Serene Soul Bali Retreat: Rejuvenate, Relax & Restore in the Enchanting Embrace of Bali's Magical Nature with Courtney Nied
Your TourHero
Growing up with love for personal challenges, Courtney always desired activity that challenged her to be stronger and break down her own barriers. She first practiced yoga over 20 years ago in search of a way to calm her mind, connect to her physical strength, and change the patterns in her life that were no longer serving her.
Courtney believes that yoga is a path for all of us to get out of our own way, to open up to the truth of our highest being, meet our inner-most authentic selves, and to approach our inner world with an inquisitive mind rooted in love. To her, yoga is an endless journey of growth and exploration, and an incredible tool meant for everyone, no matter your age, size, shape, or body type. It is not only a powerful tool for quieting the mind, but it's also meant to be fun and bring out the child-like energy rooted in all beings.
Being able to merge her two passions of yoga and travel is a dream to Courtney, and she is honored and excited to share her specially curated retreats with the world. Courtney has over 1,000 hours of education and over 3,000 hours of teaching. She owns the yoga school, The Rising Heart. In her vinyasa classes, Courtney leads a dynamic flow that challenges her students to get out of their own way, using props, modifications, and intensifications of poses to cater the practice to your own needs. She also teaches yin, restorative, and Slow Flow catered to individuals and small groups.
