10 days in deep devotion and sadhana…this immersive retreat set high in the mountains of remote North Bali will suit dedicated practitioners who would like to deepen their relationship to Yoga and the Self.
We will explore Dhāraṇās from theVijñāna-bhairava-tantra & Nāda Yoga (sacred sound) inviting fascinating enquiry into the nature of the subtle body, as well as daily puja & recitation of mantra to the Goddess. Each day will include a Hatha Yoga practice (asana, pranayama, bandha, kriya & meditation) as well as one (or sometimes 2) deepening workshops (including Ecstatic Breathwork, Self-enquiry Process and Yoga Nidra).
Over the 10 days, we will share two incredibly powerful and transformational Havan fire ceremonies, as well as excursions to the Sacred Water Temple, a wonderful & iconic local Tejakula restaurant, a beautiful waterfall, and, a sunrise boating adventure with dolphins!
Our March Retreat falls over Nyepi - the Balinese New Year. The 29th of March is a sacred day of silence and is honoured throughout all of Bali. This is an incredibly auspicious time to be in practice together and we will observe the traditional customs, integrating this powerful celebration and ceremony into our our Retreat program.
Nataraj & Uma are united in their love and dedication to the path of Yoga, this retreat is an extension of this devotion…and you are warmly invited to share this truly unique opportunity to dive deep into Yoga sadhana, puja and self enquiry.
If you are ready for something truly expansive and transformative, and want an authentic, embodied experience of Tantra & Bhakti, we make this offering straight from our hearts to yours...this will be a truly unforgettable experience -
