booked out
Nestled in the heart of the lush, vibrant island of Bali, a truly unique and transformative yoga retreat awaits.
Welcome to ‘Bodhi: Awakening Your True Nature’ Retreat, where ancient wisdom and modern comfort merge to create a journey of self-discovery, mindfulness, and inner peace.
Bodhi, a Sanskrit term, translates to "awakening", where it embodies the essence of our retreat. We invite you to embark on a journey of re-awakening your senses and exploring your inner illumination. Amidst Bali's serene landscapes and vibrant culture, we will delve into the teachings of mindfulness, meditation and holistic well-being that form the heart of Bodhi philosophy.
Our Retreat Home
Our Retreat Home, Basundari is a private luxury property nestled right in the heart of Ubud.
Basundari features 2 tranquil pools with views of coconut palms and rice fields, a sauna and ice bath, an abundance of meditation spots nestled among greenery and an open air yoga shala situated next to a waterfall where we will be practicing daily. The centres architecture seamlessly blends traditional Balinese design with modern amenities, offering you a sanctuary of comfort and serenity. As you wake up to the gentle sounds of nature and panoramic views of the landscape, you'll feel an instant connection to the beauty that Bali offers.
Daily Sunrise & Sunset Bodhi Yoga & Meditation
Awaken your senses with an invigorating sunrise Bodhi Yoga session that salutes the day's first light. Each morning we will begin in the open air Shala with a serene Bodhi Yoga session - a harmonious blend of a morning flow yoga practice, breathework and meditation, designed to nurture your body, mind and spirit. The practice will encourage you to connect with the present moment and awaken the dormant potential within you.
As the sun sets, we will conclude our days with a Slow Flow to Yin class, incorporating mindfulness and self enquiry encouraging you to explore the depths of your consciousness. In the gentle embrace of Bali's nature, you'll learn techniques to cultivate presence, observe your thoughts and find calm amidst life's whirlwinds.
Mindful Exploration
These experiences will deepen your connection to the Bodhi path and the wisdom of this land. Whilst the retreat is designed to take you within, there are also opportunities for mindful exploration of Bali's cultural and natural treasures. A guided excursion to a sacred temple for a water blessing, Sound Healing with a local practitioner, nearby rice terrace exploration and local markets provide a glimpse into the island's rich history and traditions. Engage with the local community, fostering connections that enrich your understanding of the interconnectedness of all beings.
In between activities, you'll have ample time for personal reflection, journaling, or simply lounging by the pool, allowing the teachings of Bodhi to integrate into your being. Our Retreat is an opportunity to step away from the demands of daily life, immerse yourself in the embrace of Bali's natural beauty and embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation.
Nourishing Body and Soul
Balinese cuisine, known for its vibrant flavors and nourishing qualities, will be a part of your retreat experience.
