We'll work with you to create a stress free, seamless holiday that can include bicycling from Mt. Batur downhill to the Elephant Park, then on to Ubud for culture, shopping, eating and more Yoga and Meditation if you are interested this, or other things.

The Focus of this Yoga and Meditation Retreat….."Free the Spirit"
Unburden the body, mind and spirit by letting go of expectations, ego, preconceived ideas, outdated beliefs, attachments, comparisons, expectations, competitiveness, force, and other self limiting notions and beliefs resulting in greater health, happiness and peace of mind. So join us with an open mind and open heart.

The Benefits of this Yoga and Meditation Retreat:
-
Tips on cultivating a healthier lifestyle.
-Greater strength, movement, power and flexibility.
-Reduced Stress and Tension on a deeper level.
-More awareness, focus and concentration.
-Self Inquiry into your thoughts and feelings.
-Recognizing your strengths with positive thoughts.
-Letting go of limiting ideas and out dated thoughts and beliefs.
-Shifting from force to power to acceptance.
-
Developing a strong sense of self and purpose.
-Renew your joy and zest for life

-Breath control – the breath is one of the most used tools in the practice of yoga and meditation. The mind gets distracted with things that have happened in the past, future, and everything else.

More about Yoga & Meditation:

Meditation is the continual, uninterrupted conscious ability to hold your mind at its quietest and calmest state. This awareness can only be achieved through great discipline and the practice of getting past the shallow, busy thoughts that plague each and every person’s mind. Our minds produce thoughts on conscious and subconscious levels; at times we may be thinking negatively without even realizing it. Meditation brings about an inner awareness that enables the person engaging in it to detach themselves from the unnecessary brainwork.

The purest form of happiness comes from a less polluted mind that filters negative activity from its space.  This can be likened to a spiritual journey. And certainly a quest for vision. Meditation sharpens the mind while in that very state, but it also gives a person the necessary tools to change the thought process in many other situations.  Anger, jealousy, and frustration are a few of the many feelings that a person has the ability to control.  By realizing a specific emotion is present (much like the way you are aware of your state of mind in meditation), you can then separate yourself from that feeling; it is not a part of you, just another passing thought.  Meditation allows a person to learn different “thought behavior”. It is essentially self-manipulation of the mind.      

The very reason meditation has such a profound effect on numerous  lives is that the process enables us to be our own witness to every aspect of thought and live “in the now”. A meditative lifestyle ensures that a person can live life this way as much as they choose to. The power of now is achieved through conscious thought and causes a person to feel more grateful and content on a daily basis. 

Venturing deeper inside of your self by the power of meditation detaches people from emotional baggage, their ego, and the solid world in which we live. The true personality can shine through when negative thoughts are not present in the mind. The mind is an abstract space that is seldom calm, but when settled it benefits a person to an unbounded extent. 

Researchers have conducted studies on people who meditate and have found that they are often happier, more apt to be able to concentrate for long periods of time, and able to calm themselves efficiently during a state of panic, anger, or frustration.  People who engage in meditation often feel that they lead more fulfilling lives. The human nature causes most humans to have insatiable appetites for material and superficial things, however, once these desires are overcome with the power of mediation, life can be lead to the fullest.  

Everyone deserves a time out, and when you have the chance to take a break, there are many options available. We hope you will join us on one of our retreats in Bali or Thailand or other places. A Yoga Vacation, Holiday, Getaway or Retreat offers the opportunity for a spiritual journey, vision quest, healthy fun adventure to fascinating and exotic places. In addition to an Asana Practice, utilizing various styles of Hatha Yoga to strengthen, cleanse and purify the body, our retreats also include Meditation and Pranayama (breathwork).

We are happy to help you in any way we can with the planning of your trip.

On this yoga retreat in Bali you will give yourself the wonderful gift of reconnecting to yourself, as you nourish, and nurture your mind, body, and spirit. These yoga retreats provide you with the chance to yield to natural rhythms, enabling you to enter more deeply relaxed states that will help you think more clearly, and respond to life's demands with more agility, and creativity.

During your yoga retreat in Bali,  you'll have the chance to truly relax, and empower yourself physically, mentally and spiritually. Daily Yoga strengthens and tones the body, while Meditation helps with mental relaxation, clarity, vision, and contentment.

Other Stuff:
If you've already secured this time off, contact us today! We will reserve your spot.

Bali is 12 hours forward of Tampa, Florida time, (11 during DST). If you plan on beginning the yoga retreat on a Monday, you would need to leave at minimum, on a Friday in order to arrive one day prior. However, do not feel restricted by beginning on a Monday. Come anytime that fits into your schedule.

Extending your stay beyond any two week period is highly recommended, as the airfare will be the single biggest financial outlay you will have.

Lodging, like everything else, runs the gamut from $30.00 per night for a basic bungalow with its own bath and usually hot water to over $1000.00 per night for five star lodging or private villas. The food in Bali is awesome and reasonable. There are all types of delicious, healthy, and diverse cuisines to choose from including vegetarian. Fees to temples, etc., are usually no more than several dollars. Shopping is also inexpensive, and the choices are excellent.
