, I deeply understand the inherent need for city dwellers to step away periodically, recharge and find balance.
A retreat in a natural environment offers a wonderful opportunity to reset and re-align ourselves to nature's circadian rhythm. When we practise yoga in nature, our experience deepens and the wholesome effects multiply in our body, mind and spirit.
Together, away from the distractions from daily life, we slow down to take a pause. You will be surprised to find what your inner silence brings.
