BALI RETREAT: Bloom Women's Yoga Retreat
Your TourHero
I am Dora Nemes, a Hungarian Yoga Teacher, Sound Bath Therapist and doTERRA Wellness Advocate. I help mainly women take control of their health, beauty and well -being by sharing the ancient wisdom of yogic practices and pure essential oils as Natural Solutions, so they can experience new levels of Wholeness, because life can be beautiful and natural.
As a mother, a woman, and a bohemian soul I live a free spirited life - in the beautiful island of Cyprus - living my passions.
I have been practising and living yoga for 18 years. In 2016 I have been blessed by becoming a Hatha Yoga Teacher (RYT200) under the guidance of an Indian master, Dr. Indu Arora, who is an internationally renowned yogini and Ayurvedic yoga therapist (Yogsadhna - yoga as therapy - www. yogsadhna.com). In 2019 I continued my studies as a Yin Yoga Teacher (YIN50) with Yogi Ram (Arhanta Yoga Ashram). Yin Yoga naturally guided me to my next Hungarian master, Anna Mezosi ( Himalayan Yoga Tradition) and under her guidance I am currently participating in her Ayurvedic Woman Yoga Therapist (RYT200) training ( October - 2021 - February 2024).
I am also an artist, painting beautiful ‘yoga related’ Art on canvas, stones and walls , as true expressions of my Heart and Blessings.
Since 2016 I've been teaching yoga regularly in my beautiful yoga studio in Paphos - offering hatha & yin yoga classes, emotional aromatherapy, sound bath meditation, yoga workshops and retreats, and private yoga therapy for improving people well -being, helping them to heal, to blossom.

This sanctuary, nestled between the lush greenery and the whispering waves of the ocean, is the perfect setting for our retreat, designed to help you embrace your feminine side and explore the stages of a woman's body-soul.
Once you’re checked in, take a moment to settle down and absorb the calming energy of your new surroundings. In the spirit of wellness and nourishment, we’ll offer a variety of healthy snacks and refreshments to replenish your energy and tantalize your taste buds.
As the day mellows into a vibrant Bali evening, we’ll come together for our opening ceremony and introductions.

Let us embark on this transformative journey together, celebrating, exploring, and embracing the divine feminine within.
Day 2
What is Self-Love?
Today centers around the concept of self-love, where we’ll define self-love, reflect on our capacity to love, and learn about tools to foster that inner connection. We’ll start this process with a session of Morning Meditation, Mantra Chanting Pranayama, and Hatha Yoga. This holistic practice will serve as a perfect primer, harmonizing your mind, body, and spirit, allowing you to align with the divine energies of the rising sun.
After a delicious Balinese breakfast, our learning continues with workshops focused on the beauty and power of essential oils.
