BALI MOUNTAIN RETREAT
10 - 20 April 2011
This retreat has now passed but it was so successful we plan to lead another retreat in Bali for 2012/13. If you are interested please let me know. Dates to follow shortly.
Set in beautiful Bali, experience the spirit of yoga on our peaceful Mountain Retreat. This retreat has it all with fantastic climate, delicious food and healing massage.
Everything is arranged for you so you just need to book your flight and arrive. We will do the rest.
YOGA IN BALI
10 days of Vinyasa Flow Yoga with Cynthia Lee Richardson. There will be two yoga sessions every day. The morning session will be uplifting and energising, whilst in the evening we will relax into healing, meditative stretches and soul searching journeys.
Cynthia is an experienced, certified yoga teacher and teaches Hatha yoga in the flowing Vinyasa style. This flowing practice, combined with attention to breath and self-awareness, creates a moving meditation that inspires transformation and growing consciousness.
Expect to be challenged and invigorated in the mornings, and healed and restored with the setting of the sun.
Classes are suitable for all levels.
LOCATION and ACCOMMODATION
Nestled in the beautiful mountains of north Bali this peaceful retreat centre is surrounded by the abundant wildlife and culture of Indonesia and offers stunning views of the ocean. There are quiet rural beaches, green rice terraces, and plantations of many kinds such as coffee, cocoa and clove.
As you journey from the airport to the North of Bali you will pass by mangrove forests, rainforest, waterfalls, volcanoes and mountain lakes.
The coast is 15 minutes drive away where you can discover beautiful coral reefs, which are excellent for diving and snorkelling.
Your rooms are secluded, bright and airy with Indonesian inspired themes. They are set in spacious gardens that surround a gorgeous salt water pool which is available for use at any time of day and night.
FOOD FOR THE SOUL
Enjoy nourishing vegetarian dishes made from local fresh produce. The evening meals will be carefully chosen and prepared by Stephanie Satriawan who has a wealth of experience of Indonesian food having lived and worked in north Bali. She is also the owner of the popular local Thai restaurant, Jasmine Kitchen, in Lovina. Stephanie will be happy to arrange cooking classes and provide recipes for you to take away.
