BALI YOGA AND HOLISTIC WELLBEING RETREAT
JUNE 5TH - 11TH 2025
Join me in Bali -JUNE 5th - 11th 2025
Are you looking for a unique and life-changing experience? Look no further than Bali, the stunning island paradise that captured my heart and soul back in 1992. For 12 unforgettable years, I called Bali home, and it became a part of who I am today.
As a young parent raising my half-Indonesian children, I started a successful clothing business that flourished in the vibrant local community. Bali holds a special place in my heart, and I'm thrilled to be able to share that with you.
Back in the 90s, Bali had no yoga retreats or vegan cafes. But I had a dream of bringing these transformative experiences to this beautiful island. And now, I'm living that dream by running my 10th yoga retreat.
Join me in Bali for a life-changing experience where you'll deepen your practice, nourish your body with delicious vegan and non-vegan meals, and connect with a community of like-minded individuals. Let Bali transform you, just like it transformed me.

Three Lessons from My Yoga Retreat in Bali
Where do I start, as I learn so much when I'm away and teaching?
Gratitude -
Gratitude is a buzzword on social media, but in Bali, it's a lived experience. The Balinese people express their gratitude through daily rituals and offerings to the gods, known as canang sari. These offerings, placed everywhere from homes to motorbikes, symbolize gratitude, peace, and abundance. The intricate preparation of canang sari involves a community effort, often led by women. This practice embodies self-sacrifice, thankfulness, and meticulous attention to detail, reflecting the deep-seated values of the Balinese culture.
Conclusion: Gratitude is best expressed through consistent, meaningful rituals rather than mere words.
2. Bali is the perfect place for a Yoga Retreat
Bali is an extraordinary setting for a yoga retreat, offering a serene and spiritual environment that enhances the practice of yoga. The island's lush landscapes, tranquil beaches, and vibrant culture create a backdrop of peace and inspiration. The Balinese people’s devotion to their spiritual practices and their warm, welcoming nature add a unique depth to the retreat experience. The local traditions, like daily offerings and temple ceremonies, immerse participants in a culture of mindfulness and gratitude, enriching their journey. Bali's natural beauty and cultural richness make it an ideal place for reflection, growth, and deepening one's yoga practice.
Conclusion: Holding a yoga retreat in Bali not only provides a stunning physical environment but also immerses participants in a spiritually enriching experience. The island’s unique blend of natural beauty and cultural depth creates the perfect atmosphere for profound personal and collective transformation.
3. The power of daily practice
The retreat reinforced the value of daily practice. Initially, participants were anxious about doing 3-4 hours of yoga daily for a week. The first few days were challenging, but by day seven, everyone, regardless of age or ability, experienced a transformation. The key is consistency, not the length of practice. This daily ritual of practice led to noticeable growth and ease by the end of the retreat.
Looking Ahead: I’m excited to share these lessons and more at the next Bali Retreat in 2024
