We are thrilled
to announce that our next life-enriching yoga and meditation retreat will take
place on the lush, mystical isle of Bali, "The Island of the Gods", a Hindu
paradise known for its healing energy.
Your exotic
adventure begins when you are whisked away to beautiful Ubud, Bali's artistic
and cultural center. Rice terraces and the Monkey Jungle, border this charming
town, which is sure to delight you with its many spas, healers, artisans and
quaint cafes.
Your bungalow awaits
along with vouchers for Verona Spa, where you can indulge in massages, herb
scrubs and flower baths. The Ubud Bungalow, is an elegant and serene sanctuary
in the heart of the village, complete with a swimming pool, an outdoor yoga
studio, and beautiful gardens. www.ubudbungalow.com
The itinerary
includes daily yoga and meditation sessions, fresh island breakfasts, and group
excursions. There will be plenty
of time to venture through town, luxuriate in spa treatments, lounge by the
pool, and retreat to your private room.
