Bali is an incredible island and our favourite place on Earth. Its energy charges you up from the moment your feet touch its soil and somehow – it changes you, cleanses the soul, heals you from within and makes you want to come back again and again. Deep in the mountainous centre of Bali, among hanging banyan trees and lush rice paddies, is a town thought to be the Indonesian island’s spiritual and cultural heart. With a name that comes from the Balinese word Ubad, which means medicine, Ubud has long been known as a mystical place, rich in healing powers. We have carefully tailored this unique retreat to offer you a perfect balance between exploring Bali, with multiple excursion to temple sites, rice paddies, sound pyramids and other magical places and practising yoga. In Bali, there is a belief that gods and goddesses exist in the elements of nature, so for Balinese, the spirit world and the human world are constantly interacting. More than 90% of the population practices Balinese Hinduism and everywhere you look, women are making offerings of rice and brightly coloured flowers, blessing the things they interact with. The people of Ubud are incredibly open, and foreigners are welcomed into the local religious world. As part of our retreat, we will have the opportunity to participate in some of the spiritual rituals. We will explore the spirituality of Bali, visiting a Sacred Water Temple. For us, one of the most incredible and powerful experiences of Bali was bathing in the pools at the sacred water temple Tirtha Empul. The temple, built in the 9th Century, has 13 ornate spouts, and each stream of cool fresh water represents a different type of purification, from fertility and love to protection from evil spirits. We’ll spend a week in a beautiful hideaway, in a secluded estate. Despite being in the heart of the buzzing and vibrant Ubud, you’ll experience the peacefulness of over half an acre of fern gardens, bamboo groves, frangipani trees, and jungle, giving you the best of both worlds. We’ll practice in our private yoga shala, dive into the 2 aqua-blue pools, eat and socialize in rustic ye
