Meet me in Paradise to enjoy a week of nourishing practices for your mind and body?
Enjoy a week of restorative mind and body practices, adventures, relaxing moments and deliciously fresh meals with old and new friends. Give yourself the gift of being pampered and fully taken care of, while leaving with practices you can integrate into your daily lives in the weeks and months ahead. Explore the cultural magnificence and natural beauty of incredible Bali. Leave feeling fully refreshed, revitalised, with a sense of deep calmness, ease, clarity, focus and inspiration from having immersed yourself in the most magical of settings.
“Placing your energy in what you want versus where you currently are is the first step to creating your desired future”
This will be the most serene week of your whole year!
Nestled on the side of a hill and surrounded by lush rice paddies and ravines covered in rainforest, our accommodation exudes ethnic chic luxury for yogis looking to escape to a magical space where you can relax, rejuvenate, and envelop yourself into Balinese culture and nature.
We will stay in Ubud, Bali, which is the cultural and beating heart of Bali with a diverse selection of art galleries, temples, boutique shops, and restaurants. This is also a place where you can experience what life is like in the Balinese countryside. Enjoy the tranquility of the village and let the rhythm of nature set your pace throughout each day, from rising early with the sun and mother nature to cooling down with the sensational colours of a Balinese sunset.
At our beautiful retreat space you won’t even need to leave the resort to immerse yourself in the natural surroundings. You can allow yourself to let go of everyday life and simply luxuriate in the comfort of our rooms and you’ll be treated to the most incredible views out of the large windows that welcome in natural light and gentle breezes.

Thank you Caroline for creating such a wonderful oasis – can’t wait to practice with you again!”

Highly recommended for all levels from beginner to experienced. I’ll definitely be back again – thanks Caroline”
“Caroline is fantastically knowledgable and really knows her stuff. She is a hugely inspirational teacher who shares her extensive knowledge, passion and enthusiasm for all things yoga with energy, enthusiasm and patience at all times.
