Mid-year is the perfect time to get away and treat yourself to some rest, reflection, and pampering! Join me at Bali’s stunning Bagus Jati Resort for 6 days of nourishing yoga, meditation, and self-care. Nestled amongst 4 hectares of mountainside gardens, Bagus Jati feels like another world, far away from the hustle and bustle of Ubud. This will be a time of deep connection and growth in a breathtaking setting, surrounded by lush forests, exquisite gardens, and wide open skies.
This retreat is all about YOU. Each morning will begin with yoga, followed by a sumptuous breakfast together. Late afternoons will find us back on the mat enjoying restorative yoga or meditation as the sun sets. The middle of the day will be free for a luscious spa treatment, a swim, or an excursion. We’ll gather together in the evenings for a gourmet dinner.
Last but not least, Bagus Jati is the home of one of Bali’s premier Ayurvedic spas, providing services from massages and facials, to a full menu of delicious Ayurvedic treatments.
My goal is that you’ll leave feeling rested, connected to yourself, and ready to share the love with those in your life!
