Bali Yoga Healing Retreat

Healing & transformative

The Yoga Rejuvenation and Healing Retreat is a carefully designed program and opportunity to delve beneath the surface of the usual yoga retreat experience in Bali. You'll be guided by yoga teachers with decades of teaching and facilitation experience. We immerse ourselves in the deeply spiritual traditions and rituals of the Balinese people and attune to the healing potential of the sacred waters and this incredible land. You'll emerge revitalised and ready for the new year ahead.

 

Facilitated by Robert and Mandy of Kookaburra Yoga, the retreat program has a generous balance of yoga, meditation, relaxation, breathwork as well as a healing ceremony with Bali's youngest high priestess, a healing chakra meditation at the sacred Besakih Mother Temple, bathing in the volcanic waters of Mt Batur and under a sacred waterfall and secret grotto under green cliffs.

 

Our venue is a gorgeous private retreat centre with both an outdoor and indoor, air-conditioned  yoga room and wonderful spaces including a private open air dining hall, meditation cave, luxurious pool, air conditioned bedrooms, within a traditional regal compound. Located in the heart of Ubud, the venue is walking distance to wonderful cafes, healing centres, the palace, river, shops and craft markets - the perfect place to shop for your Christmas presents.

 

This is a profound way to finish the year and an opportunity to reflect, rejoice and celebrate your precious life! The full program and booking information is below...

 

Sacred waters of Bali

Bali's spiritual and healing traditions honour, revere and incorporate the cleansing, renewing and healing properties of water and include many rites, sacred ceremonies and focussed healing in the water temples, palaces and also stunning natural rivers and waterfalls. During this retreat we visit some of the most sacred waters of Bali in thermal springs, a water cave and waterfall. We also visit Bali's youngest high priestess Ida Resi who will perform the 'Melukat', a traditional water purification ceremony for each guest.
